Demet Özdemir and Furkan Palalı lead the cast of No 309, a romantic comedy series from Turkey that Gold Film produced and FOX launched on June 1, 2016. Aslı Zengin and Banu Zengin Tak created it, and Hasan Tolga Pulat directed. The show ran for two seasons and ended on October 25, 2017, with its 65th episode.

The story begins when Onur, who must marry and have a child to claim an inheritance from his grandfather and take over the family company, is pushed into a blind date by his mother. Lale is in the same place for a date arranged by her own mother. Strangers to each other, the two end up at the same table through a misunderstanding. They part the next day and agree to meet again, but Lale discovering that she is pregnant upends their plans.

The cast also includes Sumru Yavrucuk, Beyti Engin, Fatma Toptaş, Sevinç Erbulak, Cihan Ercan, Ceren Taşçı, İrem Helvacıoğlu, Gökçe Özyol, Erdal Özyağcılar, Dilek Çelebi and Ünal Silver. Although the story resembles the Korean series Fated to Love You, the show is not an adaptation. It also traveled to the Arab world, where a Tunisian-dialect dub aired on Nessma in 2018.

Through different eyes

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

No 309 sets up one of romantic comedy's favourite templates: Onur, who must marry to claim his inheritance, and Lale, there for a date her mother arranged, end up at the same table through a misunderstanding. The chemistry between Demet Özdemir and Furkan Palalı carries the show from the first episodes, and names like Sumru Yavrucuk and Sevinç Erbulak add colour to the side stories. But 65 episodes, each around two and a half hours, is a lot for such a light story; that length makes some subplots feel like filler at times. If the couple wins you over, you will still see it through.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

The premise of No 309, two strangers sharing a night after sitting at the wrong table and then an unexpected pregnancy, is a fertile spark for romantic comedy. Hasan Tolga Pulat's direction is clean and glossy, and the cast lands its comic timing well. The problem is structural: episodes of about 145 minutes kill the nimbleness a romantic comedy needs. The editing stretches scenes instead of completing them, and the same misunderstanding patterns get used again and again. The story's resemblance to the Korean series Fated to Love You also stands out; even though it is not an adaptation, it dulls the sense of originality. In a tighter format this could have been a far sharper piece.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

No 309 is mostly a fun, colourful romantic comedy. There is no rough violence, and the family squabbles and misunderstandings raise a smile. However, the story begins with two strangers spending a night together and the pregnancy that follows. So watching with young children may bring some questions. For teenagers and adults it makes an easy evening show.
