(5,281 posts)22. SK refers to Sefirin Kizi which I mentioned in an earlier post
It is currently running on Star tv and can be found with english subtitles at the dizi sites previously linked. It is heavy drama but tackles the same themes in almost an overly-wrought way (at least for most american tastes). It is actually very compelling and engaging for me. The second season has just started, the first season has 17 episodes.
Your very engaging writing style reminds me of the author I previously mentioned, Navid Shahzad who discusses Engin and his roles so lucidly. For example, she recently wrote of the 2nd season of SK:
"The New Season: Wonders and Possibilities by Navid Shahzad
Engin Akyürek - the ACTOR·Saturday, September 12, 2020·13 minutes
Every now and then, we hear a voice that stirs us, see a hero that leaves us breathless like Rhett Butler does at the end of the iconic movie Gone with the Wind (1939). A 21st C character like Sancar is the kind of hero that viewers have learned to cherish without necessarily revering him, since Akyürek plays him in a nuanced yet deliberately realistic manner. Bristling with intelligence, Sancar is as chaotic as a thunder storm, as unpredictable as the weather at sea and endearingly awkward at times, yet he always remains thrillingly alive and vibrant. Such is the energy exuded by the man that he can never enter a room quietly or without being noticed since he alters the very dynamics of every situation. Akyüreks success lies in playing Sancar like a larger than life character hungering for love and reunion with his beloved, towering above the rest of the male characters despite his very human failings....."
I don't know how heavy your interest goes in this direction, and I don't want to bore you with the Engin stuff, but I'm doing the required imbibing and can't help myself.
I'll get back to Nulifer later.....
