(46,166 posts)Last night it finally occurred to me that Elif did exactly what she'd been asking Omer to do. As he suggested she do when they argued at P&A's wedding. It escaped me the first time around. She gave up everything and started over while waiting for him. Living on a shoestring ...as it should be..
As for Ege, who runs the pension... three months after the final breakup it was time for family to make a sacrifice for her. Asli and Ege are a modern couple. Married only one month. But Elif was still a mess and they had to rush into Plan B with Omer at the gates.

Last night during one kissing scene I'm sure I saw Elif give Omer a little tongue. The public was wild for BML. But Turkish censors must hate this series. They've been seriously cracking down on funding production companies that push the boundaries of Erdogan's sense of morality. I hope it never vanishes from Netflix. And I'll encourage Netflix to steer clear of series and films where forehead kissing is as far as love making goes. Bad enough that couples in bed have the covers neatly tucked down between them. It's fine for Turkish tv to show people getting beaten to a mash. But kissing on the lips sends their boxers up the crack. Phooey.
One thing that nags me. When Omer shows up late to P&A's wedding and he and Elif have the final argument he never tells her he's late because he solved his father's 25+ years old murder case. He tells her he received a sign telling him why he's in law enforcement but never explains. That's too much like American soaps. Not that it would have changed her mind. But still, ugh.
