The Characters
Ferit Korhan (Mert Ramazan Demir)
Ferit, the lively and outgoing grandson of Halis Agha, possesses an extraverted and cheerful demeanor. Known for his womanizing ways, he indulges in a carefree lifestyle, despite being in a relationship with his girlfriend, Pelin. Deep down, Ferit recognizes that his feelings for Pelin are not rooted in love.
As a form of punishment, Ferit's family sends him to study abroad, and he graduates from a university in the USA. Returning to Istanbul, he continues his carefree existence, yearning to live life on his own terms. However, the burden of financial dependence on his family restrains him from openly rebelling against their wishes.
When Halis Agha insists that Ferit marry someone from Gaziantep, Ferit reluctantly acquiesces, assuming the marriage will be a mere formality, allowing him to maintain his desired lifestyle without interference.
Seyran Sanli (Afra Saraçoğlu)
Seyran, Kazim's daughter, hails from the vibrant city of Gaziantep, where she was raised. Possessing remarkable beauty, success, and a strong-willed nature, Seyran enjoys the advantage of being part of one of Gaziantep's most affluent families. Growing up in such an environment, Seyran has had the opportunity to learn both English and French languages.
Despite her privileged upbringing, Seyran finds herself weary of the constant pressure exerted by her father and aunt. Longing to pursue her education and explore her passion for sculpture and painting, she yearns for a life beyond the confines of societal expectations. However, Seyran finds herself unable to resist the weight of her family's expectations.
Ultimately, Seyran succumbs to familial pressure and agrees to marry Ferit, even though her heart does not harbor any love for him.
Suna Sanli (Beril Pozam)
Suna, Seyran's older sister, possesses both beauty and innocence. Similar to Seyran, Suna has had the opportunity to acquire proficiency in both English and French languages. However, their personalities diverge significantly. Suna is characterized by her gentle nature, obedience, and quiet demeanor.
Yearning for a fulfilling marital life, Suna seeks to liberate herself from the burden of her father's expectations. She dreams of a harmonious marriage that will grant her freedom from the pressures imposed upon her by her father's influence.
Halis Korhan (Çetin Tekindor)
Halis, the patriarch of the Korhanli family, originates from Gaziantep but has achieved great success as a businessman in Istanbul. With an authoritarian disposition, Halis remains deeply rooted in his traditions. He consistently asserts his authority and often dismisses the opinions of his children, maintaining a firm grip on decision-making within the family.
As trust in his grandson Ferit wanes, Halis is faced with a difficult choice. In a bid to instill a sense of responsibility and discipline, he resolves to arrange a marriage for Ferit with someone from Gaziantep, hoping that this decision will lead to a positive transformation in his grandson's life.
Hattuç Sanlı (Serif Sezer)
Hattuc, the aunt of Kazim, holds a significant role in the lives of Seyran and Suna, who also refer to her as their aunt. Despite being raised in a wealthy family, Hattuc is acutely aware that their financial status has diminished over time. Consequently, she assumes meticulous control over every aspect of the family's finances.
Kazim, recognizing Hattuc's shrewdness and expertise, entrusts her with the responsibility of managing domestic affairs. Hattuc, remaining unmarried, resides alongside her nephew Kazim and his family, playing an integral role in their household dynamics.
İfakat Korhan (Gülşen Santırcıoğlu)
Ifakat, the eldest daughter-in-law of Halis Agha, is a widow who has experienced immense tragedy in her past. Sadly, both her husband and son lost their lives in a car accident. Ifakat, driven by an insatiable desire for power, is an exceedingly cunning and dangerous woman who would go to great lengths to maintain her position of influence.
Within the Korhanli family, Ifakat wields significant power and strives to preserve it. She achieves this by cultivating a close relationship with her father-in-law, Halis Agha, and engaging in a secret love affair with her brother-in-law, Orhan. These clandestine affairs further fuel her quest for control and authority within the family.
Orhan Korhan (Emre Altuğ)
Orhan, the son of Halis Agha, is wedded to Gulgun, and together they have two sons, Ferit and Fuat. Orhan is characterized by his unwavering obedience towards his father, rarely engaging in arguments or questioning his authority. Despite lacking love for Gulgun, Orhan complies with his family's wishes and enters into a marriage with her.
However, Orhan harbors a clandestine love affair with Ifakat, adding a layer of secrecy and complexity to his personal life. This affair serves as an outlet for his desires and acts as a stark contrast to his dutiful and compliant nature within the family dynamic.
Pelin (Buce Buse Kahraman)
Pelin, Ferit's girlfriend, hails from a prosperous family background. Initially, she agrees to Ferit's marriage arrangement under the assumption that it will be purely on paper, believing that their relationship would remain unaffected. However, as she notices Ferit developing feelings for Seyran, Pelin becomes determined to put an end to their marriage. She does everything in her power to dissolve the union, as she fears the emotional connection between Ferit and Seyran may jeopardize their relationship.
Kazım Sanlı (Diren Polatoğulları)
Kazim, the father of Seyran and Suna, comes from a privileged upbringing and yearns to sustain his opulent lifestyle. In pursuit of maintaining his wealth, he plans to sell the inherited lands, yet paradoxically, he restricts his own family from enjoying their financial resources. Kazim holds the belief that his daughters should marry affluent men, which leads him to eagerly embrace the prospect of becoming related to the Korhanli family, recognizing their status.
When Ferit expresses his desire to marry Seyran instead of Suna, Kazim willingly accepts the proposal, oblivious to the potential repercussions this decision may have on his daughters and their future happiness. In his pursuit of financial gain and social standing, Kazim overlooks the well-being and aspirations of his own famil
