So I don’t know if you read the summary that came out this morning about s2 (there’s already so much drama 🤦🏻‍♀️) but I’d like your opinion (I love reading them haha). Personally, while the cancer plot is “heavy” I’m happy they didn’t brush it off like it was nothing, it would have been ridiculous. Also, in this way no one’s to blame, they’re both victims and once again they both break up for something bigger than them (a very serious illness) Plus it kinda “justifyes” eda’s choice of not telling him about the pregnancy, and it also makes sense for him to be cold again (like we’ve seen in the trailer) cause after a near-death experience so many people grow attachment issues

I have read it and I agree with you, among all the possibilities they could have gone with for the separation and time jump, it it's a pretty realistic storyline in my opinion. Or as realistic as you can get on a soap opera where they throw more trauma and tragic circumstances at the characters than anyone should ever have to handle. I keep reading on twitter that their relationship is toxic... it's not toxic, they just can't catch a break!!!! However it's also believable that with how they've conducted their relationship thus far, only relying on their feelings for one another and not doing anything towards dealing with everything that's happened, that a fissure could occur.

At the end of the day, this is not the story I would have chosen or wanted, but it's what's happening so I'll adjust and go with it.

I think Serkan deciding to push Eda away after a bout with cancer is in character. The poor man must think he's cursed! First he never recovers from his childhood trauma and abandonment issues, doesn't believe in love, but falls in love anyway only to immediately find out his father is responsible for her parent's death. Then they find their way back to each other over the manipulation of many meddling, nefarious forces only for him to get into a plane crash on their wedding day and get amnesia. Once he remembers, he realizes he's been manipulated and abused by his oldest friend and then is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Is it shocking that he probably just thinks he can't have nice things? Like Eda. He loves Eda with everything he has, so from his perspective why would he want to saddle this beautiful young woman who is full of vitality and promise with his nothing-but-misery existence?

Reverting to his robotic, work-obsessed solitary life kind of makes sense. Besides as many people in fandom have pointed out a traumatic bout with terminal illness like brain cancer often causes changes in a person. Him telling her he doesn't want kids, also makes sense if he's trying to push her away and can't imagine bringing a child into situation he feels like the next cursed thing is just around the corner.

Then from Eda's perspective, what is she supposed to do if he throws himself into work, won't set a wedding date and shuts down on her completely? We know how determined and even cruel Serkan can be when he wants to shut her out, eps 3, 7, 14, and 29 showed us that. If she stood by him through the illness, but once he was physically better, he'd made the decision that they couldn't be happy, it's hard to blame her for moving on.

Perhaps she found out she was pregnant after she left and when she tried to tell him, that's when he shut her down and told her that he didn't want to know anything about her life. So if the man has been adamant about not wanting a child and not wanting anything to do with Eda to the point he won't let her tell him, it's hard to blame Eda for protecting her kid from what she fears would be a pretty significant rejection. Might not be the right thing to do, but she's not a villain for doing it.

In the teaser Serkan seemed a bit bitter as well, which makes sense, because he might be hurt that she left (another person abandoning him) even thought he actively pushed her away and has no one to blame but himself.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that Serkan has also been away, maybe he decided to go back to London and stayed there for years making it even harder for them to connect through mutual friends, we'll see.

So while it's heartbreaking to think this would have happened to them, especially after how happy they were in the last few eps, if this is the scenario, I think it can be done in a way that doesn't destroy either character. They are both victims of tragic circumstances, things beyond their control and their own demons. Serkan was always prone to push people away, and Eda was always primed to run away and they were both asked to bear more anguish and agonizing events that anyone should ever have to.

So for my part, if this is the story, I'll accept it because I'm actually really excited for what it will bring. If you can get past the sadness of how they get there, I have a feeling watching them come back together, and heal, and remember why they fell in love is going to be AMAZING. Oh and just think of Serkan confronting the fact that he's a father to a little doppleganger of the only women he's ever loved... that's going to SERVE. I am certain we are in for some amazing scenes, there will be romance and sexual tension and that old friction and heart-melting family moments and hilarious nonsense and it's all going to end with them finally finding their way back together and building that life that they always wanted.

Okay but episode 1.19 & kind of 1.20 speculation...

So they’ve started filming episode 20, meaning episode 19 is locked and ready.

Hande & Kerem went live on Instagram earlier from the set where they’re filming episode 20... and Hande was wearing the pajamas we see in the promo for episode 19.

So if we assume episode 20 picks up where episode 19 left off - and she’s in the same pajamas - does that mean that Selin walking in like a wrecking ball isn’t the end of the episode? 🤔

I know scenes aren’t shot in order, but why would she be in the same pajamas during episode 20?

Or is there some simple explanation and I’m just 🤡

[lizacstuff]

Can I just thank you for being such a voice of reason? I feel so bad for people making themselves miserable over a fictional TV drama, so I really appreciate your maturity, especially because you are such a large voice within the SCK Tumblr fandom 🤗

Oh that's so nice! Thank you for the kind sentiment, I'm glad some of what I've written has helped.

When a show goes this big in trying to reinvent itself it's always very jarring for fandom. We're emotionally invested and it's hard to step back and see why they're doing what they're doing and to see that the outcome might not be so bad.

What helps me with this story is that while there is a heartbreaking time jump, we're not going to have to put up with much if any separation on screen. That's the hardest thing for me as a viewer. You would not have wanted to be around me during season 6 of The West Wing (I'm an old fan girl, perspective helps) when Josh and Donna went their separate ways and only had scenes like every third episode. I was a little angry and ranty and key-smashy during that angsty drought, (just ask @counttotwenty) but I learned that is not a fun way to be in fandom. So for me, when I come across a story that is a gut punch, it's always take a deep breath time, and decide if I want to continue or not. If I do want to keep watching, I need to accept what's happening, put it in perspective (it's a TV show, they're fictional) and find a way to enjoy it or, at least, get through it without spreading negative energy to other people.

And the thing is I KNOW there are a lot of awesome shipper things headed towards us. While I may not love the set up, I'm jazzed for what season 2 is actually going to bring. One thing I feel very certain of is that Ayse and the producers know that this show only works when Kerem and Hande are on screen together. So I expect, even from the get go when they've been apart for years, were going to get plenty of them sharing scenes. We're not going to sit through numerous episode of them separated, we're going to bypass those years of pain and potentially only visit that in flashbacks. For me, that helps.

It also helps to know that the only reason they're doing this is to keep the show going so they can keep Hande and Kerem, and their chemistry, together on screen. And to maximize that they must think rebooting it, and trying to recapture the magic of the first 12 when the characters were falling in love, is the key. But rest assured that is why this is happening, no other reason. You read all sorts of nonsense kneejerk irrational negativity on other social media platforms, but I'm here to assure you that this plot has not been designed to "purposely ruin the show" or because "Ayse hates Serkan" or because "they're punishing fans" or "punishing Hanker for confirming." Good grief. Take my advice and mute anyone who says anything nonsense like that, they're either not in their right minds or not mature enough to be in fandom.

So hopefully it helps to know that this show only continues to exist because of the gold they struck with that pairing and because no one wants to let it go. These big story reboots-- that can feel upsetting and traumatizing-- are the price we fans pay for getting to keep them on screen together.

So my advice is to not take the plot too seriously, it's a Turkish Soap Opera for goodness sake, instead hold your nose when it comes to the set up and then enjoy what we are going to get which is a whole lot of meaty material for Hande and Kerem to bite into. They are going to SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY this season. And we are going to get to watch Eda and Serkan fall for one another one more time.

Thoughts on the 2nd fragman? I so badly want to stay positive but having a tough time not giving up on the writing off the show. Like why did the writers decide to take the tactic of having Serkan put all his effort into getting Eda to admit her engagement is fake? He literally could have done so many other things like tell her that he is having flashbacks of her but does not understand them or that he needs some time to sort through his feelings or just have him break off his engagement with Selin. And like what happens if she admits her true feelings at this point? Fingers crossed that the fragman is just misleading and that the Edser scenes are long & meaningful. Also, hoping that Ceran’s scene with Serkan is longer than what we saw in the fragman because the way she described the fake engagement & Eda is awful. And then she does not even tell Eda...Ceren is canceled. Cannot help being hopeful that we will see real progress in the form of both engagements being broken off but at the same time tired of the disappointment lol.

Oh I hear you. There was a lot of good in these fragmans, but taken as a preview for the plot/story they’re not all that... reassuring. It does feel like the same gear we’ve been grinding for several episodes now. 

However, I’ll say this as much for me, as for you. We can’t judge anything from the fragmans. They never give a full picture, and especially these two, I don’t feel like they gave anything away. 

Watching both of them it feels like there has to be a huge piece missing. I realize after the utter failure of the last ep to move anything forward, I’m taking a big leap here, but it feels like something has to give and it may just give in this coming episode. 

So let’s look at the good we can glean from the fragmans:

Selin and Deniz are in panic mode, they know someone is on to them, hopefully it’s Serkan and/or Eda who are on to them, or, if not, this knowledge causes them to get sloppy and make mistakes.

Serkan is finally ready and willing to outwardly show his interest in Eda... to Eda and to Engin. Even if he’s trying to get her to admit it first, this is a huge step forward for him from where he was. 

Thanks to Ceren, (though I agree the way she framed it was super bitchy) Serkan now knows her relationship with Deniz is fake, so even if he’s a putz trying to get her to admit it, this will give him hope that she never gave up on him. I think he needs that because it’s been upsetting him for 2 episodes now that she remembers him and could so easily give up on him and abandon him (like so many others have done in his life). 

We now know that information gave him the desire to kiss her in the restaurant. Whether he does kiss her or it’s his fantasy, he is now cognizant of what he wants. Her. 

Serkan and Eda have the long awaited boxing scene and they look hot as fire in the ring together. Bring it on. 

Eda looks to be beating the sh-t out of Serkan which will give many of us great vicarious joy and hopefully a laugh or two.

While at the gym, Serkan seems to be asking questions in a sincere, not snarky, way and they appear to be having a heart to heart conversation.

Melo continues to be in the running for best friend of the year.

Eda looks absolutely heartbroken in the fragman. This is good because things are always darkest before the dawn. Hopefully, this is her dark moment, and there will be some light by the end of the episode.

The visual of Hande and Kerem Eda and Serkan on the runway will sustain many of us for quite some time. DAMN, THEY LOOK GOOD. 

Some way, some how, Eda Yildiz was able to get Serkan “robot” Bolat to walk with her up there, which means she’s still got it when it comes to him not being able to say no to her. 

The whole cast, including Selin and Deniz, are going to see them up there, walking together, being the super power couple they are. The press will see it too. 

They hug. And she looks very happy when she hugs him.

They transformed that warehouse into a giant party and fashion show, the whole ArtLife cast was there, they hired a bunch of models and extras... so that event is not just some excuse for the leads to get dressed up and look pretty in a montage, whatever happens there must be a big deal and important to the plot. 

The ending is clearly not in either fragman, so there are surprises left with this episode.

So while I also had a lackluster reaction to the fragmans, I think there are some really solid reasons to hold onto hope that this episode will deliver more than we think it will. 

[lizacstuff]

Latest episode of SCK ends with a romantic kiss between Eda & Serkan but then based on the fragman Eda’s fake engagement is still on...🤷🏻‍♀️. So maybe the kiss was Serkan’s imagination and he & Eda just talk at dinner. Or if the kiss is real, he acts unaffected by it so she immediately goes back into her game. Or maybe he is still very unclear on why he kissed Eda & what he wants so she immediately goes back into the game. Or maybe, they resolve everything between them and set a trap for Selin & Deniz? Although a weird reaction from him after the kiss seems out of place based on the fact that he appears to be pursuing Eda now based on the fragman. Him trying to get her to admit the engagement is fake is weird too though because she has maybe it very clear that she only moved on because he decided to move on without even giving her a chance in the first place. Or maybe nothing really makes sense lol

Monobrain! I'm going through this exact thought journey today, lmao.

Here's something I'm trying to factor in, when they shot at that restaurant, they were there for 9 hours, until 5am. I certainly hope they did not keep Kerem and Hande on location until 5am for what we saw in ep 33!  So that sort of indicates there has to be some more scenes coming in 34, right?  So let's do plausible/not-plausible for each theory:

"So maybe the kiss was Serkan’s imagination and he & Eda just talk at dinner."

Plausible

It would explain why they seemingly go right back to the jealousy game after a kiss like that, because it didn't happen.

They could still have scenes where they talk in the restaurant without really working anything out, accounting for how much time they spent there shooting.

It would give us insight into what Serkan is thinking and feeling, which is badly needed.

Not-Plausible

Seriously? Would the writers really cliff-hanger an episode on a fantasy? That is beyond cheap and shouldn't even be contemplated. But with these new “writers,” who knows.

Eda stood there with her arms hanging at her sides, would Serkan really fantasize a kiss where she is not actively... um... participating?

Did I mention it’s cheap? You just can’t bait and switch on audiences like this and retain any credibility.

“Or if the kiss is real, he acts unaffected by it so she immediately goes back into her game. Or maybe he is still very unclear on why he kissed Eda & what he wants so she immediately goes back into the game.“  

Plausible  

Sounds like amnesia Serkan who constantly seems to be going in a circle.

This would allow for them to have more scenes at the restaurant without being able to get past the "game," if they become adversarial right away again.

Throw in Eda slapping him, or reacting badly, and this could very well happen. She slaps, and he retracts. 

 Not-Plausible  

That kind of kiss ought to lead to something! Hard to believe even with a retraction they make no progress at all. And in the fragman it feels like no progress has been made. 

If she slaps him or he's an ass afterwards, it doesn’t feel like there can be much of a scene in that restaurant to account for the 9 hours they spent there. 

I agree that after he marches in there and kisses her, and then is still trying to get the truth from her next time they're at the office, that he's not the one who goes cold.  But I guess it works if she does. Though if she slaps him I question what she’s doing. Like he deserves it, but she’s all standing on her head trying to get to him. This is exactly what she wants, why repel him without first finding out what’s up? 

“Or maybe, they resolve everything between them and set a trap for Selin & Deniz?”

 Plausible    

This could account for the amount of time they spend shooting there. They work out that Selin and Deniz are playing them and maybe we don't see it until flashbacks at the end of the episode when things are revealed.

There are a lot of questions about this episode (Why did Serkan arrange the dinner? What changed between him bickering with Eda and him asking for a dinner to be arranged? Why was he so different and cold with Selin when she showed up at his place prior to dinner, is he already on to her? What did Ceren tell him?) and this sort of story would help explain a lot of those things.

This would bring back smart, two-steps ahead Serkan who has been missing and would allow us to watch Serkan and Eda working together without getting them back together too soon. 

Not-Plausible

The fact that this makes the most sense for the story and the characters and is what I want most, means it's not plausible. 

So... that got us nowhere, but I feel better having laid it all out, lmao.  Thoughts? Hopefully the second fragman will give us a bit more to go on. 

[lizacstuff]

Hey, Liza! Did you see the second fragman? It seems like we are finally going to see flashbacks with Serkan’s POV and omg, the video 😭 breakdown is coming

Hi! I'm answering a couple of days late, but yes I saw the second fragman and I'm so excited!

It very much feels like this is Serkan's episode where we see his journey to accepting fatherhood, so I'm very, very hopeful that this is the episode where they finally show us his POV in the flashbacks.

WE NEED IT.

The line Serkan says to Eda in the fragman, "You're going to listen to me," would seem to indicate that there might be an important conversation coming. Let's hope it's Serkan finally confessing why he broke up with her and pushed her away. We need to find that out and Eda really needs that information.

As for the upcoming breakdown... FINALLY. We've been needing to see a Serkan breakdown for ages. They really cheated us out of one after the amnesia story. I think we were all expecting some intense emotion from him when he remembered and realized what he'd put Eda through, but those writers sucked and didn't understand the characters or the assignment (even a little.)

However, I'm not sure I'm ready, lmao. That 2 second clip in the fragman of Serkan crying while watching the video of Kiraz and Eda had me tearing up when I first saw it. No joke. Eeeeeeeek... those scenes are going to gut me.

[lizacstuff]

Let’s talk about the fragman

Asks about the second fragman for episode 37 under the cut

Anonymous said: So based on the fragmans, I think no one's going to actually tell him about Selin before Eda's off to the airport and I'm already annoyed. Eda doesn't owe Selin anything so I don't understand why she wouldn't bring the issue to Serkan? Eda has the right to tell him "Hey, idk if its true but Selin's claiming to be pregnant with your baby. Thoughts?" SO EASY. Either he squashes it then and there, or god forbid he can't but then he can confront Selin regardless and Eda can make an informed decision

But, but, but if they talked and communicated then we wouldn’t get Serkan running through the airport and I don’t know about you... but that is HOT. Like, really, really HOT. (If Kerem would just cut his hair, Serkan would be at peak hotness right now.) 

Actually, if we have to have angst this is the kind of angst I’m okay with.  Something that can be cleared up, (I’m feeling very good about Serkan knowing he’s not the father because he never touched that lying, abusive manipulator)  but causes a big dramatic, romantic scene. I mean, I’m realistic, I don’t think these writers can deliver the kind of scene we’ve historically had on this show, but maybe if they try their hardest they can get close. Hopefully... and then Hande and Kerem can carry it the rest of the way. 

However, I get where you’re coming from, the characters have seemingly not learned their lesson about talking to one another, but at least this is in character for them. It’s not like it’s character assassination to have them do this. Plus Eda is impulsive, it’s who she is at her core. 

Also I want to cut Eda some slack here. This poor thing has been put through hell. To me it seems as if she is rightly suspicious at first, she and the girls investigate and try and prove that Selin is lying, but she must find proof that Selin is really pregnant. So Eda decides to leave and Serkan doesn’t find out the real reason why until he gets her letter.. and he chases her. 

But from Eda’s perspective, imagine how devastating that would feel? And Selin has been so laser focused on Serkan, Eda’s not even going to consider the possibility that he’s not the father. As she said, she knows what it’s like for a child to grow up without parents, I can understand why she feels like she can’t be the reason. And not talking to Serkan about it is probably a very specific choice. She knows Serkan is going to choose her. Now why she thinks Serkan is going to be with Selin now just for the baby, I don’t know, but she’s heartbroken and not thinking straight. She suddenly feels like the interloper in someone else’s story so can we blame her for feeling like she needs to set her own happiness aside and leave? It’s just another reason why Eda is the purest character on this show. She forgives and she puts others first. 

Let’s just hope this shakes Serkan up enough that he makes sure Selin is kicked out of every aspect of their lives for good. Maybe a restraining order. That woman needs to stay completely away from both Serkan and Eda for the rest of their lives and beyond.  

Anonymous said: so are you team "she's gonna get on the plane and leave/ time jump incoming" or team "she's definitely gonna turn back around cause she ~feels~ something ala ep 29" ? i think i'm in the "she doesn't leave" boat.. there's no concrete reason shown in the trailer she does actually turn around, i just have a feeling.. i do love me a good chase scene though!

I am so beyond annoyed by time jump speculation that I mute anyone on twitter who is championing that theory any time it hits my timeline. BLECK. So I’m firmly on the other team. With my whole heart. 

Hopefully, she decides she can’t leave, or I like the speculation that she feels or senses something when he goes down so she turns around, goes back and finds him. 

Anonymous said: I really hope there isn’t a time jump but everyone on twitter seems to think so :/ do you think they might do one? I feel like they wouldn’t, esp bc they already did one but idk. If they do I hope eda and serkan don’t spend it apart again ugh

I see the twitter speculation has traumatized you too. I don’t see what a time jump does. These two don’t need time apart. They need time together to talk things through, learn to trust one another, and learn to communicate!  What does a time jump accomplish? I can’t think of a single thing. Other than to give a few fans the fantasy of him finding her in some garden she designed. It is NOT worth that.  

Anonymous said: Ever since the plane crash, I've seen people saying that they want Eda to leave Serkan and come back after an X amount of time so they can start over but I feel like that is another lazy writing move. They need to TALK - writing in physical space between them due to yet another misunderstanding/non-communication wouldn't show the growth for Eda that these fans think it would, in my opinion. Writers forgot that moment in 28 when Edser said that they wouldn't misunderstand each other anymore :(

Okay, another one traumatized by that speculation. Solidarity my friends!!!  I agree, it wouldn’t show growth for Eda. At all. Running away is not the answer. Eda may be young, but she knows who she is. She doesn’t need to go find herself. Also Eda and Serkan are 100% completely sure about their love. They don’t need time to figure out they actually love each other. The opposite, they need to learn how to be together, communicate, and not let nonsense get in the way.  

Anonymous said: What do you think the cliffhanger will be?? Serkan falling like we see in the fragman? Or maybe at the hospital cause I’m pretty sure they also filmed there? And do you think we’ll see eda realize he fell (maybe bc of the heart/soulmate connection thing like in 29)? Gosh I’m so excited for saturday I hope we get more ep 11 parallels bc didnt someone see one of the crew members holding the little prince book at the airport

Lets see, best guess... I think there will be a scene or two after Serkan going down, but I don’t think we’ll see Serkan at the hospital in this episode. I would hope we get some indication that Eda is not going to get on the plane. I j’adore the soulmate/heart connection speculation and would LOVE if they used it in some way. 

As for the Little Prince book, it will be interesting to see how that comes in to play.  Perhaps it’s just that Eda has taken it with her as a reminder of their time together and is carrying it on her? We’ll see.  While at the airport they may have filmed a scene or two for the start of ep 38 so it’s possible there is a connection but we won’t see it this week.

Anonymous said: Liza.. That. Fragman!!!!! Whew I had a good feeling the memory loss plot was coming to a close after the 1st fragman revealed they were so close to the wedding day and a new character was announced.. not even mad they spoiled it bc tbh, I needed SOME kinda hope. Based on different translations I'm not sure if the wedding was real yet or not.. and I was wondering what would be the new "thing" for drama in the story.. but edser are back! if it is real, I have hope they're gonna face it together.

EDSER IS BACK!  What do we always say? Fragmans are misleading. And they really chopped up that scene, lots of cuts. So my gut is saying that they want us to think Deniz and Eda marriage is actually legal, but I don’t think that it is. I think it’s a misdirect. 

Because what does Eda and Deniz being married do? Eda will get the Turkish equivalent of an annulment and it’s over. If Deniz did something to trick Eda into a real marriage when she thought it was fake, that will only make her hate him so it’s not like he gets anything out of it. It’s time for this story with Deniz and Selin to be over, so after 6 straight episodes of them having the upper hand over Eda and Serkan, why would the show hand them one last win right as our protagonists are about to triumph over their lies and manipulations?

I saw one translations where the registrar said something like, “awhile ago these two signed a real marriage contract.”  If that’s true, who are these two?  Did Deniz trick Eda into signing a marriage contract awhile ago? Or does this have something to do with Serkan and Eda’s original marriage contract? I have no idea. 

Sadly, With the information we currently have, I assume that is the last scene of the episode and will be a cliffhanger so we may have to live with this question for 10 days, not 3. Hopefully, we’ll have more context after the ep, though.

Anonymous said: Fragman 2 came out I’m so excited!! But idk something is telling me not to get too excited? What if serkan is pretending to remember just to stop the wedding because he fell in love with her again?

I guess my question to you would be, what does it matter? Whether Serkan stopped the wedding because he remembered, or he stopped the wedding because he fell in love with her all over again and said that he remembered because it seemed like the easiest way to make sure she didn’t marry another man, in my mind it’s still all good. He still said I love you, stopped the wedding and is hugging her. I’d say that is plenty to be excited about!!!  

Anonymous said: Or shoot do you think the wedding/remembering might just be eda or serkan’s dream? :(

Oh boy, possibly, but I’m so tired of the speculation that the pivotal moment in every fragman is a dream. I know that the proposal in 25 being a dream eFFed us up, but honestly, it’s no fun to theorize or speculate when you assume everything is not really happening. If it is, so be it, but I’m not gonna spend a ton of energy on that theory.

Anonymous said: The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that the wedding and remembering is serkans dream. The whole point of eda doing a fake wedding is to provoke serkan right? So if he wasn’t even there (he ran in late) why would she be acting it out, about to say yes? And would the writers really spoil the reunion in the fragman?

Okay, I guess I will spend some energy on it. Good point about her going to the point of fake saying yes when he wasn’t there, but in the fragman she says she’ll do anything to get him back. Maybe she was hoping he would come busting in and as long as its fake, does it matter? Here’s my thing, would the production actually spend a full day shooting with the ENTIRE cast at that wedding location for a dream? Seems like a pretty big expense for a dream. Also they showed a bunch of reactions. Engin, Piril, Leyla, Erdem, and Selin’s. Would a dream go into that level of detail? Complete with Engin being exuberant and Piril looking like she sucked on a lemon? Would Serkan dream about that and having a bruise on his face? Maybe, it would certainly clear away all the problems this scene potentially creates, but it’s not the most plausible scenario to me. 

Anonymous said: Maybe the confession is serkans dream, which makes him realize that even though he doesn’t remember, he still loves her so that provokes him to stop the wedding for real, and then the running/car scenes are real and the ep ends with him walking in on the wedding? Bc during the running/car scenes and when it looks like it first walks into the wedding he has a brown jacket but during the confession he doesn’t

Okay... I guess this theory is super popular. Obviously could be. However, check out the reaction shot of Engin at the wedding again, he’s holding Serkan’s coat.  So a lot happens (obviously) that we didn’t see. I guess somehow Serkan comes down the stairs and takes off his coat and hands it to Engin?

Maybe Eda was just trying on dresses when he came in and perhaps there were several? Or maybe she decides not to wear the dress that caused Serkan to look at her like she was the stars and moon combined and say she was beautiful, to fake marry another man?

Episode 34 asks:

Anonymous said: In 34 when Selin takes the pictures to Deniz and they have their argument, did you notice that when Deniz angrily throws the photos/envelope onto the table, one (or two, I can’t remember) photos falls out unnoticed onto the floor? And when Selin takes the envelope back, presumably to dispose of the photos, she doesn’t pick up the one on the floor. Do you think this is significant at all?

I’ve seen this theory, but then I also saw someone point out that when Selin looks at the photos later they are both there. I think that might just be a continuity issue. However, we shall see. Someone has the copies and is texting them to Selin, so it’s not like there’s a shortage of ways for the show to get other eyes on the photos. 

Anonymous said: I agree with you that Eda slapping Serkan after the kiss was a little harsh. When I read the summary for the ep I was expecting him to say something mean, but what he actually said was the best case scenario. Him taking that big of a step in actively WANTING to remember her, especially after the way Ceren worded what she said to him about Eda, was a big deal! And I was like girl, did you not do this exact same thing to him in ep 29 in an effort to make him remember as well? 😂

I agree that his reaction was the best case scenario. She did do that exact same thing. And his reaction was to dazedly wander off and propose to another woman to try and stave off the feels and confusion her kiss wrought. All in all I prefer the slap. 

Personally, I think it was a huge thing that he wanted to kiss her, especially after Ceren’s unbalanced Eda-hate soliloquy at his loft. He didn’t seem to care about Eda being manipulative or selfish, he just seemed jazzed because if true it would mean that she hadn’t been able to move on from their love.
