I love Erkenci Kus, I do, but…
I have some problems with it.
Since it’s like 4 issues I’m going to start with the least important ones for me until the one problem that prompted me to write this.
How easily manipulated Emre is
Emre makes me so so so angry sometimes! He’s a freaking puppet in Aylin’s hands and he know this but he’s not doing much about it. In the beginning it was even worse so he learned a bit but not enough.
The entire presence of Aylin is a problem for me. I love the actress, like I’m in love with her, she’s so beautiful but her character is just the most vile, awful person in the world and I just wish that she would just go away. Also, I still don’t understand what’s her problem with Can and Sanem. I mean, Can wasn’t even against Aylin and Emre being together until she just ruined it by taking away Can’s life (photography) and his work, and Sanem hasn’t really done anything to her.
At the beginning it was kind of funny to watch but now I’m really tired of it. I don’t like jealousy in general so having all those scenes where Sanem or Can have to keep an eye on the other person makes me want to punch something
The work ethic (or lack of it)
This is literally the one thing that makes me the most angry in this show!
Maybe my problem is that I’m applying my own work ethic to this but I really can’t with Sanem (especially, but sometimes also other people) and her complete disregard of work. This all came out mainly from the last episode, when Sanem gets a promotion but doesn’t actually work, instead tells Ceycey to cover for her and follows Can (who, btw, is happy of this and that’s a problem on its own). My work ethic is: when you are working, nothing else exists, you are being paid to do something so you do it, as well as you can. Nothing else should enter the work environment, so, if you have problems outside of work, those problems stay out, if you have problems in the work environment, unless it’s something work related that problem stays out too. The only things that could disrupt you from work is if someone is sick, or dying, or in danger and you need to leave. If your problem is the fact that the boss/your boyfriend goes somewhere without telling you, that’s not something you can be excused for.
For the work stuff, I stand with Deren, wholeheartedly. She may say what she says because of her jealousy, because she’s in love with Can, but she also has a point. And if I were working there, I would think too, like the other colligues, that she got the promotion just because she’s with the boss.
Let’s admit this, Sanem hardly works. She definitely worked sometimes, and when she was working she was good at it, but she also made a lot of mess, she disappears a lot, she made a huge mistake with a project she was coordinating so I don’t think she actually deserved the promotion. She did deserve at least a raise because with the presentation she did an excellent job, facing a problem that was unexpected and getting out of it like a winner, but a promotion, in my opinion, is a bit too much.
And Can, also, has a work ethic that sometimes is awful and makes me stand with Emre (which is a huge red flag, if you stand with the bad guy). In the last episode, he should have been a bit happy if Sanem was inside (supposedly working) because it means that the business he’s the boss’ of is not going bad, but no, he pulls her away and they go to have their fun while they should be working to make the business (who had major problems in the last weeks) thriving. Then he comes back because of Seyda (I’m not sure if this is the way you spell her name) who managed to arrange a dinner with some big guy just for him and he has the guts to say that he can’t because he has other things to do (date with Sanem)? Like, that was made specifically for him, at his request, with someone who is influential (I think) and also very busy, someone that freed his time just for you, and you refuse? If I were Emre, and I found out that his important thing was a date with Sanem, I would have told him to just leave the company, since he clearly doesn’t want to work, and just wants to be with Sanem. At this point it is better to have Emre be the boss, since Can doesn’t seem to care enough about his father’s company. I really don’t want Emre to be the boss, but at least he wants to work, not like Can.
This is a really long rant, but it makes me so mad! If I had friends that watched this show or other Turkish tv shows I would have made like a 20 minutes Wattsapp audio about it, but sadly they miss out on such great shows so I can only rant on here. If you reached this point props to you, I love you, and I’m sorry that you had to survive this long ass text
