magificent century: koesem would be far better if mustafa actually was 12 as he was historically. This would make far better base for the rest of the show tbh
To add to this? The more I learned about the actual history, really wanted to see the show start not with him taking the throne as an adult, but (like shown with Murad IV) relieving his mother of regency. His character becomes so differently written for me if you acknowledge he took the throne at 13 initially.
would make more sense, both historically and artistically. the tension between the brothers would be far more realistic too.
It was all in all a bad decision to make him like, 5.
