Veda Mektubu
2023as Ziya
Veda Mektubu is a Turkish family drama about old love, generational conflict, and the emotional consequences of choices made years earlier. Alanur, a modern and strong businesswoman, once shared a great love with Ziya, a traditional businessman from Antakya. Family opposition separated them and pushed both into different lives. Years later, their paths cross again when Alanur’s daughter Aslı and Ziya’s son Mehmet fall in love. What begins as a new romance between two young people reopens the wounds of a love story left unfinished. As past regrets and family expectations collide, Veda Mektubu explores whether the children can escape the pain their parents could not overcome.

Destan
2021as Alpagu
Destan (The Warrior Princess) is an epic historical Turkish drama set during the legendary era of the Gokturk Khaganate in Central Asia. The story follows Akkız, a fearless warrior orphaned after her father is killed by the powerful ruler Korkut Khan. Growing up among harsh mountains and endless steppes, Akkız becomes a symbol of strength, freedom, and revenge. Her destiny changes when she meets Batuga, the neglected and misunderstood prince of the Gok Palace. Together, they face betrayal, war, political conspiracies, and forbidden love while struggling to unite their people against tyranny. Filled with breathtaking battles, powerful emotions, and ancient Turkic legends, Destan combines romance, action, and historical fantasy in an unforgettable adventure.

Zumruduanka
2020as Abbas Demirkan
Zümrüt’s world ends the day her boyfriend Serhat is declared dead. Trapped by rigid family codes, she is forced into a marriage with his uncle — a decision that plunges her into a gilded cage where every smile hides a knife. Rising from the ashes will demand a strength she never knew she possessed.

Aglama Anne
2018as Ali Osman
Alev’s life takes a devastating turn when a single night of violence leaves her pregnant with a child she never wanted. Caught in a vortex of trauma, shame, and the harsh judgment of those around her, she initially resolves to end the pregnancy and bury the memory forever. But the young people in her orbit — friends, a protective stranger, and those who know the truth about that night — refuse to let her face the darkness alone. As the identity of the man responsible surfaces, the story shifts from one of silent suffering to a collective demand for accountability. Alev must navigate a society that would rather blame her than confront the predator in its midst, while the child growing inside her becomes both a symbol of her deepest pain and, unexpectedly, a reason to fight. This raw drama explores the collision of guilt, motherhood, and the courage required to say “no more” when the world tells you to stay silent.

Coban Yildizi
2017as Acting
Zühre is a young woman whose beauty has become her curse. Sold by her own father to Fikret Karakaya, a wealthy and terrifyingly powerful older man who collects beautiful things like trophies, she is trapped in a marriage that is nothing more than legalised captivity. In a remote mansion far from anyone who might help, she endures a life of silent torture, her spirit slowly crushed under the weight of a man who believes his money buys him ownership over her body and soul. The only witness to her suffering is Seyit, a young man from an honourable family who lives nearby and finds himself drawn into Zühre’s nightmare against all reason. Helpless to intervene without bringing destruction on both their houses, Seyit must navigate a world where honour, tradition, and violence are braided together so tightly that one wrong move could cost both their lives. This sweeping drama set against Turkey’s rugged interior is a story of forbidden compassion, the slow burn of a love that dare not speak its name, and a woman’s desperate fight to own her own destiny.

Muhtesem Yuzyil

Muhtesem Yuzyil is an iconic Turkish historical drama about power, ambition, love, and the rise of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent.

But the palace is also a battlefield of desire, rivalry, and political intrigue. As love, loyalty, and ambition shape the dynasty, Muhtesem Yuzyil presents a lavish portrait of an empire at its peak and the human passions behind history.
