Başak Parlak — Biography

The Turkish actress and model Başak Parlak is best remembered for Pelin and Esin Uçar in the Şevkat Yerimdar franchise. She carried the story through the 2013 film, its 2016 sequel and the series that aired on FOX in 2017-2018. More recently she has been seen in the film Mutluyuz Mu? and the series Gustav Maier'in Tuhaf Hikayesi.

Born in Tekirdağ to a family that had emigrated from Bulgaria and Greece, she studied international relations at Maltepe University. She first appeared on camera in the early 2000s and worked her way up through supporting parts in Büyük Buluşma, Acı Hayat, Emret Komutanım and Doktorlar. Fikrimin İnce Gülü in 2007 and then Serçe, where she took the lead in 2008, made her name. She was in the main cast of the period series Yamak Ahmet, and Sırat, Sevdam Alabora and Bir Deniz Hikayesi filled out these years.

On the big screen she played female leads in films such as Neva and Bana Adını Sor; Bülent İşbilen's Şevkat Yerimdar proved popular enough to earn a sequel. She played Seda in Show TV's Kış Güneşi, which ended at its 18th episode because of low ratings.

Their work through different eyes

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

The Şevkat Yerimdar series is a good way into Başak Parlak: in this 44-episode romantic comedy that aired on FOX in 2017-2018 she plays Esin Uçar, sharing the leading roles with Özgürcan Çevik. Its story is independent of the earlier films, so you can start without them.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Başak Parlak's most visible work leans heavily on one comic formula. As Pelin, Pelin Hünerli and Esin Uçar, Şevkat Yerimdar returns as a film, a sequel and a series, and each time it stays in the same neighborhood romantic-comedy line. In a more dramatic production like Kış Güneşi she was in the cast behind the three leads, in a series that ended after 18 episodes. In my view the work outside that single franchise is where this career is tested.
