TV Series · 2015 · 15 people

Medyapım produced Acil Aşk Aranıyor (Urgent Love Wanted), a Turkish series mixing romance and romantic comedy. Aired on Show TV in 2015, its run stretched from March 15 to November 25, 2015, and ended after a single season of 24 episodes. Serhat Teoman and Duygu Yetiş share the lead roles.

The story begins when Nisan (Duygu Yetiş), a young doctor who has moved to Istanbul, has no idea that Sinan (Serhat Teoman), the colleague she is about to work with, lives in her building. Events rest entirely on coincidence: in the first episode Nisan lands Sinan in one mess after another, and at the end of the episode the two learn they work at the same hospital. Nisan can be unbearable at times, yet Sinan sees the good in her, and the friction between them turns first into friendship and then into love.

The production's life on screen is also notable. The series first went on air as Acil Servis but, failing to deliver in the ratings, left the screen after its second episode. It was then reformatted completely and relaunched on Show TV as Acil Aşk Aranıyor, ending with its 24th episode. An episode runs about 120 minutes.

Cast

Through different eyes

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

The on-screen saga of Acil Aşk Aranıyor may be more interesting than the show itself: launched as Acil Servis and pulled after its second episode for poor ratings, it was completely reworked and returned as a romantic comedy. In the version that emerged, events rest almost entirely on coincidence; two doctors who live in the same building and turn out to work at the same hospital is one of the genre's best-known plot conveniences. Episodes of about 120 minutes stretch that thin structure far too much. The chemistry between Serhat Teoman and Duygu Yetiş often carries more than the script does, but overall it is work that never gets past formula.

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

Two doctors who discover they live in the same building and, on top of that, will work at the same hospital: a classic opening, but it works. Nisan can be genuinely unbearable at times, yet Sinan seeing the good in her gives the relationship warmth. The road from friction to friendship to love spreads over 24 episodes and closes in a single season, which is a good thing. The weak point is running time: with episodes close to two hours, the story sometimes seems to dawdle. If you want a light romcom, take it in small doses.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

A light romantic comedy about two young doctors working at a hospital. As the genre suggests, the focus is on love and banter. Teenagers and adults can watch it comfortably; little ones may quickly tire of the romantic talk. Episodes run about two hours, which can feel long on a weeknight. A sweet choice for a family that wants to laugh together.
