TV Series · 2001–2008 · 11 people

Yağmur Ajans produced the Turkish comedy series Aşkım Aşkım. Its first episodes aired on Kanal D in October 2001, and after roughly six years it came back with new episodes on Kanal 1 in 2007-2008. Across two seasons, episodes 1 to 25 were shown on Kanal D and episodes 26 to 50 on Kanal 1. The series won the Golden Butterfly Award for Best TV Series.

The story revolves around Zümrüt and Şener, a middle-aged couple who run a restaurant and live in the apartment above it. Şener keeps indulging his wandering eye, yet his wife Zümrüt loves him and does not waver. In the kitchen, a friendly rivalry between the Japanese chef Makiko and the restaurant's newly hired chef Hadise supplies more of the comedy. Emel Sayın, Mehmet Ali Erbil and Doğa Rutkay headed the cast, with Engin Günaydın and Ayumi Takano also appearing.

A few things changed between the two runs. Filiz Kaynak directed the first batch, while Nursan Esenboğa directed the episodes shot in 2008. The role of Necati, played by Barış Aksavaş at first, went to Durul Bazan in the later episodes. Tarık Usta was absent from the new episodes, and Hadise took his place in the restaurant.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

A restaurant, a married couple living upstairs and a friendly rivalry in the kitchen: Aşkım Aşkım has the warmth of the old neighborhood comedies. Seeing Emel Sayın in a comedy is a treat in itself for those who have loved her for years. Zümrüt's unwavering love for her husband gives the story a sincere center, too. But turning Şener's philandering into a source of laughs looks rather dated to me now; laughing at infidelity stings a little, even in a good-natured comedy.

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

Aşkım Aşkım is a family comedy set in a restaurant. The rivalry between the cooks in the kitchen can make the children laugh too. It won the Golden Butterfly for Best TV Series, so it's an award-winner. But one of its main sources of humor is Şener's womanising, which may prompt questions if small children are watching. For teenagers and grown-ups, it's an easy choice.

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

Aşkım Aşkım had an unusual journey: it started on Kanal D and came back with new episodes on Kanal 1 roughly six years later. Along the way the director changed, the role of Necati passed to another actor, and Hadise took Tarık Usta's place in the restaurant. Watch both runs back to back and you'll definitely feel those changes; returning to a familiar place and finding some faces missing is a little strange. But the core trio of Emel Sayın, Mehmet Ali Erbil and Doğa Rutkay, along with the kitchen scenes featuring Makiko, helps the show keep its spirit.
