Ay Yapım produced Bana Sevmeyi Anlat, a Turkish drama and romance series that premiered on FOX on August 26, 2016. Abroad it was shown as Wings of Love. The series lasted one season and ended because of low ratings, with its 22nd episode on January 30, 2017.

The story begins when Leyla (Seda Bakan), a young mother whose baby is her only family despite the crowd around her, and Alper (Kadir Doğulu), betrayed by those he thought were friends and lovers, meet in a moment of escape. The turning point of both lives is Haşmet (Mustafa Üstündağ).

Through different eyes

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

Bana Sevmeyi Anlat is a short but intense romantic drama, a single season of 22 episodes. The chemistry between Seda Bakan and Kadir Doğulu is the real fuel; both play characters marked by loneliness and betrayal, and that shared wound makes the love story believable. Mustafa Üstündağ's Haşmet, the turning point of the story, is a strong counterweight. It is a pity it ended early because of low ratings; some supporting characters seem to reach the end of the road before they have really developed. Still, a good pick if you want a romance you can finish in a few weeks.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

When Haşmet's dark side comes out and Leyla has to run, the series suddenly turns into an escape thriller, and that is the stretch that really hooks you. Overall, though, this is a romantic drama, and the emotional scenes keep slowing the pace. There is a sense of danger, but it stays in the shadow of the love story. Watch it for the romance, not the tension.

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

A young mother whose baby is her only family, a man betrayed by his friends, and a dark husband casting a shadow over both their lives: the set-up of Bana Sevmeyi Anlat leans on the familiar but well-loved skeleton of Yeşilçam melodrama. Leyla's hard choice for her son's future recalls the self-sacrificing mothers of the old films, and Seda Bakan carries that fragility sincerely. The story, though, is stretched more by today's series habits than told with the plainness of the old masters, so in a way it is just as well it fitted into one season.
