Would This Heart Forget You? (Bu Kalp Seni Unutur Mu?) (translated)

TV Series · 2009–2010 · 24 people

Bu Kalp Seni Unutur mu? (Will This Heart Forget You?) is a political drama that aired on Show TV from October 13, 2009, to February 9, 2010. Tomris Giritlioğlu produced it and designed the project; the companies are Sis Yapım and Asis Yapım, the director is Aydın Bulut and the screenwriter Nilgün Öneş. Its advisory team included Yasin Aktay, Murat Belge, Fehmi Koru, Ertuğrul Kürkçü and Tuğrul Eryılmaz. The series planned to cover the period from the September 12, 1980, coup to the AK Party's coming to power in 2002, but it was taken off the air after episode 17 because of financial problems and unpaid actors' fees.

Made after strong requests for a follow-up to Hatırla Sevgili, it continues that series; only the characters Tufan, Metin and Galip carried over, and the others were newly written. In preparation many books were read and people who had been held in Diyarbakır Prison were interviewed. Episodes open with real footage of the coup era, and Cemile (Melis Birkan) tells the events to a psychologist.

Bülent İnal plays Sinan Şahin. Berrak Tüzünataç plays Yıldız, Tuba Ünsal plays Gülümsün Koray, Saygın Soysal plays Kürşad and Tuğçe Kumral plays Elif. Okan Yalabık joined the cast as Kerim, with Tansel Öngel as Yalçın Gürcan, Hale Soygazi as Semiha and Salih Güney as Haldun. The opening song is Fikret Kızılok's piece of the same title. The series won "Television Series of the Year" at the 2009 Media Oscar Awards.

Through different eyes

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Bu Kalp Seni Unutur mu? is a political drama that planned to tell a period running from the September 12, 1980, coup to 2002. In preparation many books were read and people held in Diyarbakır Prison were interviewed, which shows the series wanted to build a frame based on testimony. Episodes opening with real footage of the period add a documentary weight. Its multi-layered advisory team shows an effort to bring different viewpoints together. But its removal from the air after 17 episodes meant the story never reached the planned period.

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

The series was designed as a continuation of Hatırla Sevgili; only the characters Tufan, Metin and Galip carried over, the others were newly written. It is an uneasy balance between a sequel and an independent structure. Cemile telling events to a psychologist works as a frame narrative, but such a frame struggles to keep heavy historical material under control. Aydın Bulut's direction and Nilgün Öneş's script are ambitious; being left unfinished after 17 episodes breaks the narrative wholeness. Episodes opening with real archive footage are a good idea.

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

A project designed by Tomris Giritlioğlu, it began with a wide cast: names like Melis Birkan, Bülent İnal, Berrak Tüzünataç, Tuba Ünsal and Okan Yalabık. In terms of character development, 17 episodes is far too short to tell a period of decades; its removal from the air over unpaid fees and financial problems left the story half done. Viewers who bond with the characters over a season never see their future, which is a major shortfall. Ambitious start, incomplete ending.
