Fatih Harbiye

Peyami Safa's 1931 novel comes to the screen in Fatih Harbiye, a Turkish romantic drama. Produced by Koliba Film, it began on August 31, 2013, with the first fifteen episodes on FOX before the show moved to Show TV from episode 16. Across two seasons the story ran for 50 episodes and wrapped up on December 10, 2014. Its English title is "In Between", and Arabic-dubbed versions aired on channels such as Orbit Showtime, Nessma and 2M. The novel was filmed once before, as a 1992 mini-series.

The drama contrasts two sides of Istanbul. Neriman lives with her family in Fatih, a modest and conservative district. She leaves her third year of music studies at university to pursue her dream of becoming a known painter and sculptor, while her childhood friend Şinasi, a fellow student, loves her quietly. Harbiye, by contrast, is the wealthy and Western-minded part of the city, where Macit lives with his mother İnci and his businessman father Kerim, who hopes to marry him to Belin, the daughter of a business partner. When Neriman meets Macit, she is caught between two worlds and two loves. Neslihan Atagül plays Neriman, Kadir Doğulu is Macit and Yunus Emre Yıldırımer is Şinasi, with Itır Esen and Okday Korunan in support.
