Fox began airing Kadın (Woman), a Turkish drama and psychological thriller, on October 24, 2017. Co-produced by Medyapım and MF Yapım, it adapts the 2013 Japanese drama Woman, written by Yuji Sakamoto. The series ran three seasons and ended on February 4, 2020, with its 81st episode. It traveled abroad too: in Greece it aired on ANT1 from June 11, 2018, Romania's Happy Channel carried it, and Serbia's Happy TV began showing it on September 17, 2025. Arabic-dubbed versions also aired on regional channels.

The story follows Bahar, abandoned by her mother at eight and later bereaved of her grandmother and father, as she carries the weight and love of her two children alone. Just when she believes she has no one left, she meets Sarp and falls tenderly for him. Özge Özpirinçci plays Bahar, with Caner Cindoruk and Bennu Yıldırımlar (Hatice) among the leads. Ali Semi Sefil (Doruk), Feyyaz Duman (Arif), Birand Tunca (Emir), Kübra Süzgün (Nisan) and Seray Kaya (Şirin) also appear. Beren Saat was first announced for the mother's role before it went to Özpirinçci.

Nadim Güç directed and Hande Altaylı wrote the screenplay. The series is known in Portuguese as Força de Mulher and in Greek as Mia Zoi.

Through different eyes

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

Over three seasons and 81 episodes, Woman makes you carry the weight on Bahar's shoulders, and it owes that largely to Özge Özpirinçci's performance. The story of a mother raising her two children alone grips you in the first season, and the balance Özpirinçci strikes with Caner Cindoruk and Bennu Yıldırımlar is the heart of the show. As the seasons stretch on, though, the story sometimes slides into piling sorrow upon sorrow, and the middle episodes can wear you down. Even so, it's hard to let go of these characters before the 2020 finale.

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

Woman is an adaptation of the Japanese series of the same name, yet it grounds its story close to the local reality of a mother raising children alone. Bahar, abandoned by her mother at eight and later bereaved of her grandmother and father, struggles to carry her two children by herself, which invites reflection on motherhood, loneliness and solidarity. The series is at its strongest when it shows a woman's burden without romanticising it. An abandoned child trying, years later, to hold her ground as a mother also makes you think about the marks families pass from one generation to the next. Spread over three seasons, the storytelling sometimes surrenders social reality to melodrama's molds, but its success abroad shows how universal the theme is.

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

Woman is a very emotional series about a mother fighting for her two children. There is loss, loneliness and psychological tension, which may be too heavy for young kids. It works for teenagers and grandparents watching together, and it can open good conversations about motherhood. But it is a real tearjerker, and that much sadness every evening may not suit everyone.
