ATV aired the first episode of the Turkish television series Kalp Yarası on 28 June 2021. A romantic drama in the melodrama vein, it is made by Süreç Film. Yıldız Hülya Bilban directs, and the scripts are by the trio of Sema Ali Erol, Mahir Erol and Özgül Türküler Akad. The series ran for a single season of roughly eight months and ended with its 32nd episode on 21 February 2022.

The story revolves around two families driven by thoughts of revenge. While a marriage plan is being made between the families of Ferit and Nilgün, everything is turned upside down. Gökhan Alkan plays Ferit and Merve Çağıran plays Nilgün, while Toprak Can Adıgüzel's Ömer is the groom. When his horse falls ill, he has to return to the farm earlier than planned. Ayşe, played by Yağmur Tanrısevsin, is caught in the middle of the quarrel, and a tangled tension laced with jealousy follows.

Gökhan Alkan and Yağmur Tanrısevsin share the leading roles, with Merve Çağıran and Toprak Can Adıgüzel among the other prominent names in the cast. The English title is Heart Wound. The series also reached viewers in Serbia in 2023, where Pink broadcast it from 24 July to 1 December.

Through different eyes

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

Kalp Yarası is a classic melodrama through and through, built around two families weighed down by thoughts of revenge. The marriage plan between Ferit's and Nilgün's families falling apart, with Ayşe caught in the middle, sets up a tension laced with jealousy. The chemistry between leads Gökhan Alkan and Yağmur Tanrısevsin is the show's strongest card. Wrapping up in a single season of 32 episodes is actually an advantage, since the story is not stretched out forever. Still, as the genre tends to, grudges and misunderstandings sometimes take over, and some weeks the pace can sag. Satisfying for melodrama fans, occasionally tiring for impatient viewers.

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

Kalp Yarası is a romance and drama series of the kind families watch together in the evening. Revenge and jealousy between families are at the heart of the story, so younger children may find it heavy or boring. Teenagers and adults, especially those who like love stories, will enjoy it. Since it ends after one season, it is easy to follow to the end. A good pick for grown-ups who like emotional series.

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

Watching Kalp Yarası, one cannot help recalling Yeşilçam's great melodramas of family feuds and revenge. Jealousy, resentment, a young woman caught between two quarrelling families: this is the oldest and best-loved vein of our cinema. I like that the series stays true to that tradition, but when what the old films told in an hour and a half is spread over thirty-two episodes, the subtlety of feeling sometimes gets lost and tension alone takes the place of tears. Still, viewers who look for strong acting may find what they want in the chemistry of the leading pair.
