Comedy and romance come together in Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk (North Star First Love), a Turkish television series from Süreç Film. Its first episode aired on Show TV on September 14, 2019, and it ended after two seasons with its 64th episode on May 15, 2021. Ersoy Güler directed and wrote it, and İsmail Demirci, as Kuzey Mollaoğlu, shares the lead with Aslıhan Güner.

The story begins in a village where Yıldız has loved Kuzey for as long as she can remember; the two families are friends and the young pair are engaged. When Kuzey goes to Istanbul to study, he forgets his promises and falls for another woman, and the village, his own family included, turns its back on him. He marries her and has three daughters, but twenty years later it is his turn to be abandoned, and he returns home with the three girls. Yıldız has sworn to send him back where he came from. With a comic touch, the series plays out the contest between Kuzey, who wants forgiveness, and Yıldız, who refuses it.

Gizem Güneş plays Feride Mollaoğlu, Berfin Nilsu Aktaş is Gökçe, Ecem Çalhan is Kamer and Yasemin Hadivent is Fadime, with Merve Şen also in the cast. A Persian-dubbed version ran on Gem TV in 236 episodes.

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

Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk is a village comedy that tries to carry the same feud across two seasons and 64 episodes. The set-up is a lot of fun: Kuzey returns to his village twenty years later with his three daughters, and Yıldız has sworn to send him back where he came from. The sparring between leads İsmail Demirci and Aslıhan Güner is the show's engine. But keeping the will-she-won't-she-forgive question alive for that long is no easy feat, and in a long-season format some episodes can feel like they are going round in circles. Still a warm pick for anyone after a light evening series.

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

A family series set in a village, where even the quarrels make you laugh. Kuzey's return with his three daughters and his feud with Yıldız are told with humor. Grandparents will like the village life and neighborly ties, and children will find things to laugh at too. There are themes like being abandoned and shunned, but they are handled with humor; little ones may still ask a few questions. One to watch all together after dinner.

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

A village where everyone knows everyone, promises made, engagements forgotten and broken hearts: Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk brings the familiar material of Yeşilçam's beloved village comedies to television. The feud between a man who comes back after twenty years seeking forgiveness and a woman with no intention of granting it recalls the sweet stubborn standoffs of the old films. Still, treating something as hurtful as a long-awaited promise being broken always through humor sometimes lightens the depth of that wound. A pleasant companion for anyone looking for a story that tells matters of the heart with a smile.
