The first season of Yarım Kalan Aşklar opens a Turkish series released on BluTV. Combining drama, crime, detective fiction and romance, the season runs for eight episodes, from 10 September 2020 to 29 October 2020. Its starting point is a second chance that comes after death, and one man's search for the truth about how he died.

The story revolves around Ozan, a journalist who takes his work seriously. He has loved his colleague Elif for a long time but has never found the courage to say so. At last he realises he can wait no longer and decides to propose. Right then he is caught in a car crash and dies of his injuries, yet the crash was no coincidence: it was staged specially for him. Ozan is given the chance to live again, his soul moving into a completely different body while his memories stay intact. Once he learns what really happened, he refuses to let events take their course and sets out to find the attacker and see that the person pays for it.

The cast includes Burak Deniz, Dilan Çiçek Deniz, Cem Davran, Ezel Akay, Esra Ruşan, Nazlı Bulum, Başak Gümülcinelioğlu and Cihat Süvarioğlu.

Through different eyes

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

At eight episodes, this first season is a relief for anyone used to marathon network series: the story has room to move without being stretched. A journalist whose soul passes into a completely different body after his death, and who sets out to investigate that death, tries to melt romance and crime suspense in the same pot. With Burak Deniz, Dilan Çiçek Deniz, Cem Davran and Ezel Akay, the cast makes a strong shop window. The body-swap idea is tempting at first, but whether it convinces depends on how willing you are to play along. The kind of season you can finish in a weekend.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

It starts fast: a man about to propose dies in a crash staged just for him, comes back in another body and hunts for whoever killed him. The revenge engine is strong, and eight episodes is the right length to keep the pace from dropping. But the show commits not only to suspense but to romance too, and when the love story takes over, my patience may wear thin. A good pick for fans of mysteries and pursuit.

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

The first season of Yarım Kalan Aşklar is an ambitious blend that tries to fold drama, crime, detective fiction and romance into a single premise. A dead man returning in another body with his memories intact offers an intriguing narrative opportunity about identity and point of view: viewers must follow a character they know inside an unfamiliar body. A premise like this only works when editing and performance keep that double identity alive at all times; otherwise the idea stays a gimmick. The eight-episode structure gives a frame tight enough to stop it sprawling. Even so, trying to satisfy four genres at once risks blurring the tone in places, and the romantic thread and the revenge hunt may not always speak the same language.
