Love is in the Air (Yer Gök Aşk)

TV Series · 2010–2013 · 20 people

Avşar Film's Turkish drama series Yer Gök Aşk (Love Is in the Air) began on FOX on August 9, 2010. It ran for three seasons and ended with its 122nd episode on May 27, 2013. It also reached viewers abroad: in Serbia, under the title Ljubav, vera, nada, it was shown on Prva from 2014 to 2016.

The story is set in Ürgüp, the historic town in Cappadocia, and is built around two sisters who love the same man. Toprak's life is full of sorrow, while her sister Havva is proud and ambitious. Toprak, who has lost her baby, is hired as the wet nurse of the motherless son of the region's wealthy Yusuf Hancıoğlu; Yusuf is drawn to her, but also to her scheming sister. Burak Hakkı, Melisa Aslı Pamuk and Tuvana Türkay are billed in the lead, alongside Birce Akalay and Murat Ünalmış.

The third season reshaped the cast. Murat Ünalmış left to star in another series, Birce Akalay left after a few episodes, and new characters arrived with Melisa Aslı Pamuk and Burak Hakkı. The romance between Akalay and Ünalmış that began on set ended in marriage. Selen Soyder moved with her character to the same company's Lale Devri, remembered as a first in Turkish TV history.

Through different eyes

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

Yer Gök Aşk is a long-runner in every sense, spending three seasons and 122 episodes on two sisters who love the same man. The early seasons pull you in thanks to the contrast between Toprak's sorrowful life and Havva's pride and calculation, and Birce Akalay and Murat Ünalmış contribute a lot. But the cast changes in the third season may be a breaking point for many viewers: familiar faces leave, new characters arrive and the show turns into a somewhat different story. Enjoying the early seasons and approaching the third with caution is a sensible plan.

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

Yer Gök Aşk's most interesting feature is its setting: Ürgüp, the historic town in Cappadocia. The story begins when a woman who has lost her baby is hired as wet nurse to the motherless son of the region's richest man, which brings a traditional relationship like wet-nursing, and the class gap that comes with it, into view. The attraction between the wealthy Yusuf Hancıoğlu and a woman working in his household offers a glimpse of how power, money and reputation operate in the provinces. The series handles this through melodrama rather than sociological depth; still, it is valuable to see an Anatolian town, far from the big city, at the center of the screen.

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

Two sisters, one man, a sorrowful fate and a scheming sibling... Yer Gök Aşk's story seems kneaded from the same dough as Yeşilçam's beloved melodramas. Havva's pride and ambition set against Toprak's sorrowful life recall the good-sister, bad-sister contrast of those old films. Cappadocia's unique landscape provides a poetic backdrop, too. But a 122-episode television series cannot carry the intensity and economy of those classic films; the more the sorrows and schemes drag on, the more they lose their power.
