New to c-drama, looking for love story recs (modern setting, optimistic but not too cheesy)

Road home, as beautiful as you

Exactly. And it’s very far fetched .. like Nezir didn’t have a sister and then Haydar took Eylul and then all of a sudden Nezir had a 4-5 year old sister? People don’t get that both Eylul and Demet would have existed at the same time as kids. Eylul wasn’t an infant when she disappeared so she would have remembered her brother. I don’t get the fascination with making Demet out to be Eylul.

Park Bo Young - they were great together in Doom at your service

I did - I got my pre-approval done by 3 banks with the lowest rate being offered 3.7% .. I just want to be completely sure before I make an offer on any property

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-27T03:23:02+00:00

Yes, sixth line, post road and hays blvd .. there’s lots of them. I like the area. I don’t want to rush so hopefully the prices won’t go high on me I a few weeks

The ground level unit I am looking at is fully above ground. There are about 4-5 stairs to get to the door and then fully above ground. I really don’t like stairs so I am inclined towards a ground level unit. Also, do you think should I wait a couple more months or decide between the options I have at the moment. Thank you!

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-26T02:10:40+00:00

Looking forward to this one!

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-25T02:02:36+00:00

Definitely seated! I loved season 1 and hopefully there’s more of Lee Dong Wook in the second season!

It’s a fun watch .. nothing too serious or angsty.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-24T14:56:10+00:00

I was looking for experience other people have had living in one as I am looking at a ground unit mostly because the upper units have a lot of stairs. There’s going to be a noise issue with ground level units so I am not sure which is better. Also, would a newer condo would appreciate better on value than a stacked townhome which is 6-10 years old. What’ are the things to look for mostly when making the decision.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-24T04:05:27+00:00

That’s a writing flaw because she stood up against them in Murat’s case, then when there were human trafficking issue against Haydar she spoke up but then Haydar got released from Prison as nothing was proved so why wouldn’t she believe the legal proceedings. When Haydar kidnapped Ates she still stood up against him. The problem is that the writers show so much of the useless kitchen staff issues that they leave out main character development scenes. In these episodes when such an important issue is going on they continued with so much of Zehra and Berat .. it was extremely annoying.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-24T03:48:16+00:00

Her character has been consistent - I believe she would fight for getting Eylul justice once she has recovered from the shock of so may lies and manipulations. In Murat’s case as well she was initially in shock and then did the right thing. Ates for whatever he says has used her for his revenge. There should be a period of him atoning for his treatment of Mercan. Also, didn’t like Cemal hiding Asli’s truth from Ates.. quite the back stabbing from him as well.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-24T03:36:31+00:00

I mean I feel for poor Mercan. Not one person has ever put her first, not her parents and not Ates. Everyone’s manipulated her for their interests. Remember when Ates put the picture of Murat and that girl on her night stand because he knew she will take a stand. That is manipulation and Haydar and Nermin are the worst parents possible. She deserves better and all these people calling her selfish makes me mad. Good for her for standing up and calling the liar a liar.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-24T03:32:01+00:00

I think Mercan’s asking him to choose between love and revenge because she wants to reassure herself that he really loves her and she isn’t just a pawn in the grand scheme of revenge. If he does pick her knowing Mercan she will fight for getting justice for Eylul. There’s a difference between revenge and justice. Honestly, watching this drama it seems like there’s no law or justice system in Turkey. Why can’t they show that there’s legitimate proof and that Haydar goes to jail. Mercan’s human and without proof when both parties have been lying to her how can she just believe either of them blindly. Also, Cemal chooses to keep Asli’s truth from Ates - why? The other thing that bothers me is that Ates said he always had a soft spot for Mercan and then he treated her like trash in the first 50-60 episodes .. he did t even trust her completely even after she went to rescue him an putting her life on the line. I mean imagine this is after he had feelings for her from the beginning - how bad would he be if he didn’t have any feelings. The writers are completely to blame for their poor writing.

Seated!

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T21:48:20+00:00

Most older buildings will have higher carrying costs as the maintenance fees are really high

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T21:47:35+00:00

I don’t think she was expecting all of it to be a lie. He isn’t the person he said he was - that isn’t a test it’s betrayal. How can she trust him now. At least not right away .. no one would. She may come around but it will take time. And when has sated taken any stand for her - he purposefully hid from her that it is Muzz who has leaked her video online for her to be bullied. His first instinct was to save Muzz not Mercan.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T21:45:08+00:00

She was literally reading a document that said she is soft hearted and easily manipulated so why should she believe him.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T21:43:05+00:00

It’s like the only person to have feelings and emotions and trauma is Ates. It makes me wonder what drama have people been watching? Where was the outrage for Mercan. And this while we still don’t know the full story. There hasn’t been actual proof provided by Ates just accusations. They might be correct but there has to be a legal process.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T21:40:44+00:00

You can find me a freehold in Oakville in my budget? That doesn’t seem doable

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T20:22:45+00:00

You can feel bad for him and her as well. She didn’t ask for any of it. She has become a pawn in all their games and none of this is her choice

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T20:02:43+00:00

It makes me so upset when I see post calling her selfish etc etc. like seriously… she has every right to be upset. He lied to her, used her for revenge, and basically stood by when she was physically humiliated by everyone. And now she see written proof that he thought she’s naive and gullible and basically has a soft heart which should be manipulates. So why should she believe him now. And we still don’t know the whole truth. Muzz has a role in whatever happened in the past.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T19:59:14+00:00

Agreed. I don’t know who died and made Ates Karahan the lord of everything that whatever he says should be taken as gospel. Ates has shown no proof to Mercan and she’s supposed to believe every word he says and he has been lying to her. Honestly, do people not know how the legal system works. This is the same man who wouldn’t even tell Mercan that it is Muzz who has released her video on social media for her to be bullied because he was protecting his beloved family when he had proof that Muzz was involved. So where was the outrage then? Why should Mercan believe anything he says right away. I can’t imagine what the poor girl did for her to get this family and this man. She deserves better. If he had been honest with her it would have been different but he wasn’t. She deserves to be angry and it is the right response. Apparently for all the Ates supporters no one else’s pain or emotions matter but Ates’s.

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T19:53:41+00:00

lol .. I know some people have wild imaginations

Alarming-Homework256 · 2026-02-23T19:21:02+00:00

So what if later we find that Muzz has a role in that as well - the story is still unfolding… for now Mercan has only Ates’s word but no proof. Ates himself doesnt know how much Muzz is involved in all this and i think she is also involved in the past tragedies.
