Turkish series have recently gained more and more popularity among the Russian-speaking population. Beautiful love, attractive actors and an interesting plot, although focused on the younger generation, are loved by women of completely different ages. Today we will look at the series “I named her Ferich” (in Turkish, it was released in my own country), which was translated into Russian and Ukrainian. The series was shot in Turkey and was released in 2011-2012. Most recently, it was repeated again on Ukrainian television channels.
The plot of the film "I called her Ferich"
We will talk about the actors involved in the series later. First, let's dwell on the plot of the picture.
Ferich is a girl from a poor family. Her parents earn by serving in a wealthy family. Since childhood, watching her friend, the daughter of her mother Zehra’s employers, Fericha dreams of succeeding in life. She is diligently engaged in school and after graduation she enters a prestigious university where only the heirs of the wealthy families of Istanbul study. At the same time, her rich but frivolous friend fails her exams.
The father is against her daughter’s studies, but her mother strongly supports her - she is afraid that in the future the girl will repeat her fate, filled with hard work and serving the rich.
At first, a girl at the institute feels uncomfortable and in every possible way hides what comes from a poor family. Soon, one of the most popular handsome men of the university, Emir Sarafoglu, drew attention to her. Ferich responds to him in return, but is constantly afraid that he will find out her secret.
And once this secret is revealed to the guy by her ex-girlfriend.
The whole country watched with bated breath all 125 episodes of the series "I named her Ferich." The actors and roles played by them are still of interest to fans of melodrama.
The name and meaning of the series
The name of the heroine is involved in the name of the film - why? The name of Ferich is of Arabic rather than Turkish origin, and means “joy” and “happiness”. Thus, the mother of the main character wanted to bring happiness to the fate of her daughter. But precisely for this happiness Ferich had to fight fiercely.
Did not go unnoticed in the series "I called her Ferich" acting talent performers. They perfectly understood the positive and negative sides of the characters of their heroes and masterfully showed them on the screen. Each of us, when watching the series, clearly sees the mistakes that each of the heroes made, and we want to believe, learn something from them: pacify our pride, forgive mistakes, trust each other ... That’s what makes the Turkish TV series remarkable - they are realistic and vital.
The heroes of the series (they were played by talented actors) "I called her Ferich," perfectly got used to the role. Forcing the heroine to undergo more and more trials (a difficult relationship with a family in which she is often beaten and completely refused to understand, study, love, which in the end turns into a catastrophe and separation), the scriptwriters achieved an amazing effect. The series has become popular among people of various nationalities, ages and views. True, many viewers noted some inconsistency and incompleteness of the plot.
Disease and abandonment
Alas, in 2012, the directors had to urgently interrupt the shooting and write a new script for the actors of the series "I called her Ferich." Actress Wahide Gördum, who played one of the main roles, refused the role of Fericha's mother because of the disease. During the filming, a woman was diagnosed with breast cancer, the treatment of which could not be combined with work. Wahide at the time of therapy interrupted her acting, and the series decided to urgently close. Perhaps this is precisely what explains a certain “incompleteness” of the plot. A kind of continuation was filmed in the TV series "The Road of the Emir", in which Chagatai Ulusoy also played the main role.
The cast of the series
The overall atmosphere of the film was made, of course, by the entire cast. “I called her Ferich,” or “The Power of Love of Ferich,” - a project in which everyone coped with their images perfectly. Each of them organically got used to the role. But the main characters, of course, achieved special spectator sympathies.
Hazal Kaya as Feriha
The role of Ferihi Yilmaz was played by the popular Turkish actress Hazal Kaya. The girl was born in 1990 in a wealthy family of lawyers, but from childhood she was passionate about art - she was engaged in dancing, violin, ballet. Hazal already then dreamed of becoming an actress, but despite shooting in commercials, she was afraid of the scene. Just getting rid of this phobia, a girl at the age of 16 enrolled in the acting school of the Islay Aghlan Theater. Soon she starred in the series. Since then, the young actress does not feel a lack of offers of cooperation. She does not even bother with health problems - at 22, the young beauty was diagnosed with diabetes, which requires her increased attention to lifestyle and diet. The girl admitted that she took her diagnosis as a sentence and even became depressed, but soon found strength and restored her mental balance.
To date, the 27-year-old actress is not married, but she has been dating actor Ali Atai for a long time. Despite the difference of 14 years and the difficulties in the relationship, which once even led to a breakup, the couple are still together.
Chagatai Ulusoy as Emir Sarafoglu
A tall and attractive young man has long been a favorite of many girls. Chagatay was born in Istanbul in 1990, in his childhood he was fond of sports, especially basketball. By specialty - landscape designer, and by vocation - actor.
Today, he is actively acting in TV shows and works as a model, which is completely unsurprising with his appearance. But the world-famous series brought him fame, “I named her Ferich.” At first, the young man, as the audience noted, played somewhat mediocre, but he soon got used to the image and showed his acting talent, which, of course, he has.
There are rumors in the press that Chagatay leads a wild life and indulges in drugs. Nevertheless, loyal fans (or rather, fans!) Of the actor consider this only evil gossip. The actor himself notes that he prefers a rest at home to loud parties. Chagatay even admitted that he is still embarrassed to kiss a partner in the series in the frame.
Conclusion
If you watched “I called her Ferich” (a series in Russian or with Russian subtitles), you must have loved his characters. Actors continue to star in other melodramatic series, but Ferich and Emir will forever remain in our hearts.
