Oktay Kaynarca fans were shocked in September last year when the bandit series, which lasted for 6 seasons, was abruptly canceled. However, after 1 year, the famous actor made a great comeback with the series Ben Bu Cihana Sığmazam (I Can’t fit in this World), where he is both the lead actor and the producer.
In the series Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz (The Bandits), there was a situation that Oktay Kaynarca also criticized and disturbed many viewers. The infertility experienced in the scenario about the actresses and female character was attracting everyone’s attention. In fact, Oktay Kaynarca talked about the lack of female actors in an interview and said that new female characters were needed.
The famous actress took steps to prevent this problem from being re-voiced in her new series. Oktay Kaynarca’s efforts to have very important female actors in a very influential position in the story and to remove them from the perception of a men’s drama also reflected very positively on the ratings.
The four strong female actors of the series are also at the center of the story. Along with Ebru Özkan, Pelin Akil, Işıl Yücesoy and Gülenay Kalkan, the female weight in the series makes itself felt.
Ebru Özkan plays Leyla, the former wife of the Cezayir Türk character. Again, we are watching Pelin Akil as Firuze, the wife of the same character in his new life. Gülenay Kalkan also reveals her success with the character of Elmas in the series where Işıl Yücesoy takes place as Gülendem.
Ebru Özkan, whom we watched as Leyla, said that she accepted this role because she liked both the script and the character of the series. The actress explained: “For an actor, it’s very clear, the script and the character. The integration of the two, sometimes the scenario is very good, but you may not like your character. Sometimes the character is very good, but there are situations in the script that you don’t like. It was one of the reasons why I chose this project, since both are integrated here. The change of the character from the past to the present, its development, the story, the reasons for the standing of that strong woman, the aftermath, the attraction they encountered were all about them. ”
Pelin Akil, on the other hand, participated in the Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz series with the character of Bahar, and her harmony with Oktay Kaynarca was also highly appreciated. In the new series, these two are also on the screen, and fans also share messages expressing their support on social media.
Pelin Akil said, “They write to me all the time, saying ‘what awaits us’. They liked our harmony with Oktay Kaynarca more than previous works. “We are very happy to see you together,” they say. I get very good comments about it. I am very excited.”
She appeared in front of the audience as Gülendam, the mother of the Cezayir Türk character played by Oktay Kaynarca in the series with Işıl Yücesoy. Despite the emotional vacuum of her son’s absence for years, Gülendem won the admiration of the audience as the mother who keeps the house alive. Işıl Yücesoy said, “She is not a woman who shouts a lot, but a person who approaches with a lot of empathy, who approaches very warmly and in a very different way.”
Gülenay Kalkan plays Firuze’s mother with the character of Elmas. Elmas, a strong and noble woman, is not one of the mother roles you are used to seeing on the screen.
Güleney Kalkan said, “It is not a mother type that comes to mind first. Neither mine nor Işıl Yücesoy’s… We set out to show that this issue can be resolved with nobility and sincerity, not the immediate upsetting, hurtful and shouting reactions. My character is such a character,” she said.
Ben Bu Cihana Sığmazam series, together with 4 important actresses, gets its success from the scenario that is so deeply and specially processed.
It is also understood that Oktay Kaynarca, who showed that he learned from the great shortcomings of the Eşkıya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz series, attaches special importance to the female characters.
