Destan, the serial in which Ebru Şahin plays the leading role and in which a historical female character is featured for the first time, has not lost the first place in the ratings since the first day it came to the screen. In the episode aired last night, the love between Akkız and Batuga impressed the audience. Destan broke new ground in the world of TV series with its strong female and weaker male characters.
Destan series, shot by Bozdağ Film for ATV, entered the world of TV series like a storm with its costumes, decorations and the successful acting of Ebru Şahin. The scene in which Batuga, played by Edip Tepeli, saves the captive Akkız, left its mark on the third episode of the series, which aired last night.
The series, which tells the story of Batuga, the son of Alpagu Khan, the great khan of the Gök Khanate, and Akkız, who wants to avenge his father, draws attention with its action scenes. However, in the scene last night, the scene where Batuga rescued Akkız, who was captured by the Gök Khanate, was the scene that attracted the most attention of the audience. The audience was very impressed by the love between Akkız and Batuga.
In fact, the relationship between Akkız and Batuga is very different from what we are used to. Normally, we watch a strong male character and a weaker female character in Turkish TV series. However, the situation is very different in Destan.
Because the male character, Batuga, is a weaker character due to the fact that he is the son of a khan, but he is crippled and one-armed and lives under his father’s wing. Akkız is a true amazon warrior. Batuga is the soft belly of Akkız, who has no fear of anyone and fights bravely.
Therefore, it is possible to say that Destan has revolutionized the world of Turkish TV series with such a character distribution. It is also promising in terms of the place of women in life that a female character is brought to the fore in such a strong way and that this series attracts such a great deal of attention.
