Fox TV’s new series, Gülümse Kaderine (Smile Your Destiny), came to the screen with its new episode last night. Erkan Meriç became the shining star of the series, which could not get the expected result from the ratings. Erkan Meriç, who plays Fırat, the worst character of the series, even surpassed Nuri Alço with the comments of the audience.
The Gülümse Kaderine series, starring Bahar Şahin and Sude Zülal Güler, came to the screen with its third episode last night. The ratings of the series, which tells about the struggle of two young girls who left the orphanage, are not very bright. However, the series especially benefited the young actor Erkan Meriç.
Erkan Meriç plays Fırat, a villainous and treacherous character, in the TV series Gülümse Kaderine. Fırat is also very obsessed with Yaren, one of the two young girls, and is doing his best to get her. With this character, Fırat reminded the audience of Nuri Alço, the famous villain of Yeşilçam.
Nuri Alço, who always played bad characters in the Turkish films of the 80s, was famous for enticing the young and beautiful girls he wanted to get. However, viewers say that Erkan Meriç is very successful in the character of Fırat, leaving even Nuri Alço behind in their comments on social media.
Erkan Meriç, who has attracted the most attention of the audience in Gülümse Kaderine since the first episode, continues to receive praise from the audience on social media. Some viewers state that Erkan Meriç’s talent has been wasted so far. On the other hand, although the audience knows that the character is very bad, they cannot stop loving it. Some viewers describe Fırat as a “cute villain”.
Erkan Meriç, who gave life to a character very different from the ones he portrayed so far, draws attention with his performance in Gülümse Kaderine. Having a somewhat psychopathic personality, Fırat is a character that the audience does not like very much. Erkan Meriç, who successfully coped with this role, continues to receive praise from the audience. Fırat is the most interesting character of the series.
