It was announced that the TV series “Misafir”, which met with the audience on Fox TV, was adapted from the South Korean production of Oasis. The series, which created a great excitement, created great expectations, especially when there were two important actors such as Hazal Kaya and Buğra Gülsoy in the lead roles.
However, we witness that these expectations are not met. The ratings for the show were very low. As a result of the low rates in the Thursday competition, it was decided to make the finale in the fifth episode of the Misafir series.
The issue of how similar the Misafir series, which will be screened for the last time on Thursday evening, 9 December, is with Oasis has also created a debate. Anibal Güleroğlu, one of the bloggers of Milliyet, opened up this similarity issue for discussion and made a comment stating that Misafir is not very similar to the original story.
Anibal Güleroğlu’s criticism of the Misafir series is as follows:
“Although it was called an adaptation of the Oasis series, it was difficult to say that the content of ‘Misafir’ was similar to this production. Because ‘Oasis’ was a work that developed its content by focusing on a young man who pursued the unjust death of his father, based on the young people’s drive to get revenge and power-richness during a turbulent period in South Korea.
Therefore, it would be appropriate to say that ‘Misafir’ follows the footsteps of the 2002 movie ‘Oasis’, which deals with the sexual intimacy with his paralyzed sister, visiting the house of a young man who was excluded by the society rather than the TV series, after he unconsciously caused his death as a result of an accident.
