One of the most important strengths of the Bitter Lands series in the 3rd season is the great opening that the newcomers Nazan Kesal and Furkan Palali have added to the story. Both characters fit the show very well. Both came to the screen with characters with stories. The audience accepted them without any disbelief.
Furkan Palalı, who starred in the romantic comedy series My Sweet Lie last year, is in the drama business in the new season. The actor also made a good introduction to the series with the character of Fikret Fekeli. Furkan Palalı, who gave life to a strong man, spoke to the cameras.
Furkan Palalı’s preparation for the series was very efficient due to the pandemic. Furkan Palalı, who found time and made a lot of research during this precious time, went through an intense preparation process for the character. The actor also explained what he did in this process with the following words:
“There is a very serious number of episodes in the past, shot before me. I had the opportunity to watch them in detail. Since the texture of that period was different, I investigated what kind of style was used in the table setting, table conversation, sincerity, and the behaviors we modernize today. I read some books of that period. I read and researched the Çukurova of that period. That’s why my preparation process for the series was quite productive due to the pandemic. ”
Expressing that the Fikret Fekeli image created in the series is very precious to him, Furkan Palalı reminded that he was thinking about how a large team would dress. The actor said:
“While we are preparing as characters, I think we should focus on this. I pay close attention to this. This should have been the image of this man who came to the city as a stranger to the city, who seemed to be alien and surprised in the conditions of this period. We did it just before the set so I wanted some warmth for the character. Before I got on the set, I got on the set digesting this image of the man. “
