Turkish TV series are under the influence of the whole world. Dozens of our TV series continue to be broadcast in many countries from South America to South East Asia. Three recent dramas, Aziz, Destan and Mahkum, are also struggling to be the best in a competition held in South Korea.
South Korea is a country that has achieved as much success in the TV series industry as Turkey. Many TV series shot by South Korea were adapted to Turkey. This far away country is holding a competition about TV series. Aziz, Destan (Epic) and Mahkum (Prisoner) compete in the category of “Best Drama” at the Seoul International Drama Awards.
Ebru Şahin, who made a big debut with Hercai and proved her acting talent with Destan, is among the finalists of this competition. The successful actress competes against her rivals in the “Best Actress” category with her performance in Destan.
Murat Yıldırım and Simay Barlas are in the lead roles in the Aziz series, which was screened on Show TV. The series, which closed its first season with average ratings, is expected to get better scores in the second season. For this purpose, an important change was made. The script of the series, whose first season was written by Eda Tezcan, will be written by master screenwriter Eylem Canpolat in the second season.
It is claimed that the Destan series, which made a very fast entry to the last winter season, but whose ratings later dropped, will also make its final next season. No official statement was made regarding the claim, neither confirming nor denying it. While it is not clear why the final decision was made about a series whose ratings are not so bad, it is stated that the series will bid farewell with the only episode to be screened at the beginning of the season.
Mahkum, starring Onur Tuna and İsmail Hacıoğlu, is also a South Korean adaptation. The series entered the season very quickly, but towards the end, the ratings dropped. Therefore, the screenwriters of the series have to work very hard to raise the ratings for the second season.
