Those who watched the 14th episode trailer of the Gecenin Ucunda (At The end of the Night), broadcast on Star TV on Tuesday evenings, were amazed by the character of Macide. Played by Neslihan Atagül, Macide’s application of war paints and the way she felt like a homeowner pleased the audience with what she did in the mansion.
Crying and constantly hurting, Macide left, and was replaced by a Macide who started to resemble the character of Yıldız played by Eda Ece in the Yasak Elma (Forbidden Apple) series. This new situation, in which Neslihan Atagül came to the fore with her successful performance, brought to mind the formula of watching the Yasak Elma, which received great acclaim as a series that made fun of itself.
Now, the character of Macide, who wipes her tears and starts to fight with her opponents by the rules set by herself, not by them, is going for a style change. Her stinging, belittling and describing her own place, but also containing humor, is very similar to the Yıldız character played by Eda Ece for 6 seasons.
The Yasak Elma series also started as a drama story in the first two seasons, but when the audience’s interest began to wane, the cynical attitude of Yıldız character, who appeared in improvised scenes, saved the series.
Now, we can say that a similar formula is reflected in the TV series “Gecenin Ucunda” through the character of Macide, and that Neslihan Atagül draws a very good picture of her sarcastic attitude.
The viewers, who are very pleased with the Macide character standing upright, think that the series will become even more beautiful with a character who fights and starts to make life a little messy instead of seeing someone who constantly cries.
