Fans of the Yalı Çapkını (Golden Boy) series had high hopes for the second season, but according to some viewers, the story is not progressing well enough. The ratings race between Kızılcık Şerbeti (Cranberry Sherbet) and Yalı Çapkını has intensified on Friday evenings.
Last season, the Kızılcık Şerbeti series stood out in terms of story, and we saw that the series achieved very good ratings in the AB and ABC1 categories and took the first place from the Yalı Çapkını.
A similar situation began to occur in the second season. Although the rating results of the two series broadcast last Friday were very close to each other, the Yalı Çapkını could only come first in the all-person category.
Kızılcık Şerbeti took first place in the AB and ABC1 categories in the ratings, with both its story and its effective appearances on social media.
However, at the beginning of the second season of the two series, Yalı Çapkını series achieved much better rates and did not lose the first place in all rating categories. It was a remarkable situation that after the criticism about the story, Kızılcık Şerbeti started to surpass its rival in the ratings.
So, what do the Yalı Çapkını series fans object to? Looking at the comments on social media, the followers of the series perceive the change in the story as negative. In other words, viewers who consider that the story was stronger in the first season share comments stating that they felt the negative change in the story.
Viewers, who commented that the characters’ situation and the dialogues in the scenes were not sufficient, stated that they were not happy with the story and characters undergoing such a drastic transformation.
In an environment where the Yalı Çapkını TV series received these criticisms regarding its story, the viewers, who stated that Kızılcık Şerbeti progressed very well and balanced in the second season, started to choose this production, and the balance in the ratings changed.
