Well, Turkish dramas have been alluring for audiences worldwide with their authentic and realistic approach. Telling the stories of the lead characters manages to capture the attention of the viewers as they often present the lead in a way the viewers can relate to them.
As we discuss Turkish drama, an upcoming one titled “Arak” might interest you as it follows the story of two families whose life turns upside down in a day after the male lead loses his father and the female lead loses her beloved mom on the same day.
The unique yet ordinary storyline has already managed to grasp the viewers’ attention as they wait for the drama to release, and the story of the protagonist unfolds after she returns to Istanbul after completing her studies, only to run into the male lead who has completely transformed.
Directed by Ender Mihar, the series is still under production, and filming is taking place in Istanbul with hopes of it making its way on our screen within a few weeks for the viewers to follow along the journey of the two families whose lives changed overnight due to one wrong decision.
The series’ story will center around Kara, whose father is accused of murdering Zeynep’s mother after he attempted to rob the family house, and the change of fate that occurred after Zeynep lost her mom while Kara lost his dad on the same night.
As a grown-up, Zeynep tries to steer clear of troubles while Kara keeps inviting troubles, and everything changes when the two cross paths as adults due to Kara trying to figure out what happened the night he lost his dad.
What To Expect
Well, the plot of the upcoming series is quite simple, focusing on the fate of two individuals who lost someone they loved on the same night and crossed each other’s path accidentally as adults due to Kara, the male lead, attempting to know what happened on the night he lost his dad.
The series focuses on the murder of Elif Çınar, the wife of Rauf Çınar, known as one of the leading economists of the time, that occurred in 1998 when she was stabbed by Necip Tala, a burglar attempting to rob her house.
On the fateful night, the lives of our lead actors change completely as Kara loses his father in the same incident that involves the murder of Zeynep’s mother, with the only difference between the two being that Kara became homeless the moment he lost his only hero while Zeynep still had her dad.
Now, after years have passed, Kara is a transformed man with the goal of stealing from those who steal from others in order to ensure that no child suffers the same fate he suffered after losing his dad.
The story focuses on Kara, who makes his living by stealing while also supporting his neighborhood on the same basis, and Zeynep, who crosses Kara’s path unexpectedly and the two start to grow closer before realizing that they are connected to each other through that fateful night.
Kara is determined to go after the people who are responsible for ruining his innocence and making him homeless, while Zeynep has decided to move forward in life as she isn’t ready to face the truth of the events of the fateful night she lost her mom.
