I've been hearing dizi fans rave about Turkish rom-com Kiralik Ask for awhile, so during the Covid-19 quarantine, I took the plunge. And I was hooked from the first episode. Thus far, it seems to be a well-written Dizi with great chemistry between the leads Elgin Sangu and Baris Arduc. It's always a good sign when I finish an episode and can NOT close my laptop without peeking at what's coming in the next episode.
