I’ve recently seen an increase in the attention being paid by Arab viewers and even TV stations to series and movies that originate from Turkey! This obviously includes ‘Noor’ and the upcoming movie ‘Aby Wa Ebny’ (My Father and My Son) which Topa Boyokostn will star in. I cannot help but wonder if this attention is positive or negative. As one of the stars of ‘Noor’ said presenting Turkish series in the Arab world is building a bridge between two cultures that are seemingly separated. But is this bridge feeding the Arab youth ‘bad’ information?
I mean it appears to me –a third part observer who has visited Turkey- that the country is becoming more and more ‘European’ and even when I curiously watched an episode of ‘Noor’ this became very apparent. Obviously the viewer is the arbiter in this situation but I personally think that the Turkish series are nothing special and I really do not see what all the hype is about!

I have heard abt that series and thought it was interesting but i tried to watch it but couldnt understand anything loool
if anyone can summarize for me o i would be able to start watching it regularily hehe
Well i watch Noor and its entertaining ! Its about a rich family that lives in Istanbul and their is a grandpa that rules all the members of the family.And their is Mohanad and NooR, noor is the girl from the country and the grandpa give her and her grandma money every month and mohanad had a girl friend that died and he started to drink and live unhealty so the grandpa decides that Mohanad has to get married to Noor and ofcourse noor cant refuse becuse she owns the grandpa that.Mohanad run away on their wedding night but then they fell in love with easch other and now they are struggling with problems with their company it's actully a great show!
WALEG~
I have a good article for u but ur never checking ur E-mail or u just never replyed its ok but please check ur email now u will be happy
Its important for real :D
the best turkish movie is sanawat al daya3 it rocks it has action and romance its fouced on drama and lovley characters as rafeef and yehya and lamese and omar and even more it comes at 3pm and 8pm and other times u could say its better than nour for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
noor tegnen bgd drama 7elwa awyy , it is really a great interesting show ,
all of the actors and actresses are great esp. mohaned and bana.
OMG NOOR IS AMAZING! SO MUCH DRAMA!!!!!
i think the most amazing thing about this show is that the great lovestory between noor and mohanad.if every husband treats his wife this way with mercy and love as GOD told us we would find heaven on earth.
i dont see what the hype is about either.
noor is sooooo lame
Its a very normal thing before about ten years all arab people watched the Mexican series after two or three series they start boring from this drama. I think we can't love more than 30 eps. series for long time.
we just now looking for the turkish culture after that every thing will be normal and we'll back to the arabic series.
Its one of my favourite TV show and I think Turkey or Turkish drama to precise can be the missing link between both the Arab and European culture.
I still think that the TV series shows a bit of what left of Muslim or Arabian traditions regardless some unpleasnt or unwanted scences put to convay the dramatic plot of the show. Otherwise the TV show is a huge success and we should not underestimate the judgement our viewers
noor is the best show ever, and it doesn't hurt that mohanad is sooooo hot!
Noor is over-rated but it's a good show, but I think everyone is more facinated by the main actor 'Mohanad' or watever his name is becuz hes a model and the arabs are like WOW hes HOT :s
Basically the khaleeji and Eygptian series are becoming VERY repetitive. The turkish series are very original ideas conveying intriguing story lines which are so random that it captivates the viewers. I personally NEVER watch arabic satalite channels apart from the arabic music channels but guess what...'Sanatwat Al-thaya3' aired on MBC is sooooooooo AMAZING, i cannot believe im hooked.
Turkish Problems are better then other series and Ihlurlmar Altinda is very popular and TUBA BUKUYUSTUN or some thing plays in it too . But Gumus (noor) Is alright as you can see ANOTHER MODEL PLAYS IN IT !
But i suppose you don't realise how many people watch it and i knew this was gonna come up in waleg I LUV IHLURLMAR ALTINDA ! And if you like the song that pops up each time or at the beginning i have the whole album on my pc if you want it just go to youtube type the serie in and you'd probably see some thing saying Intizar------ Ihlurlmar Altinda and yes there are A MILLION DASHES ON IT ! lol Anyways I think they are great in my opinion it's better then arabic series - THIS SERIE HAS A MEANING DUDE ! :S
RURU , ITS CALLED IHLURLMAR ALTINDA OR SOME THING IN TURKISH HEHE ..I suppose u said it in arabic ? Lol i LUV IT TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"OMG NOOR IS AMAZING! SO MUCH DRAMA!!!!! "
I'm stunned with this line...Arabs are craving for drama! OMG
The Turkish Dramas give us a break from the boring outlines and plots of Egyptian dramas .(Although Syrian Dramas are amazing as well). And don't forget that the both dramas, Sanwat Al Dya3, and Nour are dubbed in the Syrian Accent, which gives the shows a little personality. Like imagine having them in formal arabic, I don't think the same effect would be had on the viewers. Let's thank all the Syrian Actors that contributed their voices! Both dramas are amazing, but Sanwat al Dya3, or Ihlamurlar Altinda in Turksh, is the best one out of the two! There's action, and there's an actual meaning to the story. It's so sad how Rafeef dies though! I cried, and her daughter is soo cute, and Omer is stupid cuz he treats his daughter like crap! In America, I think we're behind by like 10 or so episodes than in the arab world. So when i go there I'm going to be clueless about what happened.
Now here is an article worth talking about:
"I’ve recently seen an increase in the attention being paid by Arab viewers and even TV stations to series and movies that originate from Turkey! This obviously includes ‘Noor’ and the upcoming movie ‘Aby Wa Ebny’ (My Father and My Son) which Topa Boyokostn will star in. I cannot help but wonder if this attention is positive or negative."
- It's more positive than negative; the connections are being built again so in terms of world connections and buisness it is such an advantage as I have read somehwere else on the net that the profits of Turkish furniture has increased in Dubai.
Plus Arabs are not that different from Turks - but probably are in terms of the strength of their religion.
"As one of the stars of ‘Noor’ said presenting Turkish series in the Arab world is building a bridge between two cultures that are seemingly separated. But is this bridge feeding the Arab youth ‘bad’ information?"
- good and badcan be taken from anything and everthing. So if you want to say that it is passing the bad, don't forget to say it is also passing the good.
"I mean it appears to me –a third part observer who has visited Turkey- that the country is becoming more and more ‘European’ and even when I curiously watched an episode of ‘Noor’ this became very apparent.
- If you haven't noticed that before then that is very worrying. The best example to look at is Dubai where no longer is there a trace of culture, tradition or even history - it has become a completely modified country... no longer an Arab Country - I mean why does the world need a second Eiffel Tower?
This has been going on for such a long time.
"Obviously the viewer is the arbiter in this situation but I personally think that the Turkish series are nothing special and I really do not see what all the hype is about!"
- I disagree; the drama series has a good story line with great characters. The development throughout the drama series is just great to watch - the tough love between the Mohanad and Nour, and the surroundings that affect and shape them and the incidents. It's very good and episode by episode you cannot help but like the show more and more.
Would be interested to know what you all think.
"Obviously the viewer is the arbiter in this situation but I personally think that the Turkish series are nothing special and I really do not see what all the hype is about!"
-Finally somone with reason! I too don't see what's the hype about the series Noor...!? the actors are not even attractive in comparison with handsome men and beautiful women all around the world.
"The Turkish Dramas give us a break from the boring outlines and plots of Egyptian dramas"
-I agree, I'm sick of Egyptian dramas too. But I'm not with Turkish as substitute.
Bring us soap opras like Dynasty, that would be a HIT with arabic voice overs. In Dyansty and other American soap opras one learn too much other than boka2 3ala il atlal and desesperation and stress like arabic dramas.
its great series its amazing to c man as the character of mohanad as its rare even is he a brother
salam alikom karim
thanks for been very honest , and am happy that someone can see what i felt , i saw episodes of ''Noor". and i think its not that kind of stories that have real goul in it ..
i cant say that it's not good when it comes to acting it is good but
i think not the kind people should be so( like you said ) hype about ..
i saw more series of arabic stories are much stronger then that ... like elkaraz ..
in the end that is what i think ..
thanks again
I don't speak either arabic or Turkish. But i follow and entertain noor series. I would appreciate if some one can describe it for me breiefly the theme and characters there.
i am also infatuated with the series nour. but i missed a couple of episodes and was wondering if NE of you know websites to watch or download from!
i would very much appreciate if you could provide an english version of this tele series, as viewers of dubai and other arabic countries are not only arabic speaking. i always watch this series with my arabic friends so they can translate to me what's the conversation all about. nonetheless, as i observe with the actions of the actors and actresses, i am very much hook up with this love story. i admire noor and i hope there will be a surprising event coming up. noor is not lame and her story depicts the new age of women in the society. keep it up!!!
abby please tell me a littlemore on these since i watch it every day and as I am an Ethiopian,who doesn't understand any of those languages. I simply feel very sympathetic to noor thinking that she is a poor girl that doesn't have any prestige to link her to that rich family and found to be rejected by some family members due to her back ground and but loved by Muhannat and some very few there. Am I right?
There is alot of drama, but that's normal for any type of series. It's like a soap opera. The only thing I really didn't like about the show is how they had an episode in which they were drinking alcohol during a ramadan scene.
I think some middle eastern t.v. shows are immitating western ways such as meeting in a club, and drinking alcohol while relating themselves to Islam. I don't think this is a good message to send to our youth.
has any idea how will it finish if yes please send me an e-mail on hellu_susu@yahoo.com. ok please cause i'm going for 3 months summer vacation.

I believe the author is highly mistaken. Shows like Noor are popular in the Arab countries due to their extreme similarity with Arab culture and the everyday problems Arab families go through. Granted, in the shows they are exaggerated and not all families are that wealthy, but there are many similarities. What you call, "bad influence", are the unspoken things that occur constantly in the Arab world. The plot lines that you think 'go too far', I believe don't go far enough. While our culture is based on conservativeness and moral behavior, many of the problems arise because they are kept hidden. These shows bring them to light and put things in perspective.
Anyway, I personally enjoy the show. It's the first truly entertaining show I have seen on Arabic satellite. I was wondering, however, how many episodes of Noor there are, total, and where I would be able to watch them on the internet?
Would someone kindly answer please?
Thank you.
I haven't watch the serie from the beginning but when i saw it for the first time i was touched even the feelings that the actors have are very deep.I m from Tunisia and i wanted to say that all my friends watche it even boys.
I encourage you and i wish you good luck.
hi feyiza,
let's discuss this in email com. my email is abygail.daye@gmail.com
for those who are watching NOOR, let me let you think deeply that the series has its great story which is really happening all around the globe. yes, most women are suffering like NOOR. but eventually, protagonist always has his or her way of depicting the character they are protraying. stories like this have to be appreciated and we have to learn from it as new women of the society.
even NOOR is keeping quiet at some point in the series, eventually, she will grow and show some kind of attitude in the end. please watch NOOR everyday and realize how she will rise in the story.
for the film makers of noor, please make an english version of the series so we can better understand and relate to the story.
I LOVE NOOR SO MUCH!!! KEEP IT UP.
hey does anyone know the real name of nihal?(the ex girlsfriend of kivanc...the one with the child)...or at least the name she has on the turkish version ?? thanks
I am Turkish. I really like that the Arab viewers like that movie. Most people think that it serves as the missing link between the Arab culture and the European Culture. There are a couple of things to remember while watching this series:
1. This is about an extremely rich family. Not all Turks are like that. This series was not very popular in Turkey. Most people will not know about Noor or Gumus in Turkey.
2. Religion is almost non-existent in this series. The number of practising Turkish Muslims is considerably high. Here, you see none of them.
3. The immoral stuff that happens in this series are probably more common in the Arab world than it is in Turkey. We are not as rich as the Qataris, Kuwaitis, UAEs, or most Saudis. What do most of them do? You know better.
4. I wish it had references to our brotherhood, the brotherhood between the Arab world and Turkey. Above all, we are all Muslims.
5. I wish Arab viewers would also like other series from more conservative TV channels in Turkey. We really have great series. Turkey is the number one of series in the world (per capita).
hi feyiza, i do not know why my comment last night was not being posted here. please email me at abygail.daye@gmail.com
for the film makers or franchisers in dubai, pls provide an english version of NOOR. thanks.
I like the tv series noor and sanawat al day3... they show life from a different angle. things like what happens in noor really does happen....thats the main point...yea some of the characters are a bit overrated but pay attention to the theme and not necessarily who is in it....read between the lines and there is a true lesson...
Noor is such a great show. I love watching it. Of course, being egyptian I sometimes don't understand every word that's said. I think they're speaking in a lebanese dialect. It's fun for me because now I'm learning a different dialect. The show is so emotional and of course dramatic. Noor puts up with a lot as do a lot of women. I really hope Mohaned and Noor stay together.
Not all shows have to revolve around religion. It's nice to take a break from religion. We are people living in the world struggling through different issues in our lives involving love, work, family and everything else. Not all of that has to do with religion.
i love muhanad alot he is so hansome. and noor is so pretty. i love every body in NOOR except tarek ... i just wanted to say iiiiiiiiiiii lllllllllllllllloooooooooooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee muhanad his eyes is gorgeous, 1of my friend fell in love with him !!!! and noor she is fab (fabulous) i love u !!!!
Thanks Abby, I will e-mail you soon.We watch Noor series because it is all about human that in one way or an other happens in every body's life. I try to catch it up every day and watch its series though I am a non-muslim person from Ethiopia.What inspired me most to follow noor series as some guys who try to translate noor me is that the simillarities that exist among cultures,values , traditions, social settings, etc quite resembling and dare to be proud of and respcted. i personally have very strong respect Islam, Chritian, Arab, African, Turks, etc. Remember aso that the drama is for all who watches it.
Ilove noor
Feyisa
I was just wondering, does mohannad die at the end?
Dudes, i LOVE that show. Seriously i wait infront of the TV until it begins..
it is differnt than all that crap the middle eastern dramas are portraying!
sanawat a daya3 is way way way way way way way better than noor.
it has everything the romance the conflicts the drama not llike noor who is boring tuba is a great actrees
and i think mohaned thinks that he is all that he is not that hot i think he is arrogant for me yihya is way better than him even with the mostache lol
and wats also amazing is that bulent (yihya) and tuba (lamees) are really in love and maybe they're getting married
by the way lena u can watch them on msa6el.com
tuba and bulent u rock
Anwar is the best I love him he is so cute and hot!! I dnt like mohannad much!!
This serrie is wowwwwwwwwwwwww,,,i love kivanc,,mohannad..i am trying to get any address for him whether email,or by mail ,,just to tell this actor how handsome and cute he is.those who don't watch it,,although it's too late now,,do try to get it,,atleast it takes u away from this deppressing world.....kivanc U r Cute.
to Masrya
nooooooooooooo its in the syrian dialect thats the only thing that bothers me but i can still understand a lto of it
i just started watching it but and now i love it lol soo cute
I have seen few seens, didn't like this show, very silly. But It's the first time I know Turkish are open minded like westerns. cool
Hi,
I am sorry I did not have the time to read all posts, but I was a little amazed by this article. I cant help but wonder if you actually wrote this article about the show itself, or for the comments you made, stating that you don't know if this attention to this show is positive or negative and the fact that there is a bridge between both cultures (arabic and turkish). You also mention that you wonder if this will have a good or bad impact on the Arab youth....and did not stop yourself stating that this show is to westernised, the country is too European to your taste.
Well let me tell you that I am an Arab, from Tunisia, and Turkish people are a lot more religious than any northern African countries, and do have real Muslim people, a lot more than in these countries, and that they do practice their religion a lot more, so if the country is westernized it is more for political and economic issues, than anything else.
I do not think this kind of show will have bad influence on Arabs, and as far as I am concerned, common let's be honest, don't you think there are other shows in this whole world that could jeopardise our youth????
If the country is very reserved as you mentioned, thwn why the ministry of culture or whatever its called in Turkey allowed making, airing and selling a similar series in the name of Turkey (Turkish drama series) ??
The actress is ugly and one can find similar looks as the actor in every corner in Europe.
I don't see anything special in this series, old story, bad acting, it's a series similar to old series 15 years ago.
Hi,Im from Iran and I dont know arabic at all but I watch this show on mbc4 everyday ,please tell me what will happen at the end of this serial,I cant wait anymore.by the way could u tell me what this arabic world mean in english ? (shoofi)
to mona (shoofi) means look or see.
Dear ... Thanks a lot for telling me the definition !
it also means "what's going on" (shoo fi)
so u have to match either meaning with the context of the scene :)
hi
i like very much to watch noor and sanawat daya3 .u feel that u live with them that wonderful story which deal with different thems .love hate freindship ambitions .and it shows that love is a strong feeling and so powerful and we can't resiste that power. i wish true love for every one.
hi , i love mohannad very much he's so cute and nour is so cute and good person and i hate very much 3abdeen:(:(
Does anybody know if Nour dies at the end??????

It's a wonderful drama that touches the life of most individuals. Would you please tell me what would happen to Noor and Muhanad at the end? And is it possible to have the English version for those who could not listen Arabic just like ourselves, could not understand the theme fully.
Thank you
abby to waleg,
sorry, i didn't see that my comment was posted here, i saw it late as i post my lst comment. in any way, i still love NOOR and i enjoy exchanging comments here and meeting friends all over the world.
keep it up to waleg and NOOR.
abby
hi guys can any one tel me what will happen to anwar and the affair he had ?anyone knows let me know
Mohannad is hooooot !!!!!!!
and noor is so sweet !!!!
iI LOVE YOU MOHANNAD
AND NOOR !!!!!!!!!!!
I think Ihlamurlar Altinda (Sanawat Al Dyaa) is better than Gumus (Noor). However, I love this new connection between Turkey and the Middle East and I hope that it gets larger. They should make a movie or soap opera with Arab and Turkish actors together!!! That would be amazing. One more thing: Ozge Borak who plays Elif (Rafif) is beautiful. I was so mad when Yilmaz (Yahya) left her and wouldn't go back to her.
SAMANTHA: Nihal's name is Nihad in the Turkish episode. Also, does anyone know why Ozge Borak, the woman who plays Elif(Rafif) didn't come to be interviewed in the Middle East with Tuba, Sinan, and Bulent. I was really hoping to see her. Email me at talesof1001nights@yahoo.com
HI
I watched the Turkish serie of Iklil elward last year on mbc1 and i really like it ,now i m watching snawet dhay 3 and noor.each one tells a defferent story but verry related to the reality the arabic or turkish.The stories are great but there is so many episode and i can t wait to know what is going to happend in the end so please if anybody know how it will end please tell me Thank you
Oh and about your comment:
But is this bridge feeding the Arab youth ‘bad’ information?
Please this is a SHOWWW stop taking yourself and things so seriously. Also, these comments about islam and religion and how it plays no part in the show. PLease leave religion out of this!! Again its a show. Its entertainment ok! If you are so bothered by it then don't watch. I hate how Arab want to include religion in everything My goodness!! And by the way they are excellent actors/actresses way more real and less dramatic then the arabs.
Lets give them some credit.
loved ur comment ya nancy !!!!!!!!!!!
Noor is an excellent show.
Personally from watching Noor - I've seen MANY similarities with the turkish culture and the arab culture.
All the problems and issues in Noor are issues that can happen to anyone, anywhere. Problems such as alcohol abuse, death, adultery etc. These problems happen everywhere - INCLUDING arab countries.
Also the show can teach you many good lessons in life, such as trust issues etc.
Moreover, I didn't know much about Turkey, Turkish people and the Turkish culture. However, after watching Noor i can say that i definately have learnt alot about Turkey and its people. True that the show only focuses on one rich family, but that still gives the audience enough insight into everything.
Moreover, i don't see why the author of this article thinks that NOOR is portraying bad ideas to the arab culture. Please, look around you. All our countries in the arab world are becoming very westernized, just like Turkey is. The only difference is, Turkey is in Europe, and it will soon be an EU member. Arab countries aren't - yet we are still developing into westernized states. Take a look at Dubai and Bahrain for example.
Enough said.
Noor is awesome
Stop over analyzing things.
Watch it if you like it, and don't watch it if you don't - obviously.
The actors and actresses are hot. That's what makes it a good show. Imagine if they were all butt ugly - would people watch ? The same applies to all shows. Would Grey's Anatomy be successful if it wasn't for Patrick Dempsey and the gorgeous Katherine Heigl ?
plz can anyone give me a website that i can watch lamis .sanawet al daya3 at cz i really want to watch it plz plz plz
plz can anyone give me a website that i can watch lamis .sanawet al daya3 at cz i really want to watch it plz plz plz in arabic i wana watch it.plz
first of all i would like to say khara on noor and sanawat al dia3
to mabelle:
u can watch sanawat al daya3 on msa6el.com
Hi dear friends and Noor Gumus fans,I have missed so many parts of this serial,could you introduce me a website that I can download missing parts,by the way,is it possible for you to give me a summary of this serial,because I dont know the relations and dont know why all of them live in a house.
Hi everybody,
As you may know the turkish civilisation is Osmanian civilisation. And as Morocco country was sometimes under the control of Osmaian people, now you can witness some osmanian culture in Morocco and that is why you can find some similatiry in between Morocco and Turky that is in between Arab and Turky.
Hi everyone, I'm from America, in Michigan to be exact and I always look up things on the Internet about noor & sanawat aldya3. I've never been so entertained and so many people I know watch the shows. I like noor better but I like romantic shows and sanawat al dyaa is great too. I'll try to tell you as much as I can about the shows but they are definitly having a positive effect on Arabs everywhere. So many people are getting more interestedin turkey because if the shows and its a beautiful place for vacation! If you want to watch any episodes of the shows you can visit panet.co.il and under videos you can watch the episodes but it only has the most recent ones so unfortu etly you cannot watch the endings. Although if you search noor or gumus on youtube you can watch the last episode in Turkish. There are more episodes in the arab world for the series noor because in turkey there are only 100 episodes and each is more than one hoyt long so on mbc there are about 150 episodes or more. I'm not sure about sanawat al dta3 because I watch noor more abd know more about it .
Noor: the beginning mehmet or mohannad was in love with nihal who was pregnant abd when she was telling him that she had his child she as getting out of the front seat to let him drive and was ran over . Nihal died,well atleast that's what mohannad thought. He lived a bad life and was miserable. He was forced to marry noor a poor girl who was helped by mohannad's rich grandfather. They didn't get along at first and when noor was pregnant with his baby he pushed her down the staires and lost it. They soon feel in love abd on thier trip or honey moon they see nihal at the hotel! Mehmet didnt see her his sister danna did and so did her husband anwar. Nihal didnt die after the accident but didnt want to upset mehmet but she loved him abd somehow the baby survived. She had a boy who she named mehmet . After mehmet fell in love with noor he found out the girl he used to love is still alive and be gas what be wanted most which us a child. That was basically the main point of the problem but there is so much more drama with the whole family.
In the end 3abdin noor's business partner is be cause ifxall the problems that happened like the drugs the work the money and everything. He also shoots mehmet but noor kills 3abdin. She also ends up having a baby girl.
I'm not sure if mehmet lives if you know please email me abd dies nihal walk?
I hope this helped a little and I'm not sure about what goes on with sanawat al dya3 sorry. If you have any questions or you dan answer mine email me at xadorabl3x7@aim.com
Also if you didnt know mehmet was best Mosel in the world in 2002 and his girlfriend is azkra akin who was miss world in 2002. Nihal is also a model too.
On both shows lamxe abd noor are the causes of all the problems because more than one man is n love with them . I hope trey luve happily ever after.
je l aime tres fort mouhaned et noor aussi mon msn et le bjiji1989@hotmail.com bientot jiji
FATMA AND KARIM,as a young turk girl i can sincerly menion that one of the unbreakable culture of the world can be just a positive example its brothers not bad.surely there should be something that you can forcely understand in the tv serie,but you also must take the lesson in it as an advice.turk production is world's 2nd greates productions and as stories they are well designed by authors and carefully analysed by sociolists.i hope you can do the better rather than sittin' on the sofa and critisize what you watch maybe even regularly..even if it s not so;you cannot decide about a huge culture with an enormous tradition..you cannot hang all "turkiye" and "turks" . and without coming over here you can never understand what we ve become?a european or???turks and their history is as wide as you cannot press in a region.we are notmiddle eastern but we are not european neighter...there s turk in caucasia,in africa,in middle east and in europe...you can find turks who are settled these regions since 2000 years.and we all have same basic tradition despite the different regions we live in (i m talking about turks) and the other point ; for deciding about us,you gotta go to that country and meet many peopl,and stay at leqast 21 days over there..if not it'd easily be a predujdgement...well,who cares even if you do!
i'm syure the people who likes this tv serie take the necessary lesson that it goals to give in fact..
i'm sending my regards from türkiye to all my brothers and sister..
Selam
I really like the episode Noor I want to know what will happen to Noor in the end will noor and Muhanned ever live live happily together and will their chidren grow up and what will dana and bana do in the end
to Fatma Nur Calisici,
you are right my dear, all nations have their own cultures and once we have embraced each other's culture, ergo, we can easily see ourselves in most places and most influences such as the media. tv series and other types of entertainment and shows were not made just for the producers to earn money. they were made to educate 6billion people on earth about the diversity and dynamics of different cultures.
each and every character in NOOR, i am sure, depicts once character in each of us viewers, whether we admit it or not. and each and every events are for real. we can see them in our everyday lives and even experience it ourselves.
protagonists, antogonists, extras...they all have impacts on the lives of each individuals on earth...may we be arabs, turks, asians, americans, europeans and others.
more power to noor...specially to mehmet and gumus...love these guys!!!
