SCK - Merry-go-rounds

Does anyone else think Hannah looks a little bit wild in this episode?🤔

vera, you're such a buzzkill 🙏.

I'm only halfway through. That video they film before heading off to college—the one where Ada says "to hell with Tony Stark"—would actually be a great touch if they worked it into an episode. Like, they're all watching it together and stuff 🙂.

Tony is just incredible in the first episode... specifically when he guest lectures at the university. When he steps onto that stage and his voice rings out, asking who owns that voice from the crowd. That whole scene by his car is perfection. From the moment he rolls down the window. What a look Edward gives 🤣. He looks totally lost too. Great acting.

The premiere was really solid. And the girls are fun. Okay, maybe they talk over each other a bit too much and too fast... like when Melo is explaining that app for finding lost phones and Cheryl is looking confused, then Melo just goes, "we buy our phones on 36-month installment plans" 😂.

And how much Tony loved seeing that Ada forgot her purse. You could see that mustache twitch into a smile
.
In this first part, the biggest logic gap for me is how Tony and Ada drive thirty minutes to the hotel while the girls just walk 😂.

What does that even mean?

She’s been diagnosed with strabismus... basically, one of her eyes wanders off to the side. I'm not quite sure how to put it into words.

shadoworca5 - I mean, maybe those eyes of yours are just staring into nothingness at this point...

But that part where all those newlyweds and their whole crowd are basically shadowing Serge at the beach🤦

Like, the guy says goodbye and walks off, and he's got this whole entourage trailing him.
Jesus, Selena is already getting under my skin.

Haha gentlepanther don't let it get to you🤣
I'm watching this scene on a plane right now and they are just stunning 😍
But she only brought him fruit salad, then he goes and offers her tea... Tony is such a magician

Angela Edwards3 said:Strabismus diagnosis... one of her eyes just drifts to the side slightly. I don't know how else to put it.

Brenda Perez3 said:Rhea - if your eyes start crossing.

Aha, I get it. It is a bit weird... maybe her surgery failed or something.
🤣 Is it just me, or did they shave Tony Stark mid-episode? He looks like he has a fresh haircut in some scenes.

Angela Edwards3 says we're all basically Melo... true enough. When they hug and she's just thinking "I'm hungry," that's me. Food is always on my mind. Ugh.

And I have to say this out loud—don't attack me—but Ada was a bit much with that whole "this is who I am" attitude in the first part of the season. Chill out, lady... It's interesting how she treats Cenk, almost like pulling a kid's nose, yet here she's portrayed as someone nobody should mess with.🤣

EDIT: And this Cenk guy... Lord help me, what an idiot. In Italy, you don't even need to know Italian. You speak English and everyone understands you. Amen, what nonsense.☕

😵

Tony just found out at the engagement party that Ken and Ferris are actually buddies.
As if he didn't already know before the ring was even on her finger.🍿

Grace Price92 said:Tony just found out Ken and Ferris are actually buddies right at the engagement stage. Talk about a headache.
Who was on the bail before that?🍿

It didn't just hit him during the engagement party. I mean, he already laid it all out for Engin the night before, wasn't that right? Plus, he’s been throwing it in Selena's face that those weren't even Ferris's ideas to begin with—they were all Ken's.

shadoworca5 said:It’s not like he just found out during the engagement. I mean—he actually lays it all out for Engin the night before, and even gives Selena a hard time about how his ideas aren't really his own, but Ken's.

😂
I always tend to skip over that whole segment with Engin—though, looking back, I guess it’s actually pretty vital.

He only brings up Ken to make excuses... like, "I don't even care about Selena, damn it, I'm Tony Stark... I'm only doing this for Ken"
And honestly, I don't think he actually cares. His ego is just bruised because she walked away and is marrying someone else... he definitely had a plan to win her back. He just let his heart get in the way... Ada totally won him over 😍

Rhea... just enjoy the ride... we haven't posted on the forum since the start of the episode, so we're going to make up for lost time now 😂

For instance, it really annoyed me when he offered to pay back her scholarship and she refused... I mean, what's the point of playing games? You complain, you cry, you hate the guy because of the money, and then you act crazy and reject it (I know things wouldn't have unfolded the way they did if she had just accepted it, but still 😁)

Angela Edwards3 said:Haha gentlepanther Don't let them get under your skin.🤣
I'm up on stage in the plane. They look incredible.😍
And she really thought bringing him nothing but a fruit salad was going to cut it? Please.And then he goes and adds tea to it... honestly, Bolat is a total magician.

And there are strawberries in the fruit salad. 😂 Whether it was coming from Edward's side or someone else entirely, it looks like Tony really needed to step up and fix this mess. 🤣.

Grace Price92 said:Haha
I always end up skipping that whole part with Engin, even though it looks like it’s actually key to everything.

Haha.

Angela Edwards3 said:He only brings up Ken just to make excuses for himself... like, "I don't give a damn about Selena, dammit, I'm Tony Stark... I'm only doing this because of Ken."
I don't think he actually cares. It’s just his bruised ego talking. For God's sake, she walked away from him and now she's marrying someone else...And he definitely had a plan to bring her back, for sure.His heart just betrayed him... Ada completely won him over. 😍

Rhea... just keep grunting... we haven't posted on this forum since the beginning of the season, so we're finally catching up now. 😂

Honestly, what really got under my skin was that moment when he offered to pay her scholarship back. It just felt off.And she won't... I mean, what is there to act out now? She cries, she screams, she hates the guy just because of that scholarship, and now she's playing the "I've lost my mind" card to reject him. Honestly, nothing would have changed anyway—everything that happened would’ve gone down exactly the same regardless of whether she accepted or not—but still.😁)

Bold 1 - I don't know. Engin asks him if he loves her, and he just clutches his head like, "Forget about it." He had his chance to win her back right there on that terrace during their late-night talk. He starts rambling about how much he values his friendship with Ferit-Kaan, and she’s just sitting there thinking, *this matters to you?* instead of hearing him say, *why did I trust you so fast? Why did I leave you?* If he had just blinked at the right moment, she would have let everything go right then and there.

Bold 2 — yeah, when she rolls into ArtLife, she’s definitely not going to sit around waiting. She’ll just barge right into the meeting. I mean, I get it; he’s responsible for his staff. But still, he was cheated out of those scholarships.

Tony in that black shirt... seriously? 🙂I'm losing consciousness. This thing is incredible.

Tony! Is his name actually Tony? Like, does it sound like you're saying "tony" when you say it? 🤣

Grace Sanders24 said:Tony! Is his name actually Tony? Like, "don't bullsh*t me, Tony"? 🤣

Exactly 😁 ... and over in Turkey they have this slang where saying "Tony yok" basically means "stop bullsh*tting." And honestly, he does a whole lot of bullsh*tting with how he acts in certain episodes 😵.

He might come off as cold and calculated at first glance, but you can already tell by the first episode that he’s actually got a huge heart.

The guy was so determined to get to the bottom of that whole scholarship mistake and make things right immediately.
I mean, he totally tore that lawyer apart for it—honestly, it’s a shame he didn't just fire him on the spot.
Then, when he finds her bag in his car, he actually decides not to go digging through it for her ID just to find out her name, probably because he remembered her saying she didn't want him knowing it back in the hall.
He even slipped some first aid supplies into her bag 🙂 and I guess you could say he was still thinking about her later that night.
And that behavior on the plane? Just wonderful.

He is seriously such a cutie 🙂 and it's not just because he's charismatic.🙂

shadoworca5 said:Regarding Bold 1—I’m not so sure. When Engin asks him if he loves her, he just clutches his head and brushes it off. He really had the chance to win her back during that late-night conversation on the terrace. He starts talking about the friendship between Ferit-Kaan and her, which matters to her, but instead of being vulnerable, he avoids it. If he had just shown a little emotion right then, she would have dropped everything.

As for Bold 2—when she storms into ArtLife and interrupts the meeting, I get it. A boss should look out for his employees. But honestly, he was being a bit too harsh regarding those scholarships.

But Tony in that black shirt... 🙂. I can barely breathe. He looks incredible.

I didn't see it as a calculated plan. It felt more like his ego driving him to make her leave Ferit, even though his heart wasn't really in it. He was torn. In the end, Ken was just a side character in his attempt to push her away. You can tell when she mentions the wedding is only two months away; he looks at her with such sadness, like he's realizing he might actually lose her.
Then later... that scene on the beach where he wakes Edward up and brushes the sand out of her hair 😍
.
And did you notice how much he cleaned up mid-season? His hair and beard were so much longer back in the Gokca episodes.

shadoworca5 Tony in that black shirt—you know, the one where he’s got a few buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up? Honestly, it’s a complete game-changer. 🙂 Honestly, if they want to save this show, they need to bring back a character exactly like him for the new season. We need that specific energy back. 🙂
Honestly, his hair is just better. It’s that effortless look—the way he casually slides those sunglasses up and down like it’s nothing. It’s such a power move. 🙂
Can we please just bring back the version of Tony from the very beginning of the series? And honestly, I’m mostly talking about his look. 🙂

Is it just me, or did Keremac look way better when he was rocking that ginger hair? 🤔

It’s actually quite fascinating to me how I managed to let such a massive pile of things just slip my mind...
For instance, when Fifi refers to Tony Bolat as "abi" because he’s giving a speech at a graduation ceremony... I completely blanked on her calling him that.

But when Cenk says that moving to Italy turned him into a real man 😂 😂

shadoworca5 said:Exactly. 😁 People in America say "Tony is nothing," which basically means "stop bullshitting." And honestly? He talks a lot of shit with how he acts in certain episodes. 😵.

Brilliant. Does anyone actually know what Tony's zodiac sign is? 🤔

Brenda Perez3 said:He might come off as cold and calculating at first glance, but you can tell by the very first episode that he’s actually got a heart of gold.

He wanted to dig into that scholarship error immediately, looking to get everything straightened out right away.
He tore that lawyer apart for that—honestly, it’s a shame his boss didn't just fire him on the spot.
When he finds her bag in his car, he doesn't even bother checking her ID just to find out her name. He actually remembers her telling him back at the gym that he didn't deserve to know it.
He slipped a first aid kit into her bag ❤️ and then spent the rest of the evening with her on his mind.
Airplane behavior—just wonderful.

Pretty cute, honestly. 🙂 It’s not just about having charisma.

I agree. He might act like a total robot, but you could already see those warmer, deeper layers peeking through in the first episode. Like how he steps up to help her on the plane? Those flight scenes were top-tier. Everything about their conversation—the way they joke around and actually manage to laugh together—was great.

Angela Edwards3 said:I wasn't looking at his plan as some actual strategy... more like an ego trip. He just wanted her to walk away from Ferris. On top of that, her heart wasn't in it either. He was torn, sure, but let's be real: Ken was completely secondary to his own pride in that whole attempt to push her toward leaving. When she dropped that bombshell about the wedding being only two months away? The way he looked at her... it was just sad. Like the realization that he might actually lose her was finally sinking in.
And then there was that scene on the beach... when he wakes Ed up and starts brushing the sand out of her hair. Just... wow.

He went and got a haircut right in the middle of the epic. Now his hair and beard are way too long in Georgia.

Yeah, he looked pretty miserable there once he realized the wedding is only two months away. But man, seeing the way he looks at Ed when she first wakes up and gives him that smile... that part was actually pretty sweet.
I just don't get it. When exactly did that friendship between Serkan-Ken and Barry go south? Back when they were kids, they were actually solid friends... back then, they were just Jeremy and Barry. 🤔. ... 🤣

northernheron6 said:shadoworca5 Serkan in that black shirt—the one slightly unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled up? *Flirty.* Seriously, if they don't bring him back looking exactly like that for the new season, I'm going to be disappointed. 🙂
His hair looks better too. Especially when he does that nonchalant thing where he keeps taking those sunglasses off. Just eating.
Bring back the Serkan from the start of the series... at least in terms of how he looked. :trep :

Is it just me, or did Jeremy look better when he was more of a ginger? 🤔

I’m with you on that. He looked great. Though he’s already back to wearing his glasses. I’m just crossing my fingers for a heatwave this summer so he finally shaves that hair off. Maybe it only looked ginger because his skin got darker; his hair might lighten up once summer hits.

Grace Sanders24 said:Brilliant. Does anyone know what Serkan's zodiac sign is? 🤔

Hmm, if his birthday is in August or September... he's either a Leo or a Virgo. 🤔
