[edit] Story
Rich widower Adnan Ziyagil lives in a mansion on the shore of Istanbul's bosporus strait with his two children Nihal and Bülent, playboy Behlül, who is a distant relative, and the children’s nanny Deniz. When Adnan meets Bihter, a much younger woman, he suddenly falls in love with her. Bihter is also a socialite couple’s daughter and agrees to marry him thinking this as a form of revenge against her mother Firdevs who fancies Adnan. Despite opposition from Adnan's children and Firdevs, the marriage goes ahead. It received high praise during it's original run and were one of favourite tv shows of its time.
