TRT1 has released the first official image featuring Ilayda Alishan and Berk Bakioğlu together. This pair debuts in the upcoming family drama 'Evlilik Güzeldir' (which translates to 'Marriage is Beautiful'), giving viewers a first look at their characters, Yasemin and Sinan, ahead of the highly anticipated series premiere.
This new dramatic series, which airs on Mondays, was created for TRT1 and is one of the broadcaster's largest projects. It has attracted attention due to its family-focused storyline and large cast. The series is directed by Şafak Bal and Serap Danış Koçak, with the screenplay written by Baykut Badem, Hasan Tolga Pulat, Hazan Toma, and Seçil Çömlekçi.
The new promotional photo highlights the chemistry between Ilayda Alishan and Berk Bakioğlu, who represent the younger generation of actors in the show. Their characters, Yasemin and Sinan, are expected to play an important role in the emotional and romantic storylines that will unfold throughout the series.
The central figure of 'Evlilik Güzeldir' is Mesut Bahtiyar, played by veteran actor Fikret Kuşkan. Mesut works as a marriage registrar and has dedicated his life to observing the happiest days of countless couples. Ironically, while helping others start family life, he himself faces the daily joys and challenges of managing his large family.
The plot revolves around Mesut, who lives under one roof with his five daughters, mother, and brother-in-law, creating a warm, humorous, and emotional family atmosphere. By exploring themes of love, marriage, kinship, self-sacrifice, misunderstandings, and the changing dynamics of modern relationships across different generations living together, the series addresses deep social issues.
TRT1 positions 'Evlilik Güzeldir' as a touching family drama that blends romance, comedy, and everyday life. Instead of focusing on crime or action, the series aims to tell relatable stories based on family values, generational differences, and the importance of commitment.
The production can also boast one of the strongest casts of the new television season. In addition to Ilayda Alishan, Berk Bakioğlu, and Fikret Kuşkan, the series features Hande Soral, Seçkin Özdemir, Yusuf Çim, Nil Süde Albayrak, Gözde Ökur, Ferit Aktuğ, Anıl Çelik, Sera Tokdemir, Hazım Kırmyokçu, Öznur On, Hande Katipoğlu, Derda Yasır Yenal, Kansu Savcı, Feride Bağ, Alper Haliloğlu, Uğur Akaya, Selin Soydan, Hayal Garip, Alihan Demirbilek, Sıla Gözyum, Anastasia Heptina, and Yıldız Kültür.
The release of the first official photograph caused excitement among Turkish television viewers, especially those eager to see Ilayda Alishan and Berk Bakioğlu on screen for the first time. Their duo is expected to become one of the key connections in the drama as the story develops.
