Longest running Turkish series with record breaking ratings over a decade, now available as a format. A funny and heartwarming family comedy series about a married couple, who only agree to disagree.
Haluk and Meltem are an upper-middle class urban couple. They are married for 16 years, and they have two children. Duygu is a thirteen years old teenager, and Emre (nicknamed Carrot) is a ten years old boy. Haluk and Meltem’s personalities are quite different. Haluk is a macho and old-fashioned man, particularly when it comes to men and women relationships and hence he calls himself a “tough guy”. Meltem is, on the contrary, a self-sufficient, self- conscious idealist, modern woman who desperately tries to make her marriage more romantic. The elementary difference between them manifests itself in every detail of everyday life and constantly gives rise to problems in their marriage.
When it comes to kids though, they are both equally sensitive. They decided never to fight in front of the kids. They continue to argue in the kitchen, when they realize, the argument will heat up. The “kitchen” has become a keyword for such occasions, and everyone, including kids, knows it. Even though their disagreement reaches to such a point, that they consider divorce; they find ways to avoid it for the sake of their children. What they never admit is that they are in love with each other, and this is the real reason they don’t divorce.
Our couple’s best friends Light Selami ve Dominant Gonul is completely a different couple. Light Selami is very romantic and caring and Gonul is the decision maker. They contrast each other and Meltem tries to convince Haluk to be more like Selami.
