Deur Dik en Dun which wrapped last year.
It's also going to air on eExtra, as an omnibus on Sundays from 15h20.
It tells the story of Sanem, who has to make a no-brainer decision in her quest to become a famous writer.
When her parents give her a choice to either get a proper job or enter into an arranged marriage, Sanem rushes to get a job as an intern at the advertising agency her sister Leyla works at.
There she gets into adventures with the boss, Can, starting a chain of events that end up with her falling in love with him.
All this happens to a backdrop of Cain and Abel, stirred with espionage.
Can's brother Emre wants to be boss of their family company but their father Aziz chooses Can. Emre believes he should be in charge instead and plans to make Can fail.
Add Emre's competitive ex-girlfriend to the mix and a corporate spy in the company and Sanem finds herself navigating a world of trouble.
Can she make it out with her heart intact?
