Esra always swore she would never marry a man like her father, whose business failures left her family bankrupt and struggling all through her youth.
Then she met Ozan, a bright young engineer entering the civil service.
The two married and led a comfortable, stable life — until the day Ozan quit his government job to start his own company.
Soon Esra is juggling three jobs just to keep the family afloat, while Ozan bounces from one bankruptcy to another resulting in Esra asking for a divorce.
Years later, Ozan's face is plastered over every newspaper, magazine and news show.
His social media app has made Ozan insanely rich, a tech celebrity, and one of Turkey's most eligible bachelors.
Esra is still hustling to keep her head above water when she runs into Ozan.
Expecting an apology, Esra is furious when Ozan acts cold and arrogant instead.
Esra decides that she will wheedle her way into Ozan's company, make him fall in love with her and when he does – she'll dump him.
Nothing goes according to plan, however, and before long the two exes end up in a shaky love quadrangle with hilarious consequences.
True love gets a second chance as our leads realise they were wrong about each other all along.

Dear Mama
Channel: Disney+
TX Time: 00h01
Genre: Documentary Series
A deeply personal five-part series that defies the conventions of traditional documentary storytelling to share an illuminating saga of mother and son, Afeni and Tupac Shakur.
Afeni Shakur was a revolutionary, an intellect and a voice for the people.
She became a feminist darling of the '70s, a female leader in the movement amidst the macho milieu of the Black Panther Party.
Tupac was a rapper and poet, a political visionary and philosopher who became known as one of the greatest rap artists of all time.
In addition to becoming a global sex symbol and media favourite for his outspoken and sometimes outrageous antics, he would eventually become the poster child for modern Black activism.
Their story chronicles the possibilities and contradictions of the United States from a time of revolutionary fervour to Hip Hop culture's most ostentatious decade.
Dear Mama is both an audio and visual experience.
Tupac's timeless message is undeniable as beats evaporate into soundscapes and his lyrics revealed to be mantras of passion and politics.
It eschews strict chronology for a style that slides back and forth in time, finding linkages between mother and son, 1970s and 1990s, black activism and hip hop, that highlight how much has and has not changed in the struggle for human rights.
Through this technique, the eras speak to each other and melt time away, shifting the dual narratives into one definitive portrait of a global superstar and the woman who shaped him, forever linked by love and fate.
