Every now and then, you come across a show that completely takes you by surprise. Ada Masali transports viewers to Kirlangic Island, a real island also known as Alonnisos in Greek, where the fictional story is set. This film was shot in Sigacik, Turkey, in the Izmir region, and features some of the most spectacular cinematography from director Ali Bilgin (Medcezir, Delibal). Ada Masali, on the other hand, is more than just a visual feast, with its emphasis on environmental protection, simple ways of life, and a love of community.


The story begins in Ada Masali Turkish123 Istanbul's bustling streets, where city girl Haziran (Ayca Aysin Turan) leads a fast-paced and success-driven life. Meanwhile, on the island, we meet Poyraz (Alp Navruz), a hardworking, community-minded man who appreciates the finer things in life. When Haziran travels to the island (also her ancestral home) on business, she encounters long-lost relatives as well as a slew of colourful characters, including the handsome but reserved Poyraz.


This dizi romance begins with a lie, as do many in the romcom genre, but the similarities with other dizis end there. With a beautiful backdrop, the viewer is taken on an enchanting journey through the duo's triumphs and tribulations in a refreshingly unstereotypical manner.


Plot of Ada Masali (Island Tale)

To make amends for her lie and subsequent harm to Poyraz, Haziran decides to forego city life for a few months in order to renovate and reopen a hotel owned in part by her family and in part by Poyraz'. She hopes to not only recoup the funds needed by Poyraz to repay the loan for his olive oil factory, but also to assist her fashion designer mother in getting out of debt. As co-owners, the diametrically opposed pair must learn to collaborate and, in doing so, value the other's talents and strengths.


While adjusting to the quirks of village culture, Haziran begins to appreciate things she previously took for granted and enjoy things she previously vowed she detested. Her warming to island life is mirrored in the way she warms to Poyraz, who appears to be a cold and detached man at first glance, but upon closer inspection is revealed to be very selfless and sensitive. Poyraz, on the other hand, is at home overseeing the grunt work of fixing and maintaining the hotel. Haziran and her Istanbulite pals who have come to help bring Sandal Agaci Otel to life challenge his methods. Poyraz is also surrounded by lifelong friends who, like him, rely on the volatile tourism industry. Despite clashes, the two groups eventually merge, creating a sometimes amusing, sometimes messy, pseudo family.


People on the island who have known Poyraz his entire life begin to notice a change in him. They have always supported him and recognised his good heart despite his sometimes brusque personality. Since Haziran's arrival, he appears to be crossing his own boundaries more frequently or tolerating things he would not have tolerated previously. Some admire and encourage this transformation and the growing feelings between him and Haziran, while others do everything they can to crush the buds of their true love at every turn. However, in true romantic fashion, these adversities appear to have the opposite effect intended and only serve to strengthen the pair's bond.


Despite their differences, Poyraz and Haziran show an incredible amount of respect for each other as they face the challenges of business ownership and island issues. When deep-seated insecurities and traumas surface, they rely on and seek support from one another. As they navigate the ever-changing tides of life and relationships, their understanding of each other's quirks and flaws grows. In this brief and tumultuous period, they experience a one-of-a-kind and profound love. However, new and worsening obstacles will put their bond to the test and push them to their personal limits. Will they be able to cross the bridge together? Or will they crumble under the strain?
