Haysiyet series premieres on Kanal D

The new Kanal D series ‘Haysiyet’ has premiered, centering on the complicated romance between Mehmet and Simay, two individuals from vastly different social backgrounds. The story explores themes of honor, class differences, and family conflict as the lives of the working-class Karlıova family and the wealthy Tarman family intersect.

Lead actors Doğukan Güngör and Merih Öztürk have received significant attention for their performances. The production also features Kerem Alışık, whose portrayal of Sadık Karlıova has been compared to classic Turkish cinema archetypes. The series is noted for its musical score by Kıraç and its filming locations in Istanbul's Balat district.

While viewers have speculated about the story's origins, the production is a completely original fictional script and not an adaptation of a book or a true life story. The series has already generated considerable social media engagement regarding its characters and its nostalgic, ‘Yeşilçam-style’ atmosphere.
