It's a fictional story written by one of famous Turkish script writers Ece Yörenç and Melek Gençoğlu. And I specifically adored the character of Rahimi (Bulent Seyran). LOVED all the characters - villains and heroes. Other than the above, I LOVED the beautiful views of Turkey. I suggest that readers research on her story before watching Fatmagul. Fatmagul reminds me of the real life story of Mukhtara Mai, a Pakistani rape victim. Sure, the novel may have had a different story, and I can understand why that would cause people to downgrade the show, but it still doesn't justify poor ratings. Secondly, it is good to see a show based around a story that is more common in real life than people like to think. Give her any role, and she'll give the best performance one could expect from an actress.

Firstly, Beren Saat is a fantastic actress.

Of course! It's not as saucy or racy as shows like Ask-i-memnu, and the story probably hits home, too. But when I saw the breakdown of votes by gender and age, it was no surprise to me that a lot of young males seemed to have given this show poor ratings. As someone who has recently started watching Turkish shows, I couldn't help but wonder why Ask-i-Memnu has a higher rating on IMDb than Fatmagul considering that this story is not only realistic, but also the story of a plethora of women around the world.
