## Synopsis

To Love, To Lose (Ayrılık da Sevdaya Dahil) (2026-present) is a Turkish romantic drama series created by Yavuz Turgul and distributed on Netflix. The story follows a woman fighting to save her family restaurant who falls for the surly heir of a debt collector, a bond that puts two families on a collision course. Lead actor İbrahim Çelikkol plays Kemal, and the principal cast also includes Eminé Meyrem, Yasemin Kay Allen and Tarik Pabuccuoglu. The engine of the show is the tension between a romance that feels fated and the financial pressures and family loyalties pulling the lovers apart, with each episode built around debts, confrontations and secret feelings. Told across a single eight-episode season of roughly fifty-three minutes each, it is a contained, serialized story where the emotional arc moves steadily forward. Set in contemporary Turkey, its atmosphere is emotionally heightened and melancholic, with tender moments balanced against rising family conflict. Fans of Kara Sevda and Romeo and Juliet will find resonance in its forbidden love and feuding households, and viewers who enjoy turkish melodrama will feel at home.
