Thank You, Next (Kimler Geldi Kimler Gecti): A Modern Turkish Drama on Love, Law, and Letting Go
What happens when your heart breaks, and your career soars? Netflix’s latest Turkish series Thank You, Next (Kimler Geldi Kimler Gecti) answers that question with elegance, emotion, and a dash of irony.
Set against the vibrant urban backdrop of Istanbul and the serene beauty of Bolu and Antalya, this romantic Turkish drama introduces us to Leyla Taylan, a radiant, intelligent, and spirited 30-year-old lawyer played by Serenay Sarıkaya. But don’t let her glamorous exterior fool you—Leyla is in the middle of an emotional freefall.
The Fall Before the Rise
The series begins with heartbreak. Leyla ends a long-term relationship with her first love, Ömer (Metin Akdülger), after discovering his betrayal—an infidelity born out of pandemic-induced closeness that turned their home into a pressure cooker of unresolved tension. Who could have predicted that love would unravel not with a bang, but with an isolating lockdown?
Instead of wallowing, Leyla takes a bold leap: she leaves their shared home and steps back into the chaotic world of modern dating. Here, Thank You, Next cleverly dissects the paradoxes of contemporary romance—love bombing, ghosting, false intimacy, and fleeting passion.
A New Chapter, A New Challenge
On a much-needed getaway with friends, Leyla meets Feyyaz (Boran Kuzum), a brooding, charming chef with soulful eyes and secrets simmering beneath the surface. Their chemistry? Instant. Their story? A slow burn—one that reignites her hope in love.
But just as the embers start to glow, duty calls. Leyla takes on a sensational case that the tabloids dub “the divorce of the year”. Her client? A wealthy socialite. Her opponent? The enigmatic Cem Murathan (Hakan Kurtaş), a suave entrepreneur infamous for his lavish lifestyle and romantic escapades—three marriages, three divorces, and a trail of broken hearts.
When Work Becomes Personal
Here’s where the Turkish drama intensifies. As Leyla navigates the courtroom, she also navigates a confusing attraction to Cem. Is it admiration? Intrigue? Or a dangerous cocktail of both? While defending her client against Cem’s manipulation, she begins to question her own judgment, emotions, and vulnerabilities.
And then there’s Ömer—her past, never quite in the past. In quiet moments, his name lingers. Regret flares. Memories surface. Can she forgive him? Or is the trust forever broken?
A Turkish Series That Mirrors Modern Love
Thank You, Next masterfully captures the emotional messiness of modern relationships. This isn’t just a tale of heartbreak and rebound—it’s a study in human behavior, from attachment theory to emotional resilience. The series shows how trauma, timing, and trust all play roles in how—and who—we choose to love.
Much like the architecture of Istanbul—where centuries-old mosques meet sleek, modern skylines—this Turkish series blends tradition with innovation. While rooted in emotional depth, it pulses with the energy of today’s dating dilemmas.
Ensemble Cast, Stellar Performances
Beyond the leads, the supporting characters add richness and texture:
-
Ahmet Rıfat Şungar as Sarp, a calming presence amid Leyla’s chaos.
-
Esra Ruşan as Esra, the friend who always tells it like it is.
-
Meric Aral, Zeynep Tuğçe Bayat, and Bade İşçil round out an ensemble that brings authenticity and flair to every episode.
Each 45-minute chapter unpacks another layer of Leyla’s journey—both legal and emotional. With Ece Yörenç’s sharp screenplay and Bertan Başaran’s cinematic direction, Thank You, Next is a compelling Turkish drama that blends romance, realism, and humor into a binge-worthy experience.
Final Verdict: Should You Watch? Absolutely.
Whether you’re a fan of Kiralık Aşk, Love 101, or Aşk-ı Memnu, this Turkish series will hit home. It’s relatable, heartfelt, and unafraid to ask hard questions:
What does love look like in the 2020s? Can we ever truly move on? And is heartbreak a setback—or a beginning?
In Thank You, Next, the answers lie not in fairy tales, but in the beautifully messy truth of real life.
