Old Money, a captivating series featuring Aslı Enver and Engin Akyurek in leading roles, has been released on Netflix. This series, currently holding the title of the most-watched show in Turkey on Netflix, showcases Aslı Enver in the role of Nihal, a character embroiled in a struggle to protect her family's wealth. The show has been described by international critics as an 'old-fashioned, intrigue-filled love story'.
Penned by Meric Acemi and directed by Uluc Bayraktar, the series features Aslı Enver as Nihal and Engin Akyurek as Osman. Nihal emerges as the heir of a well-established seafaring family and a diplomat representing the old wealthy class, while Osman, on the other hand, is portrayed as a driven businessman who has built his fortune from scratch.
The eight-part series has clinched the 4th spot on Netflix's global list, and it has also made its way into the top 10 most-watched productions in as many as 56 countries, including Austria, Italy, Brazil, Spain, and Greece.
The American entertainment and pop culture website, Decider, characterized 'A Splendid Evening' as 'an old-school Turkish series. It's a classic soap opera, brimming with intense competition, intrigue, sexual tension, and emotional volatility. Stunning scenes, shots taken on boats... What more could one ask for from a series?'
US Magazine highlighted Aslı Enver's character with the following commentary:
'Nihal is the heart and soul of 'A Splendid Evening'. Although she appears reserved and distant in the scene of her return from France to Istanbul, we see her true character when she takes off her dark coat and begins to repair an old speedboat. The chemistry between the lead characters is simply dazzling. The female lead is a true magnet of attraction. The dynamic between them lends the series both a classic and modern intensity. You too get swept up in their love and the power struggles surrounding them.'
