'Yaz Şarkısı', or 'Summer Song,' is a riveting new Turkish romantic comedy series that has captivated audiences with its intricate plotlines and compelling characters. The story revolves around Yaz, a vibrant young woman who embarks on a daring venture unbeknownst to the famous singer, Kemal.
Yaz hopes that her ambitious endeavor, with some strategic advice from Aslı, will elevate her in Kemal's eyes, perhaps even leading him to fall in love with her. Kemal's sole goal these days is a partnership with the American music company, Smile, and a duet that will announce this collaboration to the world. However, the secrets Yaz is unaware of cause this plan to disastrously backfire, not only shattering her chances of earning Kemal's affection but also costing her job. Now, Yaz finds herself losing not only her love and her job, but also the chance to fulfill her father's dream.
For Kemal, time is also running out. He must present Smile Music with a finished song and a new female vocalist to perform the duet with him within days. While all the demos collected from singers and influencers under KM Music result in failure, a secretly obtained recording by Murat upends the situation.
Murat, who has been Kemal's savior since their high school days, manages to rescue Kemal once again with his lyrics and compositions. Although Murat saves Kemal, he corners himself pretty badly. While everyone is secretly trying to carve out their path, fate has new plans for them all...
Meanwhile, Yaz's mother Emine, who believes that her beloved daughter Gülbeyaz (Yaz) is a banker, dreams of the day she'll return home and take over the management of the vast tea gardens inherited from their ancestors. Consequently, Yaz hides her job at KM Music from her mother and can't bring herself to reveal her newfound unemployment.
The relationship between Kemal and Yaz, marked by longing, ambition, and misunderstandings, forms the crux of the romantic comedy. Their chemistry, brought to life by the performances of Mustafa Mert Koç and Nilsu Berfin Aktaş, has resonated deeply with viewers.
On the other hand, Murat, played brilliantly by Efekan Can, emerges as the unsung hero, constantly rescuing Kemal but often trapping himself in complicated situations. His character arc, layered with sacrifice and selflessness, adds an extra depth to the series.
