She portrayed the character's psychology so well that I believe she will become one of the industry's most important actresses, just like one of us ". During its broadcast, the series became one of the most frequently complained about, and some of these complaints were issued by RTÜK on occasion and were rejected by some ministers. Saat rose to international prominence after the show was broadcast around the world, particularly in the Middle East and Europe.
