Kurt Seyit ve Şura

I am not a person that typically likes watching Soap Operas, and the night dramas  I do enjoy are usually The Blacklist, and Bates Motel. However, I am watching Kurt Seyit ve Şura, and I really recommend this particular series. 
Kurt Seyit (Seyit the Wolf and Shura) is based on a book that is in a three set series, written by Nermin Bezmen. Nermin Bezmen is a Turkish woman, born in 1954. She wrote 15 books, and three of her books were about Seyit the Wolf, who is a Crimean Turk, set in the early 1900's right before WWI and in the Russian Revolution, following Seyit's life from being raised in the Crimean region, getting called off to fight in the WWI, dragged to Istanbul, and in the meantime falling deeply in love with a Russian Noble woman. He has to fight in the War, while trying to make his parents (Land owners who are Crimean Turks) happy, as they want him to marry a Turk, and not a Russian. At the meantime, the one he loves is a noble woman and is expected to marry a Russian noble man. 
The series takes place in Petrograd, Russia (Saint Petersburg, Russia), The Crimean region, and Istanbul, Turkey. After some internet searching, and reading some News from Turkey, I found that the TV Series is filmed in ST Petersburg, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Istanbul. (Which makes sense because the region of the Black Sea I saw, and what Annanne had said to me about where she lived, looked very familiar.) The scenery is beautiful, and the costumes are true to the times, and I think (imho) that, the producers tried to create to best of their knowledge what was happening in the times with the people and the tensions between the Turks and the Russians, and they did a really good job in portraying the tumultuous times in the region. The author, Nermin Bezmen, from what I am reading about, wrote this story about her great grandfather, Seyid The Wolf Eminof, who, to escape death, snuck into Turkey, giving weapons to the General Kemal Atatürk, and  in return Kemal helped him. He was such a great fighter, and well known on both sides of the war for his greatness. Nermin Bezmen wrote the story of her great grandfather and great grandmother with details of the war times, and also as their great love for each other.
