Pearl Grains / İnci Taneleri

This week, the D channel introduced viewers to Yılmaz Erdoğan’s new series “Pearl Grains / İnci Taneleri,” which caused a real stir in Turkish ratings, becoming one of the most successful premieres in recent years.

The series “Pearl Grains / İnci Taneleri” brought Yılmaz Erdoğan back to television screens. After a twenty-year hiatus, the actor presented the audience with a show in which he not only played the lead role, but also wrote the script. This made the encounter with the series especially interesting.

The first episode, aired on Thursday, January 25, captured the top spot in the total ratings with a result of nearly 9%, causing significant excitement and discussion on social media. Only a few Turkish series have started with such brilliant results. However, Yılmaz Erdoğan is one of the most well-known Turkish actors, directors, writers, and producers, whose preference is filmmaking, and his return to television created a buzz.

The actor admitted that the audience reactions, which began before the premiere, were very encouraging. He always wanted to write a story that resembled real life, and the series gave him that opportunity. It includes both tragic events and funny moments, just like in real life.

Hazar Ergüçlü, who embodied the character Dilber on the screen, caused a sensation with a promotional video featuring her dance in the pavilion, attracting viewers to the screens. She confessed that she did not expect such discussion, but is very happy and hopeful for success.
