Afra Saraçoğlu ditches ‘Yalı Çapkını' flame for Engin Akyürek in bold new romance series
ALBAWABA - Afra Saraçoğlu stirs controversy with steamy new role alongside Engin Akyürek. The miniseries Istanbul My Love, which starred Afra Saraçoğlu and Engin Akyurek, debuted on Go Türkiye's official YouTube channel on June 24, 2025. In the center of Istanbul, it blends the enchantment of technology with the ambiance of love. Ten little episodes, each no more than three minutes in length, make up the series, which is directed by Ozan Aciktan and employs a creative narrative that combines technology and human emotions. The protagonist of the tale is a young businesswoman (Afra) who thinks that love can be programmed through an artificial intelligence program she created. She approaches Tan, a prosperous but emotionally distant businessman (played by Engin Akyurek), with the concept, and he challenges her to find him true love in three dates. He'll put money into her business if the program works. The two go on an emotional trip that alters their perspective on relationships as the experiment progresses. The most crucial query still stands: Does love exist in the specifics of the city itself, or can it be programmed? Istanbul My Love Youtube The series, which was shot entirely in Istanbul, is as much a narrative examination of fate and emotions as it is a visual ode to the city. Through famous sites including Çırağan Palace, the Rixos Tirsan Hotel, Galataport, the Atatürk Cultural Center in Taksim, Karaköy, the Bosphorus, and Beyoğlu, it transports spectators on a sensory adventure. Yasemin Kay Allen and Ilayda Akdoğan are also included in the series, which gives the narrative more dramatic depth while fusing Istanbul's beauty, history, and soul into a contemporary love story. Istanbul My Love YouTube The show is a component of an international digital effort that aims to introduce Istanbul to viewers in Europe and the Middle East. The project blends the sophistication of digital love with the charm of the old city, showcasing stunning images and a heartfelt story. The official Go Türkiye YouTube channel is presently offering Istanbul, My Love for free viewing. With the hashtag related to the show trending in multiple countries, "Istanbul My Love" has been a big success on social media. Comments from the audience praised the obvious chemistry between Afra Saraçoğlu and Engin Akyürek. Istanbul My Love YouTube "Their coordination is ooof" and "Afra literally suits everyone" were two of the most well-liked remarks. One fan commented, "They're really lovely. Take them into account for his upcoming series. Still another said, "They're so pretty, and their coordination is wonderful." Despite this excitement, others said they preferred Afra's acting relationship with Engin in the new series above her chemistry with Mert Ramazan Demir in "Yalı Çapkını" (The Kingfisher), citing the latter's stronger chemistry.
