Can Yaman International Presents: Bay Yanlis: Analysis of Episodes

Episode 3: "Honest Truth"

At the end of Episode 2:  The moment she (Ezgi) said that, Ozgur's logical state of mind disappeared. Instead of trying to persuade her, he lashed out at her and advised her that he was cancelling their agreement altogether. Now it was her turn to get mad. And she did. He twisted everything around and now blamed her for it? As if! She would show him just how much she needed him. She did not need him one bit! Little did she know that he would come to mean more to her than any other man in her life.

There is a peculiar thing about challenges one faces in their life. Those challenges would not be overcome until and unless one is completely honest with oneself about them. Completely honest. Because as much as one pushes the aspect of the challenge aside, it does not go away. But the moment one decides to face the challenge head on and admit what needs to be admitted, one realizes that the challenge they faced did not crush them - it made them grow into the person they were meant to become.

**********

Özgür did not know whether he should laugh at the cruel virtue of life or banish Ozan for hiring the one and only woman who ever got under his skin so deep that it itched to the very core. Perhaps even deeper. The moment Özgür left his apartment, he was furious at Ezgi. His temper flared sky high at the fact that she refused to cancel her date with Dr. Serdar so they could leave for his sister's wedding on Friday. He blamed her. Only her. He was still fuming when he got to his soon-to-open restaurant. Even Ozan saw something wasn't right. Özgür replied that he had the worst of possible mornings because of the woman he was supposed to take to his sister's wedding but now was not.

Ozan understood his frustration and advised his best friend that he called him over to the restaurant because he had something that would make Özgür's day. And he was not mistaken one bit. The moment Ezgi walked into the restaurant, Özgür's day was made. And boy, was it. Ozan had to admit that he never saw Özgür react with so much emotion and anger. Never. Which made him wonder. But... he told Özgür she would stay as their new PR coordinator and left the two of them to figure out their situation.

And they did. They lashed out at one another in a fiery exchange of words that would have made Ozan's ears burn if he witnessed it. Özgür accused Ezgi of following him around, and she accused him of not giving her enough credit to search and find work all on her own. He did not believe her that she did not know where she was going to work, or for whom. She could not believe he couldn't even give her that much credit. But he said something that not only hit her more than she let it show. It hurt her.

Ezgi left the restaurant mad, disappointed, and most of all hurt. But that paled in comparison with the inexplicable pain she felt when she decided to visit Cansu and Dr. Serdar. Instead of feeling better, her world fell apart when she saw Soner and his new fiancé leave Dr. Serdar's office with a clear indication that his new object of affection was pregnant. It did not matter to Ezgi that she fell. What mattered was that her heart fell down to the floor along with her. She was glad she ran into Cansu at the hospital. She needed her cousin's shoulder at that very moment. But no matter how much Cansu tried, nothing eased the pain in Ezgi's heart. She was never a bad person, so why was she being deprived of the one happiness she strived for in the form of love?

After Ezgi left the hospital feeling restless and hurt, she began to recall Ozgür's harsh words. He told her something that got to her in a way that made her realize something about herself. He told her that regardless of the time it would take him to "fix" her problem with men, it wouldn't just take three months because even after three years, she would still be stuck with the person she was. That hurt her but it also did something else. It made her think and evaluate not only what she was looking for in life but what kind of a person she was herself. She walked the streets of Istanbul and for the first time in her life, she put the issue of finding a man aside. This time she thought of herself. Only about herself.
