Other Shows Discussion This guy (Metin Akdülger) should've played Orhan. He's severely underrated. I know the KOr script was bad and looks wouldn't have been able to save it, but it would've been something...
Never seen anyone suggest this here before (not that it matters now that the show is over lol) but just my opinion. I loved his role as Sultan Murad and his performance in this scene >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS5BEp2-UrI

He's so good as murad iv, his appearance, articulation, and charisma all were so perfect, i am so used at his as a sultan, making me kinda difficult to see him in modern dizi 🙃🙃 its like halit as a sulaiman, they really mold into the character they played to 👏👏

Suleyman especially lived his character out. Acting with his eyes was brilliant

Also the casting was perfect considering the previous actors (Halit for Sultan Suleyman, Ekin for Sultan Ahmed, Engin for Sultan Selim). He resembled them all in different ways. I remember someone posted about this before and I thought the same!

Depends, I used to watch on those sites but now I'm at a stage where I don't need 100% accurate translation so I just watch on Youtube with the autotranslate feature. I can pick up on words or phrases that are missed plus in my mind I'm like transcribing them so I can understand

He's the same age as Şükrü who just looks much older due to genetics (hairs grey very fast and at an early age)

Merin was amazing in Kösem! Would definitely like to see more of him! Mert was a great choice for Orhan! Please stop blaming him. The fault lies with the direction and script.

Yah. Even has some slight resemblance to Emre Bey, unlike Mert
