Airing in 2021 on Kanal D, Baht Oyunu (“Game of Luck”) is a light-hearted romantic comedy that blends fate, mistaken identities, and emotional growth into a refreshing summer series. Directed by Serdar Gözelekli and produced by ARC Film, the show quickly won over audiences with its charming cast, quick-witted humor, and a premise built around one stubborn belief: that a woman can only fall in love once, and that first love determines everything.
Ada is a lively, determined young woman who grew up believing in a family superstition: if you don’t end up with your first love, you’re doomed to never find true happiness. After being abandoned by her first love just before marriage, Ada is heartbroken, and desperate to win him back. But when she crosses paths with Bora, a sharp-tongued editor-in-chief with no interest in love, her life takes a chaotic turn. What begins as a game of pretending and rivalry slowly evolves into something much more real than either of them expected.
Baht Oyunu plays with themes like fate vs. free will, romantic ideals vs. reality, and personal growth through unexpected challenges. It’s also about breaking free from the stories we tell ourselves—and discovering that love doesn’t always follow the rules we think it should.
With its witty dialogue, great chemistry between the leads, and feel-good energy, Baht Oyunu is a delightful watch for fans of modern romantic comedies. It offers just the right balance of humor, heart, and slow-burn romance, making it perfect for a light binge with a meaningful message tucked underneath the laughter.
