Mistakes Threaten Success of Gönül Mountain Series
The popular Turkish TV series, Gönül Mountain, is facing a decline in its ratings. The series, which airs on TRT1 on Saturday evenings, has been receiving ratings well below double-digits, dropping down to 7 ratios in its 93rd episode. The audience has been expressing their disappointment on social media, stating that the story is becoming monotonous and repetitive.
The production team has been working on expanding the storylines and introducing new elements to keep the audience engaged. However, the efforts have not been effective in preventing the decline in the ratings.
One of the major shortcomings pointed out by the viewers is the absence of the character Dilek, played by Gülsim Ali İlhan, in the third season. The lead character, Taner, played by Berk Atan, has been carrying the burden of the show, but it is necessary to bring in a famous actress to support him and introduce a new storyline.
The side characters of the show have been remarkable and pleasing to the audience, but the main storyline needs to be renewed. The series tells a strong story of life in Anatolia’s steppe, but the lack of innovation can lead to a decline in the ratings.
Though the warm weather may contribute to a further decline in the ratings, there is still hope for the show’s success. With a good story arrangement and new and effective actors, the Gönül Mountain series can continue with successful results in its fourth season. The production team needs to take into account the audience’s feedback and introduce innovative elements to keep them engaged. Otherwise, the great success of the show may remain just a sweet memory of the past.
