She is in the leading cast of the festival movie Bildiğin Gibi Değil, directed by Vuslat Saraçoğlu, which will be released soon.
While actor Yigit Kirazci is taking part in the series The Ivy on TOD won the "Best Supporting Actor" award for his performance in the film "Baba Neredesin Kayboldum" which competed at the International Milan Film Festival. Kirazcı, also played the main role in the movies İyi Oyun and Ask Tesadufleri Sever 2, is currently starring in the phenomenal series Kızılcık Şerbeti.
To a question: Yigit, Hazal and Burcin, could you provide some insight into how your characters' personalities and relationship dynamics evolve as the series progresses? Burcin Terzioglu said: “Since the episodes have not yet been aired, I will choose my words very carefully so as not to spoil your viewing pleasure and excitement. As the episodes move forward, you will watch a woman who has normalized her experiences, who endures everything for her son, who loves her husband, who is loved or thinks so, who is constantly manipulated, wakes up to a nightmarish life in which she does not even know whether she is a victim or a murderer in the face of what she hears and sees.”
Yigit Kirazci said: “My character, Özgür is married and divorced, has a daughter. He is a commissioner in the homicide bureau, so he is a very responsible, down-to-earth person. In the following episodes, the realities of his personal life and office work will become entangled. The biggest reason for this spiral is Ezgi.”
While Hazal Türesan said: “I play the role of Arzu who becomes more complex and mysterious as the series progresses. While her relationship with Ezgi deepens, her already distant relationships with other characters become even more insurmountable with prejudices. While all this is going on, Arzu is going through a great transformation.”
To another questioned Burcin, how did you prepare for your role as the wife battling the fear of a mental illness while discovering unsettling truths? Burcin Terzioglu said: “I just empathized with Ezgi. When such things happen to a woman, when she doesn't know who she can trust and who she can't, when she feels so helpless, everything can turn into a mind game for her between the walls she is trapped in. Knowing this was the biggest part of the preparation.”
