After a very, and we mean VERY, long brainstorming session, FOX's remake of the Korean rom-com Cunning Single Lady finally found its Turkish title and it is Aşk Mantık İntikam.

The highly-anticipated summer rom-com began production on May 17, with Murat Öztürk directing and Özlem İnci Hekimoğlu and Nil Güleç Ünsal. The series stars İlhan Şen, Burcu Özberk, Burak Yörük and Melisa Döngel; as well as Günay Karacaoğlu, Zeynep Kankonde, Süleyman Atanısev, Mehmet Korhan Fırat, Sevda Baş, Ceren Koç, Birgül Ulusoy, Tarık Şerbetçioğlu and Mehmet Yılmaz.

As with the original, the remake follows the female protagonist as she tries to win back the heart of her now rich ex-husband. 

When Esra* (Burcu Özberk) met Ozan (İlhan Şen), she worked as a waitress to make ends meet. To elevate her living standards, she makes the logical decision to marry Ozan, but she opted for a divorce with the great difficulties faced in the marriage. After the divorce, Ozan opens a software company and becomes very rich. When Esra learns this fact, she somehow maneuvers her way to a position at Ozan's company to win back his heart, come hell, come high water. 

“Does love really end when we say it's over? Or does it deserve a second chance?," is the motto of 'Aşk Mantık İntikam,' which is officially set to premiere Friday, June 11 on FOX!


The article was updated to reflect the name change of Burcu Özberk's character in the series. Her character name is now Esra.

Aşk Mantık İntikam
Esra always swore she would never marry a man like her father, whose business failures left her family bankrupt and struggling all through her youth. Then she met Ozan, a bright young engineer entering the civil service. The two married and led a comfortable, stable life — until the day Ozan quit his government job to start his own company! Soon Esra is hustling three jobs just to keep the family afloat, while Ozan bounces from one bankruptcy to another. Eventually, the two are divorced. Years later, Ozan’s face is plastered over every newspaper, magazine and news show. His social media app has made Ozan insanely rich, a tech celebrity, and one of Turkey’s most eligible bachelors. Esra is still hustling to keep her head above water when she runs into Ozan. Expecting an apology, Esra is furious when Ozan acts cold and arrogant instead. Esra wheedles her way into his company, starts working as an intern and concocts a plan to take her revenge: She will make Ozan fall in love with her again, and when he does… she’ll dump him! Nothing goes according to plan, however, and before long the two exes end up in a shaky love quadrangle with hilarious consequences. True love gets a second chance as our leads realize they were wrong about each other all along.
