Blooming Lady (Bahar)
The highest-rated of the season, Blooming Lady follows the titular character, Bahar, a stay-at-home mother who faces a life-threatening illness and decides to make some changes in her life. She goes back to complete the medical residency she had to give up 20 years ago, even though that means working under her husband, the Chief Surgeon, and with her son, another first-year resident. Neither they nor her teenage daughter are happy about it, but Bahar finds satisfaction in her new life. Unfortunately, returning to the hospital also means learning some hard truths about her husband and the life he’s been leading away from their family. Ultimately, Bahar rebuilds her life along new lines filled with hope, love, and self-reliance.
Gaddar (No Mercy)
When the world crumbles, heroes rise in unexpected places. When Aydan broke his heart, Daghan thought his life was over. He abandoned his home, signed up for the army and ended up in a special unit fighting in the east. Now after two years of hard duty, Daghan's service is over. It's time to come home.
