There is hardly any character developement just unjustifiable plot twists and turns, more twists and turns, and more twists and turns still... in short, classic soap opera. The plot makes little sense: Why does Hürrem hate the sultan so much? What motivates her? Didnt Hürrem wanted to leave the hareem? The writer doesnt even explain, how Hürrem could have possily slept with Imbrahim in such a controled (no men allowed, spies everyvhere, death punishement for lost virtue) envioroment. The intrigue was distracting and didnt make much sense. It was nothing but page filler. One would almost thing the author was paid per word, which would then explain the "leading-nowhere-plots" and twists. I like good intrigue but to everything there must be moderation, I just couldnt finish this mindless soap opera with one dimensional un-endeering characters, no devalopement and disapearing story line.
