O3 Media’s new drama Ask ve Gozyasi (Love and Tears) brings together two of Türkiye’s most popular actors, Baris Arduc and Hande Ercel, in the local adaptation of the South Korean series Queen of Tears. Framed as an emotionally charged relationship story, the series is positioned to shape the new TV season.
A “local adaptation” here means a remake produced for domestic audiences while keeping the core premise of the original.
The plot centers on Meyra, described as one of Türkiye’s wealthiest women, who learns she has a terminal illness just as she and her husband Selim are heading toward divorce.
That unexpected diagnosis forces their relationship to take a dramatic turn, setting up a narrative that aims to take viewers on a deep emotional journey.

Ask ve Gozyasi is slated to premiere in September. As the Türkiye remake of Queen of Tears—described as one of the most-watched series in Korean television history—the show aims to tap into a proven story while reshaping it for a new audience.
