Telenovela Golden boy (Yali Çapkini), also known as “Kindfisher” is a Turkish TV drama and romance series released in 2022 that stars Afra Saracoglu and Mert Ramazan Demir, two actors who individually have already participated in famous Turkish soap operas.
If you’re wondering why the novel is so named, it’s because in Turkish, the expression Yali Capkini (Kingfisher) is used to refer to philandering men. And this is what the novel’s story is about, a wealthy Don Juan who is forced to marry a woman he doesn’t want.
Plot of the Turkish TV series The Kingfisher
The plot of the series revolves around Ferit, who belongs to the wealthy Korhan family. However, unlike his relatives, young Ferit leads a life of scandal, controversy and disorder.
