Noor (soap opera)
Found in: Turkish television series
Gumu (Silver) is a Turkish soap opera which was broadcast in Turkey by Kanal D from 2005 to 2007. It was released in the Arab world in 2008 as "Noor" dubbed in Syrian Arabic. The series has also been shown in Romania on Kanal D Romania with the title "Iubire de Argint. The show was unsuccessful in Turkey but seems to have been the most popular TV drama ever broadcast in Arab countries. Noor follows the idealized lives of its "voluptuous, independent and vivacious" title character (Songul Oden) and her attractive, romantic, and supportive husband Muhannad (Kivanc Tatlitug). The show's characters break various Islamic and Arab cultural strictures and it has been criticized by hard-line clerics in the Middle East as a result.
The final episode
In the final episode of Noor the time is moved foreward to 13 years later and we see that everyone has grown up and are all living a happy life. Noor is writing in her diaries about what has happened for the past 13 years and shows us how all the characters have grown up and changed.
