Price Of Passion

Ferhat Aslan works as a skilled enforcer for a criminal uncle, living inside rules that make violence routine. Aslı Çınar is a young doctor who wants to heal and follow strict ethical standards. Their lives collide when Aslı must operate on a man Ferhat has shot, an urgent situation that forces them into immediate, uneasy contact. That encounter leads to a tense, complicated connection as Ferhat's criminal ties and Aslı's medical conscience pull at decisions they thought were fixed. As secrets, loyalties and escalating threats surface, each character sees their priorities shifting while patients, family and underworld forces push the stakes higher.

Price Of Passion premiered in 2017 as a Turkish television drama, directed by Emir Khalilzadeh and created by Eylem Canpolat, Sema Ergenekon and Erkan Birgören, blending action set pieces with serialized character drama.

It didn't collect major international awards, but the series drew attention from Turkish audiences and genre fans for its central performances, especially İbrahim Çelikkol and Birce Akalay, and for combining gritty crime elements with hospital drama. The show helped raise the profiles of several cast members and showcased production values that supported its action sequences.

Scenes that pair a hardened hitman with a principled physician prompted discussion in Turkey about morality, loyalty and law, and key sequences became talking points online. The series' intense exchanges and fight choreography were often shared on social media, and its mix of genre elements encouraged other Turkish productions to try similar tonal blends.

Audience response was generally positive, reflected in a 7.9/10 average from 192 votes, with critics and viewers noting brisk pacing, credible action and strong lead chemistry. Reviewers highlighted the way the series balances procedural medical scenes with crime drama, focusing on themes of loyalty, redemption, moral compromise and the ripple effects of violence on everyday life.
