All the info about Mr wrong, with Can Yaman

Mr Wrong, also known as Bay Yanlış has bene bought by many TV channels around the world, even before it was finished.

This show is about two apparently very different people, who still find a common ground in where they realize that they're perfect for each other. Neither the rich and flirtatious boy was as bad as they wanted to make him look like, nor the girl who chose her boyfriends so badly and with her streak of bad luck was such a loser. It's what I love about this show, the two of them complement each other and neither is more than the other.

Timeline

Here's how the news about "Mr Wrong" spread when the project was announced in Turkey:

His co-star will be Özge Gürel, who already worked with him as his partner in Dolunay. 

Can Yaman's character is named Özgür, which means freedom. He is the charismatic owner of a restaurant and an extremely funny man.

Özge Gürel's character is named Ezgi, a woman who has never shown any interest in any man.

The series won't be a romantic comedy, but rather about "white collar" workers (for those who are not familiar with the term, it means office people, with a degree and "qualified" jobs).

On March 13th Can uploaded a picture to his Instagram profile, where he was playing drums (is the picture used in this fan-made banner) and the writer of the dizi, (Asli Zengin) commented under the picture with two emojis: a drum and a piece of paper. So we guess that means he will play the drums in the series, somehow.

Can Yaman has also been seen practicing tango in a video that he uploaded himself to his Instagram, with the best teacher possible: his mother, who has been dancing it for quite a while now. So it seems like Özgür will know how to tango ;)

On the other hand, producer Faruk Turgut wrote in his Twitter account on Feb. 13th: "¿Love? ¿Logic? Which one would you chose if you felt trapped between the two of them? Are women falling in love with the wrong men?" - which seems to be the premise of the show, since these are the same lines Asli (the writer) wrote in her IG post on march 14th, when publishing the cover of the 3rd episode, currently being written. 

Also, Faruk was Erkenci Kus' producer and Asli Zengin one of the writers. They are now joined by Banu Zengin as another screenwriter for this new project.

The director of the dizi is Deniz Yorulmacer

It will be broadcasted on the FOX network in Turkey.

It's been said that the first episode will be a tribute to the golden age of Turkish cinema in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

More cast members: Lale Başar will be the mother of Can's character (Özgür) and Feri Baycu - our beloved / hated Erkenci Kus hairdresser) - will be the mother of Özge's (Ezgi) character. On the other hand, Fatma Toptas and Gürgen Öz will be husband and wife in the series, joined by actor Suat-Ahu Sungur. But we don't know yet the role of any of the threm.

The new show for Can is supossed to start filming in May, to be aired this summer (we will see if the Corona allows it)

Summary of "Mr Wrong" episodes

The series came to an end in episode 14. Although it was published that it would last longer and they barely gave the news of its end the week before the last episode was broadcast, they managed to close the series without leaving any loose ends as far as the leading couple it means. Which is appreciated.

I leave you a brief summary of the episodes, but first of all, one of my favorite videos about the couple of Özgür Atasoy and Ezgi İnal:

The summaries correspond to the episodes as they were broadcast in Turkey (in Spain they are always shorter, since Turkey is 2-hour episodes). You can see Bay Yanlış on Fox's YouTube channel.

Be careful with the synopses, spoilers are inevitable.

Episode 1

The encounter. Or rather, the encounters. After the taxi, the bar arrives. And at the bar, a certain little person gets drunk. So a troubled Özgür has to take care of her overnight. As if this weren't enough, they happen to be neighbors! So they finally show up and start behaving like normal people. But all this comes to an end when Özgür makes a totally unexpected proposal to Ezgi.

Episode 2

After a resounding refusal, and a delusional nightmare, Ezgi finally accepts Özgür's proposal, who begins to provide him with his services as a sentimental consultant. One afternoon in the park and another afternoon shopping, they bring the couple closer together, who begin to be something like friends. Although that does not prevent them from fighting like the dog and the cat. To the extent that they decide to leave the deal.

Episode 3

Fate insists on continuing to bring them together, as Ezgi is the person Özgür's best friend has hired to run the new restaurant. Özgür flatly refuses, but despite the fights, he ends up taking care of a drunk Ezgi at night. In the end, the deal stands up again, and the attraction between the two is increasingly obvious.

Episode 4

There is a "little" incident with the boat they were sailing in in the afternoon and Özgür and Ezgi end up spending the night on a desert island, except for a goat. Although in the morning they receive more visitors and not exactly friendly like the goat. After a rugged escape, they arrive in time for Özgür's sister's Henna ceremony, who is getting married the next day.

Episode 5

The day of the wedding of Özgür's sister arrives and the reason for the deal between the two. What happens is that what started as an exchange of favors, is becoming something more, because both feel some jealousy when they see the other dancing with other couples. They also continue with their funny tug of war, Özgür being a cheeky and Ezgi a bit grumbling. After a disastrous day at the beach, the couple return to Istanbul, but it is clear that nothing will be as before.

Episode 6

Özgür and Ezgi begin their relationship as boss and employee. Ezgi is willing to continue with her marriage plans and meets the doctor, but when the appointment is canceled, she spends a nice dinner with her "boss". Although the two of them try to move on with her life as usual, it is becoming increasingly difficult on both sides, especially when Ezgi's parents encourage her to go after what she wants.

Episode 7

Özgür's restaurant, La Gabbia, is going to celebrate a Latin night. And the aforementioned ends up being Ezgi's tango teacher who wants to dance with the doctor after the disappointment he got the night before when he went to talk to Özgür. But for a change, if destiny insists on bringing our partner together, it also insists on leaving aside the doctor, who does not arrive on time for the appointment. His sensual dance, however, ends accidentally when Ezgi's ex appears on the scene.

Episode 8

At last Özgür admits his feelings to his best friend. Ezgi, on her side, also seems to have it already quite clear. But the sudden arrival of their mothers prevents them from speaking calmly. With Özgür's mother they continue with the charade, but Ezgi's parents have no choice but to confess that their relationship was never true. However, at the end of the day, they fall into their own trap.

Episode 9

The tortilla has been turned around: Özgür and Ezgi are finally together, but now they have to lie to everyone by making them believe that they are not. What gives rise to new crazy situations. Everything gets even more complicated when the doctor sets a trap for Özgür, making him believe that there is a relationship between Ezgi and him, which pushes our protagonist to make a drastic decision.

Episode 10

When Özgür realizes that he has screwed up to the bottom, he goes looking for Ezgi to apologize. But this she sends him to fry monkeys. It is her parents who tell her that she cannot hide there all her life and she is going to pursue her professional dreams. And she does that when she gets an offer over the phone. The best baddie of all appears in this episode: Tolga, Özgür's cousin!

Episode 11

Özgür and Ezgi, now, are beginning their life as a couple, after spending their first night together. And neither Tolga's tricks nor the doctor's manage to separate them. In addition, the families of both begin to approach positions, albeit reluctantly. Ezgi decides to quit her job, learning that she has been used by Özgür's cousin. But this one doesn't give up so easily.

Episode 12

Happy in his new life with Ezgi, Özgür agrees to Tolga's blackmail to protect his beloved, since he considers that there is nothing more important than her. Focusing on his new restaurant, he throws a housewarming party where the two families finally bury the hatchet. But what promised to be a perfect evening ends in a totally unexpected way.

Episode 13

Özgür and Ezgi are released, and Özgür sets out to clear up the whole mess with his best friend. He hopes in this way to get rid of Tolga. Meanwhile, someone is sabotaging his new restaurant with the intention of scaring away customers. As if that weren't enough, now the doctor tells Ezgi that he wants to redeem himself and help him unmask Özgür's cousin and his tricks.

Episode 14. The last one

Rather than tell you what happens in this last episode, I prefer to give you my opinion about the series. Bay Yanlış, or as it has been called here in Spain. "The Wrong Man" is a solid series, on the level of any Hollywood romantic comedy. Its plots are light, even the characters that fell a little fat at first, end up being pleasant. The main couple is modern, they treat each other with respect, without jealousy or stupid fights. The script is agile, there was not a single boring episode. And maybe that's why it was possible to close the last and unexpected episode in a "satisfactory" way (I put it in quotation marks, because the secondary plots did remain a bit in the air). It was resolved quickly, yes. But it is that after all, the whole series had been like that.

In short, "The Wrong Man" with Can Yaman and Özge Gúrel is highly recommended. And it is not necessary to see more that it was sold like hotcakes to several countries, including Spain and in many of them it began to be broadcast a few weeks after having finished.

So I say: long live Bay Yanlış! That entertained us this summer in the midst of a world's pandemic by bringing a smile to our face every Friday, when the episodes aired in Turkey and the rest of the week, with the previews and photos.
