This is life, you see, everything ends in an instant.
This is life, you see, it the last moment everything come back to life again.

1
What can I say, I LOVED the episode, it had everything: love, drama, happiness, sadness, desperateness, everything to be entertain for 2,5h straight!
#Hercai

PRAISE
I want to start with the praise because Ebru and Akin were incredibly convincing and showed an incredible harmony. I felt Reyyan’s struggle to my bones, I could feel Miran’s pain through the screen.
#Hercai
3
Hercai is living because of what they both together achieve on screen. The way I believe every word they say and I forget the outside world for the screening time 
 I have hardly seen another couple achieving this.
#Hercai
4
Akin made me believe he was in pain and that he could barely hold it together and Ebru’s struggle throughout te episode and the screaming Miran's name at the end will haunt me forever like the one in episode 2!
#Hercai
5
A big round of applause also to our new director Ali, the way only this first episode was shot, shows what kind of good change this was!

And last but not least: Oya! Although I hate GonĂŒl she portrayed her so perfectly I was touched!

SCENE AT THE RIVER
Have you all seen that Miran was laying very close to the flowers that at some point his arm even touched them? Did you notice how much they were blooming? It's so, so metaphorical how ReyMir's love regenerated.
#Hercai
7
I was first irritated why M. kept avoiding looking at R., but of course he didn’t want to show to her in how much pain he was and in order to not worry her even more. He kept doing this later also on the donkey when he kept biting his arm probably not to scream in pain.
#Hercai
8
I loved how this showed how we are strong in moments of great need only not to worry our loved ones!

OBSERVATIONS
* I pretend that Reyyan found a lighter in Miran’s jacket, otherwise how did she make fire that fast twice time in a row?😅
* I think that the man with the bald head who followed ReyMir, was a men of Azize.
#Hercai
10
There was a man like him on the right with Mahm. when they were at the river, they split up&he got the order to follow(Azi. to Mahm.: Let them be safe, get our men there). What I didn't understand was who was the young guy who hid behind the tree&that we saw only once?
#Hercai
11
* Apparently, Miran hasn't been to Dilsha's grave since it was destroyed. I like that the writers remembered this delicate topic. I want to see Miran’s reaction when he sees it!

* Dilsha can't be alive otherwise Azize would have suspected her instead of Hanife, no?

REYYAN
"With you I learned to love and hate. It was as if the sun came up cold, I got warm but at the same time cold."‹
I loved how Reyyan finally verbalised what Miran has already said in similar words before:
#Hercai
13
"I don't know how you do this, I know inside of you is winter but you look like spring on the outside."‹
#Hercai
14
"We will hold onto each other so tight that if we fall, we will get up together . Beautiful days are waiting for us, no one can separate us."

I loved the "shadowing" of the respective words Miran/Reyyan said to each other in previous episodes.

#Hercai
15
R. repeats M's words and M. verbalises his biggest fear while being unconscious namely: being left by Reyyan! “Reyyan, don't leave me, don't leave me". This pleading/imploring of Miran was heartbreaking but it showed Reyyan that Miran would never ever leave her again.
#Hercai
16
So, after knowing from ep. 39 that he would never ever shot someone willingly but only forcedly, now she has the confirmation that he would never ever leave her for nothing in the world.
I am sure this was a milestone in reassuring her on so many important levels.
#Hercai
17
“I will always be there". Reyyan touched M’s face the same way he always does. It's the 1st time she felt free to touch him&she even did a Miran "touch-shadowing“: going from his eyebrows, to his eyelashes, to this cheeks and to his lips. I really enjoyed watching this
#Hercai
18
AZIZE-HANIFE SCENE
While Azize and Hanife walk in the entrance of the farm house, an off-voice said: "Mesut, come here my dear." Later when we see the flashback of the fire and Ayse searching for her son at the very beginning she also screams "Mesut".
#Hercai
19
So, either Mesut was Ayse and Nashu's son who died in the fire or Hazar was named Mesut before and after the fire they gave him a new name.
Interesting is to analyse the meaning of Hazar's name: Hazar= "from the sea".
#Hercai
20
So, either N. had another son with his wife&he gave him the name "from the sea" because he lost the love of his life due to a fire&saw his son like a salvation and named him "sea" as opposite of the fire that was still burning in him, or he renamed the child because+
#Hercai
21
+ he hoped he could calm his pain and loss inside himself that he lost his love of his life and mother of this child due to a fire. Or Hazar is not Ayse/Nashu’s son but only the reason why Nashu came "back to life", like it was for Hazar with Reyyan.
#Hercai
22
I am still very sceptical if Hazar is really their son. He cannot have been a new born because Ayse was not pregnant when Nashu left. So if he was not a baby, wouldn’t Hazar remember this fire incident at least a bit?
#Hercai
23
QUESTIONS
* The family foto shows 3 girls, 1 boy and presumably a mother. Who was that boy on the picture? Could this be Mesut- a brother of Az./Han.?
* Who was the man we saw in the fire fb? It can be Jusuf because I understood he went with N. for his business trip.
#Hercai
24
* Where is Hanife's body?

* Is Hazar really Azize son? Could even Mahzuf be their son?

#Hercai
25
AZIZE BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE VS. HAZAR WELCOMING HIS GIRL‹
I loved how this scene was shot. We see Azize giving the order "burn the place down" vs. the scene in which Hazar tells his baby daughter: "Let your life run like water".
#Hercai
26
Ahhhh, it's killing me how Hercai plays with the two elements of FIRE and WATER. How both can give life and take life.
#Hercai
27
PARALLELISM‹
I loved how episode played on Hazar dragging Zehra vs. Reyyan dragging Miran.
It shows how strong we get in moment of need for loved ones.
#Hercai
28
AZAT
"The breath you take when you cut off someone else's breath, won't do you any good."
‹I am amazed by the writers how they give Azat those lines but then make him forget his "wisdom". Anyway, I loved this phrase, so bravo to the writers!!!
#Hercai
29
AZIZE-GONÜL
I think we finally see how Azize's loosing it... and with it, we slowly get a glimpse of what happened to Azize to become what she is today.
Three sentences stuck with me in this whole Azize-GonĂŒl scene:
#Hercai
30
1. "Is it worth shading so many tears for a man?"

2. "How can a man step on your pride like this“

3. "If so, you will forget what you learned. You will forget both Miran himself and his name." 

#Hercai
31
So probably she herself cried so much for Nashu that her desperateness at some point turned into anger/evilness. She swore revenge and to "pay back" what Nashu did to her pride by not coming back looking for her.
#Hercai
32
She swore to herself to forget N.&even his name. Now she tells all this to G. because in fact she is talking about herself.
I'm enjoying so much how A. tried to control everything but she's constantly losing, bc it teaches us:being evil makes you lose on the long run!
#Hercai
33
TRANSITION FROM AZIZE SCENE TO REYYAN'S MONOLOGUE
Reyyan: "Because two people love each other, the world turned upside down."‹
And I say here: NO! All this started because people didn’t love each other enough. Nashu not Ayse/Azize and Hazar not Dilsha.
#Hercai
34
Therefore, ReyMir's story will be different. They will be happy with each other because they BOTH fight for each other. In episode 44 Reyyan was the biggest Miran and ReyMir warrior. She did not give up in no moment like Miran did not give up in going after Reyyan.
#Hercai
35
DETAILS I LOVED
* Miran tried not to lean to much against Reyyan and show his pain vs. leaning and smelling her when his pain was nearly unbearable to gather strength from her.
* Miran got better after Reyyan laid her hand on his heart and he could feel her touch.
#Hercai
36
* The eggs always stayed with Reyyan. Also when she showed them to Miran, it was always her who placed them next to herself. Love this symbolism.
#Hercai
37
* M:“I knew you were strong, but not that strong."
M. telling R. how strong she is. It’s the first time some says it. Others only cured her "outside" wounds like her bloody face but never said how strong she was for the simple fact what she survived&endured all this.
#Hercai
38
* R. quickly turning around and glancing at M. when leaving to get water... &Mirancim was afraid last episode R. wouldn't turn. :)
* R:"Does it hurt?" M:"Not like this." (His heart&his bullet wound).
Meaning the only person who can really hurt him is Reyyan herself.
#Hercai
39
CIHAN-REYYAN CONFRONTATION
I loved how in the first shot when Reyyan points the gun at Cihan, she is standing in the light (good) vs. Cihan in the shade (bad).

Ali, I love you for this detail.đŸ„°
#Hercai
40
THE SWING ANNIVERSARY
I loved how Reyyan remembered the swing anniversary and that she acknowledges that everything that Miran did for her after the revenge, was FOR her.
In the picnic scene at the swing she said:
#Hercai
41
"You destroyed this place for me, this was my place and you destroyed it."
She no longer connects negative feelings with it because she sees that Miran kept his word when he said "whenever you fall, I will jump after you."
#Hercai
42
MIRAN-REYYAN CONVO
R:There is a lot I want to do to for u. But it doesn’t work.
M:I want to do also many things for u. You are my the biggest desire in this world. I already destroyed your dreams once, I left u behind. So firstly, I must make sure your dreams come true
#Hercai
43
I read some comments that Reyyan was looking down and not looking into Miran's eyes as if she felt rejected by him.
I don't think she did this because she felt rejected, but rather because she doesn't know how to behave when someone lifts her up.
#Hercai
44
M. just told her she is his biggest desire. R looked down bc no one ever told her how much value she has. All R learned from her family since she was a child was to suffer&accept her mistreatment in silence but no one ever lifted her up telling her how precious she is
#Hercai
45
Probably in the cut scene Reyyan tried to get closer to Miran and even wanted to sleep with him. I loved Miran for the fact that he stopped her, and not because he thinks she is not ready, but for other three the reasons:
#Hercai
46
1)Desperateness/fear:also in this situation right now R. is acting out of DESPERATENESS&FEAR of losing M.When R. burnt herself in the hut, she felt desperate, when R. jumped from the bridge, she felt desperate,when R.stood many times in front of guns, R felt desperate.
#Hercai
47
When she had to chose between Miran's love and his life, she felt desperate. She was always forced to do something or to choose a side in a forced way. It's an incredible power Miran gives back to Reyyan:
#Hercai
48
not doing something out of desperateness/fear or because someone expects it from her, but because SHE, Reyyan, wants it.
#Hercai
49
2) TALK: Reyyan hasn’t address calmly and properly ever the morning after/the whole revenge night.
I think Miran would want to hear her feelings on what she felt that night before going further.
#Hercai
50
3)COMFORT: M. wants this moment to be special and comfortable for R, not in such an environment. Already her 1st time was on a bare cold floor of a hut without heating. She deserves the 2nd time to be more comfortable, +
#Hercai
51
without any blood stains on them or dust around them, without R. feeling pressure again.I think this was important for both:R. understood her desire for M.&that she no longer wants to wait or being hold by the past&M. knows that R. finally is ready&wants to go further.
#Hercai
52
I also loved how this scene was shot, both looked liked in a confession pose, kneeling, but both on the same level. No one was superior to the other, but they were the same. Miran kissing her hair like he did in episode when Reyyan was bit by the scorpio.
#Hercai
53
It's the first time Miran kisses her hair and Reyyan being conscious, I loved this worshipping because:
"to truly love, is only for brave men".
#Hercai
54
HAPPY ENDING (because some of you tend to forget)
M: "U believe in fairytales, don’t u?“
R: "I do."
M: "Thanks to u, now I do too. Because ours will be like this."
The story of Hercai opens with only R. believing in miracles&fairytales. M. is in a very dark, bad place.
#Hercai
55
Due to the whole love story they share, Miran started believing too and this thanks to Reyyan.
How could the story possibly end with them apart? "Until my death I will love you" >> Meaning for a life time with you!!!
#Hercai
56
Both Nashu and Hazar didn’t love their women this way. Therefore ReyMir will have a happy end. What kind of message would it give out to the audience, be evil because it’s not worth being a good person in this life?
#Hercai
57
SYMBOL FIRE
I love how throughout the episode the symbol of fire was omnipresent. In the scene when Aslan burns the photos, when Reyyan lights a fire, when we see the flashback of Ayse/Azize (twice) and finally when GonĂŒl runs in the streets of Midyat.
#Hercai
58
The fire representing a sword with two blades: the fire representing the passion that runs through Miran and Reyyan and which will make them CREATE LIFE and on the other hand, the obsession/craziness of Azize, Aslan and GonĂŒl which will DESTROY LIFE.
#Hercai
59
It really got me goosebumps how Mehmet and GonĂŒl were brought to the point by Azize to run like crazy ppl through the streets and in the end they shoot!
#Hercai
60
LAST SHOT AND ITS PARALLELISM
Hazar to Dilsha and Miran to Reyyan:
"I am not going without u, give me your hand."
And then father and son are shot by a crazy Aslanbey.
#Hercai
61
The final shot on how Miran grabbed for R's face/hand (remember his word: "It's enough for me if you just hold my hand and don’t let go".)
And Reyyan as if she remembers them saying to him "I will save you, I will save you."
#Hercai
62
Again Hercai family, remember one of the most important Reyyan sentences: “He will be my miracle and I will be his miracle too“. They will both live.❀
