¿Qué culpa tiene Fatmagül? on UniMás  

@lindaf Thanks! I caught the knocking on the dash, but wasn't sure if the teeth thing had a meaning. 

Grand finale! I was pleasantly surprised by the length of the sentences, except that I wanted more years for Muñir and really would have liked to see Mukaddes locked up.

I was confused when they said that Vural's charges were from 2001. The novela was made in 2010, but did they ever tell us that the action was set 10 years earlier than that?

I don't remember the year being mentioned before.

Munir might get disbarred, so there's a happy thought!

It makes me wonder if it was inspired by a real-life case from 2001 that Turkish audiences would have immediately recognized.

Yes, I like the thought of Münir losing his future means of earning a living! And what about Aise? Did she get in trouble for aiding the fugitives?

Hm, they didn't say. I think her dad took care of it?

@kat, there's one last thing I need to ask you. When they buried Mustafa, did they just dump his corpse into the grave without the casket? I thought it looked like they tipped the plain wooden coffin over and his body tumbled out. Wouldn't his friend have shelled out enough money for that simple box? What a pathetic ending to a wasted life!

@lindaf that's right, they did! When I saw it, I thought it was something religious that I didn't understand. Apparently no casket is the standard for a Muslim burial (according to a quick googling, so if anyone knows more, let us know!)

@kat Thanks for checking on that! Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a burial on a Turkish novela where they showed a casket lowered into the ground. What I seem to recall is that the mourners would have a photo of the deceased pinned to their clothing, or is that another culture I'm thinking of?

@lindaf I don't remember where I've seen the thing with the pictures but it does sound familiar.
