Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem	comment	MuhteÅŸem YÃ¼zyÄ±l KÃ¶sem is a Turkish historical drama and a follow-up to the international hit MuhteÅŸem YÃ¼zyÄ±l (Magnificent Century). Premiering in 2015 on Star TV, it details the life of Mahpeyker KÃ¶sem Sultan, one of the most powerful women in the history of the Ottoman Empire, charting her evolution from a concubine of Ahmed I to a formidable valide sultan.The series begins in 1603; Ahmed is proclaimed Sultan following the death of his father, Mehmed III, but there is little jubilation as he takes the throne. At only thirteen years of age, Ahmed is a inexperienced leader and overwhelmed by his newfound position of power. Moreover, the fate of the dynasty lies in his hands: his only successor is his half-brother Mustafa, only a young boy, who has been unexpectedly spared from the tradition of fratricide. The viziers dread a Succession Crisis should the worst come to pass, while rival players await an opportunity to strike.Unbeknownst to Ahmed, a coronation gift courtesy of his grandmother Safiye has arrived in Istanbul's harbor: Anastasia. A carefree merchant's daughter from island of Kefalonia, Anastasia was the subject of a local painter whose work fatefully found its way into the imperial treasury, where her radiance captivated the future sultan. Needless to say, the girl in the painting is none too pleased to be forcibly abducted as a surprise "gift" for a foreign monarch. Far from home in a strange land, she finds nothing but misery in the palace... save for the unexpected friendship she develops with none other than the young sultan himself.The girl Anastasia grows into the woman KÃ¶sem Sultan, who would bear witness to momentous historical events and the reigns of six sultans. The first season, starring Beren Saat in the titular role, details KÃ¶sem's life as Ahmed's consort, as she rises to prominence and learns to navigate the Ottoman court. Season two features NurgÃ¼l YeÅŸilÃ§ay as an older KÃ¶sem, now valide sultan, and begins in 1632, as her son Murad breaks free from her regency to rule in his own right.Despite initial buzz for the series and an impressive cast lineup, Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem ultimately failed to achieve the popularity of its predecessor. Faced with low ratings and numerous shake-ups behind the scenes, the saga was forced to end after only two seasons.

Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_19209d54	type	Sibling Rivalry
Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_19209d54	comment	Sibling Rivalry: Mehmed and Osman. Well, at least that's what it was probably supposed to be - in truth, it consists mostly of Mehmed being jealous of Osman, up untill they are tricked by Safiye and Osman has Mehmed executed. Ahmet and Mustafa is a downplayed example, at least compared to the others in this series, because though Ahmet wonâ€™t execute him, he keeps Mustafa locked up from childhood. Murad kills his brothers Kasim and Bayezid, Bayezid because he was dragged into his motherâ€™s plot, and Kasim to secure his throne. Kasim and Bayezid themselves were rivals.

Ayse to Farya, as both were Muradâ€™s concubines. Farya tells Ayse sheâ€™ll be killed, leading to her suicide. Gevherhan and Atike, as both like Silhadar. Atike ends up marrying Silhadar, who only loved Gevherhan back, and Gevherhan kills herself at their wedding. Halime and Handan, mostly over their children. KÃ¶sem and Gulbahar, as Gulbahar wants Bayezid to succeed. Turhan and KÃ¶sem, to the point Turhan kills her.

Ironically, this how KÃ¶sem kills Halime herself. Handan tries to kill ZÃ¼lfikar this way to keep secrets from getting out. HÃ¼maÅŸah saves him, though. A pretty gross version of this occurs when Fahriye infects her two nephews with the dust made out of smallpox victims' scar tissue. Ew.

Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: Several. The Giray brothers — Crimean Princes — are introduced in the first episode as possible inheritors of the Ottoman throne should Ahmed and Mustafa die without heirs. The two brothers appears eager accelerate that process, particularly Åžahin. However, Åžahin is imprisoned for scheming halfway through the first season and never mentioned again, while Mehmed is shoehorned into whichever role the narrative needs him to play. He too eventually disappears without a trace. The re-introduction of KÃ¶sem's sister appears to foreshadow a family reunion and possible conflict. However, she is killed on KÃ¶sem's orders in an "accident" two episodes later, before either learns the true identity of the other. Meleki Hatun was one of KÃ¶sem's most important retainers historically. Despite being granted a backstory in the first season, she is Demoted to Extra in the second, exiled to the old palace, and never seen again. The political implications behind Murad's marriage to a foreign princess are forgotten almost as soon as the wedding actually happens.

Halime betraying KÃ¶sem as soon as she helps her get Mustafa on the throne wasn't as unreasonable, but still pretty bad.

Safiye supports Mustafa as the ruler, but Handan is Ahmetâ€™s mother. Halime, Handan, Dilruba and Safiye for Kosem. Halime, Dilruba and Safiye support Mustafa as sultan instead of Kosemâ€™s sons, and try to kill her and her sons several times. KÃ¶sem and Handan got on better, but were still rivals. Ayse and Farya were both this for KÃ¶sem, as both were rivals, to the point that KÃ¶sem killed Farya and framed it as suicide. Murad IV killed his brother-in-law Topal. Turhan Sultan, KÃ¶semâ€™s daughter-in-law, causes her downfall.

Generally, any sympathetic person with power, because you need to kill people in a position of power.

This isn't incorrect - smallpox used to be a very dangerous illness that has claimed many lives. But the writers trying to up the stakes somewhat overdo it when they have a doctor proclaim something in the vein of "I've never seen anyone survive smallpox." He must be a horrible doctor, since as bad as smallpox were, they definitely weren't 100% fatal. In fact, one of the things they were known for were the distinct scars they left on many survivors. Halime apparently invented antipsychotics.

Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_b486877f	comment	A pretty gross version of this occurs when Fahriye infects her two nephews with the dust made out of smallpox victims' scar tissue. Ew.

Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_b7e0c5ff	type	Love Triangle
Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_b7e0c5ff	comment	Love Triangle: Par for the course in turkish drama. Ahmed-KÃ¶sem-Iskender. KÃ¶sem, unsurprisingly, chooses Ahmed. Iskender continues to feels unrequited love for her for years. DerviÅŸ-Fahriye-Mehmed Giray. Well, sort of - Fahriye and DerviÅŸ are in an arranged marriage, but neither of them really likes each other despite Handan's suspicion that Fahriye would be able to turn DerviÅŸ to the side of her mother. Then Fahriye's crimes are revealed and her only salvation is taking refuge in the Aziz HÃ¼dayi's shelter, where the formerly proud princess has to live amongst the poorest members of society. Her humiliation is so intense she even stops loving Mehmed and becomes extremely bitter. Mehmed also disavows both her and his brother, and decides to cooperate with the law. He lures her outside of the shelter by standing there and refusing to leave if she won't send him away; Fahriye, thinking he still loves her, is pissed and goes trough the shelter gates... Where she is immediate seized by the guards. Ahmed seems to have forgiven her and sends her to her husband; Fahriye talks to her husband about wanting a new start with him... And then she dies. DerviÅŸ poisoned her on sultan's orders. Osman-Meleksima-Mehmed. Meleksima becomes Osman's concubine despite Osman's hesitation, since he knows Mehmed wants her too. They end up having a son and Mehmed doesn't even so much as mention her again. Meleksima-Osman-Akile. Osman enters an Arranged Marriage with Akile, but he seems to take a liking to her, much to Meleksima's chagrin. It goes nowhere, with the storyline hitting an abrupt halt when Osman dies soon after the birth of his children with Akile. Farya-Murad-AyÅŸe. Farya wins by a landslide, as Murad never shows much affection towards AyÅŸe, while Farya is, for better or worse, the love of his life. AyÅŸe ends up committing suicide.

Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_e13156e1	comment	Mama Bear: Most sultanas, actually. Safiye protects Fahriye even after she learns her daughter tried to kill sultan and his little brother. And when Iskender's identity is revealed... Handan urges her son to execute his own little brother because of her fear for his safety and even orders Mustafa's murder against Ahmed's wishes. She isn't even wrong - Safiye does indeed plot to overthrow Ahmed once she falls out of favor. Halime's sole motivation is to protect her own son. Though she somewhat zig-zags this trope. She is clearly willing to sacrifice her daughter for Mustafa. Gulbahar Hatun schemes to put her son Bayezid on the throne.

Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_e2ccee25	comment	Animal Motifs: Particullary in the first episode, "The Lion, The Wolf and The Lamb". Ahmed, like every sultan, is associated with lions (his mother calls him a lion) and Giray brothers give him a caged lion as a gift which Åžahin then frees in an attempt to assassinate him, the wolf probably refers to Åžahin Giray, and lastly Anastasia holds a lamb on her portrait. Somewhat confusingly, Anastasia is also associated with an attacking lion trough editing in one of her moments of defiance.

Now, she finally stopped doing what Safiye says and did what her mother would actually do in her place - what benefits her the most.

When he is close to death, he asks to be brought to place they met, where he dies in her arms. Gevherhan and Silahtar affirm their love for one another in the imperial garden, the setting for many key moments in the development of their relationship.

Magnificent Century: KÃ¶sem / int_f16da697	comment	Undying Loyalty: Most characters that aren't part of a dynasty feel this way towards someone who is. BÃ¼bÃ¼l towards Safiye. He stays with her until the bitter end. Eycan and later Cennet towards KÃ¶sem. ZÃ¼lfikar to Ahmed himself, however, after his death he no longer feels obliged to serve anyone and turns against his sons in favor of Iskender. MenekÅŸe apparently to Halime. DerviÅŸ to Handan and Ahmed, which makes sense when it is revealed he has been in love with her for years. Deconstructed, since he also apparently committed regicide for them, which why Ahmed is forced to punish him for treason despite knowing better than anyone else how loyal DerviÅŸ is.
