THE TRAVELLING OF THE LOVE

Yunus Emre – The Travelling of The Love is a TV series released in 2015 Ramadan on TRT1. The series has been liked in a short span of time by many people. It was broadcasted every weekday in Ramadan. And now it is being televised every Tuesday. The producer is Mehmet Bozdağ who is the producer of Diriliş Ertuğrul, too. The scriptwriter is İsa Yılmaz and the director is Emre Konuk.
This TV series is about the travelling of Yunus to reach up to the veracity on Islamic Sufism way. There are his ordeal and his war against his devil in 13th century. He was graduated from Madrasah Karatay which was one of the most important ones in that century. Firstly he was assigned for Nallıhan as a kadi. He was haughty and he didn’t like dervish lodges but then he became disciple of Tabduk Emre. In the show, he has lots of trial there.
For Yunus Emre – The Travelling of The Love, a world of 13th century has been built in Beykoz Shoe Fabric. Nallıhan bazaar and stores madrasahs, buildings of ahi association, mansions etc. have been built on indoor and outdoor fifteen thousand square meter platos. 400 costumes and 250 headings have been fabricated and six thousand meters cloth was used. About two thousand epochal equipments have been made from scratch for the series.
I am a fan of this show. I like it. We watch it whit the whole family. I think it is both beautiful and educational. It appeals to hearts of people. Especially conversations of Tabduk Emre with his company are impressive and didactic. And some sentences are very nice like “Walker with love carries worlds on his back, walker without love carries a corpse as body.” I think shows in this breed have to increase. We need them.
