Plot
Aslı works at a pastry shop and dreams of becoming a successful cake maker, while Burak is the privileged and irresponsible son of the wealthy Mazharoğlu family. Their first encounter in Istanbul causes Aslı to lose her job. When Aslı’s close friend Gonca prepares to work in Bodrum, Aslı decides to go with her. At the same time, Burak’s father sends him to Bodrum to manage the family hotel and learn responsibility. Aslı and Burak meet again on the same flight and later cross paths at the hotel. Aslı’s initial interest in Burak’s cousin Volkan and Burak’s relationship with Çağla create further misunderstandings and emotional conflict.
