Aşk Ve Gözyaşı had to go up against some well-known shows, which was not easy. Still, during its first week, the show secured a spot in the top 10, indicating that viewers are interested in following the characters' story.

Reports say that the launch went well and that producers and broadcasters are hopeful that word of mouth will help the show get even better ratings. The story looks like it will pick up speed in the coming weeks thanks to strong performances, high production values, and growing fan interest.

That's what the real test will be. If Aşk Ve Gözyaşı can keep or raise its numbers, it could become one of the best Turkish dramas of the year. So far, its first week has set the stage for what could be an emotional and exciting ride.
