Curiosities of the Magnificent Century:
This Turkish series was the most expensive project in the history of Turkish television, costing approximately $500,000 for each episode. The costumes and spectacular scenery are of enormous realism and luxury. Some scenes were filmed in the royal halls of the Topkapi Palace where the events actually took place.
Political scandals of the series:
Several Turkish historians came out to disprove parts of the story of the series by revealing the true facts as they were. In the same way, the most conservative Turkish sector, led by President Erdogan himself, made a presentation to the justice system against those responsible for the series. This sector of the population are great admirers of the Ottoman Empire and considered that it was not correct to show the violence, intrigues and betrayals of the court, like showing the greatest sultan in history in love and manipulated by a foreign slave.
What happened to the leading lady?
The series starred Meryem Uzerli, a German actress with a Turkish father, like Hürrem.
During the last season, Meryem Uzerli is replaced by the actress Vahide Perçin. What happened? …During the first seasons of the series Meryem got engaged to an irascible and possessive Turkish millionaire playboy. Did she become his slave?
The truth is that she lived on him, only to attend to him and help him, but all in the midst of scandals and fights. Finally Meryem fell into a state of depression and total exhaustion where the doctors recommended her to leave the series. Suddenly he stopped filming and went back to Germany.
There was also a lot of talk about a jealousy attack from Halit Ergenc’s wife, Berguzar Korel, who didn’t like his closeness to Meryem.
