Heartbeat (Season 1)

"Heartbeat" (Kalp Atışı, 2017) — stream this Turkish medical drama online on iFILM. In an Aegean seaside town, a stubborn and directionless young woman named Eylül crosses paths with surgery teacher Ali Asaf, who sees potential she doesn't. He pushes. She resists, then excels. By the time she finishes her training, she is a skilled surgeon — and deeply aware of the man who made that possible.

Years later they are both working at one of Istanbul's leading hospitals, no longer teacher and student but colleagues of equal standing. Eylül has built a wall around her heart, partly by watching her mother's story end badly, and she is not inclined to revisit old feelings. Ali Asaf has other ideas. Starring Öykü Karayel and Gökhan Alkan, directed by Aytaç Çiçek, the series earns its tension slowly — less about medical cases, more about two people circling feelings neither wants to name first.
