The romcom is produced by Gold Film, one of the top producers in Turkey behind proven series such as “Daydreamer”, “No 309”, “Iffet”, “Dila” and “Never Let Go”. Mr. Wrong premiered on FOX Turkey and was the highest rated series on Friday among all target audiences.
It tells the story of Ezgi and Ozgur. A lifetime of betrayal destroys Ezgi’s hopes of ever finding Mr. Right and when she meets the womanizer Ozgur, “Mr. Wrong”, it seems a recipe for disaster. But fate, and nagging mothers, conspire to seek a happy ending. The quest for romance can lead a woman in the wrong direction. No matter how much she seeks Mr. Right, she ends up falling for the wrong man despite her best efforts. Such is the story of the beautiful Ezgi, whose love life is a sorry tale of deception and betrayal.
