After the first season's overwhelming response from Pinoy televiewers, ETC Channel is bringing the
second season of the hit Turkish drama series “Endless Love” to Philippine TV beginning June 28, Monday.
“Endless Love,” or “Kara Sevda” in Turkey (meaning “Dark Love”), is a popular and award-winning dizi starring
Turkish heartthrob Burak Özçivit and prominent Turkish actress Neslihan Atagül as lovers Kemal and
Nihan who come from different social backgrounds. The poor boy and rich girl go through very difficult
challenges imposed by their situations and families, forcing Nihan to sacrifice her love in order to keep
a family secret from being revealed.
In 2020, ETC made a bold move to offer more local content in their mostly English program lineup, first
by airing Filipino movies and then by presenting Turkish series dubbed in Tagalog by way of the
ETCerye primetime block. The first two dizi to air on the block were “Everywhere I Go” and “Endless
Love Season 1.”
The audience response was unprecedented as the Tagalized Turkish dramas gained high ratings,
especially for “Endless Love.” According to Kantar Media, 114 of the 115 episodes of “Endless Love
Season 1”primetime telecast garnered triple-digit ratings; 21 episodes recorded 400+ points, seven got
500+ points while two episodes: Episode 68 and Episode 114 obtained 664.24 points and 608.43
points, respectively.
The Season 1 finale week of March 22 to March 26 became the second-highest rating week with 455.87 points. Thus, “Endless Love Season 1” is officially the highest-rated series in ETC’s 17-year history.
Season 2 promises to be more compelling. Nihan leaves Kemal who gets imprisoned due to a shooting
incident. When Kemal finishes his prison term, his relationship with Nihan becomes strained even
hateful. Meanwhile, Emir, the wealthy and powerful man Nihan married out of family pressure, still
wants Nihan for himself and Kemal out of the picture for good. Hostility between Emir and Kemal reach
an all-time high and Nihan’s presence precariously swings the balance between both sides. More
secrets unravel and true intentions and allegiances are uncovered.
“Just like the title of the highest-rated series in ETC’s history, our commitment to our viewers is an
‘Endless Love,’” said Mr. Wilson Tieng, CEO of ETC’s parent company Solar Entertainment. “We thank
the audience for their support. In the midst of the changing times, we assure our viewers can that ETC
will continue to offer shows and movies that make them feel good and inspired.”
“Endless Love Season 2” airs from Monday to Friday at 9PM; replays at 1PM and 8PM on weekdays, and catch-up
marathons every Sunday at 1PM.
ETC is seen on SkyCable Ch.16, Cignal Ch. 21, CableLink Ch. 34, DTT Ch. 21 in Metro Manila, and in
