We have built a more fictional world without abandoning the main idea of the story. Romeo and Juliet here became more playful, more fun, and more active. Our Juliet is also a more dominant character with her feet firmly on the ground.
-Miray Daner
In fact, the fundamental feeling is the same, love, desire, but of course, our interpretation was more of a contemporary one. So, similar feelings actually, not very different from each other.
-Kerem Arslanoğlu
