In a sophisticated atmosphere, accompanied by live music and fine dining, guests enjoyed a special evening celebrating the international success of Turkish drama. Between courses, the appearance of the actors added a touch of glamour to the event, with cameras and smartphones quickly turning towards the charismatic Burak Özçivit, the star of Land of the Sun.
