Erkenci Kus episode 19 recap

1. We start the episode with Canem having a heart to heart trapped in an elevator

a. Uff I never get tired of that raspy low whisper of a voice Can has in these moments...he apologizes so tenderly...keske they actually talked about everything instead of not bringing it up again but what can you do

b. This scene you see them both be so vulnerable ...all their feelings right on the surface...they both are hurting, in love and miss each other

c. Sanem: you know what I want most? To start over, can we just start over? You mean so much to me...Can: you mean a lot to me too

d. They look at each other , so desperate for other one and then they stand for a moment eyes closed, forehead to forehead, nose to nose...breathing each other in...sigh... Can is tracing her arms and Sanem has her hands clenched waiting for that kiss and then Can breaks away...uffff ya whyyyyyyyy

e. This is one of the most real moments of Asli's writing- Can says he cant trust Sanem anymore, he wants to start over but to trust her as a sevgil/beloved/romantic partner? He cant do that right now....He tells Sanem how much she means to him and always wants her to be by his side... but as friends...this really hurts Sanem to hear but it is actually a genuine moment where you can see it hurts Can to say it as well...he is afraid to trust and love her...even the "lets just be friends" speech was so wrapped in loving gestures and looks, you know he feels deeply but is too afraid to go there again...Can held on to her hands and did not let go in this scene until the end...in a ya know friendly way ;)

f. Sanem responds that not being able to talk to him and reach him has been so hard for her and that she never thought she would be able to talk like this to him ...and Can dorkly/cutely responds- like this in an elevator?...Sanem smiling: no openly with my feelings....your friendship even without being lovers is important to me

g. Can: Arkadaslar/friends then? Sanem: Arkadaslar....ok I'm going to say it ...Can,that is a lot of staring at her lips and holding her hands while saying the word "friends" lol...just saying if the elevator would not have jolted into action...there would have been other non -friend type action going on there...as they were so close in contact and Can kept looking down at her lips

h. Also to note a stark difference between his polen lets be friends vs. Sanem's ...with Polen he was distant when saying it, feeling guilty for not feeling what she felt back and Also genuinely just wanted to be friends with her and Polen was not having it...with Sanem it was more like a desperation of needing her to be close to him and not ready for it to be more than friends...I think Can was happy and sad that Sanem said yes to being friends...like he was maybe hoping for a grand gesture or something I don't know... what I do love about Canem is that even when they were together they were still friends...isn't that what everyone wants anyway – like Emre said later on- two friends that are in love with each other

i. The elevator is working so we are free then?...they both don't look relieved like they didn't want to leave that space

2. The elevator opens and a hilarious moment with the night guard- Canem look at him and he looks at them...they keep talking with the guard having the elevator door opened and Canem inside....finally the guard says: Can Bey? Are you leaving the elevator? Lmao.. they both get off the elevator like oh right ya we are leaving... Can says while leaving: Sanem it looks like you enjoyed the elevator huh? ...Sanem: it was very difficult especially if you have a phobia...I feel like this moment Can it was implying something but im not sure what...maybe that Sanem was partially undressed so it looked like they enjoyed themselves? Or maybe referencing the being on his shoulders? Or them being friends finally? Im not sure Asli's innuendos sometimes are too obscure to really get the meaning
