Love Me as I Am (2013)

Young Aysem and Omer get engaged, believing in each other instead of passing desires, and thinking they can overcome all difficulties.

Leaving her uncle’s house with no place to stay, Aysem sleeps rough in various places. Omer’s attention gradually starts to have an effect on her.

As a result of Omer’s shocking proposal, everyone is affected differently. Inci learns a startling truth about her newly-found secret love, Kerem.

When Aysem’s father finally permits her engagement to Omer, Seda is inwardly grieved. A surprise awaits Inci when she goes to see Kerem.

Unafraid of doing all he can to marry Aysem, Omer, together with Halil, tries to break her father Nail’s resistance and risks everything.

Omer proves himself to Nail, gets his permission, and calls his family to Akcaabat. Although heartbroken, Seda hides it. Inci goes after Kerem again.

Reha’s message that Omer has been kidnapped breaks Aysem, but Haluk and Halil are suspicious and, with Nail, set out on the trail of Omer.

Omer is not as hard on his mother as he is on his father. Nadide is hopeful of getting her son to take a step back.

Unable to find a place to stay, Aysem and Omer stay awake all night, while Omer’s father is determined to make his son regret getting married.

Despite being married, Aysem keeps Omer at a distance. Seda and Nadide’s plans go off like clockwork, and the young couple are increasingly estranged.

Aysem is enraged by Seda’s words and has a huge argument with Omer at school. While Omer tries to save his marriage, Nail misses his daughter.

Aysem and Omer are united against those who wish to split them apart, but when they find their dream house, there is an unforeseen development.

While staying in Nezih’s house, Omer looks for a way to both continue at school and save money to provide Aysem with a comfortable life.

Omer learns of Nezih's collaboration with his father. Taner invites Seda to his family's country house, where she ends up in a strange situation.

Omer rushes to his mother to ask what she has heard from Safiye. Meanwhile, Aysem tries to find out why Omer spoke with her aunt.

Omer’s house surprise delights Aysem. Their dreams have now partly come true, but Aysem is dismayed upon learning Omer and Safiye’s secret.

While Omer doesn’t see the danger that awaits him, when Seda learns of it, she stirs things up when she speaks to Aysem. Nezih and Reyhan grow closer.

While Aysem and Omer try to get over Nadide’s surprise visit, Reha’s plans are in motion. Nezih and Reyhan’s meeting goes well despite the setbacks.

With his father forcing him to leave Aysem, Omer fights back. Influenced by Nail, Eda tries to soften up Reha, but he is not at all pleased.

Nerves are tested when Aysem tries to prevent Omer’s family from breaking up while at risk of losing her bursary, and the couple decide to divorce.

Reha is overcome with joy at the couple’s separation. He tells Nadide his plans concerning Omer and is told not to hurry, but Reha does not listen.

When Reha sees his sister Eda with arch-enemy Nail, he loses his head. Omer tells him he hasn’t split with Aysem, while Nadide ends up in hospital.
