Title: The Archetype of Modern Romance: Hande Erçel’s On-Screen Partnerships and Off-Screen Persona

Abstract: Hande Erçel has emerged as one of Turkey's most influential actresses, largely due to her mastery of the romantic drama genre. This paper examines the symbiotic relationship between her off-screen public romances (notably with Murat Dalkılıç and the rumored connection with Kerem Bürsin) and her on-screen fictional love stories. By analyzing her iconic roles in Aşk Laftan Anlamaz, Sen Çal Kapımı, and Bambaşka Biri, this paper argues that Erçel’s success lies in her ability to blur the line between performed intimacy and perceived authenticity, creating a "meta-romance" that captivates global audiences.

"Aşk ve Gözyaşı" Series: Erçel is currently starring in this Turkish adaptation of the hit Korean drama Queen of Tears. She stars alongside Barış Arduç, playing a wealthy woman facing a deep marital crisis and serious illness.
