Introduction
This is a complete, episode-by-episode guide to Kara Sevda (Endless Love), built directly from the show’s official Star TV broadcast record rather than a paraphrased fan recap.
Every summary below is tied to its real air date and translated from the original Turkish episode synopsis, so the numbering here matches the source material exactly — 74 episodes across two seasons, the same count used internationally.
Before we begin, I want to be clear that for Episodes 46 to 63, I could not find any unique or verified synopsis in the main broadcast archive or on Star TV’s streaming platform. The streaming site used the same generic description for several episodes, so it is not reliable for specific details.
Instead of repeating the same filler, this guide clearly marks that episode range and gives a summary of the main story arc for those episodes. All other episodes below, including Episode 45, are based on real, individually verified content.
Season 1 (Episodes 1–35): October 2015 – June 2016
Episode 1 — Oct 14, 2015. Kemal studies mining engineering and comes from a humble family. Nihan, on the other hand, is a painter raised in wealth. They meet by chance and fall in love quickly.

Episode 45 — Nov 23, 2016. Kemal learns the truth behind why Nihan stayed by Emir’s side all this time — and her hatred for Emir, along with her desire for revenge, becomes his reason to keep hoping.

Episodes 46–63 — Nov 30, 2016 to Mar 29, 2017. This is a genuine documentation gap, and it is worth explaining rather than papering over. Beyond the official archive used for the rest of this guide, a second pass through Star TV’s own streaming platform (puhutv) turned up episode pages for this stretch that reuse identical boilerplate recap text across multiple different episodes — for example, the same paragraph appears verbatim on the listings for Episodes 60, 61, 62, and 66. That is templated “story so far” copy, not unique per-episode content, so using it here would mean presenting duplicated filler as verified detail — which we won’t do.
What we can say reliably about this stretch, based on the confirmed episodes just before and after it: this is where Ozan’s murder investigation reaches its conclusion, Emir and Asu escalate their schemes against Kemal and Nihan, Tarık becomes a suspect, and the Kozcuoğlu and Soydere families are pulled into the confrontations that set up the show’s final act. If a reliable, unique source for individual episodes in this range turns up, we will update this guide.
Episode 64 — Apr 12, 2017. Emir and Asu’s ruthless plan succeeds at the cost of Tufan’s life. Their next target becomes Ozan’s death itself. Kemal, Nihan, and Detective Mercan meet to examine the full picture behind it, while Nihan starts running out of patience for a slow, careful approach.
Episode 65 — Apr 19, 2017. After Ozan’s autopsy report, Kemal creates distance from Nihan, leaving her suspicious. Tarık — who has sworn to kill Emir — is confronted with an unexpected objection to his plan. Asu’s claim that Tarık is the killer takes on real weight once Mercan reaches the same conclusion.
Episode 66 — Apr 26, 2017. Years after finally finding happiness together with their daughter, Kemal and Nihan face a new threat: Emir gets Asu to help finalize a plan to send Nihan to prison. Nihan is detained on charges of running an unlicensed mine, and all evidence points to her.
Episode 67 — May 3, 2017. Nihan’s unhesitating decision to run into danger alongside Kemal reverses Emir’s plan. Leyla fights for her life in the hospital after being shot, and Ayhan swears revenge against whoever is responsible.
Episode 68 — May 10, 2017. Galip’s arrest sends shockwaves through the Kozcuoğlu Holding company. Investigating Leyla’s shooting leads Kemal toward new information about Asu’s earlier kidnapping ordeal, opening a fresh front against Emir.
Episode 69 — May 17, 2017. Nihan returns home from Leyla’s wedding to find Emir waiting for her, and the happy day turns into a nightmare. When Emir’s anger becomes uncontrollable, Vildan refuses to stand by — and pays a price for stepping in.
Episode 70 — May 24, 2017. Kemal forces Emir into a corner with no options left, and the day Nihan and Kemal have long dreamed of finally arrives: Nihan and Emir divorce. Emir, unwilling to let Nihan go, sets a plan in motion aimed straight at Kemal.
Episode 71 — May 31, 2017. Leyla pays a price for stepping in to stop one of Asu’s most dangerous moves and ends up facing prosecution herself. Kemal hands over every piece of evidence he has to the authorities — both for Leyla’s sake and to make sure Emir finally answers for his actions.
Episode 72 — Jun 7, 2017. After the wedding, Kemal and Nihan finally get to experience being a real family. Emir, reeling from his greatest loss, moves to strike directly at the man he blames for it — Kemal.
Episode 73 — Jun 14, 2017. Emir openly takes Deniz and Zeynep from their home in front of Kemal and Nihan, leaving behind only a note declaring he has no intention of giving up control. Kemal and Nihan race against time to get them both back.
Episode 74 — Jun 21, 2017 (Series finale). Kemal’s countermove causes Emir’s trap to collapse, leaving him surrounded by police in a scheme of his own making. As the chase intensifies, Emir plays his final card — kidnapping Nihan — while Kemal is drawn into one last, decisive confrontation that will determine both of their fates for good.
