I have to admit that the writers seem to take delight in throwing every possible obstacle at the two main characters and at times it seems to be more than necessary, but such is the world of these Turkish "dizis"--they don't usually go on forever like "As the World Turns" or other American soap operas, but they certainly aren't as concise as a simple movie.
So if you enjoy the characters, it gives you ample time to really get to know them and watch their development. I agree that Asli is quite the character--and so are Tayyar and Metin and even Nulifer although she was the most annoying character for me (but well played). I thought it was interesting how important extended families seem to be in that society and how they manage to put up with even the most annoying personalities (like Melike and Fatma) and marriages join families together much more than in our culture. It seems children consider themselves orphans when they lose their fathers but not their mothers.....so the patriarchy is strong. I also enjoyed seeing all the random cats and dogs stray in and out of scenes.
I also have to admit that I became a huge Engin Akyurek fan after watching this in spite of his apparent hot headed intensity in this role. In the end, he becomes somewhat tamed by Elif. He also plays a leading character in another Turkish serial that is world famous called "What's the fault of Fatmagul?" about rape. It is another well-done story but even longer than "Black Money Love". You can find it

But if you watch it you will probably not recognize him at first since he is somewhat of a chamleon in the different roles he plays.
In terms of Netflix, just type "Turkish Series" into the search box and you will find there are lots of choices available. Among these, I also enjoyed "Winter Sun" and "Intersection". I obviously have had a lot of spare time during this isolation of the pandemic. Enjoy if you have the time!
