Hatırla Sevgili (English: Remember Darling) is a Turkish TV series broadcast on the channel ATV Turkey with already 46 episodes until the end of 2007. The series is running from November 7, 2006 on the Turkish TV channel ATV Friday evenings at 22:15 hrs local time. It is one of the most popular TV shows in Turkey.

The series is about the love story of Yasemin and Ahmet, two young people from confronting families and the romantic relations of their relatives and friends in a political era starting at the end of 1950s in Turkey. In the background, it depicts historical events beginning with Prime Minister Adnan Menderes' 1959 plane crash survival followed by 1960 military coup, the trial on Yassıada, the executions and other important incidents representing the radical political polarization of the Turkish society then after.

Two childhood friends and neighbors, Rıza and Şevket, develop opposite political views as they grow up. Rıza becomes a member of right wing Democratic Party and enters the parliament while Şevket, a public prosecutor, is a follower of the leftist Republican People's Party. Riza Bey's older daughter Yasemin fall in love with Şevket Bey's son Ahmet, however their families do not allow them to marry.

The TV series then progresses, and currently is portraying both historical and personal events during the 1971 military coup d'etat in Turkey.
