“Even then, the real competition is with yourself. It’s exciting to feel that you can always do better with each episode. Now, after fifty episodes, I’m really happy. I’ve found a lovely family on the show, with wonderful people. The support and positive environment make working enjoyable. It feels great to work in such a joyful atmosphere, and I hope we can continue together for many more episodes, creating more beautiful moments,” she shared.

“If there is a challenge, it’s usually about keeping the character interesting, which I think is necessary for maintaining excitement and enjoyment in the role,” she said.

Talking about the environment on the set of the show, Sayli said: “With fifty episodes, I feel like each day we’ve made new moments. We might have our fights and disagreements, but you miss those moments when you look back. It’s like in a family -- you might be upset about something, but the next day you feel sorry and realize it shouldn’t have happened. It’s exactly like that on set.”
