Çalıkuşu (English: The Wren) is a 2013 Turkish romantic drama television series aired on Kanal D that is based on the novel of the same name for the fourth time. Series was cancelled before completion, finishing before Feride became a teacher.
As a child, Feride, also known as Çalıkuşu for her weird behavior, loses her mother. Her father, a military officer, entrusts her to her maternal aunt, Besime, and her husband, Seyfettin. The couple starts raising her along with their own children, Kamran and Necmiye. When she is a teenager, Feride is informed that her father is killed in action.
Having become adults, Feride and Kamran still mess with each other, not knowing of their shared fate. Kamran has become a doctor working at a hospital. Necmiye falls in love with Selim, Kamran's friend and fellow doctor. Selim is instructed by Levent, his stepfather and an enemy of Seyfettin's family, to date Feride; the former quickly falls in love with her. He mistakes her for another woman diagnosed with a terminal illness. He informs her of the condition and offers a cure. She finds out about Kamran and Neriman, a middle-aged woman, and blackmails him by forcing him to pretend to be dating the former.
Seyfettin gets infected with cholera, an incurable disease at the time. Kamran manages to cure him with a blood transfusion, an illegitimate act. Seeing Kamran as a love rival, Selim reports the former's action to the local cleric. Kamran escapes, but is later captured and sentenced to death. The cleric pardons him when his own son is infected with cholera and he is forced to accept transfusion. Meanwhile, Feride realizes that she is healthy while Selim tries to poison her to prove she is sick. Necmiye finds out his plan and confronts him in her room. Kamran enters and mistakes it for a sexual relationship between the two, and ends his friendship with Selim. Kamran forces him to court and marry Necmiye, which is accepted by the family. Kamran and Feride are revealed to have fallen in love.
