For the sake of the "Island of Angels" melodrama, where the actress got the main role of Sherbet, Nurgul made a short haircut, which did not prevent Yesilchay from appearing in the frame of the "Temporary Bride" TV series in the role of a dazzling beauty with a luxurious shock of hair. The parents of the young Ali (Onur Yunsal) hire the teacher Emine, who must teach the young man to believe in himself. But suddenly both participants in the experiment fall in love with each other.

In the mid-2000s, Nurgul transforms into an unexpected guest in the comedy "Problematic Sister-in-Law", which two relatives - Faruk and Dilek - constantly intrigue.
