"Gil Dokht" is a literary and traditional-inspired series

In response to the question of what components contribute to the visibility of an artistic work (television series), it can be said that a good script, or screenplay, is crucial for

 the visibility of a series. Both the text itself and the style of expression and narrative differentiate one work from another. One of the main features of the "Gil Dokht" series is that it has a screenplay that seems rooted in literature and tradition.

A philosopher once wrote that any interpretation of the past is worthless if it cannot become part of the present and relate to its current situation. It means that returning to the past is not possible unless we can make the past relevant to today and engage with it in the meaningful horizons of the present. In fact, it seems that "Gil Dokht" has this characteristic as well. That is, its text is interpretable based on the horizons of contemporary life.

Loyalty to the concept of love.

One of the main themes of the "Gil Dokht" series is love, and this can be an important factor in attracting viewers. The concept of love has been highly regarded not only in literature but also in philosophy. From Plato, who delved into the concept of love in his significant work called "Symposium," to later philosophers like Roland Barthes (in his book "A Lover's Discourse"), Levinas, Nancy, Alain Badiou, and others, thinkers have explored the theme of "love" and sought to give it fresh meaning for themselves and their audience.

Cinema has always had love as one of its main subjects. From the early years of cinema's history, one genre that has consistently drawn a large audience to the silver screen is romantic films. Fans of this genre sit down to watch their favorite actors, getting influenced by them, shedding tears, and laughing wholeheartedly with their sweet moments.

It seems that romantic films serve as an affirmation that love still holds importance in the world, and even in the toughest times of life, surviving with affection and love can bring a person safely through.
