Sarp Korkuter: Thank You, Next character explained

Sarp, one of Leyla’s best friends, sabotages her chances of being with Cem. In Thank You, Next, Ahmet Rifat Sungar plays Sarp Korkuter.

Sarp is friends with both Leyla and Ömer. The three of them have known each other since college, and now Sarp and Leyla work together. 

What Leyla and Ömer do not realize is that Sarp used to have feelings for Leyla, but Leyla ended up dating Ömer. 

Over time, Sarp accepted the fact that he would always be Leyla’s friend and resolved not to let anyone come between Leyla and Ömer, the man Leyla chose over him.

Sarp and Beliz

When Sarp accompanies Leyla to Cem and Tuba’s divorce proceedings, he meets Beliz, who is Cem’s lawyer. 

It turns out that Beliz is the woman Sarp matched with on a dating app. Once the divorce is finalized, Sarp starts dating Beliz.

Eventually, Beliz becomes part of Sarp’s friend group. Sarp keeps joking about marrying Beliz and having children with her, but he is not truly ready for that commitment. 

He plans to propose to Beliz on her birthday, but before he can do so, Beliz surprises him by arranging their wedding.

Although Sarp, who even had doubts about proposing to Beliz, is not ready to get married yet, he goes along with Beliz’s plan. 

Soon after their marriage, Beliz tells Sarp that she is pregnant, and Sarp finds himself facing another commitment he is not ready for.

Sarp’s meddling

When Ömer and Leyla break up, Leyla starts dating Feyyaz. Sarp disapproves of her moving on with Feyyaz. 

He accidentally sends a message revealing that Leyla is seeing Feyyaz in a group chat that also includes Ömer. Sarp is unable to delete this message. 

The message upsets and infuriates Ömer, which leads to him getting jealous and creating a scene. 

Leyla eventually forgives Sarp for sending the message, but this is not the last time Sarp interferes in Leyla’s life.

When Ömer sees Leyla kissing Cem, he believes there is no hope left for him and Leyla. That night, he cries in Sarp’s company. 

Sarp, who had promised not to let anyone ruin the relationship that cost him his chance with Leyla, decides to take action. 

He sends photos of Ömer with Leyla to Cem using Ömer’s phone and pleads with Cem to stay away from Leyla. 

Sarp succeeds in driving Cem away from Leyla, and as he had hoped, Leyla returns to Ömer. They even decide to get married.

However, on the night before the wedding, Sarp sees Ömer with another woman. Sarp then starts believing that Ömer does not deserve Leyla. 

Thank You, Next Sarp
Sarp finds out that Ömer is cheating on Leyla

He gets drunk and sends Leyla a video in which he confesses his feelings for her and exposes Ömer’s infidelity. The next morning, Sarp begs Leyla not to watch the video. 

Leyla does not listen to him and finds out the truth. She feels betrayed not only by Ömer but also by her trusted friend Sarp.

While Leyla is angry and disappointed in Sarp, this video becomes the final push she needs to call off the wedding and leave Ömer for good.
