We’ve consciously taken note of increasing cases of bullying that resulted in depression among young people, due to a fully open digital world we bring this drama to our viewers to reflect and start social conversations around these subjects. And together with Angga’s and Emil’s magical touch, we have successfully translated our vision into a piece that takes this season to the next level with deeper connect to the audience, stylized character growth, and an immersive plot which is believed to make the audience even more engaged than before,” said Viu Indonesia Country Head Varun Mehta.
