As maybe I ever stated, I don't really like Indonesian drama (or usually called Sinetron). Most of them are presented with such 'too-bombastic' ideas and ridiculuous scenes. I never really understand how they (the movie maker) could make this day-by-day episodes without planning it carefully (alias kejar tayang. Susah nih bahasa Inggrisnya...).
But too be fair, I can't say that all Indonesian drama are bad. One or two of them are surprisingly nice and smart. One of it is "Kiamat Sudah Dekat " (Doomsday's coming over). Drama (or Sinetron) that is producered by Deddy Mizwar is now entering its third season. In fact it's already ended yesterday. Even though I don't really satisfied with the final episode, I can say that I satisfied with the whole story and characters.
What make differences between "Kiamat Sudah Dekat" (KSD) and other Sinetrons are the ideas behind it. Common Sinetrons love to show richness, some Cinderella story (the rich one fallin in love with the poor one), stepmother and stepsister story (how they torture their step daughter or step sister) and vice versa.
KSD, in the opposite, reminds us into our daily life. There's no such thing as a very big house, a very rich guy. Nope. The main character is just an ordinary guy, an ordinary guru (or ustadz). He's an ordinary person, with his strength and his weakness. The other characters show the same pattern; without over exposing. In the end, it's not surprising if this drama suddenly became one of the most popular drama on television nowadays.
Of course, there's always the main player behind good movies/dramas, and the one behind this drama is Deddy Mizwar. Keeping his commitment to make good and smart movies, he continues to 'break' the old rules of Sinetrons in Indonesia. Hope he can keep make such nice movies with smart ideas inside it.
