 If you want a review, read this:  The story of a 33 year old woman put an end to the miserable question about getting married. myfels 31 May 2017 Source The literal translation is "When to mate?"  If you wanna know what's the Indonesian for the English title, it's this: Kapan kau akan menikah? Dinda is a successful Hotel Manager in Jakarta, but her parents think that she's a failure because she's still single in her 30s. An unacceptable thing for her parents who keeps their traditional culture by heart, where women should have babies in their early 20s. Dinda finally gives in to her parents' pressure. She devises a plan to hire an actor, Satrio, to pretend to become her boyfriend for a week. She brings along Satrio to Jogjakarta for her parents' wedding anniversary party. But what it seems as a harmless plan turns into chaos. All Dinda's plan didn't work out as she hope to be. Satrio turns out to be an idealistic and eccentric actor who never ...

The Legend of Layla and Majnun watch on NETFLIX Directed by  Monty Tiwa     Writing Credits   Alim Sudio ... (written by)   Monty Tiwa ... (story) & Alim Sudio Reza Rehadian, although is not a crush, harmless or not, is definitely one of my favorite actors. I made a list of the movies or drama series that he is in, and this is one of them.  The link above leads to the love story of Layla and Qais, the Majnun or a crazy or possessed person. In modern times, Layla's Majnun is called Samir, played by Reza Rahadian. Rehadian was able to convey every emotion Samir felt to the viewers so all of us felt his little joys and victories, as well as his feelings of sadness, emptiness, anger, frustration, et cetera. His speaking voice is sort of melodic, and so pleasing to the ears, and his eyes showed us and Layla(Acha Septriasa) how CRAZY he was about her. I love the scenes in Azerbaijan. It's a beautiful country, and the people are beautiful too. Of course, Jav...

SOURCE Directors: Ismail Basbeth, Hanung Bramantyo  Productions: MD Pictures Genre : Drama, Comedy Quality: 1080p Watch Via NETFLIX with English Subtitles After My Lecturer, My Husband I watched IMPERFECT (movie), IMPERFECT the Series , and When God Falls in Love , but even if I didn't write blogs for the three before this one, there is no doubt that Reza Rahadian is one of the best Indonesian actors there is. He is very versatile, and handsome too. I have learned a lot from this movie about their laws and I love the ending of this movie. It is very entertaining. 'Talak 3': A wonderfully crafted comedy  A REVIEW BY Hans David Tampubolon of The Jakarta Post When I first came across this movie I raised both eyebrows because I didn't understand why Risa had to get married first to another person, consummate the marriage first, then divorce that other person before marrying her husband (again). Before Bagas and Risa FINALIZED their divorce, they were asked several tim...

My Lecturer, My Husband(2020)

watch on WeTV watch on iFlix MY LECTURER, MY HUSBAND is an Indonesian RomCom that stars  Reza Rahadian as Sadewa Bentara Arya (Arya) and  Prilly Latuconsina  as Inggita Almira Arundati (Inggit) In Filipino inggit means envy, but I was so sure that's not what the name is in Indonesian so I tried searching for it, and thankfully I learned that it means encouragement. At the very least I guess she was named by her parents after the late former wife of President Sukarno, Inggit Garnasih, who was married to him, the great leader for Indonesian Independence, for twenty long years(1923-1943).  She died in 1984. What do I feel about the RomCom series? I did not expect to love this series, but I do.  I think the main characters have great chemistry. Prilly, the lady who plays Inggit, is not the typical leading lady, and I am very happy that they chose her to play the leading role.  She is beautiful and graceful(watch her pole dancing  during the ...
