The Story Of The Hostel Gang Pictured In Imperfect: The Series

JAKARTA - The production house Starvision Plus will release an original series, Imperfect: The Series.

This series is a spin off as well as a prequel to the film Imperfect: Career, Love & Scales which was released in 2019. This time, the director position is held by Naya Anindita, the person who directed Departure and Eggnoid: Cinta & Portal Waktu.

Imperfect: The Series tells the story of the four boarding houses of Bu Ratih (Dewi Irawan): Neti (Kiky Saputri), Maria (Zsa Zsa Utari), Endah (Neneng Wulandari), and Prita (Aci Resti). They face a myriad of problems ranging from love, family, to career.

It's hard to be a word that describes the shooting process. The reason is, they have to stop filming repeatedly because of the pandemic.

"We have routine swab. Rapid PCR same PCR periodic but not the whole crew. Random sampling. One day something was positive, I had to file a PCR to the whole crew. Starvision supports 120 people. It's that expensive to produce in the middle of a pandemic, ”said Ernest Prakasa, producer of Imperfect: The Series in a virtual press conference today, January 13.

Despite these difficulties, the cast tried to cheer up the filming atmosphere. "Filming is never sluggish, sleepy, like playing the problem," said Kiky Saputri, the main character.

"If we were four, it would be difficult to carry out the scene because we were mostly joking," said Endah alias Neneng Wuland while laughing.

The film, which received a good response, became a challenge for Naya Anindita. He felt that this film had 'finished' in terms of the characters of the four boarding house gang children, so there was a fear of not being able to provide something new.

“I try to do justice to every character. Imperfect the film is perfect. Early days of entry (production) Imperfect was afraid of uproar. The character is finished. "

But in the end, the shooting process for Imperfect: The Series was completed and ready to be broadcast to the audience. Apart from the four main players, this series will be played by Ari Irham, Arie Kriting, Reza Rahadian, Ernest Praksa, Bella Gap, Bintang Emon, and many others.

With 12 episodes in total, the Imperfect: The Series series will air from January 27 every Wednesday and Thursday on WeTV and iFlix.
