JAKARTA - The soap opera 9, which has been broadcast since May 27, immediately catapulted it into the top 10 favorite series on WeTV. Not only in Indonesia, soap operas starring Cita Citata, Fero Walandaouw, and Pamela Bowie are also popular in Malaysia.

This achievement made Fero feel happy and enthusiastic. "This week the soap opera 9 Bulan is broadcasting its fifth episode. The results from the first week of broadcasting episodes 1-4 are in the top 10, which is quite good. Well, we hope that the screening of this soap opera can bring in new viewers and new subscribers who use VIP access on WeTV," he said while talking to the media, at the WeTV office, Central Jakarta, Thursday, June 3.

Broadcasting on WeTV makes this soap opera easy to watch overseas. Fero did not expect the soap operas he starred in to become favorites in Malaysia.

"I didn't think Malaysia could be a favorite too. In fact, talking about OTT and TV that we have been living so far is quite different. Digitally, we can watch it anytime and anywhere," he said.

As a player, Fero admits that he can only do his best. "It's just how the audience accepts it. So for me personally, it's like entering a restaurant with a lot of menu choices. Here we offer fresher stories, new variants, it's just a matter of how they enter WeTV, they will get variations and can choose what they want. like it," he said.

The soap opera 9 Bulan, continued Fero Walandaouw, is the development of Indonesian soap operas that have been broadcast on TV so far. "I see that WeTV is the future of TV. If we come up with the concept of TV soap operas, we can catch up on broadcasting on WeTV with the time allowed to work on the development of stories and characters to the maximum. We can also take more varied pictures, we can use drones too," he explained.
