JAKARTA - The soap opera Tersanjung was able to captivate the hearts of the Indonesian people until it could last for 7 seasons from 1998 to 2005. The total soap opera starring Lulu Tobing, Ari Wibowo, Jihan Fahira, Primus Yustisio, Cut Tari, Febby Febiola, Mega Utami, and Reynold Surbakti has reached 360 episodes.

The touching story of an orphaned girl, Indah who was raised by her uncle's family, Kadir became the basis for the soap opera Tersanjung. Indah works in a printing business helping her uncle.

One day Indah met Bobby who was a customer. Gradually from the introduction, the interest between Indah and Bobby grew. Indah who is still innocent is lulled by Boby's seduction until she finally gets pregnant. Retno, Kadir's wife, found out that Indah was pregnant and threw her out. Kadir and his daughter Ratih have tried to prevent it but to no avail.

This soap opera has been produced in the form of a film, but its broadcast is hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Tersanjung will be re-produced by WeTV Indonesia and Multivision Plus Entertainment in the form of a series.

WeTV Original Tersanjung the Series still tells the life and love story of Indah, a beautiful, lonely girl who lives in Jakarta. Fate brought him together with Bobby, his first love and Rama, a man who loves Indah sincerely.

WeTV Original Tersanjung the Series is the work of director Anggy Umbara and is played by Jessica Mila, Rezky Aditya, and Rayn Wijaya. WeTV Original Tersanjung the Series will begin production in June 2021.
