He realized that the success was not his own. Film is a collective work that requires the common awareness of all involved in it.

"This success happened because the people in it worked amazingly. In my opinion, like soap operas, films, OTT, it's a collective work. Without a good story, a cool director, cool co-stars too. It's impossible for a product to be successful. succeed if it is not assisted by the team involved," he said.

Prilly Latuconsina did not imagine My Lecturer My Husband would be successful in OTT. This series brings young to adult audiences to be willing to pay when they want to watch.

"Honestly, I didn't think it would be successful. Because My Lecturer My Husband was the first project during a pandemic. At that time, we were the ones who dared to produce during a pandemic. So it was really gambling, 50-50 percent. I didn't expect it to be this successful," he said.

2. Good Story

Because when choosing a role, Prilly always considers the story first. "Because I think the script is the most important element for soap operas, films and OTT. So the story will be the first consideration. Then how can my character develop," he explained.

3. Competent Play Opponents

Reza Rahadian certainly plays an important role for the success of My Lecturer My Husband. Because for Prilly Latuconsina, her co-star gave her positive energy.

"If the co-stars can't be invited to cooperate well. Can't have a good discussion, then it will definitely be seen playing alone. Because in my opinion, good actors can be invited to work together. Because we are balanced, not more dominant or inferior," he insisted.
