    What We Lose to Love

    [Dalam rangka ngikutin karya-karyanya Yandy Laurens]

    Jadi ceritanya bulan lalu ku langganan Disney+ Hotstar karena mau ngikutin sekuelnya Kim Nam Gil (The Fiery Priest 2). Tapi ku kehilangan napsu nontonnya karena terasa terlalu... komedik? Semuanya terasa terlalu dilucu-lucuin buatku. Akhirnya enggak penasaran nontonnya.

    Terus pas menjelajah isi library Disney+, ketemulah bahwa ada karya Yandy di sini! Yaitu serial ini.

    Yang kusuka dari serial ini adalah akting Reza Rahadian. Berasa villainous banget hanya dari kata2 dan mimiknya pas berakting. Langsung draining…

    WKWKWK komedi tak berujung sih ini. Dan sebenarnya ending ceritanya udah ke-spoil dari quote yang disisipkan di awal.

    The Great Journey

    Reda: "Why didn't you fly to Mecca? It's a lot simpler."
    The Father: "When the waters of the ocean rise to the heavens, they lose their bitterness to become pure again..."
    Reda: "What?"
    The Father: "The ocean waters evaporate as they rise to the clouds. And as they evaporate they become fresh. That's why it's better to go on your pilgrimage on foot than on horseback, better on horseback than by car, better by car than by boat, better by boat than by plane."

    Ada banyak kesamaan drakor satu ini dengan My Mister:

    1. Sutradaranya.
    2. Genrenya slice of life. Realistic, sometimes filled with mundane routine... but that's how we live, no?
    3. Soal hubungan atasan laki-laki paruh baya dan bawahan jauh lebih muda yang minim pengalaman kerja kantoran (lebih berpengalaman sebagai tenaga informal).
    4. Tone warnanya gelap dan dingin.
    5. Ada peran sendal kantor/slippers dalam cerita.
    6. Elemen politik kantor, bromance, leads with "pitiful and hard life"? Check.
    7. Semangat "hang in there"…
