I'm always on the lookout for something new and interesting to watch, but this show just isn't my cup of tea. Maybe a younger person with more familiarity with Indonesian dramas might pick it up, but I just couldn't figure out the rhythm.
Starts out (first 60 seconds, so not a spoiler here) with the suicide of a young female student at an exclusive high school, and the "plot" is supposed to be her fellow students trying to figure out why someone so rich and popular would kill herself.
Unfortunately, I kept getting distracted by just how insanely wealthy these kids are, to the point where they're always yelling at their "maids" who are basically house slaves and just generally being selfish little pricks.
Secondly, none of the teens seem particularly sad or even distraught about their friend's suicide, even a female character whose parent(s) had died in a similar way (years earlier).
Indeed, except for the mother of the dead girl, everybody in this show is acting like the suicide is just a bit of light entertainment, with lots of joking around and silly stunts and getting excited about parties and taking Instagram selfies.
Third, the father of the dead girl is possibly the worst actor I've ever seen. All he does is shout and yell with no compassion or feelings about his family being destroyed in front of his very eyes.
For all these reasons, I simply just couldn't be bothered to care enough what the "mystery" was behind the suicide.
