Unlike SEWU DINO, which focuses on three housemaids, JANUR IRENG will involve more characters and families. The conflict is no longer just about one target, but rather a brutal struggle for power and wealth.
"If Sewu Dino focuses only on three housemaids, here it's about one family against another. So what happens to these two families is quite significant and complex," added Givina.
