GADIS KRETEK has been available on Netflix since November 2, 2023, and has attracted public attention. However, this series has also not been free from controversy as it is considered to romanticize and disseminate a positive image of the tobacco industry, which has sparked criticism for reinforcing positive views about smoking.

This award is a proud achievement for the production team of GADIS KRETEK, including Dian Sastrowardoyo and Kamila Andini, who joyfully brought home the award trophy.

4. Best Miniseries Award

The Best Miniseries award in the International Competition Program category shows that the jury of the Seoul International Drama Awards recognizes the quality and uniqueness of this series.

This proves that the Indonesian film industry is increasingly recognized at the international level. Hopefully, more works from Indonesia can exist abroad.
