GADIS KRETEK has successfully won the Best Mini Series award in the International Competition Program category at the Seoul International Drama Awards 2024. This Indonesian series competed against ten other nominees from various countries, including 3 Body Problem from the United States, Moving, The Worst of Evil, and Daily Dose of Sunshine from South Korea.
The Seoul International Drama Awards is an annual event aimed at honoring television drama productions from around the world. This event is regularly held in Seoul, South Korea.
With this victory, GADIS KRETEK not only carves out achievements on the international stage but also demonstrates the production quality of Indonesian dramas that is increasingly recognized globally.
1. About the Kretek Girl

The KRETEK GIRL series, adapted from the novel by Ratih Kumala, consists of five episodes and is directed by Kamila Andini and Ifa Isfansyah. Set against the backdrop of the Indonesian kretek industry in the 1960s, this series features Ario Bayu, Putri Marino, Arya Saloka, Tissa Biani, and several other actors such as Ine Febriyanti, Winky Wiryawan, and Sheila Dara. Since its release on Netflix on November 2, 2023, the series has attracted public attention.
However, KRETEK GIRL is not without controversy. The series is considered to romanticize and promote a positive image of the tobacco industry. This has sparked criticism as it is seen to reinforce a positive view of cigarettes that should not be encouraged, especially in the context of easily accessible media.
Additionally, criticism has also emerged regarding the potential global impact of this series. Because it is available on a streaming platform with little regulation, there are concerns that this series could introduce smoking addiction to international audiences, including children and teenagers in various countries.

Dian Sastrowardoyo, who plays the main character Dasiyah or Jeng Yah, expressed her gratitude for the victory achieved.
"I am very grateful to be a part of this success! Thank you for the amazing support from all of you," said Dian Sastro through her Instagram account on Thursday, September 12, 2024.
Meanwhile, Dian Sastro's co-star, Ibnu Jamil, shared several behind-the-scenes photos from the series GADIS KRETEK. In his post, Ibnu Jamil, who plays Seno Aji, appears to be speaking as if to Jeng Yah, with a posted scene photo.
"Jeng Yah, sorry if I'm bothering you, but I want to let you know that our series GADIS KRETEK won at the Seoul International Drama Awards 2024. Congratulations Jeng and the entire cast and crew, you are all amazing," wrote Ibnu Jamil.
The 43-year-old actor also included a jab at his favorite football club, Manchester United (MU).
"I am very proud to be a part of this great project. When the trophy arrives, please let me know so I can show it off to MU," he added.
