Kapanlagi.com - The production house Imajinari will once again present its latest special film in theaters across the country. Unlike previous Imajinari films that mostly had comedy themes, this time Imajinari will showcase the romantic drama side of their upcoming film.

LOVE IS NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS KOREAN DRAMA is the next film to be released in theaters by Imajinari. In the released trailer, producer Ernest Prakasa will present a love triangle story involving Ganindra Bimo, Lutesha, and Jerome Kurnia.

During the trailer screening press conference at Epicentrum XXI, Kuningan, Jakarta on Thursday (17/10) last week, producer Ernest Prakasa also revealed that this film is the most expensive film and the first film written and directed by a woman ever produced by Imajinari.

"This is our most expensive film to date," said Ernest Prakasa.

"She (Meira Anastasia) has been a Co-Director for previous Imajinari films. So when she wanted to direct on her own, I felt she had enough experience from our collaboration. So she can be trusted to create whatever she wants," he continued to explain.

The film LOVE IS NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS KOREAN DRAMA (CTSDK) presents a complicated love triangle story involving Bimo (Ganindra Bimo), Dhea (Lutesha), and Julian (Jerome Kurnia). Bimo is a well-established adult man who was previously Dhea's boyfriend. The story continues when Dhea (Lutesha) receives a sweet surprise from her boyfriend, Bimo (Ganindra Bimo), a trip to Seoul, South Korea, along with her two friends, Kikan (Dea Panendra) and Tara (Anya Geraldine), who also love Korean dramas like she does.

Dhea has a great time there, and everything goes well. Until Dhea accidentally meets her high school ex, Julian (Jerome Kurnia), whom she has not been able to forget. The tension between these three characters forms the core of the romantic story in this film. Will this situation be like the dramas that happen in real life or not?

The writer and director of the film LOVE IS NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS KOREAN DRAMA, Meira Anastasia, admits that she really enjoyed watching Korean dramas during the pandemic. This is what inspired her to write and create a film centered around romantic stories similar to the Korean films and dramas she had watched before.

"So, there are several series or Korean dramas (drakor) that I asked them (Lutesha, Bimo, and Jerome) to watch. One of them is the drama TRUE BEAUTY, which is also a reference for me. Then there is WEIGHTLIFTING FAIRY KIM BOK JOO, and another one is REPLY 1988. Basically, there are several, but the one I think they really need to watch more is TRUE BEAUTY," explained Meira Anastasia in an interview with the media on Thursday (17/10) last week.
