The Latest Imaginary Film ‘LOVE IS NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS KOREAN DRAMA’ 2024, Presents a Love Triangle Story Between Ganindra Bimo, Lutesha, and Jerome Kurnia

All the drama begins when Dhea (Lutesha) receives a birthday gift from Bimo (Ganindra Bimo) in the form of vacation tickets to Korea with her two friends, Kikan (Dea Panendra) and Tara (Anya Geraldine). In Seoul, many unexpected things happen, including Dhea's meeting with Julian (Jerome Kurnia). What was intended as a refreshing getaway turns into an opportunity for Dhea to face a difficult choice.

The relationship between Dhea, Kikan, and Tara is also not free from conflict. Their journey in Seoul actually uncovers secrets that each of them has kept. There is Kikan who is struggling to save her marriage, and Tara who has to face rumors of infidelity. Their friendship becomes increasingly complicated, but that is where they learn to understand each other.

The writer and director of this film, Meira Anastasia, admitted that during the pandemic she became a huge fan of Korean dramas. That is also what ultimately inspired her to make this film, with a romantic storytelling style like the dramas she watched. But although inspired by Korean dramas, this film still has a strong Indonesian nuance and is definitely very relatable.

“Since the writing, I have imagined how each scene will be developed. There are several approaches reminiscent of Korean drama shots that we indeed used in this film. Meanwhile, from the story side, of course, fans of Korean dramas will find familiarity. That there is a love triangle, there is a lead and second lead actor, indeed in its execution, this film uses a Korean drama approach, with the flavor of Indonesian cinema,” said Meira Anastasia.

Ernest Prakasa as the producer added that the production house Imajinari is always committed to supporting young creators in developing their fresh ideas. So, it’s no wonder that this film will feel original and have a depth of story that is rarely found in similar genres.

“Imaginary always believes in the stories brought by its creators. We are confident that by providing space and full support to the creators, it will create works that can not only be enjoyed but also have maturity of ideas within them,” said Ernest Prakasa.

For those of you who are already familiar with Lutesha, this time she appears differently. There are no eccentric characters, but rather a simple, adorable woman.

Ganindra Bimo also steps out of his badass zone to portray the sweet and caring Bimo.

Meanwhile, Julian, played by Jerome Kurnia, appears as a man with a dark past and a fragile heart. "Julian is someone who is a lost soul. He is still searching for the meaning of the emptiness he feels. Until finally, he is given the opportunity to meet Dhea, who, according to Julian, is capable of filling his emptiness.
