#SHOWBIZ: 'Ke Mana Hilangnya Cinta' strikes a chord with viewers ahead of finale

KUALA LUMPUR: Producer Hana Hussain is excited about the triumph of her newest television drama, Ke Mana Hilangnya Cinta, which has become an instant hit with local viewers. Ahead of the drama's final episode, Hussain, who works for Million Pictures Sdn Bhd, shared with Harian Metro that the series has maintained consistent popularity on social media since it first aired earlier last month.

The 20-episode series, which can be seen on TV3, features the talents of Keith Foo, Syamim Freida, and Marc Syahmie. Hussain attributes the show's widespread acclaim to the perfect blend of a compelling plot and a devoted cast. The story draws inspiration from real-life situations involving Othello Syndrome and possessive jealousy that goes unnoticed in our community.

This mental health condition necessitates ongoing therapy, and Hussain aims to educate and raise awareness through her dramas. To ensure the message resonates with the audience, she collaborated closely with director and scriptwriter Azhar Khalid, also known as Apache, to conduct thorough research before filming. The drama revolves around the relationship between Aidil (played by Keith Foo), an administrative manager at a construction company, and Syahira (Syamim Freida), an interior designer working nearby.

According to Hussain, Aidil was immediately captivated by Syahira's genuine nature. He was attracted to her maturity, professionalism, and grounded demeanor, especially considering Aidil's struggle to open up after losing his wife a few years ago. However, their romance deteriorates as conflicts arise due to Aidil's increasing irrational fear of Syahira's loyalty.

Despite it being their first on-screen pairing, Hussain commended the main actors for their exceptional chemistry and performances. She emphasized the importance of carefully crafting Aidil's character portrayal to avoid the audience perceiving him as "crazy." The drama will conclude its 20-episode run tonight, and Hussain hopes that fans will not miss the finale.
