Imperfect the Series is an Indonesian comedy-drama television series produced by Chand Parwez Servia, Fiaz Servia and Ernest Prakasa under the banner Starvision Plus.[1] The series which aired from 27 January 2021 to 4 March 2021 on WeTV.[2] This series is a spin-off of the boarding house gang story in the 2019 film Imperfect: Karier, Cinta & Timbangan.[3]
Plot
Four girls living in a crowded neighborhood in Jakarta are Maria, Neeti, Endah, and Prita No Limit. Each has their own story and character.
Maria is a girl from Merauke who came all the way to Jakarta to join her older brother, Yosep. Yosep and his friends are Easterners, as we often see them: fierce, loud-talking, and feared.
Maria falls in love with Bima, a young nurse who is the nephew of Mrs. Ratih, their landlady.
Neeti is a celebrity makeup artist who is dating an actor (extra) named Doni. Neti is a typical young Indonesian who is often blinded by love.
She is willing to spend money for her lover. However, unfortunately, their relationship ends. Neti is heartbroken when Doni finds out she was having an affair and is left to marry. This heartbreak leaves her with no desire to live.
Another boarder is Endah, a Sundanese student and a K-Pop fan with a large collection of posters. Endah is a kind child who is vulnerable to bullying and exploitation.
She is also often arranged marriages by her parents, like most village girls. Unfortunately, Endah is arranged marriages with a male boss.
Another boarding house resident is Prita No Limit, who works as a mobile phone credit shop attendant. This outspoken woman tends to be indifferent and manly.
She doesn't like to dress up, enjoys playing games, and doesn't pay much attention to her appearance. However, she cares deeply about her friends and family. She has a slight problem with her younger sister, who is the opposite: beautiful, a TikTok star, and very concerned about her appearance.
