Sinetrons.

First it was DIA, now HIKMAH...
Indonesian Sinetrons, I can't understand why I'm so hooked on them.
Eventhough I shake my head in disbelief at the stupidity of the characters, the thin plot, the recycled storyline, I still watch them.
Jalan cerita, all the same.
Notice the number of times:
1) the main characters go in and out of the hospitals(to be warded or visiting).
Dunno how many times they get sick with some kind of terminal disease.
2) the main characters get knocked down by vehicles. Ape tak de zebra crossing ke?
3) the main characters get into "APA, Kecelakaan?" or "APA, si pulan bin pulan Kemalangan?!!".

I remembered in DIA, I was so mad at Dia-for being so forgiving& not standing up for herself & taking all the crap, mad at Ivan for being a weakling and a sissy, Fiffy-for her slithering ways. Now in Hikmah, I'm sooooo furious at Ana for being so forgiving & not standing up for herself, furious at Andrian for being a weakling & a sissy, furious at .......HA! See there's a pattern!
From what I heard, Hikmah 2 & 3 also same storyline. Di dera, di aniaya, di salah anggap...May I suggest an alternative ending.
Girl wakes up and realizes she ain't gonna take any more nonsense from anyone. She decides to do something worthwhile with her life. No longer will she be the victim of consequences. The next time she gets hit, she pulverizes that person to a pulp. She tells her hubby/soulmate to take a hike. She packs her bag and moves to another city. She gets a new life, a new job, a new haircut, a new wardrobe....something to that extent..

Been watching the Bold and Beatiful since 1997.
