Watching Bima actually feels really different compared to actual Indonesian soap operas (low end shows of no redeeming qualities). The signature style of those soap operas involve something like shouting in the middle of road while a car is ramming to you, pounding sound in each single tension with the camera panning close to the actor/actress' face, etc.

Zacros Monster is the most memorable foe to me, and yeah Shadow Crisis gave a better presence and threat than Topeng Besi (for now...). He stands out with his unfailing politeness while confronting Bima, while not reducing his sinister part.

Cuz Ungu is the name of the band that sung Seperti Bintang.
