Part comedy, part drama, part romance. The last 15% made the difference between a 3 star and 4 star rating. The comedy of errors swerved too far into secondhand embarrassment cringe for my personal preference. That said, the representation of Chinese-Indonesian families and filial loyalty, honor, etc was both lovely and a learning experience.
