  Yeah, I went into it blind so it was quite… Something. It’s told really well though, but it’s fucking BRUTAL.

  I looked it up last night and apparently it’s based on an Indonesian legend of the Ungrateful Child (basically, boy raised by single mum in fishing village, leaves to make money and doesn’t return for years. Turns up as an adult super wealthy, but pretends he doesn’t know who she is. So on his ship home, a storm happens and turns him into stone. Basically, respect your parents and what they’ve done for you, otherwise you could become the Ungrateful Child). I think they adapted it really well, but it isn’t my culture so perhaps there are things I’m missing.

  But yes, I was NOT expecting it dive into the topics it did.
