The film creates a multicultural environment by incorporating Betawi and Thai identities into its main characters. This diversity contrasts with more homogeneous romantic dramas. However, the story stays within traditional straight-centered structures, relying on conventional romantic clichés that do not challenge existing social or gender power dynamics. While the protagonist holds professional authority, the narrative emphasizes themes of fear and instability, which limits its progressive impact.
