KUALA LUMPUR:
I occasionally watching something from Netflix. A few weeks ago I found a serialized drama set in Kuala Lumpur. I am not exactly what the language spoke is but there was lots of English sprinkled in along with the written text at the bottom I could follow the plot fairly well.
There are two cousins who are playboys and whose parents want them each to settle down and marry a good woman. They are living the good life going to fancy clubs and singing and dancing to Karaoke and the occasional drink.
There is no cursing. There are only two endearments, "Honey" and "Dear". This is a Malaysia and the film is modest to meet Muslim guidelines. There is plenty of plot. And of course they drive their fancy sports cars being all bad assed.
One cousin, Shiraz, own and operates Shiraz Inc. He is the CEO. It is an architectural business and they build big buildings.
The other cousin, Farhan, is basically not working but his father wants him to take over one of his companies. He don't wanna. The parents worry about when the boys will settle down.
The main girl figure is Nurin. She is a very modest Muslim girl who wears hijab, she can really rock it and she is beautiful. She is a recent architect grad and is looking for a job but cannot find anything because she has no experience. Her father knows the father of Shiraz and asks him for a favor if he can get his son to hire her.
Shiraz reluctantly agrees and instantly dislikes her because she hears a hijab and he thinks she is a country bumpkin. His father leans on him and Nurin is hired. Shiraz starts giving her crap jobs and becomes very demanding, take back this coffee, again, again and again. She does not like him and makes funny faces at him behind his back. In the meantime she is working on architectural plans on an Eco-project.
There is an office rival, a superior acting woman who is also an architect. She pursues Shiraz relentlessly. She tells Nurin immediately that she is the CEO's fiancé (English I girlfriend) and to stay away from him. Nurin rolls eyes. This goes on constantly and the girl barely shows up for work and no one can stand her especially Shiraz but he is basically too kind and becomes increasingly more desperate in trying to discourage her.
There plenty of plot twists. Jealous girl, hires some gangsters to beat up both Farhan and Shiraz. Shiraz's father goes into shock and goes to the hospital. Nurin gets shoved into traffic and winds up in the hospital.
One of the early plot twists is that Nurin gets talked into being a model for a friend. She wears a beautiful Hijab and a veil. She collides with Shiraz and he is fascinated by her beautiful eyes and becomes consumed with finding out who the mysterious model is. Nurin manages to keep him in the dark until the very last episode.
Farhan falls in love with Nurin and pops up constantly. She cannot see him as anything as a friend. He pops the question and she turns him down gently. He is crushed and throws himself into managing his fathers property and takes up his prayers to Allah.
A nasty lecher business guy is brought into the plot by jealous girl. He really likes Narin and plots to get her alone. At which point he gives her some tea which has date rape in it and she passes out. About the time he is making his greasy move, both cousins burst into the office and rescue Nurin. Ugh.
Shiraz gives up on finding his mysterious model who he loves. He is very tired of the jealous girlfriend and tells his father to let her run the business. He is going to retreat to study with a Imam and get good with God. Nurin is heartbroken.
Jealous girl runs the business into the ground and Nurin find Shiraz and confesses her love. He confesses his love as well and they marry.
The fancy hijab for the wedding is fabulous and the wedding itself was very interesting. Nurin sits in back on a slightly elevated chair and does not participate. The men are all sitting on the floor before the Imam. The ceremony is simple. "Do you, Shiraz accept 300 dollar dowry for Nurin". "Yes" handshakes all around. Shiraz goes to Nurin and sits next to her and opens the wedding ring box and puts the ring on her finger.
Very interesting. 25 episodes later, every body is happy. Even jealous girl repented and took up the Hijab.
