Bedak Arang

A quiet, emotionally heavy drama about legacy and loss, with a slow-building tension that keeps you invested in a family's struggles.

Overview: Lee is a blacksmith who greatly hopes his son will inherit the family's generations-old talent for iron forging. Unfortunately, his son is reluctant to accept his father's suggestion and offers various excuses. This situation causes Lee to decide to continue the business alone. Meanwhile, his wife, Xiu Ching, is a former renowned opera singer from the past. However, due to her age, no one seeks her out for performances anymore. Most of her time is spent at home as a housewife. Until one day Lee faces a criminal who blackmails and extorts money from him. Lee becomes increasingly stressed with his problems, and at the same time Xiu Ching is forgetting more and more things. The appearance of a young boy who shows a deep interest in iron forging brings light into Lee's life. He begins to see who he wants to pass his career on to. But will his dreams come true?
