Harus Kawin is an Indonesian television series produced by SinemArt which aired from 5 January 2024 to 29 February 2024 on WeTV and iflix.[1] It starred Haico Van der Veken, Kevin Julio, and Junior Roberts.

Plot

Yuki and Michael, two childhood best friends, face immense pressure from their mothers to get married. However, their mothers' ambitions for marriage remain unfulfilled, as they both face career challenges and differing perceptions about marriage.

Yuki, a young director, and Michael, a talented screenwriter, are struggling to find work after graduating from college. A surprise comes when they finally get the chance to work at a renowned production house. However, an even bigger surprise awaits Yuki when he discovers he has to work with Maxim, the man who ruined his dreams and hopes during his college years.

Yuki's resentment grows when he sees Maxim's reckless behavior, which often involves women at parties. He wants to prove to Maxim that he isn't the nerd he once thought. Yuki eventually attends the production house's anniversary party. Ultimately, an unexpected incident occurs, leaving Yuki, Michael, Maxim, Cindy, and Brandon, their team, to face severe consequences, with Maxim being the cause.

However, the complexity of the story doesn't end there. Yuki and Michael's parents give them vacation tickets to Rabbit Island in the hope of finding a life partner. Maxim, learning of this, decides to go to Rabbit Island under pressure from his father, who wants him to have grandchildren soon. Maxim's presence there also aims to prevent Yuki, whom he has long admired, from finding a life partner there.
