Warning: Cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health, and star-crossed lovers are dangerous to your heartstrings.
Cigarette Girl is a stunning period piece, with sets and costumes to match, and the dramatic, smoke-filled frames that doesn’t just stun, it smolders. Visually, the show has everything set, but what makes Cigarette Girl stand out is how well it establishes the main relationship. We’re introduced to the two main leads at different timelines. Dasiyah, as a tobacco heiress who cannot be a cigar artisan due to her gender, yearns for freedom and artistic liberty. Soeraja, years later, happens to be the head of a major cigarette company, who’s about to die. Through the two different introductions and timelines, viewers can already figure out what happened, but it’s the contrast between them that drives the show’s mystery. And when the two finally meet, it’s Dasiyah’s yearning that draws her to Raja, and it’s such a striking meet-cute that makes their romance so watchable.
