Viu believes that From Saga With Love has the potential to captivate not only Malaysian viewers but also those regionally.

The storyline of From Saga With Love revolves around Karma, an aspiring social media influencer who finds herself bluffing her way into becoming an interpreter for A-list actress Bianca Rozario during her Saga, Japan trip.

As Karma seizes this opportunity, she must navigate a web of deception to avoid exposure while simultaneously carrying out a secret mission assigned by Bianca’s controlling mother, Kathy, to uncover the mysteries of Bianca’s love life.

With the inclusion of Bianca’s amiable videographer, Bob, and the reserved Sham, the series promises a comical rollercoaster of problems, solutions, and romantic entanglements. Siti, known for her remarkable performances in recent years, takes on the role of Karma. Sophia portrays Bianca Rozario, and her career is marked by acclaimed works and prestigious awards.

Fimie, a familiar face in local dramas, plays Bob, while Ikmal takes on the role of pottery apprentice Sham. Ikmal’s career has seen significant growth, including an international debut and success in the fashion industry.
