In the Netflix version, there is a possibility of meaning shifts in the moral messages due to cultural adaptation, global marketing strategies, and narrative interests of the production. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving selected student informants. Data analysis follows Miles and Huberman's interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing
