Dongibab SynopsisThe series revolves around Fatah who inherits his fathers cybercafe. While Fatahs BFF Lukeman thinks there is no hope for the business in their small town, Lilian and a bus full of gamers get stranded there. Without mobile reception, their only hope for internet access is at Fatahs cybercafe. Unfazed by the circumstances, Lilian is determined to see her gaming festival comes to fruition, even if it means organising it in the small town and receives support from prominent gamer Mr Canto, while Juno wants to see her fail.

Uncle Dyy, FattahZie Gaming and Daddy Hood who have built a fanbase through livestreaming find themselves in front of a different kind of camera lens. They share their experiences of being in their very first scripted production.

Uncle Dyy I happy sebab dah lama teringin nak berlakon, and dapat peluang ini untuk berlakon. Dapat belajar something new for myself. Looking forward to explore more. FattahZie Gaming Saya seronok bila bekerja bersama rakan-rakan sekerja iaitu streamers. Walaupun pertama kali berlakon dah terus jadi main cast membuatkan saya rasa terharu dan bangga. Harap lakonan kami nampak natural. Daddy Hood Happy bila dapat pengalaman first time jadi main cast. Bukan senang nak deliver mood, moment dan jadi character yang lain. Harap lakonan saya tak agak kayu. Tapi saya happy dapat berlakon dengan kawan kawan & habiskan scene on time! Accompanying them is entertainment veteran Jaasuzuran who was with ERA for 5 years, a movie actor, singer songwriter and who has also amassed a livestreaming fanbase. He shared his experience saying, Saya berbesar hati dan bangga kerana diberi peluang untuk berkerjasama dengan rakan-rakan streamer besar di Malaysia. Terasa paling mantap dan excited!

Ellya Keesha takes her experience from being a mouseketeer for Club Mickey Mouse Malaysia to Dongibab. She said, I was nervous at first because Im not a gamer or streamer and this is my first time becoming one of the main casts, but in the end, it was such a joy working with everyone. Seronok sangat dapat bekerja dengan streamers yang power dekat Malaysia, diorang semua humble & kelakar, selalu menghiburkan semua orang dekat set walaupun dah pukul 12 pagi. It was great to see everyone working hard to make this happen and Im hoping for the outcome to be great too, InsyaAllah.
