Korean drama in correlation with BMKG
The question sets down to how Indonesian BMKG was involved in this. February 14, official Indonesian BMKG Twitter posted that they were shocked having its organization, BMKG, to show in Twitter's trending topic. The administrator of the site admitted that he thought there was an earthquake. 

It turned out the misunderstanding was lifted through the same theme that the series brought with BMKG. The series plotted its story in the area of the Korean BMKG office. For that reason, Indonesian BMKG was also dragged to the new Korean fever. 

Meanwhile, if you're intrigued, Forecasting Love and Weather shows every Saturday and Sunday and is available on Netflix.
