This soap opera has a storyline about the life of Doel and his family, a Betawi family who still maintain traditional values even though they live in the midst of the current modernization of urban Jakarta.[1] In addition to Rano, this soap opera also stars Benyamin Sueb, Maudy Koesnaedi, Cornelia Agatha, Aminah Cendrakasih, Mandra, Suti Karno and Basuki. Consisting of 6 seasons and 139 episodes, the story is a modern version of the novel Si Doel Anak Betawi by Aman Datuk Majoindo and the film of the same name directed by Sjumandjaja in 1972. In the film version, Rano Karno also plays the role of little Doel and Benyamin S. plays Doel's father. It's just that at that time, Doel's father's name was Asman, not Sabeni like the soap opera version.

Kasdullah, usually called Doel, is a young Betawi man who tries to maintain his family's noble values amidst the progress of the times and the current conditions of the development of the city of Jakarta. At the request of his parents, Doel studied at a private college majoring in mechanical engineering. His father, Sabeni, was willing to sell land assets and even cancel plans to go on the hajj with his wife, Laila (Mak Nyak), in order to educate Doel as high as possible. Their hope is that Doel will not follow in his father's footsteps as an oplet driver. In this first season, Doel accidentally meets Sarah, a mixed Indonesian-Dutch girl, who without Doel's knowledge then uses him and his family as objects for her thesis research. At the end of the season, it is said that both Doel and Sarah have successfully graduated as bachelors.
