This research examines the underlying ideology(s) of a TV program called 'Film Television' (FTV). This TV program is on during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Specifically, using framing analysis and gender perspective approach as a methodology, this research analyses how these ideologies developed in FTV. Six prime samples of FTV were chosen, namely Laki-Laki Buaya Darat, Cowok Gue IQ-nya Ancur Banget, Cowok Gue Pendek Bener, Pacar honorer, Ganteng-ganteng Medit, Pacar Gue Brondong. The findings reveal a thrust of the twin-contrarian thrust of messaging. There are two embedded ideologies underlying the FTV. First, the FTV production house carries a patriarchal ideology by raising themes that discriminate against women through stereotypes against women that appear in the story. Second, the FTV production house carries the ideology of feminism, with themes that position women as superordinates. Women occupy a higher social class than men. This finding of twin-contrarian ideological thrust offers an essential contribution to the gender theoretical vacuum of Indonesian TV as an example of Asian teen romanticism in national TV programming during a global crisis. It has conceptual implications on the repertoire of social science knowledge, especially sociology, particularly research on women's bodies and beauty, sociology of gender and media, and sociology of the family.
