Diew does his best to endure it—he likes this building—but one night he can’t take it any longer. He slams his door shut to let God know he has a neighbour. After having been there a month, God feels bad and—unsure how to apologise—addresses him from the balcony.

WeTV has not revealed an official air date for this series but we know it will be soon.
