Movie # : Fantastic Beast and Where To Find Them

I am not a fan of magical and wizard stuffs, 

But definitely a fan of fantasy movies.

I did not plan to watch this movie at all when it was first released,

Cus people said it was related to Harry Potter,

And I am not a fan of the Potter movie series.

But then, there were a lot of good reviews for the movie, 

And since the trailer for the second one is quite attracting,

I decided to watch it with Mushy on our regular Saturday movie hour.

The movie's official release date in Malaysia is on 17th November 2016.

The movie was 2 hours and 13 minutes long,

Which I almost fell asleep at certain parts in the middle,

Where there were excessive talking scenes.

Honestly, I don't like it when too much talking is going on.

It tends to bored me out a lot.

And for this movie, I only find the second half part of the movie interesting,

Where there was a little twist in the end,
And especially when there are a lot of action scenes going on.

I love to listen all the British accent talking though. HAHAHA.

Other than that, it just doesn't get much of my attention though.

Be it the casts, the story plot, the OST, or even the graphics.

But overall, it's really okay and so-so for a fantasy movie lover.

With that, I shall give it a 3/5 rate for this movie.

= Movie's Storyline taken from IMDB =

In mid-20s New York, Newt Scamander, the British young activist wizard, arrives in town, holding a mysterious leather suitcase which shelters a wide array of diverse and magical creatures that exist among us. Amid, an already fragile equilibrium of secrecy, and the increasing disasters ascribed to the dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald, Newt's precious suitcase will be lost -- and to make matters worse -- several creatures will manage to escape. Before long, this situation will catch Senior Auror Pervical Graves' attention who will target Newt, in the background of an invisible, devastating, and utterly unpredictable menace that still wreaks havoc on 5th Avenue. In the end, is there a hidden agenda behind Graves' intentions; moreover, what will happen to the remaining fantastic beasts still loose in the streets ?

Drama # - Bride Of The Water God

The trailer teaser for this drama is quite promising, 

That's why I decided to watch it, thinking that it would be another version of ''Goblin'',

You know... to cure my empty heart ever since. HAHAHA.

But seriously, this drama is really not that entertaining.

''Bride Of The Water God'' with a total of 16 episodes.

It was released in July 2017 and aired on TVN.

Starring Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung.

I put quite a high expectation on this drama in the beginning,
But after the first two episodes,
I found that this drama is sorta plain to be frank.
It doesn't have the roller coaster suspense and plot
Unlike those previous famous fantasy dramas that I have watched before.

Moreover, I felt that the chemistry between the main actor and actress is kinda stiff as well.
Even from all the written comments,
People are saying Nam Joo Hyuk's acting in this drama is not as good as the one in ''Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo''
I guessed it's because he was starring with his real girlfriend in the previous drama.
That's why the impact is kinda obvious.

I haven't watch that drama though,
It would be next on my list.
Anyway, I will only be giving this drama a 2.5/5 stars rating overall.
Because I fell in love with the sub character Moo Ra instead.
The character was played by Krystal Jung,
Which I have to say she really portray her Goddess character very well.
Her acting skills improved a lot from the last time I saw her in ''My Lovely Girl''.
And owh, have to support her because someone once told me before my face look a little similar to Krystal. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!

There are two OSTs that I really love inside this drama :

>> Savina & Drones - Glass Bridge
>> Lucia - Without You

I have a thing for very sad romance songs,
Full of that unexplainable emotions and feelings,
Felt like it touches and expressing that particular lonely spot deep inside my heart every single time.

= Drama Plot taken from Wikipedia =

When the narcissistic water god Ha-baek (Nam Joo-hyuk) visits earth in order to find a stone powerful enough to help him claim his throne, he seeks out the help of his servant and destined bride, psychiatrist So-ah (Shin Se-kyung), whose family is fated to serve the water god for generations. The problem is that she has no belief in the gods and initially mistakes him for suffering from delusions. Things get even stranger when the wind god Bi-ryeom (Gong Myung), the water goddess Mu-ra (Krystal), and the semi-god Hu-ye (Lim Ju-hwan) show up to complicate things.^[5][6]

Drama # - The Legend Of The Blue Sea

I was very very excited about this drama when their official teaser was being released.

I am not a fan of Lee Min Ho but I love Jun Ji Hyun, 

What makes me anticipated the most is that this drama is her first project after delivering her first baby,

She is one of the Role Model Goddess on my idol list.

''The Legend Of The Blue Sea'' with a total of 20 episodes.

It was released in November 2016 and aired on SBS.

Starring Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji Hyun.

The beginning of the drama was okay,

I enjoyed the first few episodes of the drama,

But to my disappointment, 

It kinda go down slope, as I found the storyline was getting boring towards the second half of the drama.

There were too much flash backs on and off from the Joseon era and the current life.

And repeating similar scenes with similar characters, 

In two different life, sounded kinda pale and weak.

Hence, it tends to get boring for me.

And towards the end, it took me a while to finish the whole drama.

Long after everyone was already over with the Lee Min Ho fever.

Don't get me wrong though,

Cus I am not saying this drama is not good.

The ratings for it is rather high in Korea,

And it was famous too.

I just don't like it for my own preference.

Therefore, I am giving it a 2/5 stars rating.

There is nothing I quite pick up from the OST collections,

I only love the Spain location where they filmed in the first few episodes of the drama,
And Jun Ji Hyun being the most stunning mermaid I have ever seen :) 

= Drama Trailer =

= Drama Plot taken from Wikipedia =

The television series centers on the love story of Heo Joon-jae (Lee Min-ho), the son of a rich businessman who becomes a handsome and clever con-man after his parents' divorce, and a mermaid named Shim Cheong (Jun Ji-hyun).Focusing on rebirth, fate, and unrequited love, their tale is juxtaposed with the parallel story of their Joseon era incarnations, town head Kim Dam-ryeong and the mermaid Se-hwa.

Drama # - Goblin (Guardian - The Lonely And Great God)

This is definitely another one of those awesome and best drama for me after 

''The Descendants Of The Sun''

Just hearing the name Gong Yoo as the main actor of this drama, 

Already win my heart and 5 stars full rating from the beginning :)

''Goblin (Guardian - The Lonely And Great God)'' with a total of 16 episodes.

It was released in December 2016 and aired on TVN.

Starring Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun.

It's very rare to have Gong Yoo starring in a drama,
As he once said he preferred a movie project rather than a drama.

But everytime when he is in it, you can bet the drama is going to be hot and famous,

He is such a good actor, I am already in love with him since his ''The 1st Shop Of Coffee Prince'' drama back in the year of 2007.

The first few episodes of this drama has very long showing time, 

Where it is 1 hour and 30 minutes per episode.

But after that, it resume back to the normal 60-80 minutes long of showing time per episode.

The first episode is rather a bit boring and scary at the same time, 

But it is actually the important seed of how everything actually started.

So you wouldn't want to skip it.

The storyline is very good and awesome from the second episode.

Which I enjoy watching until the very last finale.

One thing about this drama, is that you can never expect nor predict the upcoming plots,

The twist and turn of the story is bizarre and rare it keep me entertain the whole time.

And I must give a double thumbs up for all the casts inside the drama,

It is mainly because of their 200% charismatic and professional acting skills that this drama is a huge success.

All the facial expressions and body language are super surreal and on point,

I actually devoted my whole mind and soul into the drama together with them. LOL OK WTH.

The chemistry between all the actors and actresses are amazing,

Not only the two main characters spark in awe,

But also the two supporting characters,

Plus, the brilliant bromance relationship is a wonderful extra.

Anyway, I am so in love with all the OSTs of this drama,

I directly cut the songs into my phone's main ringtone, 

And even cut Gong Yoo's line as my BF message's ringtone.

Guess what, I have been using it for 8 months until this very day. 

It was super soothing to listen to his electrifying voice everyday, 

It gives me the strength to get my job done and motivated everyday.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

And it is always killing me to wait for the new episode release.

As they only release two episodes per week.

So I will be giving this drama a 10/5 stars rating,

And confirmed be in my Top 10 Favourite K-Drama list of all time :

1) Secret Garden - 2010

2) My Love From The Star - 2014

3) The Descendants Of The Sun - 2016

4) Goblin - 2017

Gosh, I am such a fantasy romance lover.

3 out of my favourite dramas are of fantasy genre.

Drama # - W - Two Worlds

Yup, you guess it right. 

It is because of Lee Jong Suk I start watching this drama. LOL.

I first came to know him from Secret Garden back in 2010.

But he was just a supporting character inside, 

And to be frank, he was a bit gayish inside so I don't like it much. 

But then his hairstyle and face sort of reminds me of Oily, I dunno why.

Even his horoscope sign is the same with Oily, coincidence I say. 

So, he is automatically listed in my favourite list of korean drama actors. HAHAHA.

''W - Two Worlds'' with a total of 16 episodes.

It was released in July 2016 and aired on MBC.

Starring Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo.

The drama plot is quite fresh and unique,

You wouldn't guess what will happen next at all.

Especially the clashing part of the comic and the human world,

Which keeps me quite entertain with all the suspenses.

It is the first time I am watching this type of drama,

I am giving a super thumbs up to the script writer who successfully 

bring up quite a new approach in the industry.

However, I am not a thriller fan.

There're quite some scenes in the drama that involves killing and blood shedding.

Which creeps me out a bit.

And the part when the bad character finally being revealed at the end,

It was scary and creepy to watch it at night alone inside my room.

EEeeeeeeeeeeee.

Anyway, I will give it a 4/5 stars rating, 

OSTs are just normal to me, but chemistry of the actors seemed to be good.
