Bride of the Water God (2017)
Habaekui Shinboo (original title)
16 episodes

 The Water God Habaek visits earth to fulfill his mission with the help of his servant in the human world, named psychiatrist Yoon So Ah, whose ancestor have promised to serve The Water God for generations. Unfortunately she doesn't believe in the gods and mistakes him for a delusional patient. Things get even more strange, when The Wind god Bi Ryum, The Water Goddess Mu Ra, and Demi-God Hu Ye shows up to complicate things. What will happen now.

My second Nam Joo-Hyuk KDRAMA series experience. I was filled with anticipation to watch this series, despite the negative feedback. I was eager to see him again after his role in Weightlifting Fairy, as I believed Nam Joo Hyuk would do justice to his character.

The second male lead, Lim Ju-hwan, also delivered an outstanding performance in his role. He connected deeply with his character, especially during the dramatic scenes. This marks the second series I've watched where he played the second male lead, and each time, he showcased his impressive acting skills.

However, I can't say the same for the female lead. I couldn't help but wonder if the series would have been better with a different female lead or if the first choice had been accepted.

Baywatch (2017)
R | 1h 56min

 Devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon butts heads with a brash new recruit, as they uncover a criminal plot that threatens the future of the bay.

Watched the TV series like almost 2 decades ago. This movie is way too different from the old versions with Drama Action theme, while this one is more on Rated R scenes and a lot of comedy scenes.  I can't stop laughing on the hilarious "Let me Help You" part.

Uncontrollably Fond (2016) on IMDb

Uncontrollably Fond (2016)
Hamburo Aeteuthage (original title)
20 episodes

 When Shin Joon-Young (Kim Woo-Bin) and No Eul (Bae Suzy) were children, they were separated and became heartbroken. As adults they meet again. Shin Joon-Young is now a top actor and singer. He is intelligent and attractive. No Eul is the PD of documentaries. She values money over justice and kisses up to those with more power than her.

Another recommended KDRAMA from my colleague America.  Initially, I didn't want to watch this, because I know that this is all drama, but she insisted.  I'd say that this brought me to tears, most of the episodes.  I was so gloomy, that I felt I'm going to be sick and sort of lost interest in doing the usual things I do on my Rest Days.  Though the lead female character shows us to be resilient, maintaining the positive attitude towards life, despite the negative/hardships/obstacles.

Death Note (2017) on IMDb

Death Note (2017)
1h 41min

 A high school student named, Light Turner, discovers a mysterious notebook that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written within its pages and launches a secret crusade to rid the world of criminals.

Didn't like this version over the Japanese Live Action.  Though I still managed to finish the movie till the end.
