Marriage Without Dating



one sentences : TvN has almost never failed to make the best drama with the best ending scene!

Nah, as i've said at the post before that this drama shouldn't have this title because of the fact that they date and get married later after that but well, forget it. First impression of the first episode was giving a good vibe and here i am, waiting and watching till last, finally, i shall copy JangMi's word that "The Marriage is so like us" and i love that ending.

Although this drama gives the twist till the end, i still love the idea of the ending. if they give the marriage ending like something-doesnt-happen-there, i think i wont love it that much.

Last but not least, i recommend this drama! ThankYou.

Swiss : Little Snow in Zurich - Alvi Syahrin

Because this is Indonesian novel, i think i'll write this in Indonesian language. So let me be.


Buku ini gue beli karna merupakan edisi "setiap tempat punya cerita" dimana latarnya adalah di luar negeri. Gue suka dengan cerita- cerita berlatar di luar negeri karena setidaknya, imajinasi gue bisa digunakan disini. 

Hmm, tadinya gue mau nulis review di goodreads.com but well, setelah membaca review orang- orang, sepertinya review gue bakal sebelas dua belas sama mereka, jadi sekalian saja gue tulis di blog ini.

Swiss, hal pertama yang terbayang jika menyebut Swiss tentu saja adalah salju, dan tentu saja, prolog dan epilog dari buku ini yang melihat dari POV "si salju" bakal jadi bagian terfavorit gue akan buku ini. Hal kedua yang menjadi favorit adalah, campuran bahasa swiss disini yang tentu aja jadi memberikan kesan kalau si penulis benar- benar melakukan riset buat novelnya ini. Opini tentang adanya bahasa asing ini mungkin bias karna gue sendiri suka ngomong campur aduk bahasanya dan gue suka gaya bahasa begitu. hehehe
Selain itu, gambar- gambar di dalam novel ini juga cukup oke, i mean, itu memperkaya imajinasi banget meskipun gue baca buku ini tengah malam dan selesai jam 2 pagi.

Selanjutnya mengenai isi, yang membuat rating gue di good reads gue turunkan menjadi 3/5 despite of kelebihan- kelebihan itu tadi. Gue senang sih, seenggaknya novel ini dinarasikan dengan baik, dan enggak kayak buku travelling yang bikin gue jadi capek bacanya. Narasi tentang latar dan kejadian itu mengimbangi satu sama lain dan i like it, honestly.

Nah tapi yang gue kurang suka adalah karakternya sendiri yang ya well, gue tau mereka SMA tapi mereka tidak dibawakan seperti SMA, bahkan awal- awal membaca ini, dalam dunia imajiner gue itu, mereka mungkin SD atau SMP, ya begitulah. Selain itu, tokoh utamanya Yasmine atau Rakel? well, gue setuju dengan pertanyaan salah satu komentator goodreads ini karna gue juga gak yakin siapa tokoh utamanya. Yasmine gak punya latar kenapa Yasmine itu Yasmine, you know what i mean, sementara Rakel dibentuk dengan sangat baik, gak seimbang gitu sih.

Elena dan Dylan, gue akan lebih tertarik kalo mereka enggak "datar-datar" aja, i mean, gimana ya, Gue sempet mengira masalah mereka musuhan akan lebih dari konflik yang diceritakan penulis, misalnya Elena suka sama Dylan atau apalah, dan baikan dengan sedikit lebih "klik", bukannya "kita uda maafin dari dulu kok." Buat gue sih jadi gak berasa klimaksnya mengingat Elena sama Dylan sempat berpandangan kalau si Rakel ini gak berubah dari dulu. Bahkan putusnya Rakel sama Reene si ex lebih dramatis dari pertengkaran sahabat ini..

Hmm terus ya gue gak perhatiin yang lain- lain sih, yang kalau kata komentator goodreads yang sama ini namanya random rants, tapi betul sih, ini random rants yang kena banget di gue pas si Rakel terbang dari Swiss ke New York dan dia lewat Asia, baiklah, gue jadi bertanya- tanya dengan konsep bumi itu bulat dan eropa ke amerika gak usah lewat asia, atau gue yang salah. hahaha

Terus balik ke karakter, agak sebel sma Frau Steiner yang randomly ngajak terbang ke New York disaat yang terlalu telat dimana harusnya menurut gue cerita akan punya ending lebih baik saat "agenda musim dingin" selesai ditambah dengan sedikit epilog tentang salju dan it's done. itu cerita yang gak perlu sih kalau menurut gue. Anyway that's my review. Maaf kalau ada kesalahan kata- kata dan Sukses terus ya, Alvi Syahrin.

My Drama Watching List - now

1. King Of High School - it just ended some days ago, so i will give a separate review, maybe..

2. It's Okay, That's Love



i have so many reasons as to why i decided to watch this :
* I have interest in psychology things and whatever that comes with it
* The main lead is Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin, that successfully acted in "The winter, the winds blow" and "The master's sun". I love both of them, and it wasn't dissappointing, after all.
* The story it self is unique in it's own way, and well, as i have always said, the first episodes has made me want to watch more.
* As it goes on, this drama has something to look forward to in the next episode, always.

The synopsis it self is HERE

3. Joseon Gunman



Okay, It's Lee Joon Gi, but the poster wasn't catchy enough to catch my attention, at first. I tried mainly because Koala was recommending it in her blog and she even makes the recap. Simply because i always love her recommendation and she always have watched almost the same genre with me. The first episode of this drama did catch my attention and i start to love this drama after that.

And anyway, Lee Joon Gi's japanese is awesome. The synopsis is HERE

4. Fated to love you (korean version)




i really really don't like Jang Hyuk hair style changed and because i already watched the taiwanese version and i like it so much, so i try to watch this. Luckily their hairstyle change after 12th episode i bear with it.
The story is just as awesome as the taiwanese version but to be honest, i like taiwanese version more. It's just more something "click" with me. hahaha

The synopsis is here

5. Marriage without dating



the OTP's chemistry is so adorable. and they acted so hilarious. lol. but somehow i feel like the title shouldn't contain marriage because they still haven't married yet. well, whatever. tvN never dissappointed me with their rom-com and hopefully the ending won't be dissappointing as well.

the synopsis is here

6. Jang Bo Ri is here



This drama is too makjang seriously but i always sticked with it till now. and the main lead is so handsome. hahaha but i don't recommend it to anyone who doesn't like too long drama because i feel like this will be my first and last time lol

watching too much episode of a drama is too hard for me, anyway the synopsis is here
