Finally, its the time for this post !
Because this is a busy year for me, so there are not many dramas that I can watch. Mostly, all the dramas I watched are during my semester breaks.
From this 16 dramas, I will rank it as usual. But, i will not tell more about the synopsis as it can lead to spoiler. You can search it on wikipedia to know more about the synopsis, casts or anything. This time, I will just mentioned why I watched this dramas and why I recommend it.
So,
So,
The first one...
1. LIVE ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Whatever it is, I will always vote this drama as the best drama of 2018. The cast, the OST, the plot, everything is perfect for this drama. This drama consists of 18 eps from tvN. The ratings is quite good and all the casts got the reward for their best acting for this drama. This drama unfolds the story about how newbie police try to solve the case and adjusts themselves with their senior colleagues and the society. There are so many things to learn from this drama, the friendship, the teamwork, how tough is their career. Dont ask me how many time I cried while watching this drama. This drama is really recommended for all. Its about live and life.
2. LIFE ON MARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I dont have a good impression of this drama at the first time. Its just I dont have anything to watch at that time and the plot and cast seems attracting. From this drama, I get jealous with SNSD Sooyoung. How can he get a man like Jung Kyungho. Jung Kyungho is the man lead and the detective in this drama. It is time slip drama whereas the man lead suddenly went to the year 80s to solve the crime in 2018. I finished this drama in a short time because of their interesting plot. The cases are amazing and the main case is so interesting. This is one of the best time slip drama with crime as their genre and the other one I had suggest before is Tunnel. All the casts play their roles very well as the detectives and Go Ahsung as the only heroine really did her best to portray the girl power in this drama. Totally recommended !
3. VOICE 2 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the second series of Voice. I had mentioned this drama as the best drama in the previous post and this time it is also not disappointing. The change in the male leas really bring a whole new story. Spoiler : This drama had been confirmed for their 3rd series so the ending is hanging.
Even though the main plot this time is not creepy like previous, but the case is so interesting because it revolves around themselves. They didnt realize that someone who looked innocent is actually the culprit. What I dislikes this time about this drama is they reveal the villain too early until I realized that this drama contains only 12 eps. Thats whyyy.... Oh ! Please anticipate the case about the video of zombie. It was hilarious in the same time creeeepyyy.. I really hope season 3 will be good and will come out sooner ~
4. YOUR HONOR ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is one of the best law drama that I ever watched. I really love Donggu acting. Even the casts of 2D1N keep talking about this drama. I actually start to watched this drama because of the lead heroine. Lee Yooyoung is actually the girlfriend of deceased Kim Joohyuk, the ex cast of 2D1N. She actually really good in acting and I really love her character in this drama. In this drama, she played the character as the assistant judge for Donggu. Donggu played the double character as he has twins. One of them is the judge and the other one is ex convict. Both of them has a really opposite character until the judge missing and his twin need to replace him. That's until he realized that what he did all this time is wrong and try to learn about justice. Both of the main lead received awards for their characters in the drama.
5. 100 DAYS HUSBAND ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Im not a fan of idols acting but this drama is exception. First, its D.O from EXO. Second, it is historical. Im so thirsty for historical drama. Third, the heroine is Nam Jihyun. All is enough to recommend this drama as one of the best drama of 2018. This drama shows us about the prince who was 'dead' for 100 days and lost his memories and live as another person in the countryside. Because of some circumstances, he need to get married with a girl and adjust himself as a commoner. It is really hilarious watching him trying to adjust himself. He keeps saying he is not comfortable with anything. And suddenly, he fall in love with his wife. Things started to stir when they bring him back to the palace and he start to remember everything. The supporting casts are also good in their character and Chen EXO OST for this drama is totally recommended.
6. TERIUS BEHIND ME ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the most recent drama that I had finished. I just started it last week and managed to finished it in a few days. Overall, it is a fresh plot. So jisub did really well for his comeback drama. I dont really know Jung Insun as the female lead but she did really well. The casts and plots is really amazing as the tell more how NIS work and the technologies used by agents and spies. This drama has that James Bond feeling but in more hilarious way. The ending is satisfying and the main focus in this drama is of course the 2 kids. Both of the main lead did really well playing with them and they are really cute ! Love it so much !
7. LAWLESS LAWYER ⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the best law drama this year. Even though this drama has a heavy plot but the main highlight is how the lawyer works in this drama. Lee Junki and Seo yeji is my fav actors so watching them as couple is a big uwu for me~ I cant describe more about this drama but what can I say it is recommended for people who really loves law drama likes me or loves the cast or else you might abandon this drama .
8. PARTNERS FOR JUSTICE ⭐⭐⭐
This drama actually got many critism while they are being shown. I just watched this drama because I got curious. I dont know any of the casts so I just tried to watch the first eps. Surprisingly, it is so satisfying and new. Its been awhile since I watched any of autopsy scenes and this drama is actually shows the career of prosecutor and a pathologist. The cases is quite rare and I think its really amusing. You can know everything when they do autopsies. Its scary. I even learnt that the corpse can even lie in the autopsies. Its really recommended for people who can stand all this bloody things. I thinks its bearable. I actually can stand all of this so this is not recommended for people who hate medical things.
Spoiler : its ending is hanging and season 2 is confirmed !
9. TIME ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The saddest drama of the year. Dont asked me how many times I cried for this drama. I think the last drama that leaves scars in my heart was Angel Eyes. It was a melodrama with saddest opening eps that I cried in my dreams. This is another heart throbbing drama. Fyi, this has received a lot of negative responses since the premiere eps. I think you should read it online but actually I tried watching this drama because all those negative responses. It makes me curious. Once again. Soohyun SNSD really deserve hugs and applauses for her acting and I really wants to console the main lead, Kim Junghyun. Because of emotional acting, it has affect him in real life so he decided to leave the drama for the sake of his mental health. I think many of viewers critics him for this reasons, but people who watched this drama will know how burden is his character in this. I not recommend this drama if you has weak heart.
10. HWAYUGI ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The comeback drama for Lee Seunggi ! It is a fantasy drama from adaption of New Journey to The West. Oh! I really loved the cinematography of this drama. The casts is hilarious and it is a new kind of fantasy that never been shown. Hwayugi did really well actually, and have to mentioned that Bora and Hongki did really well as the supporting actors. The love story in this drama is quite unique as they are bond with the bracelet. The bracelet has the power to makes the hero falls for the heroine and cannot be taken of easily. They always denies their feelings as they thinks their relationship is only because of the bracelet but actually Seunggi really falls for her and the bracelet has lost its charms. This is really recommeded as a light drama you need to watch.
11. WOK OF LOVE ⭐⭐⭐
It is perfect drama for people who loves chinese foods. The combination of Junho 2PM, Janghyuk and Jung Ryeowon are perfect for this drama. It shows how the chinese restaurants compete to survive and how to makes their foods more unique than others. I think the most interesting thing in this drama is how the skills of the chef being shown and how hotel serves their foods. Food lovers should give this drama a try.
12. YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is a a short drama and I tried watch it because of the interesting plot. I cant remember well the plot but it revolves around the relationship between girl and guy best friend that end up falling in love with each other. Lee Yooyoung acting in this drama is really nice to see and even it is a short drama but i really recommended it. A soft, mellow but in the same time it is not boring !
13. WHAT'S WRONG SECRETARY KIM ⭐⭐⭐
The casts and plot is amazing. The only reason I give this drama 3 stars is because of its cringe plot. Park Seojoon and Park Minyoung looks great in suits and the plot that tells about a romantic relationship between a boss and his secretary. It is a romcom drama and I can assure you it is funny ! But, it is so cringe HAHAHHAHAH! Really recommended for fans who love romcom and want something light to watch!
14. MY AHJUSSI ⭐⭐
I really have high expectation for this drama. It is only because of IU because I am such a huge fan of her, The drama also a hit when it was aired so I really downloaded all the eps and want to watched it at my college. But, it is not fun as I expected. The plot does not suits my style and I cant really relate myself with her character. But, the plot is great and the casts did a really good job in portraying the reality surrounding us. I really love the ending ! It was satisfying and they really deserved all that ! This drama really worth to win awards !
15. THE SMILE WHO HAS LEFT YOUR EYES ⭐⭐
Until today, I still cant figure out this drama plot and I'm not satisfied with it. Is it because I dumb or I really take time for watching this drama, I also dont know.. At first, I put this drama in my list because of the fantastic cast and it is a comeback drama for Seo Inguk after awhile. There is no problem with the cast, the actors and actress actually did a great job, but its just the frustrating plot that I hate. They should give this drama a happy ending after all the suffering they give to the characters. Sorry, its a big spoiler.
16. GRAND PRINCE ⭐⭐
The only reason I watched this drama is only for Yoon Siyoon and it is historical drama. The plot is not bad but it does not managed to attract my attention until the end. I end up skip all the eps till the last eps. But, nevertheless, it received many positive review from other fans of historical drama. You guys should give chance for this drama and enjoy it !
