2018 Completed List
Dramas I watched in 2018: could vary from dramas and movies, also could be dramas from different years that I've watched in 2018 ^_^
Its funny, I never gave my time to short dramas before, but after I'm not a robot, I'm discovering all these other web dramas that are short as well, and are really good. Its making me go through dramas so fast, its weird. It reminds me of my binge watching/reading days of animes that were short like this, around 12 episodes, or manga that were one shots or one volumes. I really didn't realize there could be such short length dramas until now. I love this discovery of 2018. In conclusion, I'm sure this list will have lots of dramas because most of them will be short! ^_^
ANOTHER THING: K-movies... Ugh, They are so addicting. I can't believe this. I was never into them until My P.S. Partner, and now I'm just done. I'm a goner.
this was quite a summer. thats basically what it was. a summer binge. near the end, i kinda took a break, but here i am, back again in september. i can't believe how many NEW dramas i watched. i only rewatched 1 drama! im proud of myself. i usually get bored of dramas and start to crave a drama i love, almost like craving mcdys LOL, but i did really good ^_^. and the main reason why i did that was so i could quote it on my website lol. i love it. it makes me keep going and finding the key quotes that i love about my dramas. its a good reinforcer, even with dramas i hate but want to finish.
i hope to keep adding to this list until january 1st! do you think i can do it? LETS HOPE. ^_^
I wanted to add overall ratings like I'm trying to edit in all my old lists but I exceeded the word limit, so I'll have to be mindful to how much I let myself write lol!

1. I'm Not a Robot
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
What can I say about this? i don't know. I loved it so much. Amazing chemistry. Beautiful acting, beautiful music. She really did look like a robot to me. It was so weird. I loved this. "FRIEND MODE!" ^_^
I gotta say though, I'm so effing glad this was the first new drama I watched in 2018. It was so worth it. And it probably stemmed my current binge watching addiction right now.
-
2. Queen of the Ring
Korean Drama - 2017, 21 episodes
It was a cute series. I loved the twist at the end with the mom. It was adorable to find that out.
-
3. Because This Is My First Life
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This was hard to finish. It was just too mellow for me. If it wasn't for the other character's side love stories, I don't know if I could've finished this.. I think adding those stories saved this drama from being a horrible one.
-
4. Last Minute Romance
Korean Drama - 2017, 10 episodes
This was a really cute story. But I feel like it should've been longer, or not skip important aspects of the story that just ruined it. Definitely a fun watch.
-
5. The Universe’s Star
Korean Drama - 2017, 21 episodes
At the beginning, I didn't like this. Took 2 episodes or so for me to get into this. And then I was hooked.
-
6. Vivid Romance
Korean Drama - 2017, 21 episodes
Would I watch this again? No. But I did like this. It was really good. I loved watching their love, especially towards the ending.
-
7. Wednesday 3:30 PM
Korean Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
This was adorable. I loved it. They were the cutest together. Definitely a good watch!
-
8. Splash Splash LOVE
Korean Special - 2015, 2 episodes
Even though its just a special, this was a beautiful story. I loved the rain aspect, and the music was beautiful as well. Chemistry were off the charts, and it was funny as well. Definitely in my top 5 favourites.
-
9. Touching You
Korean Drama - 2016, 12 episodes
I actually liked this one. It was sweet, and the interesting plot of the visions made it even better. So many twists at the end. Loved that. Villian is a horrible actor in this imo though.. Sighs.
-
10. Noble, My Love
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
Even though everyone seems to love this, I found it boring and hard to pay attention to. I didn't see anything good about it except for the cute animals.
-
11. My P.S. Partner
Korean Movie - 2012
This movie... Jesus. I think this might be my favourite movie of all time now. Their chemistry was insane as well as their acting. And the story, HILARIOUS. It was so lovely. So beautiful. This is the story I lay in bed at night thinking about... Just because the story and their love was so beautiful. It makes me want to cry. They were so completely perfect for each other. That kiss in the middle of the street... Brb, I'm busy crying.
-
12. Mood of the Day
Korean Movie - 2016
Most of it wasn't that interesting.. But the ending.. I loved the ending. It was beautiful. Ed Sheeran's song was perfect.
-
13. Petty Romance
Korean Movie - 2010
It seemed to be too boring for my taste. I gotta say though, the best part of this is the ending, where the girl is just taking pictures of them making out. Kind of sad though... Thats all I enjoyed.
-
14. Very Ordinary Couple
Korean Movie - 2013
I really was expecting more than this. It had a mock documentry film style, which reminded me of the office (which I effing LOVE), so i got so excited at the beginning. It was also so effing crazy and hilarious... But then they stopped hating each other, and it got boring x_x. So for that, my rating wasn't as high. I gave it a higher rating because of that awesome beginning, plus for the film style. Sighs, too bad.
-
15. A Dramatic Night
Korean Movie - 2015
I assumed this was amazingly funny and everything by how hard people were trying to watch it. It was so incredibly boring imo. I barely remember anything that happened because I could barely pay attention. Very disappointing u_u
-
16. 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant
Korean Movie - 2004
I was wondering about this one... For years, if i liked it. But I was never into k-movies. So naturally, now that I'm into them, I gave this a try. Sigh. I should've tried this years ago, back when I first got into dramas, because I was younger then. I feel like this is a movie you'd only like if you were younger. It had its funny moments, but I just wasn't a fan. Wouldn't watch this again.
-
17. Go Ho's Starry Night
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
Wow. Loved this. Such chemistry. It was cute, lovely, and funny. definitely was worth it.
-
18. Suspicious Partner
Korean Drama - 2017, 40 episodes
Okay. Wtf. How can anyone drop this, how can anyone despise this, how can anyone find this boring? I DONT GET IT. IT WAS SO GOODDDD.
I'll always love this series, no matter what. It was so amazing. So funny, dramatic, the villain was effing amazing (an incredible actor, i swear), the storyline was so amazing. THE SQUAD. OMG. IMA MISS THEIR MEETINGS. them bickering, and then him getting fed up and yelling at them how "this is a meeting!!!" oh god, i love those guys. forever. how even though the ceo was the oldest, he was one of the kids - the FIRST BORN HAHA- and i loved how she became friends with that girl we all hated at the beginning because of the mishap with the ex. UGH. SO CUTE. I LOVED HOW EMABRRASSED SHE GOT FROM THE EX-GIRL TRYING TO TALK TO JI WOOK, IT WAS SO CUTE. TBH, THATS THE START OF WHEN I STARTED LOVING HER. and then they became friends, and i itrnjerfijmskwndfmed Ahh. too many squealing going on in my head. Like i'm seriously in love with this drama. i just can't- i don't get it. how can anyone hate this masterpiece? and i love how there was barely any love triangle. (probably because their life has enough drama in it that it'd be insane to add more ).
the best part of this drama were the friendships, then all the twists with the murders, tbh, the effing villain. loved him. and of course, the mc's romance. everything was cuteness beyond cuteness. i regret not watching this sooner. THIS IS WHY YOU WATCH THINGS EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE SAY IT IS BAD. BECAUSE THIS DEFINITELY WAS NOT. IMA CRY, IMA MISS THEM SO MUCH. :'(.
100% Recommended.

19. Nice Witch
Korean Drama - 2018, 40 episodes
this was a horrible drama. i didn't like it one bit. it was ridiculous. how can they make a drama this crappy, this effing long? 20 episodes for this? ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE. 16 would've been better. 20 was torturous. there wasn't enough chemistry or acknowledgment about her love for him until they switched back. it was ridiculous. she was constantly shocked by her ex-husband. it was repetitive. but i don't get why. bad directing, bad scripting, bad chemistry. never again.
the small rating i gave this drama went out to the appreciation of their love and the bond between the child and the mother. <3. but thats it lol.
-
20. Secret
Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
This was beautiful. i loved the theme song so much. had some rap in it, just like the song in kill me, heal me. loved it as well. god, their chemistry, was so beautiful. seriously. i love ji sung. fuck. he is such a beautiful and amazing actor. i cant even. i'll love anything he acts, i have no doubts now. and hwang joon eum was so beautiful too. what an amazing actress. they need to star in another drama together. they seriously do.
-
21. I Hear Your Voice
Korean Drama - 2013, 18 episodes
i loved this. i thought it was overrated but it wasnt. it was perfection.
it was so cute. i loved how he could hear her thoughts, it made the cuteness double fold when she finally fell for him. it was adorable.
he was an amazing actor, i won't ever regret watching this. im so glad i watched this and became a fan of his. i cant wait to watch while you were sleeping now.
this let me see how an actress i hated in secret can act amazing in a different drama. she was so heartbreaking and amazing.
i LOVED THE EFFING JUDGE. SO CUTE. HE WAS SO DUMB. I LOVED IT.
-
22. Protect the Boss
Korean Drama - 2011, 18 episodes
i loved ji sung. he was the only thing that kept me going. i swear to god. his smile is what got me through this drama. i just wasn't a fan. didn't have much to it, but its endless comedy. seriously, what was the story line? there wasn't much. after he grew out of his attacks, i felt like there wasn't any anymore. i was just waiting for it to end. but, the romance scenes were really good though. i loved them. so thats why it got half a rating. 5/10. because of ji sung and the romance scenes. they definitely had good chemistry going!
-
23. While You Were Sleeping
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
incredible. effing. amazing. it was unpredictable. full of twists and turns. so many effing twists and turns that everytime i thought one thing, they'd introduce EVEN MORE TWISTS AND TURNS. i've never been so surprised by an amazing series before. i'm not joking. there's been plenty of effing amazing series, i'll agree to that, but so amazing that i can't predict anything at all? nada. it must be because of the dreams. you dont know what is reality. and even when you do, you don't know when they're hiding a dream on you. the best fucking concept anyone could ever write was executed perfectly.
-
24. Radio Romance
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
what i liked:
chemistry, yura, radio, and the beginning...
what i disliked:
alot. wsnt my cup of tea unfortunately.
-
25. Pinocchio
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
the bromance. the best part of this series. i got so nervous and heartbroken throughout the scenes. i cried so much that i was exhausted.... thats never happened before. im sad they didnt include more bromance in the series. what a horrible decision. except for that, it was a beautiful series!
-
26. W
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
It was really good. Really good.
BUT WEIRD AF. lol. Weird and confusing and kept going all over the place. they definitely needed better planning.
i love the real world employees, her boss, and the manga assistant. THEY WERE HILARIOUS. "why is he always a mad dog whenever he sees me" LOL. or being mad about his lovely amazing manga becoming a romance LOL. it was cute. i loved it.
the reason why i rated it so high was because of the lead actor, god, hes amazing. no matter what hes in i love it. which is why this is the 4th series ive seen him in within a month lol. his smile, the twinkle in his eyes, his amazing acting, and the way he talks. I LOVE IT ALL. so it was because of him, and because of little moments in the drama <3.
-
27. Doctors
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
beautiful drama. light hearted. sweet. realistic.
beautiful chemistry.
i loved it to pieces. but i wouldnt rewatch it.
i loved how park shin hye took on a role like this. its such a mature and honest role. it was perfect for her. i loved it. i also love her long hair now. its so beautiful.
and the gangster aspect of her? LOVED IT. too bad it died down half way through the drama. it was my favourite part of the role. i love how strong she was. it was fantastic.
everyone did amazing in this drama.
-
28. Shopping King Louie
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
it seemed really pointless. it was a story full of cuteness, and tbh, a drama can't shine with only that. it was unrealistic.
even tho everyone loved this, i hated this. i only loved the music.
-
29. A Poem a Day
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
basically hated this series.
was so effing boring. i hated the male mc, he was so boring and not my cup of tea. i loved the poetry though and sidestories. beautiful aspect.
-

Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
hate. hate. hate.
-
33. Just Between Lovers
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Beautiful.
I was captivated from the beginning.
I loved everything about it:
o the flashbacks. i loved the fact you didn't know where it left off. you didn't what was really happening because of how they ended things and the point of view changing. i seriously loved the child actors just as much as the leads, if not more. <3
o the plot. i loved the fact they took something so realistic and turned it into a drama. about a mall crashing, and about all of the lives affected by it. it was crazy good and amazing. i loved it. i wish they could make more dramas with this kind of plot.
o the chemistry. beautiful. i loved how connected they were. and i loved how the despite their bickering, they were similar. for example, when he was breaking the stone, and she broke her model, god... what a way to end that episode. i had so many feels. such a deep and powerful connection. and the fact they almost met before that. their connecting moments kept growing and growing. i loved it.
-
34. Mask
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
a rewatch because i didnt finish it. so i tried again. finally completed it this time around. it was better than i remembered it to be, but so effing draggy. 20 eps was a bad idea, 16 wouldve been better. really good chemistry between the leads though!
-
35. Come and Hug Me
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
i dont know what to say lol.
loved this drama. it was beautiful, amazing... loved the acting, the plot was so itneresting and osmethng i'd normamly die for. but.
idk.
i didn't feel enough chemistry with the main leads. the romance seemed good, but i didnt feel anything... i loved the brthoer's acting. he was so amazing. he made me feel so sad and devastated and full of pain. god, what an amazing actor. he def needs to be in more lead roles. bromance is always the best kind of drama, i swear. he also really looks like ji sung! i love ji sung.
the father creeped me out so much i almost didnt wanna watch it past episode 2. he was so creepy. jesus. good acting, i guess???
i think this drama was hyped up for being 2018's best drama. because best drama of 2018? idk if its true, but i wouldnt put it that high up the bar. it was good, not amazing. okay. i just condriacted myself. i said it was amazing up there, i realize, but i meant it was really good. just got draggy, a little boring, and no chemistry with leads. that kind of drama i defnitely can't fall in love with. i did enjoy it, i did not regret watching it, i would recommend it, but i would not rewatch it. once was enough.
it almost felt like a copy cat of Missing You. i realize it was completely different, but some elements were similar to the point it seemed too similar.

36. Give Love
Hong Kong Movie - 2009
this... i expected it to be good, but it wasn't. a few reasons why: the difficult and horrible to read subtitles, i didn't like her character, his character was really vocally aggressive... so many times he'd lose his temper just like that, it was ridiculous. and the comedy? what comedy... it was so boring. if comedy is meant by her weird and crazy character, then i dont think they knew what comedy meant.
i would never recommend this to someone.
the only thing i really liked was the ending scene. the was surprising and cute.
-
37. Waiting in the Dark
Japanese Movie - 2006
this was beautiful. i really did love it. it was interesting to see Chen Bo-lin in a japanese drama. his voice seemed more deeper in japanese. despite there not being much lines between the two leads, the silence brought forward so many emotions; from their acting, to what they were doing, to their looks. i really did love this. only thing that i found sad was the lack of romance. it labeled it as romance, but the only thing this relationship could be described as, is a deep friendship, no further.
i was so relieved when he finally left the house, helping her walk out by herself. i was screamed in delight. im like, finally! lol
-
38. Love of May
Taiwanese Movie - 2004
i wish i could say i liked this, but i can't. why? I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT. LOL. people are all like, oh even though the subtitles sucked, i thought it was beautiful, la dee da. and im like, no. just no. i can't. i barely paid attention to the drama. because it was so boring, and hard to understand. sighs.
-
39. A Moment of Love
Taiwanese Movie - 2013
BEAUTIFUL. i loved it. the way they talked about love was amazing. i loved this. how they are trying to understand what is true love, what is the right love, and why did love change from the past. it was an amazing watch. i loved the chemistry between the leads. and how they laughed together like that. it was beyond cuteness. ANDDD THE EFFING 5 SECOND TEST. SO CUTE, I LOVED IT. GFINDOS.
people say it resembled to letters to juliet. yeah, it seems like that. but, its really different in plot wise. the only similarity was the fiance and letters. but everything else felt different.
-
40. Postman to Heaven
Korean Movie - 2009
this has been on my watch list for, idk, years! finally, i watched it. it got to the point where i wasnt sure if i watched it or not, thats how long i knew about this movie, yet hadnt actually watched it, as i found out. it was really good. i liked it.
the whole angel/ghost thing, i did not expect. idk what i expected. but it wasn't this. it was really sweet.
i love the idea of there being a mailbox for heaven out there. it reminds me of letters to juliet, where they left letters on the wall to ask for love advice.
i wish i could see something like this one day.
-
41. Old Boy
Chinese Drama - 2018, 45 episodes
i loved this drama at the beginning. and i kept thinking, no i wont be one of those people who hate the ending (because everyone seems to) but unfortunately, i was. UGH. it had so much potential. why did it start to suck? because too much episodes and too much additional drama. it ruined it. so 30-45. worst episodes ever. so unfortunate. it was such a good drama before that. beautiful relationships and inspirational dialogue. i loved it. seriously, too bad.

42. Reply 1997
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
This was good. better than i thought it would be like. i thought i'd be like love rain, ty god it wasn.t although, to be fair i did drop that drama. so i should probably rewatch it before judging it completely. ANYWAYS, OFF TOPIC. this was a sweet little watch.
pros:
o i loved the bickering, it was so sweet
o the coupons! so adorable. although a little disappointing she didn't use it towards her feelings for someone. thats what i was expecting.
o the fact he was treated like a son, always coming and going. it was adorable.
o the little moments of all the characters, so you get understanding over all of them. example, how her parents met. so cute.
cons:
o the lack of romance. there wasn't much until they were older, which was really disappointing.
o the brother. he had so much potentional to being a good, NOT CREEPY GUY. his back story was so saddening, it was awful. but then he went creepy and fell for her sister? it was so weird. lol. but in good news, i love the girl he was meant to be with. she was so crazy and perfect for him. i love it.

43. Reply 1994
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
this was really good. i loved all the characters and their bond. i felt a little disappointed when it started to getting draggy during the portion where she goes to Australia... it felt like they were just trying to use up episodes or something. 21 seemed like too many episodes. if they hadn't included that portion, i would've been happy. but i guess because they did include it, it allowed time for the male second lead to move on. but then i think, wasn't that just teasing him by thinking he had a chance when there's no way he ever did. anyways, thank heavens, they made it up on the last episode. that was such a good episode. i really enjoyed that.
i feel like i'm one of the only people who loved the main couple and wasn't disgusted or uncomfortable with it. he wasn't her brother, what's the big deal? they were so close like childhood friends they treated each other as siblings, until they realized they really just loved each other, and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. plus, they really, and truly suited each other. i loved seeing them together. i loved how sweet and gentle he was towards her and then the next moment they'd be fighting and bickering. it was beautiful.
so when they screwed that up, and added the Australia portion, i got so mad. they didn't deserve that. it was so obvious it was a plot device to prolong the episodes. i hated it so much lol. thank god for the last episode, huh?
also, am i the only one who LOVED they used the same mother/father actors? I WAS SO EXCITED. AND AND, THE EPISODE WHERE HE MEETS HIS OTHER CHARACTER FROM 1997, I DIED. all of the 1997 guest starring, i died. i wish they had some every episode, it was so effing great.
anyways, would i re-watch this again? No. i did enjoy it, but had too much anguish for me to rewatch it.
would i recommend this? yes, definitely. i think everyone should watch this at least once! it was a beautiful watch. -

Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
i'm surprised i didn't comment about this yet.
anyways.
this drama........................... is apparently the most favourite, most liked, most LOVED of the reply series. do you know what i think? IT WAS COMPLETE CRAP. i hated it. it was incredibly boring. i wanted to kill myself to just finish this drama. do you know how bad it was? it took me out of my drama marathoning mood. it was so bad i had to take a effing break from dramas. i'm not joking. i hated it so much. the first and second were so much better. but this one, i'll never tolerate again. i regret watching this piece of crap. never again. the only reason why it was rated 2 is because of the quote worthy narrating. other than that, just NADA.

45. Material Queen
Taiwanese Drama - 2011, 22 episodes
i have so many regrets with this drama. not because i hated it, god did i ever not hate it. it's because i tried watching it once before, and i effing dropped it. i thought it reminded me too much of corner with love, where she is rich and becomes abandoned and poor. but this is completely different. it was so beautiful. i loved their love. i loved their lovers spats, and their passionate kissing from all their fights. they had amazing chemistry. i dont understand how people would think they don't. so amazing. i loved this so much. it's my top tw-drama now. <3
