1. The Beauty Inside
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
The beauty inside you is a romantic comedy with a mix of melodrama it also had a beautiful story and meaning behind it all. I must admit I did cry a few time during this show, but I was also laughing and smiling during it just as much.
The main storyline between Han Se Gye(Seo Hyun Jin) and Seo Do Jae(Lee Min Ki) was so sweet and funny. You also had your cute and funny side storyline with Ryu Eun Ho(Ahn Jae Hyun) and Kang Sa Ra(Lee Da Hee) which I loved throughout the drama
I would defiantly recommend watching this.

2. The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes has this dark theme to it yet you get a beautiful story between the two main characters that have this mysteries bond between each other. This drama had its ups and downs for sure, but it kept me interested all the way until the end.
As always Seo In Guk and Jung So Min did a fantastic job as main leads.
I would recommend this for people who like an intense storyline with a beautiful love story mixed in with it.

3. Terius Behind Me
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Terius Behind Me had some of the best comedy in it, but it also had its heartwarming moments between Terius(So Ji Sub) and the kids of Go Ae Rin(Jung In Sun) mixed in with a little bit of romance too. I would also like to say there where so many good side characters in this show, trust me you will laugh a lot during this drama thanks to these actors as supporting roles Kim Yeo Jin, Jung Shi Ah and let's not forget the master of Korean comedy roles, Kang Ki Young.
This one is not hard to recommend because I think anyone would enjoy this drama to some degree!

4. I'm a Mother, Too
Korean Drama - 2018, 124 episodes
I'm a Mother, Too is an okay daily drama that touches on a few topics about what it means to be a Mother, and our main lead Yoon Ji Young(Lee In Hye) did a fantastic job of portraying this throughout the show. This drama had its good points and also its bad ones for sure, this drama had a slow build ut, but watching the ending of this show made it all worth it in my opinion.
I also think the main cast did an okay job there where some things I dd not like for sure, but that's just how typical daily dramas work, it has its highs but also its down periods.
I would recommend this as a filler drama you could watch in between other shows you are watching!

5. The Ghost Detective
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
The Ghost Detective was one of the better detective/mystery dramas that I have watched, our two main lead Lee Da Il(Choi Daniel) and Jung Yeo Wool(Park Eun Bin) both worked together to solve mysteries together. I would also like to high light what a fantastic job Seon Woo Hye(Lee Ji Ah ) as the villain in this drama.
This drama has a little of everything in it a thriller, horror, mystery, supernatural and even a little bit of romance in it.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes dramas that are intense and keeps you on your toes until the very end.
Also hoping they can make a season 2 would be cool to see Lee Da Il(Choi Daniel) and Jung Yeo Wool(Park Eun Bin) working to solve more mysteries!

6. Hide and Seek
Korean Drama - 2018, 48 episodes
Hide and Seek has to be the most dramatic drama I have watched so far this year. The storyline was nothing too special, but it had its good points for sure, but what made this drama great was Min Chae Rin(Lee Yoo Ri) she did a fantastic job of playing a badass female with a mix of craziness, other Cast did a solid job as well.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a drama with an intense storyline plus some fantastic acting from Lee Yoo Ri

7. Where Stars Land
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
Where Stars Land was one of the dramas that I was hoping would live up to the expectations I had for it, what I did like about show were the main leads Han Yeo Reum(Chae Soo Bin) and Lee Soo Yeon(Lee Je Hoon) storyline. The only problem is that they left so many things out about the storyline.
Now I am hoping they do a second season too clear up a few plot holes left out, even so, I would recommend you watch this, it still had its feel-good moments between Han Yeo Reum(Chae Soo Bin) and Lee Soo Yeon(Lee Je Hoon).

8. Secret Moon
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
Mee Piang Rak had some great chemistry between the two main leads Jaokha(Jarinporn Joonkiat) and Thanadon(Ken Theeradeth Wongpuapan) they were adorable together, and this drama is one of the better romance/comedy lakorns I have watched this year for sure.
I would also like the mention side storyline between Haew(Cake Nattavat Kaewbuasai) and Theerada(Suksawat Krissie) without these two this drama could have been a bit dull. The main storyline had it strong and bad moments for sure, but overall I liked this drama until the end, it was the lighthearted and cute moments that made this drama good.
I would recommend this to anyone who is up to watch some good storyline plus romance/comedy with some great chemistry between the characters!

9. Anguished Love
Thai Drama - 2018, 12 episodes
BPEE KAEW NANG HONG first of this drama had great chemistry between the two leads Pikul/Rarin(Ranee Campen) and Khun Raj/Niraj/Willy(Warintorn Panhakarn) some excellent acting between the two of course.
This lakorn had a lot of sad moments in it, but in the end, the lakorn slowly built up to become a very satisfying ending for me. I think this drama had an okay storyline nothing too special.
I would recommend watching this if you don’t mind grinding out all the sad moment’s end at the end get a satisfying ending.

10. Prom Mai Dai Likit
Thai Drama - 2018, 27 episodes
Prom Mai Dai Likit This lakorn started good with Karakade/Kade(Esther Supreeleela) acting as a strong female nurse and Orachun/On(Bie Sukrit Wisetkaew) playing a spoiled rich boy, I didn’t like the character he was playing in this one, but I love him in a lot of other lakorns. Overall the first half of this lakorn was good, but after this, the lakorn started to get boring, and I think the storyline lost the original direction it was going in.
I think They could have done a much better job, but overall if you like a strong female lead character with a spoiled rich boy character this drama will be okay to watch for anyone.

11. Story of Yanxi Palace
Chinese Drama - 2018, 70 episodes
Story of Yanxi Palace (2018) was one of the best historical dramas of 2018 if not the best. This drama, first of all, was driven on by the storyline of Wei Ying Luo/Consort Ling(Wu Jin Yan) our main female lead, she played this mastermind that would keep surprising you all the way to the end of the drama.
This drama had so many good and interesting characters in it to name a few Emperor Qianlong/Hong Li(Nie Yuan), Empress Xiaoxianchun/Lady Fuca(Qin Lan), Consort Xian/The Step Empress(Charmaine Sheh), Ming Yu(Jiang Zi Xin) and there are a lot more characters that I could name but you get my point.
I have to say that this drama could be in my top 5 this year and if you like historical dramas and don’t mind the 70 episodes barrier, you will have a hard time finding a much better historical/Romance drama then this out there for cdramas.

12. Tra Barb See Chompoo
Thai Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Tra Barb See Chompoo (2018) started okay, then vent a bit stale in the middle but picked up again at the end of lakorn. The two main leads Patsakorn/Peat(Nawasch Phupantachsee) and Kangsadan/Kiew(Bua Nalinthip Sakulongumpai) had great chemistry together in this lakorn, I feel the storyline could have been much better, but it had its moments.
If you are looking for a classic love/hate lakorn, then this drama meets all requirements.

Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter (2018) was funny and kept you guessing about the storyline almost all the way to the end. Even tho this is an unpopular opinion I liked the way the drama ended up at the end, as always Sun Ok Nam(Moon Chae Won) and Sun Ok Nam/Barista(Go Doo Shim) as the main lead character, other casts also did an okay job.
If you are looking for a comedic/fantasy drama with a bit of romance in it then this Korean drama scores very high in my books for sure!
