Oh gosh, this is embarrassing but the first things that popped up in my tired brain when I read the title was, "Time of the month?" O.O
Was it that supposed to mean?.. XD

I missed the deadline last year, maybe I’ll make it this year!

I didn't write anything for last year's review since the dramas airing were quite underwhelming. Hopefully I can share something for this year's review.
*checking my list of completed dramas*

I don't think I'd know where to start. Other than an ode to Dickins.

This year, I have the lowest number for completing dramas. Out of all 2018 dramas, I have only finished 5 of them and enjoyed it a lot. Mother, Oh Jak Doo, My Ajusshi, Life on Mars, and The Guest 💕

I'll definitelly finish Clean with Passion, I hope I won't drop The Last Empress and Just Dance so at least I will have 8 dramas on my list 😁

This year had better dramas than the previous one but there is hardly ant that I completed. Drama slump is directly proportional to real life and when dramas start depicting life more closely then you lose your escapism. Funny how I watch dramas for the slice of life rather than the escapism. Hope next year is better in drama offerings and life progresses.

I'm struggling to remember what I have watched this year....
I definitely have changed my drama watching style this year, I have been more ruthless in dropping dramas.
Maybe an post called :To all the dramas I dropped before....

Poetry. <3
Waikiki. XD
LoM. a mix of awesome & head scratch
The Guest. cool!
rest of the drama/year: dropped/ slumped

Oh this might be hard. I might sit this one out. I have a lot to say and have no idea where to start on how to structure it.

Boy, I think of the Year in Dramabeans and what a rollercoaster that's been for our Leaders, minions and Beanies. What a happy ending that we've come out where we are.
And for the Year-end recaps, Fighting! to stroopwafel et al! Here is some sustenance to help get you through 🍱🍜🥗🥞🍫🍻🍩(from @greenfields and friends) and lots of ❤️

Im kinda a new in all of this (dramas in general), the summer of the 2017 i saw my firts dramas, and this years finally im started to see dramas in transmision and the experience is very diferent, because is really paintfull waiting a nex episode when youre catched by the drama or if you are bored, just stoped see it.
In this perspective,this year i started a lot of dramas that i stop see it, im not fallin in love like the past year, so... its a regular year for me, but i dont see historical dramas yet (Mr Sunshina, for example) but i saw such a diferent storys, like 30 but 17 that i really love, its a beatutiful shows of value.

Ohh yes!! This time I have to write something! Best drama of the year: My Ajusshi.
It gave a conclusion: I want to have an Ajusshi for myself 😂😂😂😂😂

NGL the highlight of drama watching this year for me was watching Meteor Garden with (And without) the Rabbit crew... *snorts*

Wow it's that time of the year already! Super excited to read all the write-ups and reviews of this year's dramas. Maybe I'll find something to watch from these year-end posts. :D

I've finished 2 new dramas this year (lol): Life on Mars and Life, and a few old ones: ALL of Jung Kyung ho's dramas (LoM hit me hard), Hwayugi, Pied Piper, Black, and some more probs. I dropped way too many dramas to count this year bc I have the attention span of a squirrel. xD

already!!!

this year is kdrama gold for me, to the point, I'm on hold alot of good drama... To the point a decent drama end up makes me dissapoint. My Ajusshi, Mother, The Third Charm, Live, Hold Me Tight, life on Mars, Life, something in the rain, Just Between Lovers, Lawless Lawyer.

I could write about the heartwarming cameos I did the whole year, if you like. These are my favourites.

1. The island in Top Star Yoo Baek. I'm really proud of my character here. I hear that I'm in line for Best Inanimate Object for next year's Baeksang Awards.

2. The Law in Lawless Attorney. This is such an abstract and complex role, but I nailed it. Obviously.

3. My ID Is Gangnam Beauty. I haven't talked about this before, but I played the ID. I was a bit stiff, though, because there's only so much you can do playing a plastic card.

4. Wok of Love. I played the wok. I was on fire here, I stirred things up a bit, and got Jang hyuk all hot and wok-ed up.

5. Mr. Sunshine. I was the candy, or rather, candies - playing multiple roles is nothing new to me. Note: This is not for the faint- hearted. I put my life on the line each day, but food cameos come with risks.

Best shows of the year: Life on Mars, Matrimonial Chaos, Hand: The Guest.

Show that did not bother me one way or the other: What Wrong With Secretary Kim?, When Time Stopped.

What the hell were you thinking in finishing this trainwreck, damnit, you are better than this: Let Me Introduce Her.

Tail end of 2018 in the so far, so good let's hope in continues into 2019 category: SKY Castle, Twelve Nights, Mama Fairy and The Woodcutter.

@stroopwafel
Is there a rule where we should only write about 2018 dramas and not other years?
I'm new here, btw. Hi!

I have watched many, but also dropped many along the way. I just realized i have watched only 3 dramas without missing a single episode from start till end. Below are the winners:
1. Life on Mars
2.Life
3. Terius Behind Me

Some others i have really liked, but have dropped some episodes here are there ,due to various reasons : With a regretful heart, I present you the following:
1. 30 but 17
2. My ID is Gangnam Beauty :
3. Radio Romance
4.Come and Hug Me
5. Hundred million stars from the sky
6.Wooho Waikiki
7. The Beauty Inside

So i would say 2018 delivered very few good quality dramas. Most of them are just made to fill the empty slot as new dramas come in every 3 months in a year. These dramas, lack proper writing, direction and editing. The characters are either too OTT and bland.
I am in so much need of another Prison Playbook, Forest of Secret, Go Back Couple type drama. These dramas have set the bar too high.

Waiting for 2019. Lets see whether it will shower us with more beautiful dramas or will it be another year of drama slump.

I love the term “hate-watched!!!”
