CITY HUNTER OFFICIAL TRAILER.

CLICK TO WATCH. THANK YOU EVERYONE!

TEAM LEE MIN HO!! AJA AJA FIGHTING!

Yes for the Hong sisters! I was really hoping Best Love will continue the success of Gumiho, because these two writers really deserve it. Although I was most looking forward to Lie To Me, Best Love has now taken the #1 spot in my list, closely followed by 49 days.

If the next recap comes out unintelligible or sorely lacking crucial words and/or logic, you’ll know what happened.

Too late, it has already been happening. But, because we love you two (jb and fri) so much, and because at this point we understand the process of recapping and pretty much understand your writing styles, I can honestly say I barely notice. HAHAHA. But oh boy, how are you ladies going to survive past May? Know we appreciate the effort you put into running Dramabeans and no matter what, we can understand if you guys decide not to try to recap everything.

With Love,

The Original Ani ^_~

Whats up with the ratings these days. When a drama becomes #1 its usually up there in the 30s - 40s .....
Comeon drama Gods, we need some big hits for 2011.

I'm raising my hopes for the Sung Yuri starrer -I've long waited for another drama with her after Swallow the Sun. I've only read a first impression recap sort of ..

I watched the raw episode and what I can tell is it covered A LOT ! Though the backgrounder might still be out there somewhere to be explained as the episodes move along .

Romance Town this early seem to be discussing the everyday life from the point of view of the domestic helps and their employers . I expect the episodes to be not only colorful but thick interpretations not flat renditions of each domain .

What about MAnny ? It's ratings are that low that it doses even get to the rankings ?

Thanks ! Was just about to look this up! I love both these dramas! But they are so very different!

Romance Town>sleep

Definitely!

Trust me.

Yaaay for 49 Days ratings continuously on 1st rank! :(

So deserves it. Solid and chameleon actings (esp. from LYW & JIW), endearing character (for HK, JK, S), great chemistry (LYW with all the guys), brilliant plot, tight & keep moving forward plot, many nice & very suitable OST songs, beautiful cinematography.

Aw, why do you think City Hunter will be terrible? I watched the trailer and was pleasantly surprised, it looks pretty refreshing and interesting and I like the Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young pairing more than I imagined, however its just my opinion...so does this mean you won't recap it?? *pretty please?*

I always hate judging shows by ratings but it is nice to know what the rest of the country feels about a show lol

When it rains, it really pours, huh? Might as well soak all the goodness in before the drought. There ought to be a dry spell looming - drama gods can't be this good to us every time, right? So i say JB & GF, don't bother sleeping. Just catch up on your sleep later. Lack of zzzs won't kill you. And we will all be happy. Good karma will be your reward. ;)

It's kind of fun to have so many dramas to check out all at once, since there was a bit of a lull for awhile.

So far, my favourite drama is Best Love.

Great actors, great chemistry!!!

Do you think the next signature item will be Dokko Jin's panties?

I like the first 2 episodes of Romance Town.

I can't believe 49 Days is ending next week! These 2 and 1/2 months went by quick. I'm getting sad just thinking about the finale. I've grown so attached to the characters. Especially Yi Kyung and Yisoo. :-/

On the other hand, I'm really enjoying Romance Town. :-D So, I can count on that to get me out of my 49 Days finale slump.

Rest easy JB and GF.

Happy wkend!

I'm torn betwn Best Love and Lie To Me 'cos both have strong scripts, other than Romance Town I'm sorry to say I've fast-forward boring parts for it's a weaker script.

I did like Jung Kyeo-woon's shower scene in RT's ep.02. *nosebleed* Oh you smexy thick hairy legs, you! Har-har-har! I'm anticipating a Cinderella story nonetheless.

you should do more ratings report! =)

^ It looks sooooo badass I can't wait to watch *_* Since I don't know about the original story, I'll just watch this one happily :D

Suck it up! Syke, just joking (kinda)...

Thank you so much for feeding the frenzy, we really appreciate it! I was in a random hallway at school before a final and saw somebody else on their iPad madly refreshing this website, desperate for a recap.

What a small dramabeans world!

I was so excited to watch Lie to Me.

But even though the drama is cute, and the main pair has chemistry, I kind feel the plot is getting boring.

The plot is not very coherent and they do use whatever excuse (without much sense) to make the leads meet.

I enjoyed first episode, but second one? wasnt' that funny.

I don't want to say anything but I fear it turns out just like My pricess cute but boring and boring to the point the drama is not more watchable.

I already see much against with the''''' brothers love the same girls, and loved the same girl in the past too.''''

-

Best love is funny, keep getting funny but don't really have a ''story'' behind all... you know? What is the story about?
-

For me Romance town has a more solid plot. I like it. Is not a drama many will like but I'm enjoying it.

HAS ANYONE WATCHED BABY FACED BEAUTY????? any good?!?!

Er - what about Lie to Me?

Thanks so much JB. Really appreciate what you and GF do. Don't worry about the quality of the recaps. We are more than grateful that you are willing to do which ever series you choose.

And yai for 49 Days! LOVE IT! And I just need to say this:

KANG AHHHHHH!!!

Best Love has surprised me, didn't expect for this series to be good. The trailers didn't look anything special but the series so far has been pretty damn great. Love it!

Lie to me so far I've had the opposite reaction. The trailers looked great but the series itself hasn't been as good I was hoping for. It's not bad but it's not great either, especially compared to Best Love, which does everything Lie to me does but much better.

i can not wait to watch romance town....and in the mean time trying to stay away from your best love recap before the subs come out ...

I'm loving this crazy month of awesome dramas! And is it just me or are the second leads amazing?! Not looking forward to the pain ahead as I root for the ill-fated second leads....and I never do!!! I'm usually good at backing the main couple but this time, I just can't get past the cuteness of Pil-joo in Best Love and Sang-hee in Lie to Me. Sigh...the drama kingdom may be finally learning how to handle the second leads well, and I don't know how happy I am about that as my heart has always been so well protected in the past...

Thanks a truckload (in advance) to jb and girlfriday for the weeks of sleepless nights you are sacrificing for the greater drama good :) You guys are doing an amazing job recapping all the dramas and I, for one, am lapping it all up! Oh, and unintelligible or illogical recaps? Pfft...not even a deterrent. I'm there! Any ideas on whether Baby faced beauty or City Hunter will be recapped? Yeah, I'm greedy I know! Recap or not though, just wanted to let you guys know that I'm loving your recaps more than Pil-joo explaining the properties of a lopsided buttock (and that's a lotta love there).

I'm definitely anticipating City Hunter, no lie. If only the first couple of episodes.

I love this drama-flood of rom-coms (my favorite genre) but sometimes, too much is just TOO MUCH.
City Hunter, if done right, will be a much needed break.

I have so much hope for it even though it's not like the original. I want them to make it there own *fists of determination*

That said, I'm glad that the first couple of episodes of each rom-com has helped me knock them off my list of TBWs.

In: 49 Days, Best Love, The Duo, Can You Hear My Heart, Believe in Love,

Out: Baby Faced Beauty, Lie to Me, Manny,

Maybe: Romance Town, Ripley, City Hunter, Sweet Palpitations

Yea , I Love JB and GF .. <3
Thanks for all the recaps ..

it's good that its raining drama on May
because i still have my one month vacation
my class start on July ^^.

This is the first time after watching so many Korean dramas that I have to decide which thread on baidu to follow (since they have translators who translate as they watch the drama stream) on wed and thurs!!!!!

49 days is still top of my list since we have beloved Kang in it *hiccup* but Best Love is coming up strongly , me and my love for wacky scripts and hilarious lines - RETURN ME MY PANTIES!; MY 6090 RANGE - and also my love for Hong sister *ahhhh* and, Romance town has sung yuri!!! omg omg!!! why do all the good things come together!?!?

Definitely looking forward to City Hunters!!!!!!!! x)

I have bad news Javabeans; Romance Town is better than sleep.

Dear JB and GF,

Thank you for recapping these wonderful dramas but please get some sleep first. Dramas can wait. :)
Take care.

Nell.

hey hey! romance town is really not bad!!! strongly recommend! at first i watch the first ep starting like typical poor girl and okok storyline, but be after that the story turned interesting and funny, ad the "hook" of the drama starts from ep2, there are many "sik-mu" (which is mean maid of oldtime i guess) included min hyo rin, have different story and backgraound might also slowly revealed in the drama, I got a feeling the story will be better and better! :D

http://redclicks.blogspot.com/2011/05/49-days-ep-18eng-sub-full-and-complete.html Watch 49 days Episode 18 with English HQ Video

my goodness, looking at the first picture truly breaks my heart. 49 days is going to end and i'm really going to miss it. That picture above, I love. They look so good together. I wonder how much I'll be seeing them together in this last 2 epis. As much as I am excited to see how JH and HK will go, I still picture JH as LYW. But on more positive side, I can't wait to see what will happen to YK and YS. Hope for their happy ending.

thanks jb,

baby face beauty ?, jang na ra, ryu jin, daniel choi ?.

Episode 4
Nationwide - 8.9%
Seoul - 9.9%

slowly catching up, wait till his child appear next week !
will it shoot up ?.
ryu jin - hot ! in epi. 4.

49 days is by far my favorite, Best Love is great but I am not that interested in Romance town. And in the weekends I am watching Can you hear my heart, I know it is not mentioned in the article but I have to say I am surprised at myself for watching it because the female lead cries a lot and she is too agitated for my taste and the male lead is such a flower boy.

Gahh, I hate the 49 Days picture up there. It kills me that my YiKyung and HanKang pairing will not be. I hate it. TT.TT

It's a good sign that all the rating numbers are almost equal. This means that all the series are good, and that's good news for viewers. Also, ratings do not reflect true viewership. Wifi is free in Korea, and everybody can watch these shows are their leisure. I was walking around in Seoul, and everybody was watching all the shows on their smartphones. Kinda small, but still watchable when you are riding the subway.

Best Love is the Best!!!!!!!!! love it!!!!!!!
i hope it will be number 1. it deserves it
and jb & gf find time and get some sleep. take care we need you healthy!!!!

the higher ratings already helped BL get subbed quicker

good sign

and it totally deserves the attention

it likely wont reach TAKGU-esque heights
but hopefully ratings continue to climb steadily
