Now this makes more sense. I was arbitrarily clinching on the page to figure out how the star rating worked.

Today when posted on the "Running Man" thread I noticed the pop-up "STARS" rating and so I started to fill in 4 stars for this episode. But as soon as I put one, it left. (Now I know, only pick the place holder of the stars you wish to assign. But when I did it this morning it looks like I was "panning" the running man episode. And actually, I jjinja liked it.

Still it's a good idea, now that I know what to do. Thanks for letting us rate the shows.

@TG it's probably because it makes it harder for it to be abused. It adds one extra step to the process so people who just want to sneakily increase or decrease an episode a million times have more work to do. Also, it encourages conversation, especially for currently airing shows! :)

Thanks for providing the star definitions. I like this feature on tv.com where I can know what episodes to scan when I am binging.

Ooh, fun! I wonder if this feature works on mobile since I periodically check db throughout the day on my phone. I'll find out later! Anyways, I liked the Thumbs Up feature, too; It's a conveniently way to agree with someone with a simple ??. Was it technical problems that messed up the site or... Nah? Here's to fun and appropriate usage of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Off to Level 7 Civil Servant and Doctor Stranger. If only there was an option of zero stars.

I honestly have been missing a lot of kdramas lately... and that goes for dramabeans too...it's so nice to see that there's a new feature!

Off to My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and Punch finales. Five stars

Love the rating option and i will give all the awesome shows 5 and waste shows i won't even bother.

LoL i find it funny how people gave stars thinking it was for recaps.i don't have any problems with recap. Except for one of she was pretty recap where you misunderstood that sung joon knows the truth (my Korean sucks but still i was like he never did ,re-watched whole episode ) small problem still half comments were on that so(it got on my nerve)

I got two chances to vote for our current fave SASSY, GO GO. Too bad it was both on one device.

I beat you both to the HEALER threads! Pretty awesome that we're given a new feature to gush over HILLEO. ???

Took a trip down memory lane to Answer 1997, thanks to the many feels from SASSY.

@Wag_a_Muffin
Was the end that bad??

Off to five star all episodes of Reply 1997. One of the very few dramas that was satisfying from beginning to end.

Loving the star ratings!! I'll definitely be dishing them out over the weekend. But I was just wondering over the disparity between the 4 and 5 stars. Should 4 stars come with plot holes so glaring that you have to squint to cover them? I'd like to think that giving an 4 stars is close to 5, just with minor niggles included. And that doesn't necessarily have to do with the plot. Just my two cents. Thank you for the post! Always love a good update on Odds and Ends.

Seriously, I don't know how you girls do it. I tried recapping a while ago and it was really difficult. Now, I have a full-time job and I'm always tired when I get home that I usually just skip dinner, use what little energy I have to watch whatever episode of the drama I'm watching aired this week and hit the haysack. i totally see why you guys hired all those minion writers.

Oh man - the picture makes me want to watch You're Beautiful again!

I love this new feature! And I vote in favour of keeping it, even with the commenting requirement.

It isn't too late to five-star the living daylights out of every single episode of Misaeng, right?

@fab (re: Shine Or Go Crazy) -- Yes. Yes it was. Wag-a-muffin is spot on.

SIGH- although I will never get the 16 hrs that I've lost for BIG( negative 1 ⭐️) , I will still give my Yoo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I mean how can anyone not???

I came here after voting healer(mind you all the 20 episodes ❤️)
And this post makes me miss-you are beautiful what a sweetly crazy drama and jung geun suk need to come back to drama land

I actually have a comment regarding the recaps.
I think it will be better if recap screenshots expressed more action. Currently, most of the screenshots are mainly faces of the main heroes in all kinds of expressions (for example, She Was Pretty ep. 8). The problem is, these screens are not helpful in restoring the plot, which is the main purpose of the recap.
I've started reading recaps at DB four years ago, and I remember if I was wondering whether to start a new drama or if I was just getting interested in the recap, I could look through the screenshots and it was already enough to restore the main events in the plot. If you try to do the same now (even for action-packed Yong-pal), you will mostly see main leads constantly looking surprised, but in different locations.

I think it will be great if screenshots became more informative. For example, in She Was Pretty Episode 8 recap photos of Sung Joon shouting and Hye Jin looking at him, but if there was a screen of the photo studio and/or torn dress, you could at least get the idea about location or the reason of his behavior.

I only have one question...sometimes I get the pop up on giving stars, but sometimes when I just want to put stars, it won't let me do it at all. So is it a random process thing, or what? I'm using Safari, latest version.

Ok, call me a little crazy... went back and gave a star rating to the final episode of every drama I could reasonably remember. (Did consult my drama database for an overall impression reminder on a few). Wish "Life is Beautiful" could have been on the list to give a star rating... I really loved that drama... even if it is one of the long episode length family dramas.

Also, couldn't help but give 5 stars to every episode of Personal Taste and Coffee Prince... I've watched those through lots of times now ... just to re-live the squee!

Wow I didn't know we can rate the old dramas too! Off to rate.......... but there are tons of shows ? How to choose which one to rate first ? Although thanks for your help by mentioning Healer LOL

I like the idea. I was wondering if at the end of the drama, all the stars are combined to give it a final total rating? There are a lot of shows I loved until the last four episodes, and then was bitterly, angrily disappointed. Ooo, how I would have wished to take any stars previously given away. This sort of problem makes me wish the stars were just at the last episode, so the ratings would reflect how we liked it overall. But then, I rely on you for that, dear JB and GF. I like your pure, uncompromised opinion on shows, and hope you won't be TOO swayed by what we in the peanut gallery think!

Awesome! :-)

I recently read the recap for Big's last episode and couldn't help laughing at the community's collective freak out about the ending. It was literally nothing but 400-500 angry, dissapointed comments. I don't think I've seen anything like it since!! I so wish Gong Yoo hadn't been in it because it has obviously turned him off kdramas *sigh*

The star rating is really awesome and came at the perfect time because I just started catching up on kdramas I've been wanting to watch or finish. Right now, it's I Remember You and Healer (trying to finally get past the 4th episode!)

So sorry to hear the like feature was buggy! Hope the star rating is here for good!

I forgot to add that I have problems replying to comments on the site while i'm using Safari on my iPhone. I actually can't reply to comments at all but I'm not sure if I'm the only one having the problem.

It never pops up whenever I post a comment. I noticed the stars at every episode's recap, but can't vote. I'm using browser in my tablet.

Off to give stars to my beloved KDramas, I Remember You, Healer, Oh My Ghostess and She was Pretty! ?
