This was a hoot, thanks...made me realize just how much time I wasted in 2012 (and it ain't over yet!)

How some my favorite of the year like a wife credentials and can we get married is not included?

Im still going to vote : favorite kiss : boat kiss!
Favorite character : Gyeol's mom.

it makes me so sad that its underrated

Most dysfunctional bromance has to be in Equator Man. When else did you see a guy hit his best friend upside the head AND his father killed the bf's father? Two generations of dysfunction! Not to mention an evil biological father.

Honestly, 2012 Kdramas Have been Amazing!! I've really enjoyed this year but my Favs are QIHM, Arang, RTP, AM1997 :) But hey, thats me! Cheers !!

Am I the only one who hasn't seen Gaksital :(
Oh well, finals end in a week and then I'll just marathon it with tissues and ice cream.

Pity the drama I would've voted for in several categories isn't available... But we can't have all, I guess. :)

I love this time of year! I think it's also the combination of the holiday cheer creeping into my normally indifferent self. Ahh, to look back & reminisce about the good and the bad ones. I still gotta finish a few more dramas in the last few weeks to make a final decision, but I think 2012 has been a pretty decent year. Hurrah!

OMG ... I am Laughing like crazy in my office ... Thanks Girlfriday .... You girls are just awesome

My top three this year all came from tvN! Shut Up: Flower Boy Band, Queen In-hyun's Man, and Answer Me 1997. Then TK2H, Faith, and Arang. TEN, Hero, HOTS. Those are the ones I've watched from 1st to last episode. The ones I liked best from just reading the recaps (no plans of watching them) are Nice Guy and Gaksital.

Looking forward to tvN Flower Boy Next Door to start off my 2013 right!

Thanks for the poll JB. Also excited for all the good stuff you roll out for us here at DB during this time of year.

Choosing between Gaksital and Shut Up for Best Bromance nearly tore my heart apart.

(oh and the Time Of The Year came way sooner than I wanted it too! I've only watched around 6-7 2012 kdramas thus far, I think I must have spent too much time catching up with 2011 offerings instead)

this year was hard for me but as I was voting I noticed I tended towards Answer Me 1997 over other shows I thought I had liked just as much if not more. Speaking of Answer Me 1997 I think I'm one of the few if not the only one who loved the whole thing, because well I got exactly what I wanted in the end

oh so much fun reading the description!.. sad to say, i didnot watch any of the family/weekend dramas this year. and INR2012 should be included in the best kiss category .

look forward to the year end reviews, will Santa be free to do again this year? he's my favourite!!!!

Before I come back and comment on my choices, WHERE IS I LIVE IN CHEONG DAM DONG???? :O Then again...I can't blame it for not having more fans because there are no subs around. SIGH but STILL awesome drama needs more love <3

LMFAO. I think I died laughing at the mini comments beside the choices.

Thanks so much DB, hahahahhahahahha~

Answer Me 1997's best show of the 2012th.

ok my favorites dramas (the ones that cracked me up, and made me really obssesed) are Ghost and Full House Take 2, why isn't FHT2 nominated so i could vote for best comedic drama, best bromance, best lead couple and fave drama?
btw i loveeeee NMN's curly hair, you just have to watch the drama and you'll understand why!

you should totally do a category of "drama with the most epic soundtrack"

and i nominate Nice Guy, i mean try listening to bueno hombre, blue moon, or lonely without having this epic feeling at whatever you're doing

i was listening to lonely while cooking, and LOL..... the vegetables flew up every time there was a dun ah,

Gosh! That fast! It's going to have new batch of dramas after next month.????
But it's ok another year to anticipate, this year I greatly enjoyed most of the drama, and thanks to dramabeans I got to have beat choice of drama. More power!

it is not listed but i would definitely vote TEN for best drama. ans best everything! and would you consider making a best story, a best music and a best cinematography poll? maybe?

ahhh, it's my favorite time of the drama year!! *files votes* Thank you to everyone here at DB for all your work this past year, too.

tvN dramas did extremely well this year, it was hard to pick between them.

Queen In Hyun's Man is the best this year for me. To my 6-year-all-time favorite drama, QIHM is that good!!! QIHM is # 1 for me!

As a guy, Shut Up Flower Boy Band has got to be the best bromance I've ever seen in K-Drama because it's the most realistic bromance portrayed in my opinion. After an episode, it always made me miss my homeboys since we're all in college now.

I'm much happier with the results on this site compared to all the other polls, with the teenagers voting faith and dr.jin as best drama of the year.

It took a while to go thru this polll, my goosh soo confusing, soo hard to choose!!

I'm surprised Answer me 1997 did very well. It was a great drama, just not my favorite along with QIHM. very good dramas.

still haven't voted for best lead couple or best bromance...aiiisssshhh so confused. It's sad that I've seen 95% of all the dramas listed on here.... I need a LIFE!!!

Stuck between: BEST BROMANCE. was able to narrow down to 4. I can't narrow down any further

THE KING 2 HEARTS:
GAKSITAL:
SHUT UP: FLOWER BOY BAND:
A GENTLEMAN’S DIGNITY:

BEST LEAD PAIR: narrowed down to these 3. stuck.

NICE GUY:
THE KING 2 HEARTS:
FAITH: So did ours.

It was so hard picking just 3 dramas! Gah!

So much fun to vote and see the results! Wow, there are STILL so many kdramas to watch just from 2012 - will I ever catch up? (Givin' it my best shot.) Not to mention all the previous years!

This was my first kdrama year, and I am gaining experience in selective taste (for not all kdramas are the same). Even though eye candy pretty much overrides flawed plot for me nearly every time (i.e. Faith and Love Rain) cuz that's pretty much the point, But sometimes, like after suffering through a few entire kdramas drag by drag I can make myself hit the 'off' button . Progress. On the other hand, fluff 'n stuff is often just what the doctor ordered, plot be dammed :)

Thanks dramabeans for the best fansite ever
Kdramaland has been the best real fake year of my life, coffee, coffee, coffe, pjs, sleepless nights, eye candy and all! I look forward to more escape-ism with all my fellow beaners -

~ Fighting ~ \/ *smiling*

Made me want to rewatch Queen In Hyun's Man and Answer me 1997!

Horsitaallll......

I can't believe Shut Up Flower Boy Band has only been in my life for this year, because it feels like it's been my favorite drama forever. Perfect pitch and story-telling, emotional without getting sappy, great music, characters who make sense and stay themselves while growing and evolving - it's my favorite drama of all time. SUFBB 화이팅!

"Horsitaaaal" mouhahaha so funny Totally forget this horse

Arang for all the awards. It's not just one of my favorite Kdramas, I would say it's become one of my favorite shows ever, whatever language or country or broadcasting station.

On a different note, since we have a "best bromance" can we have a "best ladymance" or similar, too? I'd love to see the celebration of female friendship as well if we're going to give a shout out to the guys.

I dont know if someone has mentioned this already. But Arang didnt give up immortal life right? Or did I forget something from the drama? As far as I know it is Eun Oh who will give up a place in heaven and ask to be reincarnated.. Hmmm.. The comment on the fav immortal character question was weird..

GF style...yeahhhhh. Sometimes I really needed 3 choices...
Uhhhh, this is harder then exam, love divided!

WOW! Is it that time of the year again when we vote on the Beanie Awards? Too bad I missed a lot of dramas this year because I persistently pursued something...my dream! :D

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to another fun year in k-dramaland with Dramabeans!

first time cable dramas win big? :)

YES!! It's that time of the year again !

Gosh, can't believe it is the time of the year already. This year though, just had a handful kdrama that I watched but will probably catch up with some that has good reviews. I am laughing so hard with the descriptions of the drama...one of my favorite aside from voting.

I think I have to put Answer me 1997 on my list. Haven't seen that yet...
