Wow. Is it that time already? Where did the year go?
Looking back on your list, some of these dramas seem like they aired much longer ago than they did. And I found some I need to watch. Thanks for these lists! Very helpful.

Please do not compare Heirs with 2 of the best dramas of this year. I super adore LMH but Heirs script and direction really really sucks. Sorry.

December 10, 2013 at 9:50 AM
IHYV was a good drama ! But Master's sun leads win over for the chemistry. I just cant seem to see the chemistry between puppy and noona in IHYV. Story line was good though. A refreshing script. Master's Sun wins as a whole to me. Heirs is not close to any of these 2..apart from their famous young stars! Heirs started off well….towards the last few, script was bad…cry cry cry..typical of korean drama...

You need to see I Hear Your Voice. It is a lovely drama despite some darker elements. And you will adore Lee Jong Seok. He will break your heart over and over again, but in a good way! I dropped so many dramas this year, like Gu Family Book (after the first few episodes I lost interest) but not this one. So far I am loving Answer Me 1994 too.

I know, I was surprised to see Heartless City rank so low in almost all the polls so far. I find that in many of these end-of-year voting exercises, it's the shows in the fall that get the most votes, simply because they're still fresh in people's minds. I prefer to wait for the Editors' Picks.

December 3, 2013 at 3:43 PM
Same here. I loved Monstar, which got great reviews, but it being a cable show starring an idol and a model, it didn't really get a good start off. It was my favorite drama of the year. It even made my List of Best Dramas Ever, Necessitating A Rewatch Every Six Months.

I completely agree -- every year the winners in each category are almost always the more recent ones for the same reason you've mentioned.
Not to mention, it's always the same ones that win (popular ones, not necessarily the greatest ones) because those are really the only ones majority of people have watched.
Also, it's not like people have all the time in the world to watch every k-drama out there, so i get that.

December 4, 2013 at 3:09 AM
Yeah I think Can We Get Married couldve been able to participate in quite a number of these categories, like the least tear-inducing first world problem in the case of the main couple. The tagline could be something like "We are two middle-class adults with stable careers of our own and no third party involved who love each other but have to break up because of our moms". I would also put the moms in the overlord categories :p

The kiss happens a few episodes in; it's a cable drama so they can actually have a proper make out scene, woot! Heartless City wasn't on my radar either because I thought it was your typical gangster cop drama, lol. It's not that at all. It's all about the relationships between the characters, and the love and loyalty they feel towards each other. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. It's my pick for Best Drama of 2013, I definitely recommend it.

December 4, 2013 at 4:08 AM
@pogo, nomad, zodd,
Heirs fans love that drama, you don't.
There must be times when You love a drama while others don't.
Why are they off the wall?
Why call them "batshit"?
Why "laugh at or pity them"?
Why so mean?
Why behave like those love Heirs are inferior human beings?
And Beannies pride themselves on being civilized. You ought to be very proud of yourselves.
pogo - sailing HMS Queen of Tears and HMS Sailboat Lovely Runner🍉
December 4, 2013 at 7:13 AM
@KDaddict - you do realise that the 'batshit' part refers not to their taste (allowances must be made), but to their reactions to literally any criticism of that drama, right? Especially as seen up there via Heirslover - if you can say, with a straight face, that that reaction is in any way polite or moderate, then we must not be reading the same comment.
And yes, I am pretty proud of myself for getting salty on people who don't seem to understand the concept of this thing called 'differing opinions'. I don't go postal and ALLCAPS on commenters who dislike the dramas I like, and I see no reason to handle those who do with kid gloves.

December 5, 2013 at 6:42 PM
It's just a vehicle to give the actors more fans and a bigger and wider distributions for their money making ventures eg CFs, spokesperson etc. overall the plot is thin and the character development next to non existent. But production values eg cinematography ,editing, continuation etc good. The soundtrack is a bit too obvious but the acting is good. All actors are doing the best with a thin script. - given the calibre of the writer and the director - and the media hype- I hoped for more and better.

lol @Pogo... The problem with Heirs is though it was a ratings hit, we were all waiting with bated breath for LMH's performance.. Thanks to the writer who has proven she hates him, there wasn't much :( .... I enjoyed the first few eps but after that. it went kaput..

December 3, 2013 at 10:31 AM
For me, Mirae's Choice beats Heirs in both most disappointing and wasted talent categories. It COMPLETELY wasted both LDG and YEH, and was actively awful, as opposed to Heirs, which hovered around meh most of the time.

KDaddict
December 3, 2013 at 9:29 PM
And yet, many comments on the latest Mirae's Choice thread seem to indicate that it takes the cake in the "Most disappointing category".
Is it really necessary to call fans of certain dramas/actors 'batshit' if/when they speak up to defend their bias?
LMH is obviously a very popular actor, and yet every time one of his dramas come up for discussion, there'd always be ppl who are very down on it. Invariably.

December 4, 2013 at 4:57 AM
Why did you even include me in calling them "bats hit"? I didn't do that. Did I say I pity them? I didn't do that. All I did was listing what Heirs was "most" on from the polls. Please see what I said before you just judge, won't you? I think it was Heirslover that suddenly lunged and attacked me.
pogo - sailing HMS Queen of Tears and HMS Sailboat Lovely Runner🍉
December 4, 2013 at 7:19 AM
I'd say it is necessary to call out the behaviour of people who seem incapable of tolerating any criticism of their bias. There are Heirs fans who can admit its flaws, and then there are those who cannot, and those people fully deserve to see a spade called a spade. If other drama fans can enjoy their dramas and not use the internet to yell at those who don't, I don't see why Heirs fans should be any different.
Also, dramabeans isn't a fansite for LMH or anyone else no matter how much they are loved here, and if the only response to (legitimate) criticism of Heirs is to hint at some kind of anti-fan conspiracy against the actor, I'd say the point is not only being missed, but given a very wide berth.
pogo - sailing HMS Queen of Tears and HMS Sailboat Lovely Runner🍉
December 3, 2013 at 8:48 AM
lol I love how Heirs is dominating the Most Overrated category, but Bo-na and Chan-young have a (well-deserved) lead in the Best Secondary/Tertiary couple stakes.
They are to Heirs what Yi-jung and Ga-eul were to Boys Over Flowers, only this time around the couple in question gets to be together.

Amen DayDreamer! Though when Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jung Suk appeared in the same category/ies I felt like I was betraying one of them by choosing the other!

I KNOW!!! Augh! In the end, I just picked Woo-bin because I like him a teensy tinsy tad bit more than Jong-seok, hehe.

ahahahaha that's the dramabeans poll equivalent of Sophie's Choice.
(especially in the Breakout Performance category, I had a teeny-weeny sad when I saw Lee Jong-seok nominated for IHYV while Woobie was up for School 2013, even though I ADORE IHYV a part of me was all 'but they should be nominated TOGETHER for the same drama!')

Why isn't Go Ara nominated for Breakout Performance? I would think she deserved it.

I agree. She's not really known as a good actress, but I think this role just made her.

Yes! seriously we shouldve just put every AM1994 cast member for breakout performance because they were all either unknowns or overlooked.
If you think about, go ara, yoon yoo seok, and jung woo were all in the business for 10 years but never really recognized for their skill until recently.

The Breakout Performance category is SO hard to vote for, because almost everyone in there (and I've seen most) delivered a spectacular performance, in some cases show-stealing ones.
I was really torn between Lee Yubi for GFB (I thought she'd be standard forgettable second lead, but that girl made me cry even in a show I thoroughly detested), Lee Jong-seok for IHYV, Kim Woo-bin for School 2013 (though LJS should have been nominated for that drama too), Ha Yeon-soo and Oppa. Decisions, ugh...

It really was a true breakout, in the sense of 'wow, I didn't know she could DO that!'. Maybe not a star-making role since second lead female roles rarely are (industry politics), but she's definitely made her mark as one to watch.
And I hope she graduates to lead soon, she should take a leaf out of her Nice Guy costar Moon Chae-won's book for that.

And speaking of Woo-bin and Yubi, they're great in their separate dramas but I absolutely loved them together in Vampire Idol.

We debated this, but Go Ara was pretty famous before Answer Me. The others had very little name recognition, while she was at star level for years. I do think it was a breakout of sorts, but not in a traditional "this made me famous" sense.

Go Ara wasn't known for her skill, yeah (or blunter terms, she was known as someone who sucked) but she's had a number of lead roles and is known in name. People just know who Go Ara is - pretty, SM, etc. - and she appears on variety more often than the other two (or at least gets more news attention). So technically it's not breakout in that she already was famous? It's just the first popular drama where she's recognized as good.

Yeah....i was looking high and low for Go Ara in Breakout Performance. I thought....there's her picture, but where's her name nomination??
Although JB made it slightly easier without Ara in the running so i can vote for Thrash Oppa. lol....
But i'll sure be conflicted when it comes to Best Actress at this year's Beanie: Gong Hyo Jin or Go Ara? Oh yes, and Park Bo Young!
Not to mention Best Actor: So Ji Sub , Jung Woo or Lee Jong Seok?
It's so obvious that i only like 3 dramas this year as compared to last years all-votes for QIHM.

Minhyuk's my fave character, and the kiss in ep 16 of Secret is worthy of a win.
My fave alt couple would be kim nana and sun woo from Mostar.
But I defs agree on the mane of glory. Only one biatch to rule them all, sexy gumiho daddy.

I think the fact that in all likelihood 90% of those reading this post had EXACTLY the same question means you're probably right - it was excluded to give other less awful dramas a chance of winning something.

I guess I'm in the 10% that actually stuck with Mirae's Choice and have enjoyed it. It's flawed, yes, but it has heart. The relationship between Oppa and Future Mi-Rae is wonderful, as is the frenemy relationship between Oppa and Kim Shin.
Biggest complaint would be how freakin' long they waited to fix that red curly perm on Yoon Eun-hye! The hair, combined with what started as a frumpy look, had zero appeal for viewers of both genders.

I have stuck with Mirae's choice too. I like it. It does not have the crack factor but I am enjoying it even though I am not rooting for a romantic pair. And I really enjoyed the unexpected Oppa/Kim Shin bromance the show sneaked in every now and then. They are so cute when they bicker.

I miss Mi-Rae's perm terribly. It was the most distinctive hair-do I've seen in a drama all year. She was adorable in it. I expect a half-dozen series to feature that hair-do in 2014. Replacing that fright-wig look we've been seeing a lot of, in 'Mandate of Heaven' and 'Answer Me 1997' and 'Basketball,' among others.

this year's kdrama seems like 25% good to great dramas... while the remaining 75% are ranging from forgettable to dramas that should have been properly labeled with a warning - 'waste of time to watch.' seriously long list of kdramas but the only ones that can be recommended to others are only around 10? probably even less than that.
