Love the polls and all the asides! :P

I was looking for something to vote Monstar's Nana in, lol. I want to see and hear more of Dahee. :D

Hmm ... I'm a little confused to choose. Because I enjoy kdrama that aired in this year 2013, especially with my favorite actors and actresses in there. In each category before I choose, sometimes I think to be objective and not vote because I like the actor or actress alone. Clearly everyone has 'different taste'. So let's respect each other. For myself, my favorite kdrama 2013 is : Master Sun, Reply 1994 and I Hear Your Voice. ^ ^

Someone might have said this, but where is Heartless City on the Bromance question? :'(

Heartless City. Is my fav and only one this year.

Doc Adel. Everything is vivid in my mind.

How come it didn't come in the best kiss list because it was!

And Marry Him If You Dare is the biggest disappointment ever.

Wow, I've got a lot of dramas to check out. Answer Me 1994 is still the best. Mi Rae's Choice is the worst. Sorry YEH. I like you but I've loathed all your dramas since Goong.

It's my first time to vote. All the dramas came screaming back to me.. I had fun reading comments..

These nominations and captions were just too entertaining!!! Some answers I knew right away, others I had to give some more thought to... how my heart felt wrenched!!

marry him if you dare should be in the most disapointing drama category as well as lee dong gun in the most underused category.

BEST DRAMAS (personal opinion--don't kill me)

- I HEAR YOUR VOICE

- SCHOOL 2013

- MASTERS SUN

although i must say..i did watch like all of them haha.

That was hilarious! Thank you for creating this! Would 'Who Are You' count as an under-rated drama?

My all time favorite master sun..... Lol

LMAO, this is great. Especially the choices for "Who had the least tear-inducing first-world problems?" Crazy how another drama year has just flown by.

Ok one thing though ^^;;; I'm a little disappointed that Empire of Gold's Choi Seo-yoon was not included in the Overlord category. She was just too bad-ass as the chabeol princess. No one got shit down like Choi Seo-yoon and she protected SG group with her life. She was definitely one of the strongest Korean drama females leads that I've ever come across. She definitely gets my vote for Best Overlord.

Also, Mi-rae's Choice definitely belongs in the most disappointing drama category. Both Sword & Flower and Mi-rae's Choice take my votes. So much wasted potential.

HEIRS - totally overrated.

this year was a great year for dramas.
Got my top drama lists♥
Heartless City, Master's Sun, Reply 1994, Jang Ok Jung

Top 3 Dramas

Master's Sun
I Hear Your Voice
Reply 1994

Worst Drama
Heirs
Who are you

I'm sorry to say 2013 has just one Kdrama for me, Master's Sun, to which, I love to think the title is Joo Goon's Sun. The second one that I finished is Mirae's Choice, which after half way through, I thought the title should be Future Choice for four leads, but then by the end of it, it comes back to Mirae's Choice again, only [spolier!!! Don't read it!]she keeps her choice to herself haha.

I dropped Heirs already because Tan/YD is my fav OTP but ES keeps coming between them, ship sunk. That's my 2013, and so far only this comment on DB this year ^^

BEST DRAMAS :

SECRET
NINE
HEARTLESS CITY
MASTER'S SUN

WORST AND MOST DISAPPOINTING DRAMA:

HEIRS – totally overrated.

And I also wanted to vote BROMANCE and BEST KISS for HEARTLESS CITY but couldn't find it!!

there was no mention of scandal with its array of negative characters from a cast of actors with some serious acting chops. it was a real well-done drama with writing that actually made sense even though the plot was makjang.. way way way better than some of the other dramas with more PR...

Ten2 on the list!!! Yeah!!! The only 3 drama that i've watched till the end....

Thanks Dramabeans. This was fun!

no best soundtrack list?

So it's that time of year again! I can usually depend on the Dramabeans annual poll to mark that time in December when 망년회 season begins and the liver starts to do into alcohol detox overdrive. ;-)

I read some earlier comments saying that it was a meh year for Korean dramas but looking back upon some of the drought filled years of yore, I actually think 2013 was quite a good year, especially for SBS and TVN. I’m definitely going to watch the SBS awards this year, if only to see if my telly will spontaneously combust due to the hotness of So (Ganji) Jisub and Lee Minho in the same frame.

For me Master's Sun is like the perfect child who got into SNU. Generally liked and admired by all, it gave me much happiness and little angst (as I never ever thought JJW would die) during the time it was airing. But maybe because everything was all lovely and neat it never brought about any visceral reactions. It was a really pleasant viewing experience, more cerebral than emotional, and I can look back upon it fondly. Good writing, acting, directing, editing and music. *clap, clap, clap*

On the other hand, I seem to have an irrational fondness for Heirs that’s become stronger and stronger since episode 11. I also cringed in embarrassment at times during the California scenes but there was something that kept me glued to the screen and when the good episodes came I found myself cheering on the drama and willing it to do better, which it did. It’s as if Heirs is the ‘little engine that could’ which I admit is ironic given its huge budget. I find myself getting really pissed off when things don’t work in the drama but then hugely elated when things fulfill my expectations. To be honest, watching Heirs has become a terribly stressful yet strangely addictive experience and it’s kind of made me understand why monks in the Middle Ages were into self-flagellation and such.

The last time a drama had such an effect on me was Boys Before Flowers. Ah, the angst and the anger. DIE YUMI DIE! So I went and had a look at the 2009 polls and it’s strangely comforting to know that 43% of the voters thought that BBF was hugely overrated. Overrated it may have been, but it definitely had sticking power. And as a very long-time viewer of Korean dramas and a fairly long-time observer of the K-drama viewing community, I have a hunch that Heirs will also have that sticking power. And bring more victims to the altar of beautiful men and boys…

it's so much fun when the Beanies almost have the same choices, (the 50% shares) =). I laugh out loud when Mirae got the shame of mane, coz it seems a lot got turned off by it =).

Yehey to Master's Sun!

**scratches head** I'm not sure that I understand why Joo Won is not getting more love for his performance in "Good Doctor" It wasn't the best drama of the year for me, but damn did he give a fantastic performance. That role was difficult, and it could have gone very, very wrong...I'm just so impressed by him as a person and an actor...I agree with last years best actor vote for Gaksital too--that's one of my favorites ever, even if it was too long.

And no, I'm not a Joo Won fangirl...actually, I would probably call myself either a 1. So Ji Sub or 2. Jang Hyuk fangirl. I love all their stuff, even if everyone else thinks some of the dramas are crappy. Hmmm...sorry for rambling.

And I want to join the "Heartless City" bandwagon...it was fantastic. I think I'm the only one who didn't like IHYV--I couldn't stand the main female character O.o

I hear your voice best kdrama ever!

Medical top team is kewl too.

hello for everyone...i'm newbie...but i always read the comment...btw i like heirs though its not the best drama.but honestly the onlu one i watch and the most waiting list drama for me now is heirs...i dont know why but it has its own persona that get me hooked...

Two weeks - definitely the most underrated drama.
MOST GLORIOUS MANE OF GLORY -lolol there is no other option! XD

But, but, the makeout scene in Heartless City??

Why doesn't A Shocking & Wrongful Incident appear anywhere on this list?

Woah some The Heir's fans are losing their shits here.
Chillax dudes. Everyone has their own fav dramas and we believe The Heirs is yours.
But still I agree with majority - overrated and overpopulated.
Agreeing with Pogo's wise comment - dramabean isnt LMH/TH fansite.

P/s ; I still cant move on from Master's Sun. Feel free to spazz with me :)

파잎팅~

"MOST DISAPPOINTING DRAMA"

We can only pick one? So many disappointments this year. More bad than good dramas.

Yay! Master's Sun is winning most of them! Probably one of the very few kdramas I enjoyed from beginning to end this year apart from Heartless City, Sword & Flower, Secret, and Flower Boy Next Door.

Does anybody else think that 2013 was a very lackluster year for dramas? Or is it just me? Probably the worst in years. Hopefully next year will be better.

Okay, I just started on Secret and I'm really, really curious about one thing, so to those who have completed it... how the hell did you guys managed to without getting distracted by the female lead's face? I thought LJS' nose was distracting enough but this takes the cake.

I have nothing against plastic surgery TBH but it's just so unnatural and SEVERELY distracting that I just can't seem to focus on the story whenever she's on screen. I mean, look at her chin or whatever that's left of it!
