2015 Beanie Awards: Vote for your favorite dramas of the year
by javabeans
Can you believe it’s December?! Where did my year gooooooo. On the upside, that means the 2015 Beanie Awards are here, and it’s your chance to weigh in on all your favorites (and less-than-favorites) of the year. We’ll also be kicking off our annual Year-End Review Extravaganza, which will be a little different this year with a slightly altered format—keep an eye out as we post the reviews in the coming days and weeks!
You can browse the reviews of previous years using this handy Year In Review tag, and check out past polls. Due to the death of Twiigs, the polling service we used in past years, we had lost all the poll information from past years, but were able to retrieve the majority thanks to reader tips about the Wayback Machine. (Thanks again! We owe you!) Sadly we may never again see what brilliant entries and responses we had in 2011 or 2014, which I’m sure were stunning and irreplaceable and probably our best work, since there’s no way to confirm that it wasn’t. Just trust us on that one!
Courtesy of the Wayback Machine and +PrtScn:
Oh, due to popular request, we opened up some of the larger categories to multiple choice voting, although most of the polls are still one-choice-only. (If the indecision brings you pain, it just proves you care!) Let the angsting commence! (The polls will be open until the end of the year, so you can come back on January 1 to see the final results. And psssst… you can vote once a day!)

I've never posted before even though I've been reading Dramabeans for yeeeeears but I had to talk because finally someone understands my pain: OH MY GOSH YES. MOST UNDERRATED. Ugh all the dramas I love are undderated. I think it's because I gravitate towards suspense, mystery and no-romance, even though I used to be a hard-core rom-com watcher.
My favorite from last year were Liar Game and Misaeng~

December 7, 2015 at 10:07 PM
yeah, it had a great cast but I do feel like case-of-the-week dramas lack a little something in general. (my standards for their potential have really been raised by Japanese procedurals, especially last year's BORDER)
But sometimes it's great to just watch skilled actors do their thing and not get riddled with typical kdrama tropes.

December 7, 2015 at 11:35 PM
Ah, I've heard good things about Border. I'll have to try it sometime.
I think in general Japanese thriller dramas are better than Korean ones. I recently watched Shotenin Michiru no Minoue Banashi and it was pretty much hands down the best suspense drama I've ever watched. (And also very underrated)
The acting in Missing Noir M was top-notch, especially from the two male leads. And Jo Bo Ah improved so much too I was so happy :')

Jo Bo-ah is pretty fantastic, she's come a LONG way from SUFBB. I was impressed by how flawlessly she pulled off Surplus Princess, girl should really get more lead roles.

It's in the category because the TV ratings were low. It's only high in buzz online but the hype wasn't much in Korea. The Overrated and Underrated Drama categories are based on TV ratings, dramabeans mentioned a few years ago

Yes! I Remember You was so good! Everyone killed it in terms of acting. D.O's bit part was fantastically well done esp when we discover his character's backstory. Park Bo Gum and Seo In Guk were amazing and so cute together. I wish they interacted more. Jang Nara was awesome as usual. Angry Mom also blew me away. Kim Hee Sun is my spirit animal. Jisoo has found a fan in me for life.
My top dramas this year: I Remember You, Angry Mom, Sassy Go Go, Healer (not in any specific order as they were all great).

This was weird for me. I figured Angry Mom would get WAY more votes. It seemed like one of the two or three big dramas this year in terms of Beanie buzz, but .. not so apparently. I loved it and am so sad that particularly Princess is not getting enough love.
Conversely, I Remember You is doing way better than I expected. I'm really glad the villain is getting much deserved love/hate. He was SO GOOD. And its doing respectably in some categories I didn't expect (underrated drama, e.g.).
What did you choose for breakout performance? Because I had a really hard time between Ji Soo and Park Bo Gum.

yeah, Lee Soo-hyuk as Gwi in Scholar Who Walks the Night got one of my votes for Best Villain too, because he committed to that role so completely.
And in all his previous dramas, he's been a rather languid, ethereal screen presence, but here he went unabashedly into full baroque dramatic mode, which was incredible because he matched Lee Jun-ki so well in their scenes together. And at the same time there was just enough humanity in him that you could feel for him.
Really, the Waste of Talent category should contain ALL the cast members from Scholar Who Walks the Night (except maybe Changmin, who actually got a decent role, performed adequately) - along with Lee Jun-ki, Lee Yubi, Kim So-eun, Lee Soo-hyuk and Jang Hee-jin deserve better.

And yay for Ji Sung getting his own goddamn category where he can't lose. I swear, all the awards show this year seemed to have forgotten that his performance in Kill Me, Heal Me ever existed.

I think this year's dramas were a looooot better than last year, because I Remember I didn't have problems choosing options for last year's dramas (which meant the competition was low). However, this year had a lot more varieties in themes and as well as performances.
My top list dramas : Healer, Angry Mom, I Remember You, Twenty Again, Reply 1998.
It's funny sine Imma a big fan of Yoochun but I found Girl Who Sees smells forgettable. For me, his best comedy act was still Rooftop Prince hands down.
I Remember You converted me into Seo In Guk's, Park Bo Gum's, and Jang Nara's fan.. and Reply 1998 solidified my love for Bogummie.
Healer... *sigh* ... what can I say... I had to go through rough months to heal myself from Healerity Complex I suffered from. '
And Twenty Again... .. Just watching Lee Sang Yoon playing kiddo and flashing dimples made my heart weak. Can we have a sequel please? hmm... maybe one that we call "Dimple Again" ??

I think the opposite. Half the polls I didn't vote in because I don't have a "favourite" ––– the dramas were too underwhelming. The only dramas I enjoyed were The Producers (though I wish it has been experimental all the way through) and I Remember You. Beyond that, there's a couple of others that showed promised and that I liked for their first half but that then completely fell apart (Oh My Ghostess, Hogu's Love, School 2015). Some of the ones that were popular I only found okay (sorry, I'm not one of those Healer-worshippers). Lots of others that I tried but where I saw the writing on the wall very early on.
I don't know if last year was truly better, or if just one of my favourite dramas (Misaeng) airing that year made me feel better about 2014, or if this year I've just had less patience with all the stock characters and clichés storylines (meaning that something okay-ish like Oh My Venus is mostly mediocre to me).

true. a lot of dramas were tepid. but they did contain some interesting characters, and if I could pick out the characters from the dramas and make a new drama with them... In short, I loved some characters in dramas I hardly bared to watch. if that makes sense.

I kind of agree with both of you, if that's even possible. I feel like the good dramas of 2014 (Misaeng, Liar Game, Secret Love Affair) were equivalent in quality to fancy cable dramas like Mad Men or The Wire. But other than the very best dramas, everything else SUCKED.
This year, the best dramas were not as good in terms of quality, but were pretty watchable, and there were way more of them. There were relatively few real stinkers compared to last year.
So, I feel like 2014 was the year of all or nothing dramas, and this year was more middling, with lots and lots of solid watchable dramas but nothing amazing.
To put it in perspective, I feel like I Remember You was this year's Liar Game (cerebral cat-and-mouse dramas with great genius villains). I heard it through the grapevine was this year's Secret love affair. Awl is this year's Misaeng. All of the 2015 version are pretty good, but just don't quite compare to the 2014 version. On the other hand, Angry Mom, Healer, Twenty Again, Hogu, Sassy Go Go, etc... These were far more poppy dramas, and they were well done for what they were. But in five years, I probably won't remember them.

am definitely a "Healerite, and proud".
but i do appreciate IRY, and should i say, Remember by Dear Cloud is this year best OST.
Protect yourself from disappearing, When things get hard, remember me.
I really wanted you, So I hope you’ll stop for a moment and look at me.
I can’t stop, I’m afraid, I can’t control myself, what do I do?
Look at me, remember me.
this song is like a dialogue between Hyeon and Ji-An.
Hyeon was challenged to come back to face his darkest past by someone from his past. Ji-An, a familiar girl from his past trigger him to start remembering those frozen times. That Partner from his past, urged him up to face himself fearlessly. Will this girl helps him to find “someone”? Not just his past that he wants to forget, but his own-Self that he fears & wants to forget, he feared when his Good-Self weakened thus disappear. its take Ji-An to ask him to ‘protect himself, by looking at her, remember he is not alone’, don’t let the Good-self escape and run, look at her who trust him. When he can’t control himself from escaping, look at her, and work together to fight the Bad-Self within, remember there’s still someone who trust him. {If in the end I lost control myself, when I can’t stop in the end, what if I am truly bad?.... No, look at me, remember I trust you. Stop, just look at me, remember I care.} a beautiful OST will speaks like the missing dialogue between OTP, piece the whole mood from ep 1 to last ep, unchanging the plot, and provide the missing piece of jigsaw that fill in the deafening silent between when OTP are unable to speak to each, and the lyrics will make us understand those moments.

I'm shocked to see healer. Thought it was 2014 drama. So, I guess healer will win big?? ;P
Looking through all the titles, I only finished 7 dramas & 6 in still watching lists (including reply 1988) but damn.. I didn't watched much this year~

I feel ya! I think the later half of 2015 picked up which is why many are currently airing or just finished...the beginning half we were experiencing a drought in good dramas!

Healer ended in 2015. So maybe that's the reason why DB included it on the list. If I'm not mistaken, it was not included in the 2014 poll.

Arrgghhh.. Beanie Awards is here and I got headache just to vote for some.
For example favourite lead couple(s), which one I want to sacrifice? Kill Me Heal Me couple or OMV couple?
Favorite character? Do I have to choose between ahjummas Ha No Ra and Kang Ja? How about my Healer? How about Baek Seung Chan? How can I choose between Ahn Yo Na and Shin Se Gi? The last one is hard.
I HAVE to spread love for everyone...
*first-world problems here*
Thanks for the laugh and the vote DB!

IKR! The 'Most favourite character' category is the hardest! I think dramabeans should separate it into male and female characters.
This year, especially, has A LOT of memorable characters with good character depth, way more than the previous years. Am i the only one who is thinking this way?

The favorite Ji Sung poll was hard. I wanted to choose more than one! <3
