My most hated villain was Baro's dad in Angry Mom, I hated him more than the murderer teacher, I guess because I was under the impression for seveal episodes that the teacher could be redeemed when I didn't know he got a high school girl pregnant and then killed her...scariest high school ever!

I'm glad Oh My Ghostess is getting so much love, it's one of those rare dramas that was consistently good from start to finish, I would recommend it even to non k-drama fans.

If based on me, I will divide Best Drama to two ; acting and plot. Kill Me Heal Me, Yong Pal, Scholars Who Walks the Night, My Beloved Eun Dong, Punch and I Have A Lover will surely be the best drama of the year in term of acting.

As for the best drama in term of plot, I will choose Oh My Ghostess, Punch and Kill Me Heal Me.

I was quite surprised to see Healer, but yeah this drama finished on early this year.

Anyway TQ DB for making one poll specifically for Ji Sung! I want to vote for all, even my fav will always be Yo Na and Shin Se Gi. Lol

Decision! Decisions! Thank god some of the categories have multiple picks. lol

My Best of 2015 rom-coms

Oh My Ghostess
She Was Pretty
Twenty Again
Heart to Heart
Sassy Go Go

My favorite hero was KANG MIN HO in falling for innocence. Soooo funny yet charming

the last one "FAVORITE JI SUNG" ROFL... the best category tbh... hahaha

my favourite drama this year is KMHM. no drama came close. it is a clear winner and #1 drama for me this year.

i have watched many dramas this year but somehow i don't really watch sageuk. so i just skip the sageuk related options. heard that Six Flying Dragons is good but too bad i haven't watch any episodes so i can't place my vote on SFD.

Thanks DB,..
I really love this year,..
so many uninteresting drama this year,
but at least there are some gems i watched,

1. The most passionate kiss, believe me or not "Heart to Heart" ep 4 is killing me,.. the way they kiss after the patient take a bath (wooot) is crazy, and what they did on bed is pretty,..

2. Most Fav Thriller, there are some dramas i watched, hidden identity, my beautiful bride, last, and missing noir M, but MISSING NOIR M is really unforgetfull, the multilayered case is great and the hero villain act inside a detective is very surprising. I'm so sad that Missing Noir is the most underrated thriller drama.

3. Most favorite (future) husband, okay, though DB didn't make it, i want to say, LEE SANG YOON is my all the time fav husband,.. where i can find such a kind, handsome, smart, sporty and religious husband,..
Ha No Ra in Twenty Again is very lucky!!!! Ha No Ra and Cha Hyun Soek in Twenty Again is my fav couple,
My fav sweet like a child couple.

4. My fav funny dramas are from TVN, Twenty Again and Oh My Ghostess, but somehow i'm only satisfied with twenty again ending.

5. Most inspiring drama, nah, this one is really hard for me to pick, twenty again inspired me for being okay go back to campus no matter how old you are, education is universal and unlimited in age,
Oh My Ghostess inspiring me that introverts can love too, so if you are introvert, and you love someone, just stay beside the one you love, and you'll find the the way to show your love.
Kill Me Heal Me,.. omoooooo, i really love ahn yoo na and shin se gi,.. this drama really inspiring me that hurtfull memories can't be erased, but you can learn to forgive who hurts you instead building another personality.. (except if you are rich.. hahha)

I'm glad that Heard it Through the Grapevine and Missing Noir M are included in those poll. Those two are high on my favorite list and I'm glad I can give them their much deserved vote.
Love the last poll dedicated for Jisung, though it torn me to choose between awesome ajusshi Perry Park and wild teenage girl Yona.

Biggest waste of talent is still KIM MYUNG-MIN as underexposed Jung Do-jeon. To be honest, I have officially DROPPED the freaking Six Flying Dragons. Call me disloyal but I'm more like pissed. Kim Myung-min appearing 3 minutes per episode. Life is a joke.

SIX FLYING DRAGONS: Gil Tae-mi, fierce, fabulous, and always party-ready

I LUFF YOU GUYS FOREVER for adding the multiple choice options, thank you so much! Though some were still a hard pick (seriously, just ONE Ji-sung?!! *sob*)

I really do wish Cindy had been the one repping for The Producers in the Best Character lineup though. I think by the end, people were far more emotionally invested in her character than in anyone else in the drama, looking at the recap comments for it. And IU put in a stellar performance, she should get more love! And more roles!

Most Underrated of the year - I had a hard time choosing between Heard It Through the Grapevine and Sassy Go Go. They are both rare birds in the kdrama world - dramas that refused to be slaves to cliche by conforming to tropes, even if they could not have been more different in subject and tone (seriously, the contrast is INSANE).

But what makes them both the best dramas of the year for me is that they both took a fresh approach to stories that have been told a million times before in kdramas - being in/dealing with high school (Sassy Go Go) and poor-girl-marrying-rich, which could easily be in any weekend family drama of the last ten years (Grapevine). Grapevine is actually the black-comedy take on any of the poor-marrying-rich stories, but done like a modern sageuk, complete with autocratic patriarch and a house that is an actual shell of a new house, plopped over the interior of an old one!

Both also had heroines who could have easily fallen into the Candy/underdog cliche trap, but the respective dramas avoided turning them into the cliche, and gave them actual nuance (also, Go Ah-sung and Jung Eun-ji were beyond fantastic in their roles, considering one was pulling off the high-wire act of playing a heroine who wasn't the traditional clueless, likeable Candy and the other had to make her character way more than Geum Jan-di with pompoms). And I also have to note, both had an insane level of detail going on in the way they were set up and shot, whether it was Grapevine's set design or Sassy's slogan tshirts ('STUCK ON U', anyone?).

HEALER NO 1!!! (for me)

Dramabeans' descriptions are as great as ever. I had a great time busting my gut at these clever descriptions that are at once spot-on (totally meta for the dramas they describe) and funny! Thanks for putting up this great poll!

Just a bit sad that the polls are dominated by Healer watchers since I think there's a selection bias going on - Healer for whatever reason was really popular here (but not as much in other forums/blogs) so naturally the polls represent not just the regular kdrama watcher picks (which is fair since it's a poll on dramabeans after all; I just thought in previous years there was no drama that was heavily favored here compared to other communities, so the polls were a bit more reflective of a typical drama watcher's opinion).

Lol looks like the beanies really had their time with healer.

From my side I watched I Remember You and Yongpal and read the recaps for Angry Mom and Village. Im not a big romcom fan as you can see XD

IRY- Wow, my fav Seo In Guk in such a good drama that I will relish! Loved Jang Nara's female cop, she was really refreshingly written. And Min bcoz of whom I finally decided to dip into the answer me series (bo gummie <3) I think the low ratings def helped to cement its close to the heart underdog status and its faults forgiven..which brings me to...

Yongpal- Man talk about a drama crushed bcoz of its ratings. I just let the drama unfold acc to the writers way rather than have any preset expectations. Though it did turn makjangy towards the end I will never deny that I loved Dr Kim Tae hyun and Yeo Jin (& they had way better kisses than the church one in the above vote!) It was my first time watching Joo Won and Kim Tae hee and I walked away a fan. :)

Angry Mom- JISOOOOOO! that is all.

Village- I like it when kdrama try diff genres and the writer def knew how to tell her story!

And thats it, reading answer me 1988 recap atm and waiting for remember and cheese in the trap. Cheers!

Thanks dramabeans for the recaps and polls.

I just discovered your site a couple of months ago and am enjoying the recaps.

Favourite Drama: Healer, Oh My Ghostess, Twenty Again, Last, Six Flying Dragons, Answer Me 1988, Ex-girlfriend's Club (I know more than 5, too many good dramas this year).

Favourite Characters:
Healer as the first option creates a bias...lol (well deserved bias), byun yo han dragon warrior- I am seriously fangirling over his character in SFD (Gil Tae Mi should also be on this list, his character was too fun for a villian), Twenty Again - Prof Dimples, need I say more?, Kill Me Heal Me - I laughed so hard at Yoo Na's scenes.

Most Disappointing Drama - The Time We loved - I kept hoping it would get better but it didn't (Lame reason for not dating imo). The same is happening with Oh My Venus - as much as I love So Ji Sub, sadly I have dropped this drama. HJW & SJS, let's pick better projects in 2016.

Underrated Dramas:
Last - good action, scheming, fighting.
The Village - good plot and different from usually dramas so I enjoyed it.

Currently Watching:
Six Flying Dragons - Currently on ep 18 and not one boring moment yet. Did not think I would enjoy it but this is turning out be a special treat even if it is not historically accurate. Love all the dragons and the strong female characters.

Answer Me 1988 - This is turning out just as great as 1994 and 1997. 1994 is the funniest for me of all the Answer Me series but I love all the characters in 1988 esp the relationships with the parents (tear jerking moments).

Good year in K-dramas.

The polls make me realize dramas this year are more interesting. It's hard to pick the best of the best and the worst of the worst. xD

Hmm, that "Healer" drama seems popular. Never heard of it in my life!

Here's what I'll do for the Ji sung category: come back everyday and vote for all of the characters.

Healer is kicking ass and taking names, and I'm thankful I get to vote for Reply 1988 while inserting whom I want to be the husband (Deok-sun and her husband. You know, that guy), as well as hedging my bets by voting for both Taek and Jung Hwan (If only Taek knew romance like he knows baduk; If only Jung-hwan didn't always put his foot in his mouth). It is a crime I Remember You is losing Favorite Bromance, and my Favorite Character David Lee Hyun was not nominated.

Where is Lee Soo Kyung in Ho-gu's Love for Breakout Performance? She is such a natural. She and Ji Soo were the standout rookies of 2015. But seriously, this year belonged to Ji Soo and Park Bo Gum. 93 Line actors (with forever Nation's Little Brother Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Hyun Woo) are going to rule the world. Then Ryu Joon Yeol as Korea's new love and Yook Sung Jae round out the top four. I love how Ji Sung got his own category. Yo Na deserves to win.

Underrated drama category was hard for me.

While Grapevine and Punch did well domestically, it didn't get enough love internationally imo. But I didn't choose those because I was sated by that recognition and those of like-minded commenters.

Missing Noir M was stylish af, but w/ that ending I'm gunshy from VP 2. If you leave it there show, we will have words.

I gave my vote to My Beautiful Bride, because while it wasn't perfect, it had a great mix of atmosphere and memorable characters. Plus its plot falls didn't aggravate me as much as some others from this yr. Most importantly it gave me Kim Moo Yeol.

For romances, Heart to Heart (despite being dysfunctional on paper) is pretty underrated. It gave one of the best pairings imo, because it delivered where most rom-com/rom-melos lack: genuine heat and synergy. It didn't do the cheap trick of starving you by delaying the skinship to make the love supposedly weightier either. But the last 4 eps were a dive.

Village might've been underrated, yet while it was interesting in what it wanted to do, I keep bemoaning what could've been.

Special mention goes to Awl because I feel like if I'd finished already, I would've def voted for that.

TL;DR I chose My Beautiful Bride for quality+feels+ need for larger recognition) but only by a hair.

hahaha can't believe you created separate item for Ji Sung lol

I love how Dramabeans put poll for Ji Sung and his seven characters. Cheers! MBC better give awards to Ji Sung already, he deserves it all.

I Remember You is totally an underrated drama of the year!! And I am so glad that it has the most votes for "Most Underrated Drama". :D

I don't get why Healer is also an underrated drama. I mean, I thought Healer had good viewership ratings and such?

Oooh this site that I thought I couldn't love more but then you guys decided to add that special award for Ji-sung and friends ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (although I did ask my friend to make sure she voted for Shin Se-gi so I could cast my vote for Yo-na ㅋㅋ)

My top 5 fav dramas this year are Healer, I Remember You, Kill Me Heal Me, Oh My Ghostess, Reply 1988, Sassy Go Go, and Twenty Again, ha!

If only I could pick 3 for fav bromance, I'd have picked YeolJoon (Sassy Go Go!), the guys from Ssangmundong (Reply 1988), and HyunMin (I Remember You) ㅠ.ㅠ

The breakout performance though, who am I supposed choose when Ji-soo, Lee Won-geun, Park Bo-gum Ryu Joon-yeol are put together there? Not to mention Jo Soo-hyang and Chae Soo-bin who were so awesome too. Ahh I guess I just have to vote for the other nominees tomorrow.

Oh and for the most glorious mane of glory, I voted for Byun Yo-han even though I don't watch Six Flying Dragons hehe~ ♥

Oh! I can't believe it's already December.

No doubt "I Remember You" is my favorite. This is Drama of the Year 2015 for you.

Favorite Bromance : Lee Hyun & Lee Min

Best Breakout Performance : Park Bo Gum

Drama most underrrated : I Remember You

To conclude, my heart is still broken by the brothers T_T

I love how music brings back such great memories of the dramas. “Eternal Love” from “Healer” is one of my new faves and I totally appreciate your using the lyrics for the descriptions. The song always brings a smile to my face and I totally rock to it. It joins some older ones on my Favorites playlist: “It has to be you” (Cinderella’s Sister), “Losing my Mind” (My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho), the songs from Dream High, “Still as Ever” and “Promise” (You’re Beautiful); “Nonsense” (Personal Taste), “Suddenly” (City Hunter), “Found You” (Sungkyunkwan Scandal), Polly (Coffee Prince), and Be My Love (My Name Is Kim Samsoon), to name a few. This list totally dates me, right? :)

It's December already and just realized i didn't really watch that many drama this year that i end up not knowing what to vote for some parts haha XD

Anyway, seriously Dramabeans!!!! How can you be so cruel? How can you expect us to choose the breakout performance where the nominees are all good T____T
I voted Ji Soo but my heart pains for Lee Won Geun, Park Bo Gum, Chae Soo Bin, Park So Dam (although in The Silenced) and even Hyeri. Can't they all get the award?

Guess this means i need to start watching KMHM and Punch haha looking forward for the final result!

Bummer. Something is not letting me vote. ...... I think it's my computer. *sadface*

Regardless, thanks for the polls! Always great fun!

Enjoying reading everyone's comments.

A lot of good stuff this year. Deciding favorite dramas and characters is a little difficult because there was so much to love, but I have to say, Punch was a real standout for me this year.

Thanks again everyone for making Dramabeans so fantastic!

Just going through these hilarious additions to the drama titles and all of sudden...

PUNCH: It hurts because I'm dying

...well that escalated quickly.
