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!)

Im just curious, but how come PINOCCHIO was not included on some of the polls, thou it's also from 2015... I AM NOT A PINOCCHIO fan thou, IM just so glad it's not there... hehehe..
BUT I'm just so happy Healer it is leading.... I have watched most of the dramas on the poll, and yeah Im so disappointed with some of it... Mostly, many have the same tastes like mine....
I just hope that there's a TV broadcast on this award thing, or perhaps a picture where they were holding the trophy or something??...

How can I vote for the last poll? I LOVE all Jisung's characters in KMHM. They all have their own charm. Maybe I should mark in my calendar from 7 days to vote for each one of them?
For me the suspense dramas this year are not as suspense as bad guys from last year or from 2015 Chinese Drama, Love Me If You Dare; so... maybe I'll vote for Healer, I Remember You, and Missing Noir M.
I like Missing Noir M. And they are good but still lacking from Bad Guys.

Alas, there were a lot of my faves that weren't here. :melodramatic sigh:
My favorite secondary couple was the best friend/assistant hematologist from Blood. They were cute and sweet.
And one of the biggest wastes of talent was poor Kwon Hyun Sang, who spent most of Blood just standing around, looking at the floor.
My favorite pairings were - honestly - not romantic ones. I loved I Remember You's triangle of brothers and killers. I loved the whole show, but that tension-filled triangle kept me tuning in week after week.
And I found the wholly-dysfunctional relationship between Gwi and the Minister's daughter in Scholar to be 1,000 times more interesting than the main pairing, which struck me as really annoying.

the script is brilliant, except for the stalking part, which did not work on me at all. I did not find any charm in it nor saw a purpose. but it was directed to the best it enabled at least

I was leaning back in my chair for this poll then I got to the last question and shot upright - How can I choose my favourite Ji Sung?!
Thanks for giving us that awesome category. lol.
Most of my votes went to Last. :D

Imaginary Cat has way too few eps to be considered tbh ^^;;
lolol @ the song quotes in Healer
Reply 1988 has overtaken Reply 1997 as my fav kdrama ever. I just love Deok Sun (or Soo Yeon) so much I want her to have all the best things in life uwu
Underrated drama poll isn't showing for me
Not a lot of memorable kisses for me this year. The only one leaving an impression on me is the Bubblegum kiss and Oh My Ghostess Park Bo Young's "can i kiss you one more time?" killed me
the drama i'm most disappointed in is Sassy Go Go (although Lee Won Geun is a work of art) because it had so much potential but it focused on too much of the Soo Ah angst instead of the cute
Bubblegum was cute in the first few eps but i clocked out as soon as the angst kicks in
I enjoyed Because It's The First Time quite a lot actually
I want moarr yummy mukbang-dramas! (is there a term for that?)

I think in Best Kiss category you forgot about Mrs.Cop one, the kiss in the final episode, it was mindblowing, hoped that there were more of them...

It was a tough year for me to keep up with dramaland for the 2nd half of this year...I have a lot to catch up to, but I'm so glad that the last part was included. I really feel that Jisung wasn't properly credited for his stellar performance in KMHM. Happy Holidays to all the beanies out there. Cheers!

My Favorite Couple is not even listed on your poll as an option - Kim Rae-Won and Kim Ah-Joong in Punch. Those two successfully showed us the deep love they had for each other without even any skinship. Just Bravo performance for the both of them.

I was so disappointed not to find Yeo Jin (Yong Pal) on fav character list that couldn't even finish voting. She was such a unique female lead character and one of the best in kdrama land :(
Twenty Again was probably my most favorite drama this year. Also nice to see some love for Awl on this poll too.

Ji Sung won the Grand award. he really deserved and worthy of it. congrat to all his fans.
MBC award is really in truth, a KMHM night.(of cause there are others who won, even Gwi from STWTN also, but it likes evenly spread thru out. only KMHM gains a truck-full.

I realised that the 'Best Bromance' section miss out on 'Oh my ghostess' kitchen mates.
I am rewatching OMG now, and these guys gave out so much positive energy that I never really noticed when I first watched!

There are othdr natural homje remedies like yoga, acupuncture and
aroma therapy whic are turned out to be highly effectivve
in treating several diseases. We all know hat the everyday workout is imporfant to keep a fantastic health, but lots of us don't
follow this advice. Just like other pro supplements, protein drinks and shkes can be a very helpful means
of providing essential pro nside thhe system for the performing of invaluable functions
with the body.
