The Bean Count [Year in Review, Part 1]
by girlfriday
Welcome to The Bean Count, a new feature we’re trying out this year, which arose, if we’re being totally honest, out of a half-loopy brainstorming session of thinking up new, improved (?) ways to weigh in on the past year’s drama offerings. The Beanie Polls are all about you guys, and the Editors’ Picks are our chance to highlight the shows we felt merited special recognition. And of course we have our individual reviews coming up a little later this month.
But sometimes the critically acclaimed shows aren’t the ones that stick with you, and we wondered how our staff would vote if the question wasn’t “Which drama was the best?” but more along the lines of “Let’s say we gave you beans. And you could award a show however many beans you had based on whatever reason you wanted. How would you give away your beans? By the way, in this scenario beans are a good thing.”
That was the birth of The Bean Count, an ill-fated attempt by writers to do math.
Even nonsensical games need rules, so here were ours:
- 1. You get one bean for every 2015 show you’ve watched in its entirety. (You also earn one bean per currently airing show if you’ve seen every available episode thus far.) So: If you watched fifty shows, you get fifty beans. Five shows, five beans.
- 2. You can allot your beans to whatever 2015 shows you choose, whatever your reasoning (or lack thereof) may be. All your beans to one show? Okay. One bean to every show? Okay too.
You’ll see from our chart that some people weighted their beans heavily for the few shows they really loved, while others were more inclined to spread their love around. It was fun for us to see the results too, because we didn’t discuss our bean allotments with each other, and were curious to see how everyone’s beans would stack up. We weren’t allowed to collude with each other or give each other beans, and it made every decision feel weighted with significance. Sure, I might feel like giving a show’s bean to another show, but what if that show got left off the bean tally entirely? Could I deal with that sense of responsibility?
Suddenly every single bean started feeling extremely precious, and we’d constantly be saying things like, I don’t know if I can afford to give this show a bean, but what if it gets zero beans?! Did I really love this show three beans as much as that show? Why didn’t I watch another show so I could have one more bean to give? Can I manage to watch a full show in the next three days to earn another bean?
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, y’all.
In the end, we think the bean count revealed a lot about each recapper’s personal preferences, as well as what stood out for us as a group in 2015. There’s a nifty chart where you can see how everyone distributed their beans, and a handy pie chart version as well. Because who doesn’t like pie?
Play along! Tell us how many beans you earned this year, and how you’d allot them to the dramas of 2015.

These are the number of my beans:
HEALER= 5 (is that the maximum?)
KILL ME HEAL ME=3
OH MY GHOSTESS= 3.5
SCHOOL 2015= 4
THE GIRL WHO SEES SMELL= 3.5
MASK=3
I REMEMBER YOU= 4
So farm everything's on KBS.... They really have great dramas, even if some of the plot aren't good, the cinematography and acting is great...
.. I watched Pinocchio but 2 stars only... I wonder why it's not on 2015 lists, but Im glad it's not....
Nothing beats Healer... for now...

Nifty idea DB, and a wonderful way of spending my remaining neurons trying to split my beans. I earned 15, nonetheless, so the chart should be something like this:
- AWL ⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
- OH MY GHOST ⚫⚫⚫
- LET'S EAT 2 ⚫⚫
- SPY ⚫⚫
- VILLAGE: SECRET OF ACHIARA⚫⚫
- D-DAY⚫
Trust me, I want my dramas to be how they are (that's why I watch them), I need that escapism dose, I want to watch 16 hours of nonsensical relationships, convoluted plots that could be written in a rolling paper, and astonishingly beautiful korean ladies everywhere. But... When I stumble upon oddities like the aforementioned AWL, MISAENG, BAD GUYS... everything changes. Quality in every aspect of the show, cohehence, a free slice of real life in Korea, script over ratings, splendid actors believing their roles. That's a win for me.
Yes, I know that AWL could have been way better, better young actors and better editing, but is like watching the fantastic movie CART (if you didn't saw I and you liked AWL it's a must) mixed with my worst job ever. And it's so close to reality that is scary as hell, and I live in Spain.
On a side note: One day I should tell how I finished hooked in this freaking crazy drama world. Trust me, you won't believe it.

whoa Javabeans and I could be bestfriends! lol and funny story, I've been doing a similar 'bean' rating system that you guys did since I've discovered the guilty pleasure of watching kdrama (which shortly became a part of my life). So I'm just writing what my notes says about them.
I got 14 beans this year.
Healer - 2
Producer - 1
Let's Eat 2 - 1
Oh My Ghostess - 2
Twenty Again - 1
Yong Pal - 3
She Was Pretty - 1
Reply 1988 - 3
finally it’s the end of the year and currently keeping up with I Remember You, Kill Me Heal Me, Ex Girlfriends Club, and Bubblegum of this year which I didn’t include above.

I have 12 beans, I think I am going to slant them for my favorites; however, with the exception of Warm and Cozy which I watched for the leads and the deep, deep wish it was going to get better, overall I was pleased with the dramas I finished. I watched from beginning to end or am caught up on;
Heart to Heart
Kill Me, Heal Me - 3
Sensory Couple - 1
Producers
Warm and Cozy
I Remember You - 3
Sassy Go Go - 2
Second Time Twenty
Oh My Ghostess
She Was Pretty
Reply 1988 - 2
Oh My Venus - 1
Reply 1988 may end up deserving more, but it's not done. I keep getting to episode of 15 of Healer and bailing. I love the leads and ajhumma, but I think the intrigue starts to bore me. I may fast forward through the rest of it.

Hmmm, my first try doesn't look like it posted, sorry if this ends up being a double post. I watched 12 dramas from beginning to end or up to the current episode this year. For the most part, if I finished a drama I enjoyed it - I'm going to slant my beans towards the ones I really like. They are
Heart to Heart
Kill Me, Heal Me 3
Sensory Couple
Producers
Warm and Cozy
I Remember You 4
Sassy Go Go 2
Second Time Twenty
Oh My Ghostess
She Was Pretty
Reply 1988 2
Oh My Venus 1
Reply 1988 and Oh My Venus are harder to judge. I think Reply may end up deserving more beans, it may end up being my favorite out of the Replies, but we have to wait and see. Oh My Venus gas leads that are killing it, but would not be as interesting without them. I keep on getting stuck on episode 15 of Healer. I love the leads and ajhumma, but the Dr Evil political intrigue gets a little old for me after awhile.

Oh, I also watched Pinocchio if that counts, and that would probably shift my bean distribution. I would give 2 to Pinocchio and 0 to Oh My Venus, even though I am enjoying it.

Oh My Venus ()() - leads leads feels
Shine or Go Crazy () - the leads and story
Falling for Innocence () - the hero and story
Time We were Not in Love () - the leads
Oh My Ghostess () - the leads,story,feels
War of the Son () - the leads
My Love Eun dong
Blood
20 Again
She Was Pretty () - heh!! For Siwon only
Lmao...obvs I've got beef for She Was Pretty bigtime - possibly won't get over it anytime soon.

I would love to give all my beans to Siwon but don't want to give any recognition to She Was Pretty. I don't understand the love. Can we give beans to the actors themselves in the next Bean Count?
I think the action/thriller category was my favorite this year with Healer, I Remember You, and Missing Noir M.

Totally, Donna! I mean about Siwon getting major beans if we were aiming them for the actors and not the drama itself. But wait, I think we can ?
Ooh, and I completely forgot I finished I Remember You. So it gets its own bean because I freaking loved it.

I watched a lot of K drams this year but a lot of them were older dramas.
These are the (23)shows which aired in 2015 that I finished:
6:Pinocchio (Didn't FF at all while watching this drama, great chemistry between the main actors)
5:Healer (Loved the 2 main characters and the way their relationship was portrayed)
4:Angry Mom (I didn't watch this till October but I finished it in a week, great drama with a surprising amount of humour)
4:I Remember You (One of the few dramas I wish was longer. Great characters that I wanted to spend more time with, even the murderers)
2:Twenty Again (Choi Ji Woo and Lee Sang Yoon)
1:Kill Me, Heal Me (Ji Sung)
1:Falling For Innocence (loved the romance and Jung Kyung Ho but didn't like the ending)
1:Sassy Go Go (good teen drama with a great cast, could have spent more time on certain characters)
Birth of a Beauty
Hyde, Jekyll, Me (boring, almost didn't finish and ugh that ending)
Shine or Go Crazy
Blood
Girl Who Sees Smells
Who Are You - School 2015
Producer
Orange Marmalade
High Society
Mask
The Time We Were Not in Love (terrible, should have ended after about 10 episodes not enough story for 16)
Oh My Ghostess
Scholar Who Walks the Night
Yong Pal (another show that was good in the beginning but got boring then bad)
She Was Pretty
D-Day (way too much politics, would have been a much better show without the Director Park character)
The other shows I didn't comment on were ok to good but not good enough to get a bean.
Currently airing shows I am watching:
1:Six Flying Dragons (like what I'm seeing so far, some great performances)
1:Reply 1988 (Really getting into it)
1:Oh My Venus(Great chemistry between the main couple)
Remember (2 episodes isn't enough to make a judgement)

you should also add info about who has watched what shows.
because someone allocating
no beans to a show they have not watched is very different from allocating
no beans to a show they have watched.
i wonder if it would be fun to also allow negative beans. ie, one hates a show so much that one wants to use beans to subtract beans from a show's total score.

This really makes me want to finish the "incompletes" on my list.
I finished over 25 dramas this year; however, most were older series or Japanese, Taiwanese, or Thai (rather than Kdramas). I "paused" or outright dropped over double that many dramas.
Of the 2015 dramas, I only finished 5. I really was enjoying Healer but ended up "skimming" episodes so I could go to bed. Therefore, I wouldn't count it as "completely" watched.
My 5:
I Remember You - 2 beans
I Order You
Oh My Venus
Pinocchio - 2 bean
Warm and Cozy - 1 bean
As I actually finished these, I want to give a bean to all of them. However, I guess I'll take from Oh My Venus since it's not finished yet (no guarantee I will stick with it) and I Order You (b/c I didn't really care for the last episode or two).

Healer is the best drama of 2015 for me and I'm giving it 4 beans. One bean for Kill Me, Heal Me. The only reason I'm not giving Oh My Venus any is because it's not over yet. I hope it finishes well. If so, I'll split my beans between Healer and Oh My Venus.

I love healer, but after the drama end for a month, i forget the drama easily, but not with I remember You, after the drama end, i search all recaps from another recapers just to read what they thinking about this drama, and after a month past, i still missing I Remember You.
It's not just the characters, but also the story, it's so good that i can't let go the drama.
For me 15+alpha for IRY.

Wow. I have 25 beans. I never know I watched that much dramas, and it's only k-dramas, i didn't count t-dramas and j-doramas.
Well, even though I watch 25 dramas, I will only give out my beans to:
Healer - 4 beans (for my Bongsukkie who is the most adorable guy ever)
I Remember You - 6 beans (so that I could see my Min alive and all smiley, happy with his bro)
Reply 1988 - 8 beans (so Taek could smile more, and Junghwan to be even more adorable than before)
She Was Pretty - 3 beans (for making me trying to grew one Onionie, and of course for the panties)
Sassy Go, Go - 2 beans (so that my cutie puppy Jisoo could finally be the main lead)
Girl Who Sees Smells - 2 beans (for my hubby Yoochunnie)
I enjoyed Repyl 1988 so much so far, though 1 hour and 40 minutes kinda too long, but if it will leads me to a smiling Taekkie and Junghwan then I'm up for it. Can I just ship this two instead of finding which one is the husband? Pretty please?
Lol.
Thank you dramabeans! <3 <3

This whole bean count makes me realize how much of an addict I am. This year I've completed 40 k-dramas, which earns me 40 beans.
If I have to award the beans away (only for the really really good ones):
Punch - 7
Twenty Again - 5
Healer - 5
Kill Me Heal Me - 5
Oh My Ghostess - 3
My Beautiful Bride - 3
Reply/Answer Me 1988 - 3
Ho Gu's Love - 2
The Producers - 2
I Remember You - 2
Angry Mom - 1
Missing Noir M - 1
Six Flying Dragons - 1
Verdict: Jajangmyun brothers win!

- Six Flying Dragons - 3 beans
These didn't get my undying love, but kudos for performance so they deserve 1 bean each:
- Punch - 1 bean
- Oh My Ghost - 1 bean
- Scholar Who Walks The Night - 1 bean
- Mask - 1 bean
Reply 1988 - my last 1 bean for introducing me to Ryu Jun-yeol. It will be good if you can do sharper editing, really! The length is really getting more absurd by the episode. Sometimes I feel I'm watching 2 separate shows by the same cast, love show versus slice of life (sometimes emotional, sometimes really mundane(dad mum squabble, police station, gambling)) family show
Joo Won, I really love your performance in every show I've followed you in: Baker King, Bridal Mask, 7th Grade Civil Servant (your performance was good even when the show became bad quickly), Good Doctor, Naeil's Cantabile, Yong Pal. But no, I still can't bring myself to give Yong Pal any bean after plunging me into zz-ness after luring me in with the exhiliarating nail biting first half of a ride. You deserve just a honorable mention.

So I had 12 beans. To be fair, I would have many more, but some of these are mostly finished or abandoned. The drama's I would focus on go roughly in this order:
1) Oh My Ghostess (Positive, with caveats -- 3 beans)
2) Oh My Venus (Positive, with caveats -- 2 beans)
3) I Remember You (Negative -- 2 beans)
4) Reply 1988 (Positive, but can't judge quite yet -- 2 beans)
5) She Was Pretty (Moooostly Negative -- 1 bean)
6) Heart to Heart (Positive -- 1 bean)
7) The Girl Who Sees Smells (mostly positive -- 1 bean)
All of these together really highlighted some of the best and worst K-drama moments of 2015 for me (I watched my first asian drama in January!) and having watched 52 dramas in their entirety this year. I look forward to 52 more in the new year --- Yay, no free time!
Side Note:
I didn't see Yong-Pal...not sure I want to touch that with either of my favorite chopsticks. :-)

I was kinda shocked to find out i actually finished some that i thought i dropped..how is it that I don't remember the ending..? time to go back to recaps.
I have 13 beans, seems like I watched more drama this year.
Healer - 5 beans
Angry Mom - 1 bean
I Remember You - 3 beans
Twenty Again - 2 beans
Six Flying Dragons - 2 beans
Maybe i should've finished Yong Pal, KMHM, Girl Who Sees Smells, She Was Pretty & Oh My Venus for more beans to give away...i guess i do drop dramas quite easily *slaps myself for lack of commitment*
