TvN has amazing dramas.
SIGNAL and THEK2 are my favorites of TvN2016 for me.
Signa had the Best villain.
TheK2 is the BEST action-drama-politic 2016.
TheK2 had the Best couple : "Anna and Jeha"
Anna and Jeha's kiss in spain was so real and hot. i fall in love with both.

I agree with you about tvn. I really enjoyed signal, oh hae young, the good wife, and drinking solo, but the K2 was a big disappointment for me. I was expecting a high quality and slick action series, but it didn't seem to mesh the different tones well, the writing was weak, and characters were unlikable.

I'm just going to say this one last time. "Signal" was based on "Memories of Murder." If you like Signal, you should watch "Memories of Murder."

@Sojuboy,
Thanks so much for the pointer to MEMORIES OF MURDER. I watched SIGNAL after its run, so wasn't around for the live recaps and commenting. I've started watching Korean films as well as dramas, but am a wuss and don't usually watch thrillers (especially ones based on heinous real-life crimes). Am tickled to see that one of my fave character actors, Kim Roe-Ha, plays a supporting role... so that makes the film even more tempting. ;-)
For the record, aside from all the praise on DB for SIGNAL, the music really sold me on watching it. One of my favorite OSTs ever.

Signal was very loosely based on Memories of Murder. There was so much more to that drama besides the one case about the serial murder.

Signal is the best thriller drama ever in Korea for me, signal is the best drama this year
The way how they send us message of the past to the future and the way they match real criminals case to the story are really amazing

Fact is this poll can be easily rigged. I tested it by using Proxy and VPN. I was able to to cast votes 3 times. It would have been better if they had used Google spreadsheet which asks for login[that too is easy to fool] OR Setup a system on their own site.
2nd It looks more of a popularity poll as a few specific shows are inappropriate no. of votes even when that poll itself doesn't fit well with the show.
3rd. There are some options in some polls which either shouldn't be there or should be but still aren't. Choosing 3 best options doesn't work out well either.
4th - No one has watched or tried all the shows so whatever expeirence the audience has with limited no. of shows they watched, they voted according to it. In the end this polls ends up providing vague results.
I have voted but noway this yearly poll can be taken seriously.

I have fun doing these type polls, but - yep - you're right. Not to be taken too seriously and obviously some shows have been seen by more viewers. I never get why shows that haven't completed their run are included.

Yes, especially this year, because there were so many good shows...
... and I hate voting for a show that hasn't finished yet for anything "best", in case they blow the ending.
So Legend of the Blue Sea wasn't one of my 3 best, but there's a good chance it would have been if it had finished.

I do agree that shows that it is questionable that shows that have not finished airing are included. As a rule of thumb, I would only include shows that have aired at least more than half of their episodes.

yup lol no need to get mad at rigged polls. just for fun- and i reat it as the list that reminds me what i watch and didnt watch. How i felt then and now- on those dramas. for eg i was really head over heels with Another Miss Oh but now i looked back im not gonna rewatch again.
Db writers will write their own piece and how they feel about 2016 dramas.
Personally i did not vote for any dramas that are currently airing

I am not voting since I only watched 4 of the dramas airing this year. But I think there are a lot of people who mostly watch the hyped dramas and then vote on those few they have watched. There are no rules for being eligible to vote and it's mostly just for fun, but I can see your point. Personally I just don't feel right voting when I haven't even seen 1/4 of these.

I only wish there would be more questions framed in such a way so that Oh Hae Young Again would be the obvious choice for most pollsters, thereby allowing it to "win" more categories, and then...in so doing, entice more people into watching it. : )

Very much the opposite for me. Except for Jeaously Incarnate (which I haven't finished yet so I'm not going to vote for it), there's nothing I actually want to give my vote to. Maybe Signal, but I've only watched up to ep 6 so too early to tell.
Lots of shows that started well but fell apart. Lots of shows that I dropped because they were terribly pretty much from the beginning. A couple of good ones, but none outstanding enough to merit "Favourite Drama" for me...

I wouldn't call his going to army an award for either him or us, but he has to do what he has to.. I am so looking forward to the "maturity" he believes will come in 2 years. I hope that maturity comes with some muscles and a resolution to get cuter and hotter (if that is even possible) with every show! :D

Lol at Kim Bokjoo, though this is really her show. I voted for her every time I saw her. Such an uplifting, relatable character!

Swag (2) my friends.
I rarely finished watching a drama but SIGNAL is fucking great. Deserves best drama.
The other dramas i finished were 1% and... Let me remember. Damn i forget.
But LSK is such a great actress i totally forget that she was Inha in CITT and doctors. Both are dramas of this year.
Blue sea.. Hmm.. Sorry JJH, you seriously reminds me of anothee character in MLFAS. Shrug.

Wow the love for Moonlight is real! But I'm going to keep voting Park Hae Jin for the most wasted talent. CITT was a nightmare!! Seo Kang Joon didn't even do well in his own drama wtf

Looks >>>> talent, that's why.
It's not that he can't act, he just isn't charismatic enough to lead a show. Unless he improves to that point, he'll be winnowed out in favour of fresh blood in the next few years. (the field for male actors is rather stricter than for women, that way)

I kinda liked him in CITT and really thought he had improved, but judging from what he said in interviews, the PD allowed him free reign and they adapted the role to his limitations. The problem is his lack of versatility as well tbh. He hasn't demonstrated any range yet as an actor imo.

December 5, 2016 at 7:22 AM
@yuju - I think you have it right, he doesn't have much range.
I've noticed he tends to play all his roles the same way, and the most obvious way - there's no nuance or depth to his acting, especially compared to certain other actors his age.

Sponsor, probably. Or favoritism. He's also bad in that saeguk with lee yeon hee.

If he really has a sponsor that guy must be really big in TVN to pull that much shit on a successful drama like CITT

Seo Kang Joon is completely lacking in on screen charisma and chemistry with his costars. He is pretty but bland.

Yeah Entourage seems to have burst a lot of his bubble. It was pretty risky for him to take on such an infuriating character. Even more experienced actors would have had trouble with such a character, so it really further exposed a lot of his weaknesses. His acting in Cheese was not exactly nuanced, but it was ok for a second lead (I mean, what used to be a second lead .... yeah). Would have been interesting to see him giving his shot at playing the actual webtoon character and not the saccharine version of it tho.

I'm kinda conflicted between Lee Jung-gi and Park Hae-jin. But I decided to vote for Park Hae-jin. At least, Lee Jung-gi got a lot of screen times and chances to show his best performance, while Park Hae-jin ended up being an outcast in the show in which he was supposed to be the main lead. Not to mention how he wasn't included in the CiTT OST Drama pictorial book.

This-is-my-happiest-moment kiss from "Shopping King Louie" will always be my favorite kiss scene. It was genuine and very sweet. And the entire scene was just oozing with honey. <3

Is this a daily votes allowed thing like last year?
I know they're a touch on the low-profile side but Age of Youth and Police Unit 38 need more love.

Haven't seen AoY, but definitely agree that PU38 needs more love! For me it's the best of the year.
And yes, I wondered that too. It's a crime show and fits at least the thriller genre.

I know, right? Twistiest drama of the year that kept your head spinning and still not nominated.
well, whoever wins, I´ll con the award out of them and throw it off a rooftop....or... maybe that would be a bad idea.

or, since I said in another comment that the award is Maxim gold, perhaps it is worth throwing from a rooftop. 50 million portions of maxim Gold for all the homeless amnesiacs out there.

At least Age of Youth is leading in something, that best girlfriends category. But poor Beautiful Mind is completely left in the dust. For me Lee Young Oh was one of the most memorable main characters of the last few years. It will probably not get any mentions in the staff picks either.
