PS: Considering Goblin a 2016 drama.
Not watched Forest of Secrets and Chicago Typewriter yet.
I also like Two Cops and Mysterious Il-seung and waiting for "I am not a Robot".

My 2017 drama that managed to get on the list:
1. Seven Days Queen
2. Chicago Typewriter
3. Goblin
4. Circle
5 (half remembered, bearable,maybe on list): Voice, While you were sleeping, Tunnel, Forest of secret, Defendent).
Many said BTLIOF is having good review/many fans too but I don't think my mind are ready to watch such genre/ drama yet.

I didn't watch many dramas this year but still managed 14 of them from beginning to end, including Goblin which is late 2016.
My Top 5:
Forest of Secrets: 4 beans (pleeeaase, come back!)
Tunnel: 3 beans
Strong Woman DBS: 3 beans
Buamdong Revenge Club: 2 beans
Age of Youth S2: 2 beans
Honorable mentions, because no beans left!
School 2017: I love bad boys/softies
Goblin: I love Gong Yoo
Mad Dog: I love Yoo Ji Tae
Suspicious Partner: I love Ji Chang Wook/Nam Ji Hyun together
20th Century Boy & Girl: I love a no-brainer
Besides I dropped While you were sleeping and Revolutionary Love and speed-watched My Father is Strange.
Though BTLIOF had good reviews, I could not make myself watch it.
Last but not least, I love Kang unnie in any drama. She's my top bad ass of the year by!

Ranking of dramas watched in its entirety:
The Package
Chicago Typewriter
Chief Kim
Circle
Defendent
Tunnel
Live Up to Your Name
Lingerie Girls Generation
Hospital Ship

Due to online popularity/buzz and/or rave reviews, I watched the below dramas but they just couldn't sustain my continued interest so were dropped early or half-way thru the series.
Goblin
Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon
Suspicious Partner
Forest of Secrets
Woman of Dignity
While You Were Sleeping

Right now watching and enjoying Argon at episode 5.

I started many many dramas, lost interest, didn't get far and couldn't finish most, but finished and thoroughly enjoyed two: Forest of Secrets and Revolutionary Love. I would give my two beans to Revolutionary Love even though FoS was very good as well because I feel RL needs more fan love.

I am not exactly disagreeing with what the charts are showing, its just that I am more into that escapist vibe (this year, last year...IDK). My friends have tried convincing me every now and then about some series which have also been rated great by others and /or recapped positively here. I'l take the above result as a reminder of the series I missed and give them a chance (read: Marathon) during down time.

Right now i am having a blast with Two Cops and Doubtful Victory and just enjoyed 20th Century B&G, Temp of Love plus Go Back Couple. :)

Ugh I knew this year was a slump. Last year I watched 20 current dramas (and I think like 5 older dramas), and this year I only watched 15 dramas (with 1 older drama)...

I want to get out of this slump...

I have completed 19 series this year and hope to shortly finish 2 more (Temperature of Love and Witch's Court-for my man YMH).
My 19 beans are awarded as follows:
Top two dramas:
Defendant: 6 beans
Forest of Secrets: 5 beans also kudos for a fantastic ost
Honorable mention with 1 bean each:
Voice
Tunnel
Whisper
Chicago Typewriter
Duel
Falsify
While You Were Sleeping
Mad Dog

19 for me. Hard to choose because if I finished it I liked it. I started almost all the dramas this year but for one reason or another they didn't keep me intrigued. So I'm dividing my beans amongst those dramas that I just couldn't wait till the following week.

My 19 dramas in order of preference:
1. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon ****
2. Seven Day Queen ****
3. Black ****
4. Go Back Spouses***
5. Rebel**
6. School 2017**
7. Fight My Way
8. Suspicious Partner
9. Because This Life is our First
10. Introverted Boss
11.Chief Kim
12. Witch's Court
13. Live Up to Your Name
14. Voice
15. While You Were Sleeping
On second thought I don't think I'd give a bean to the last 4:
16. Tomorrow with You
17. Goblin
18. Missing 9
19. Hwarang

I just realized I don't think I FINISHED a 2017 drama this year lol!! :o Unless you count the fact that tomorrow night after work I plan on finishing the last ep of BTLIOF :D I just finished Age of Youth last week but that was from 2016..I love starting but I never finish?!
But I blame being a FT student and working PT and graduating this year :3 I'll def have more time next year!!!

TOMORROW WITH YOU GOT LESSER BEANS THAN HWARANG, THE BEST HIT, TEMPERATURE OF LOVE, LIAR AND HIS LOVER!!! WHYY?!! HOW COMEEE

Finished 65. Goblin is my fav. But I was happy about this year's drama offering. It is easier to count the ones I didn't like this year, like Manhole, Radiant office and Hwarang.

Awh, it breaks my heart a little to see Throw Back Couple and Tomorrow With you getting so few beans.

Where's headno2?

Love the yearly been count!
This year, 34 beans:
Because this Life is Our First: 6 (Everything)
Circle: 5 (Summer Suspense when diversion most needed)
Forest of Secrets: 5 (More suspense)
Goblin: 3 (Music)
Age of Youth: 2 (Friends)
Chicago Typewriter: 2 (Maybe the Olden Days were not so great)
Father is Strange: 2 (Best Older Sister I Never Had)
My Gold Life: 2 (So crazy, yet so compelling...)
Mystery Queen: 2 (Ahjumma Detective!)
Rebel: 2 (The music, the friends... )
20th C. Boy & Girl: 1 (oh Anthony)
Lingerie Girls: 1 (Silly Young Love)
Strong Woman: 1 (If only we could all be so strong)

With the influx of good dramas airing in May, I bit off more than I could chew and subsequently fell into a slump. I was simultaneously watching Ruler, Suspicious Partner, Circle, Fight My Way, and Lookout but have not managed to finish any of them. I have not dropped them, but not only do they not count as beans, I also can't give any of those dramas beans neither.

I have 11 beans.
Liar and His Lover... 4
While You Were Sleeping... 4
Tomorrow With You... 2
Chicago Typewriter... 1
