Me: *voting for Favorite Porcupine category*
*realizing that I can only vote for one character*
Sorry Ji-an, I love you and all, but Life (and Pres Gu) stole my heart and still hasn't gave it back.

Well, this was an easy poll for me.

I chose I’m Not a Robot, Mother, and/or My Ajusshi for almost everything. Sprinkled in some Just Between Lovers, Waikiki, and Poetry for good measure.

Lee Ji-an is definitely my favorite character this year and tied for all-time favorite, and her being an option almost (almost) makes up for Nam Se-hee not even being an option last year. Yes, I’m still bitter.

Gosh, My Ajusshi was so good.

Trying to choose betwen Nam Shin III, Jia, Nam Woo, and Chan for favorite character is not possible!! Why couldn't it have said choose 4?! 😭😭😭

Miss Hammurabi wasn't t there! I'm pissed off, Dramabeans! 😡

It's sad how there's no Mane of Glory category this year. Bring the sageuks back!

It'5 a shame Just dance is not included in the poll but that's okay.
My most fav character is Kim Shie Eun from Just Dance. I love her complexity, her struggle, her dream, and I relate to her no matter how twist her mind is. The writers really write her with such realism and full of heart.

Second is Lee Ji an from My Ajusshi. Her loneliness, her wanting to be alone but also crave for a true friend. Touch me deeply.

The third fav character is On Joon Young from The Third Charm.

Uh, Obviously Meteor Garden should be on all these polls. Jokes. ;)

YOUR HONOR: I'm a criminal but I've to act like an angle

Did I just notice a typo or this is a pun intended? 😂😂😂

Anyway, since my watchlist this year is very few, I only could vote for some of the categories. 😢 The initial results look interesting and I can't wait to see what they'll look like come new year day. 😄😄

Not all the categories showed up as possible to vote on for me (using a mac).

How can I select just one favourite squad! I loved the KIS, the ghost busters from The Guest and the odd ball fam from Hwayugi, all the same... they really amped-up my enjoyment of their respective shows 💜 💜

*When you favourite character was the Monkey King*... 👀

A couple of my most entertaining picks.

What show did you drop: The Great Seducer. Show started off great with amazing character chemistry. But wow did it go off rails. I LOVE the American version Cruel Intentions so this was super hard for me.

Best Breakout Performance: Won Jin-Ah. Definitely have a big crush on her now and going to check out everything she's in, in the future.

What Suffering had you glued: Just Between Lovers but I definitely think it's cruel I can't pick multiple ones.

And on a side note, I completely forgot about Misty even though I enjoyed the show when it was on, even with that ending.

I'm sad han tae joo or anyone from LoM was not listed as favourite character. I had no one to choose from the list above 😢

LoM is my favourite of 2018! And LoM squad is my favourite squad 🤭🤩

Game for best villain yes 😂😂😂

why didn't they put i'm not a robot in which drama to live in for a day*cue crying*....this year dramas were so good....hoping next year will be better though

Favorite lead couple: why is Ji-an and Dong-hoon not included in the choices?

Suffering: My Ajusshi all the way. It's the only thing that kept me sane when I was so stressed at work and at graduate school. When I felt isolated at work, the Hoogye-dong gang welcomed me with open arms (and soju bottles!)

Drama world: why is My Ajusshi not here? Would love to be part of my Hoogye-dong gang

I also did a few cameos throughout the year.

The island in Top Star - my breakout performance, in line for Best Actress ( Inanimate Category) for next year's Baeksang Awards. Wish me luck, guys.

The wood in Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter
The elevator in Suits
The law in Lawless Attorney
The alley in A Hundred Million Stars
The wok and the grease (dual roles) in Greasy Melo
Dong Mae's kimono in Mr. Sunshine
The sky in Sky Castle

My vote goes to My Ahjussi, Mr Sunshine, Life on Mars and Live.
Can't believe I've been doing this for more than 5 years! Haha. Beanie Poll signifies end of year. Another year passes by, still an avid drama watcher, still an ahjumma at heart. =)

I'm not ashamed to confess that i voted MEMORIES OF THE ALHAMBRA: (Where videogames feel mindblowing-ly real 🤣🤣🤣) for the drama I want to live in a day.

No Kim Jae Wook or Kim Dong Wook?
Hanie is sad....

i can see a lot the same winner for all categories which definitely not mine choices. good luck to winner tho. i end up in terrible drama slump that whatever drama Beanies has been raving for the past year seems so bland all of it. i did a lot of trip down the memory lane this time.

and i thinks it a bit....unfair to include current airing drama into the poll? i mean there are tons drama which has finish this year. why include those which are not finish yet tho?

I think it was a good year for dramas.

I particulary liked Pretty Noona and Third Charm because they were not like the other dramas. They told a story that feels very real. There are no : the nice won and the villain is punished, the love changes all their life, no big happy ending, etc just life with its good and bad moments, and heroes who are not perfect and don't completely change during the drama. The both dramas are like movies but longer :)

This year lacked good sageuk, so I have big expectations for 2019 :D

That feeling when you go all "Yaaay it's here" to understanding that this year truly didn't have enough enjoyable dramas. To the point I had to leave some categories unvoted!
I was only able to vote with honesty where My Ajussi, Waikiki, Life on Mars, Red Moon Blue Sun and in some cases Mr.Sunshine was present. Didn't watch JBL, if I did it too would've probably been added to the list.
BTW, it's SOOO fun to read the captions(?) as usual!
MR>SUNSHINE: We're the only ones allowed to threaten each other!
LOL!!!

Informing @mary
Some categories didn't appear when I was using Google Chrome on my smartphone. :-)

I’m so glad “my” My Ahjussi got so much love in almost all categories.😍☺️ I would love to live MA for a day. 🙊
And I loved how this poll made me realize I have so much in common with most of Beanies. It made me feel warmth in my heart.

Most underrated: Live. Sad that this drama and everyone who worked on it didn't get much recognition.

Favourite secondary couple: Oh Yangchon and Jangmi! Love their development and rekindling of their romance. Both are amazing and deserve each other.

Best Squad: my favourite squad was in Live (not nominated).

How can lets eat 3 be excluded from the list? Would have voted for secondary couple and the world i want to live in. Cos i really want to eat with gu dae yong.

How can Live squad isnt nominated in best squad? 😭

Hmm, I never knew I like Waikiki that much until today. I voted for them in so many categories. Looking back, that drama (sitcom) was really such a hoot. I had a wonderful time watching it.

Can't believe Time wasn't listed in favourite drama of 2018 and could barely find any of the characters in the poll. I'm sad.

I guess i'm really in a drama slump bcs my choices are very limited jhgdaasfgjgfs
I can't believe the hardest choice ever was picking my fave tsundere?!?

Shows that are still currently running should not be on the year end list. If they end in 2019, that is when voting should start.

This eats are shows that are complete and will effect 2019 voting as well.

Which suffering had me glued to my screen?
That's really hard, considering I chose to only suffer this year! Almost all my dramas were melos 😂

Between: Mother, My Ahjussi, Wise Prison Life, Just Between Lovers, Live, Life on Mars, Life, Misty, 100MS...
Phew, those were a LOT of tears I tell ya.

But I chose Mother for this category, bc I've never ugly-cried so much in my entire life.

I think every year we ask for best OST or and Best Song and DB just doesn't like music.
I wish the poll also had Best Ensemble, Best Writing, Best Cinematography.

I am eternally salty that Children of Nobody/Red Moon Blue Sun is so underrated that it didn't appear in the Favourite Drama Series of 2018 category *ugly tears* ahhh well, at least I had AYHT and HMSFTS.

I feel strangely awful that some of the series here are ones I haven't been able to watch yet. I need to do better and start catching up, and I'll make sure I'm more in-tune in 2019.

This has been such a sad year for me that I can barely vote in 50% of these categories! :(

Hwayugi would have probably been my favourite if it hadn't broken my heart with the last 2 episodes. This is why I have trust issues.

Gangnam Beauty and Just Between Lovers are tied for me. Also, where is Miss Hammurabi???

My two faves were Your House Helper and Thirty but Seventeen. My taste is quirky. There is a lot of melo on these lists. Perhaps there was just a lot of melo this year? In any case, not my thing.

Dear Dramabeans, have you ever heard drama titled "Miss Hammurabi" ? I'm really really confused (and pissed off) because it wasn't appear on any of these lists. You even put Hyun Bin's character (MOA) for the favourite character nomination when the drama just aired 6 episodes. Like seriously????

Favourite mini-drama: To.Jenny

The lists are random. I wish we could type in our answers.
