Dramabeans gets fancy new duds

Hey, check out the fancy new threads we’re sporting! Every kdrama Cinderella gets a shiny new makeover, and dramabeans was feeling left out. So we took her for a spin at the website-makeover spa and salon, and this is how she came out!

We worked really hard on this redesign (as in, directed people much more talented than us), and hope you love it as much as we do! Consider it an early Christmas gift. We hear Santa’s been ’round these parts lately.

Take a leisurely tour and reacquaint yourself with where things are, and thanks for your patience during the switchover!

A moment of silence, and one last look at dramabeans’ old outfit. We wore you to prom, to midnight shows of cult classics, and through many breakups. Fare thee well, old friend.

It is looking fresh and nice! I also like that it "saves" your name and email so we don't have to keep typing them in. But I'm just lazy. I'm liking this new layout mainly because there is more color. ☻

yeah, me too, feels like i'm in the lost world but quickly recovered that i'm still in the kdrama thread...its just that like a snake shredding off its old skin to let off a new one...something like a reborn...wow its really great this new look and thanks again for being there for us - non-korean-speaking followers. MOre power to JB and GF!

what a bittersweet moment. i'm loving the new layout but the old layout was like what i always associated dramabeans with. i think it'll take some time to get used to the new layout but i'm sure the readers will all make the transition just fine. hahahaha. dramabeans = <3

I already commented earlier that I like the new look, but I will agree with others here that the mustard yellow/green color is not so pleasing to the eyes. However, the sunny yellow/orange color that "dramabeans" is written in up top is beautiful. So, if you're looking for constructive criticism :P, I'd change the mustard color to something else that complements the gray and yellow/orange. Otherwise, the changes look great!

Eh, the new design is sort of disappointing... I rather liked the former wide, easy to read, clean look. I really hope you'll consider converting back, because this because the old one was heaps betters, sorry to say.

I miss the thumbnails of current dramas, but I like this new sleek model. When I saw the yellow I thought of bumblebee in Tranformers when he became the pretty camero. Nice look, took me by surprise for sure though.

What's funny is that allkpop just changed their layout too, and it kind of looks like the old dramabeans version, with the huge picture on the general page. And dramabeans is now looking like the old allkpop version.

About time you guys got a makeover - it looks great, congrats!

I'll miss the old look because I'm so used to it, but this is all shiny and pretty so I'm sure I'll learn to love it.

When i went to dramabeans.com, and saw not the old look, I retyped in the address bar and hit enter again.

Oh no--- I prefer the old one better because it is more spacious (probably because of the white background) and thus easy to read. The text before the cut was also longer (as previously mentioned).

Plus, this one looks like other blogs which I also frequent, making the design not so fresh at all. The important icons are placed down making them less functional (oh lazy us blaming it on the layout hihihi).

Props for your efforts though and wanting to give your followers a pleasant surprise. It may not work for others (like me) but we will all get used to this and probably appreciate it more later.

Regardless of the layout, I'll still love dramabeans.com. After all, the content and your writings are what we are really after for :P

i'd suggest adding another "recent post" box under the side navigation. it's easier to navigate without having to go back the pages.

I really miss the big pictures. *big baby* lol

The three headers (ad, blog header and dramabeans header) clash quite a bit, I must say.

I wondered for a moment if I was at the right website and checked the spelling of dramabeans.

Yes Santa has been very generous this year because of all of your hard work ladies [it's not like you don't work very hard every year]. It was well deserved [and about time that Santa listened to your wishes].

I love the way that everything is categorized. There is some major OCD action going on, but I lurves it.

i miss the old one! but i guess change is hard..
but srsly tho... allkpop makeover? anyone? and that's when i stopped reading allkpop..

bc it stopped being about the content, and started being abt blip articles and tabloidy uselessness

the old layout reminded me of prose
this layout makes me think the content is easy breesy

and i'm not a fan of the size of the font or the font really :[
sorries

even tho i'm being critical, i don't hate it.. it's just makes me feel the site is going in a new direction... it does make things feel lighter and more accessible but also less weighty and important

Would you feel at all better about it if I pinky-swore up and down (and thumb-stamped for approval!) that I hate filler articles, that I've always vowed never to post up anything just to add to post count, and that I'll never get over my aversion to pointless filler?

'Cause, really. I don't know about the other sites, but the stuff here's gonna be the same.

Yeah I stopped going to allkpop coz of that also. I feel like allkpop looks more like People, USWeekly rather than TIME, The New Yorker (metaphorically speaking), allkpop layout is too flashy, in my opinion

I know change is hard, but rest assured that this change is just on the outside--JB and I did not get lobotomies, and we are in NO way changing the content of the site.

I know it's hard to recognize us with the new outfit, but it's still us!
