I actually really like the new design features. On one hand, I understand exactly what comment 118 was saying, but I realized that my google feed of dramabeans still gives me the blurb. So for everyone worried about that, following the rss feed will fix that. :X

:) And I LOVE this nested "reply to specific comment" feature -- seriously, it's so nice being able to see what everyone is replying to without scrolling back and forth to see what the heck people are talking about! I love it!! <3

I don't like the new format and agree with others that one reason is the color. This yellow green isn't pleasant to the eye and hard to read. I loved the old format and always said to myself that this website was easy to maneuver athrough. But I guess I will have to find my way around if I want to visit here as often as I have been.

Nice! Looking good. :D

aww...I missed the old one too much...
>.<

it was a good thing I commented quickly in OT#147, when I refreshed, it was now under maintenance...

just a question, why did the currently reacpping dramas got reduced to IAL & BG??? what happened to the others?

WOW!!! I go away for the weekend, and my old friend spends the time at the salon!! Love the result. Congratulations on all the hard work involved in this new look!!

Awesome layout. I like the reply button, makes it easier to comment and to see who has commented on your post.

i thought i visited the wrong site...hahaha...but its the dramabeans new look..hay..
nice and two-thumbs up...such a refreshing new look...

It'll take some time for me to get used to the design. The new look is neat and easy to navigate, so there's no point of looking back. However, I have a few feedbacks:
-The advertisement above the header is very distracting.
- I don't see a need for 2 "dramabeans" logo on top of the page. One is written on the header, and one, I guess, serves as a link to "home page"?
-In the old layout, the "recapped series" widget (with pictures) are very neat and helpful. I used it a lot, so may I suggest moving it to the sidebar instead of putting it at the bottom of the page?

I've seen some feedback coming through so I thought I'll add a couple of minor ones... take them as you see fit.

Not sure if it's how my browser is rendering the page but the numbers in the numbering overlap past the single digit numbers.

The comments might be nicer in normal font instead of bold; they look like they're shouting at you if bold.

Great new design, I like it!

I know this is not my site but the color really reminds me of playful kiss uniform color which I think was ugly.
Sorry if my word is not so polite.
^^

absolute love! awesome jobs guys!

I was really worried that you guys had such down or something!! I'm so used to the old site, but this is different! :)

wow.. surprised by this. hmmm, i still prefer the color and the look of the old one, but this one is easier to navigate and has the reply button! so, just some getting used to and everything will be better... thanks santa, please do drop by more often!

What a surprise! When I clicked on Dramabeans yesterday I thought I've been redirected to another site. And puff I realized and its still my old kdrama news source. I like it, it's like new toy.

hmm. i love the old design better. but changes are needed right...:D

wow. i seriously thought that i was in the wrong site. congratulations dramabeans for your new look. Though the older one looks more crisp and fresh, this one looks definitely more sophisticated. Cheers!

i'm ah so happy for you!!!!

i also totally had to do a double-take at the web address to make sure i was on the right site at first.

looks amazing ladies - great job!! :)

I love the new design very nice good jobヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

Gotta get used to this :)

*Cries* I miss the old Layout.. :(
The mustard-yellowy-green colour scheme doesen't really screen KDRAMA DECON, maybe the red of Old or even a nice purple..
I, too, thought that I had misclicked onto some spammy site.. ***sighs***
Kudos for the change however, I think a few more visits (usually ATLEAST twice a day) will have me accustomed to the new *Make-Over*..
I still forever love this site!! <3

Totally awesome! Was really surprised to see a new layout, but loving it.

oh yeah, my mum noticed something . . . just thought of pointing it out.

Using IE browser we're seeing double no.s @ the comment.

But I refuse to read using Google Chrome. Cuz the rotating headers don't really rotate, if you know what I mean. But it has always been this way, even with the old layout.

So double numbers over single headers! hehe. . .

Love the new look! It's fresh, it's neat, it's pretty (I *like* the new colours). And it works. Love it. I thought the old design was getting a little tired.

I see you also got fixed the re-numbering problem for the 100-th posts that start on a new page - congrats!

NOOOOOO....!!! I love the look of your old site. Will you still feature rotating headers? i love those!

The new look is gonna take some time to get use too. I admit when I typed in the website to come here I was a little taken back at the look, i was tryin' to figure out if i typed in the address wrong cause this didn't look like the dramabeans i'm use to seeing but after readin' this article i know this is it just got a make-over.
I'll definitely gonna miss the old look cause i have grown so adapt/use to how the old one looked & worked that's why i said this will definitely take time to get use to but i'm def. not complaining.
great job to the web-designers :D

I like the old look better. Sorry, this new design appears cluttered and out of propportions. That ads on the very top of the page should be placed elsewhere, too distracting.

i thought i typed the wrong URL!

i totally loved the
CURRENTLY AIRING place it looks really useful! thx javabeans,girlfriday!

I miss the old website. The banners at the top changed everytime I refreshed the page or went onto a new one. The new banner's kind of boring. The links to the recapped series should be placed at the top, dramabeans! Otherwise those new to your site probably won't see them unless they scroll all the way down.

congrats on the new look!!

i have been a lurker on this site. i almost never feel complete if i watch a series and don't come read the recap hehe but i thought i'll write something today!

well done javabeans!!

i love the new design...great job guys :)

Awesome new 'do. :D

I thought I was on the wrong site at first :p... I'll have to get used to it! Like it though (but the change is just too sudden :D)!

I simply LOVE IT! Congrats!

Ah, wow, I love the new layout!
I loved the old one, and I get that comparison others are making to other gossip sits/allkpop etc
But I like the way the posts look when you are reading them, and I LOVE the way you can see more posts on main page (the smaller pictures and less text is worth it for this benefit in my opinion)

Haha, Go Eun Chan (damn, now I want to watch Coffee Prince)- you should have put a picture of her pretty make-over after that as well!

It seems fitting to have a new layout, ready for all the upcoming dramas that I think (hope?) someone will be recapping (based on all the news of them that is being posted)

Even if people don't like the layout- it's still the same blog so the content is all that matters!

Thank you for all the work! (And to all the talented people that helped you)

nice! at first i thought dramabeans was replaced and i am happy to see that the site has just become more attractive and stylish ...i'll miss the old but i am ready to welcome the new ;)

hmm, i think, i like the new concept, but i don't really like the background's color, also i suggest to move the ads to the bottom of the page :)

and.. the last, the logo is not so good either, so sorry..
i prefer read "dramabeans" from the random drama's image in the top of the page than from the new logo..

congrats on the new look though i prefer the old one because of its simplicity, but i know i will get used to the new one. as they say changes are good :)

OMG!!
It's awesome. I am still going to miss the old dramabeans site but this site looks fresher and easier to navigate around.

It your blog and you are entitled to change it.

I'll probably get used to the changes in no time. I particularly love this font. So much easier on my eyes. But I'll have to worry about pictures of hot men. They have become smaller and I'll have to take extra measures: "zoom in". Well, so be it. Thanks for all the hard work.

Love the new look..great work guys.

Loved the old site format, but understand the need to change.
I know the quality won't change and that's the most important thing.
Congratulations and thank you JB and GF for all you do. I can't begin to imagine the amount of time and effort you put into this site.

Very nice ^w^

yay...for the new one love it and yes this is gonna be great new websites.Keep up the good work Dramabeans!
I'm rooting for you!!!
