Dramabeans gets fancy new duds
by girlfriday
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.

Thank you JB and GF for the lovely new look. I really appreciate the time and efforts you put into this. Loving the nested comments. However just a feedback: Whenever I go to the next page in the comments, the whole article has to be refreshed, which makes it inconvenient because the Song of the Day has to be interrupted and reloaded. Is it possible to make it so we can load new comments without having to reload the whole page?

Came back for a 2nd look...btw it's a great way to do a headcount...hahaha...recognised so many names from viikii....that was so funny.
Okay,I liked the drop down bar for to look for a certain article.Was it there before? I was a bit dizzy but finally found your banmal article after going through 136 articles!!
Like you I miss the big photos layout.Someone a gadzillion post ago said it attracted one to browse articles one might not be interested in.I must admit I have read javabeans and girlfridays 1st paragraph on recaps and it made me interested enough to try it out.Now...I don't know if I would be bothered to open every link.
It's always good to have a new look.I still hate the mustard yellow colours everywhere....is it too late to change?Why that colour?

Hey! I'm a super anti change oldie lover, but I somewhat dig the new look! It'll take some time getting used to it, but while I loved the simplicity of the old one, I suppose it's time to move on and accept that life's made of changes :P
Since I always read the articles using the RSS feed, I have no issues with the mini-images/text front page ^^
Cheers!

Great work even though I really miss the old look. Will take some time to get use to.
This new look is more professional and friendlier. Now can get to see 8 articles instead of the 5 (I think) and before have to keep on scrolling down and pressing previous to find what I want or miss.
The orange heading and dark mustard color will be changed daily or on rotation rite? :-)

appreciate the effort made to improve the blog.
but prefer the old design, with the recaps/etc in the middle. there was a more balanced look to the page. the yellow/gold bars for headers are also a little hard on the eyes.
oh well, the only constant is change, so i must adjust. :)

A little aside but when i opened up the site just now, I thought I was at the wrong site XD
And then I saw the header and thought, no wait, this IS dramabeans!

on second look, bring back the old one!!! i feel like dramabeans is wearing a mask or something... like it's not itself anymore. it's like major cosmetic surgery..

I don't know how I feel about this. I hope you don't make it too allkpop. I have always liked DB because it was more about substance than style.

The new site looks great!! But I have one question,
does the header still rotate or will remain the same?
I went two different pages and couldn't help but
notice that the header remained the same! :/

i prefer the old one. I do like changes but just not into this one. Reminds of the old-season pages i used to read over the net. I feel like im reading a classic. I do love this site but i really feel sad for the older layout, good riddance anyways.
how about redesigning after a week? keke

You guys put so much work into this but I have to admit that I miss the authentic old look because the old skin made me feel more intimate with the blogger. This feels commercial and impersonal.

Thanks for your new design. I totally love it 100%. I think it is very good organised & nice appearance. In the old one it was hard for me to search the old news as well as some recap dramas

Agree, about time to change. Well organized, like the color theme.
Strange is that the old one attracts me more to read and get involved....for now. May be over time, things will be back to normal.
Thanks...it likes moving from suburb to downtown. May be it is Christmas in here after all, Santa visited and everyone get this new goodies.
