Woot!^^ It's that time of the year again!^^ Heehee!^^ Thanks so much JB and GF for all the awesome writing and podcasts throughout the entire 2011. You guys rock and my days won't be complete without you.

Voting was hard but really enjoyable, except for a few categories (which I skipped out):
1.) Best Bromance - Can You Hear My Heart's Bong Maru (Jang Junha) and Cha Dong Joo own this category. Their bromance wasn't just implied. They were for real. They slept together, drank together, fought, made up, and didn't let parentage or girl problems get in the way of their bromance. Every character in the drama knows that the person Cha Dong Joo likes the most is Bong Maru. He even said he was the middle point of their love triangle.=3 Who else can top that?!
2) Best Piggyback - None of the other options actually did it for me this year; maybe Maru and Woori (CYHMH) when Woori was passed out? Most heartbreaking piggyback ever. TT_____TT
3) Most Disappointing Drama - Man of Honor. You keep waiting and waiting for it to get better but nothing's happening.=(
4) Underrated Drama - Can You Hear My Heart. When the bromance of all bromances isn't even mentioned and the lead characters names aren't noted in the lead pairing category, you know this drama flew WAY under the radar.

Yeah. I didn't even want to watch CYHMH and I'm now currently engrossed in TWDR, MOH, ATDP, and FBRS. But still, this drama shouldn't be left in the dust. Hopefully, it'll get its merits in the year end reviews. Can't wait for that.

In the end though, FBRS and Princess Man hwaiting!^^ oh and Shitty Hunter too!^^ As much as I loved it, it was still kinda really flawed!^^

Best in 2011: City Hunter (and Best Ever on my list - sorry Hong Sisters!)

Runner-ups: Best Love, Dream High, Protect the Boss, Vampire Prosecutor, Flower Boy Ramyun Shop

Haven't gotten around to watching any sageuks yet, hopefully before the year ends...

Worst: Lie To Me

3. Best of Love
4. 49 Days
5. Protect the Boss

Looking forward to read "Year in Review" post.

JAEJOONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me the best kdrama 2011 is the princess man.everything is so wonderful from the story line the ending,the chemistry,ost,the cast,the kiss scene,crying scene,and the beautiful smile from two main lead seungyu and seryung oh my god until now I cant forget it.and right now tpm is in 2nd place behind secret garden in the best kdrama 2011 voting. Tpm fighting.......

Im

Telling

you ..

Not

Other

Than

Flower BOY RAMYUN SHOP

Should get an award ..

the drama is DEBAK !

I LOVE IT SO FREAKING MUCHHHHHH

Wow, I'm sitting here wondering what people are thinking. Most of my votes are WAY off the radar. I guess that comes from me staying away from Melos, Seaguks, and Thrillers. I'm pretty much a strictly rom-com girl.

And still not a lot of love for Protect the Boss. Startling. Still hands down my favorite of the year despite it going down hill a bit toward the end... don't they all.

I would have loved to see "Best/Worst Male/Female Second Lead" categories because I think there were some really awesome/hateful ones this year. I would have loved to see some love for NaYoon of Protect the Boss (especially after all the hate she got for her InHeeBot portrayal) and the Professor from My Princess (hello, hot Korean Indiana Jones!) among others.

Anyway, can't wait for the reviews. Please show some love to PTB!

it was hard to choose but I did it lol
For me the best kiss was ramyun shop though I agree that the me too flower one was pretty hot too but i prefer the ramyun shop one keke

i was disappoint with Poseidon (is they want to put romance in the drama, why just in the last eps),

- YOU'VE FALLEN FOR ME, i just stop see the drama, the other characters of the drama were more fun and interesting than the main characters.

I din't like city hunter...

and Dream High shouldn't be on the list of best kiss...

I saw many dramas this year....

Me too Flower a good drama..i really like! should be in the best kisses

This was fun even though half of the list I didn't have time to watch.

I love this period of the year when dramabeans has the voting page XD ! It's so much fun (not to say detailed).
I tried not to include Ramyun Shop since it's relatively new and most people are still hyping over it.

The most wasted actors was really hard -_-

I really have no idea what my favorite drama of the year was - nothing was super incredible for me. I loved various ones at the various times they aired for different reasons. I think catching up on the 2010 and earlier dramas that I didn't have time to watch - kinda killed my excitement for this year's dramas.

I enjoy (in no particular order):
1) Lie to Me
2) The Princess Man
3) My Princess
4) 49 Days
5) Protect the Boss
6) FBRS

I have been really into catching up on sagueks after I caught up on some wu xia & chinese period dramas. Mostly pre-2011, the only one that was 2011 was TPM.

Hello everyone! I don't wanna sound bitter, but for your who think City Hunter is the best drama, best couple, best action drama and etc of the year, did you the others dramas too or just watched City Hunter and FBRS? Did you watched tree with deep roots? That is a awesome action drama...

Did you watch others drama that are there? Like Princess' man? The two OTP from PM beats City Hunter's OTP...

I sometimes find unfair when you watch only City hunter and don't give a try in the others dramas and say City Hunter is amazing... without knowing or watching the others dramas....

I wonder, would you love City hunter so much if the lead wasn't the hot Lee Min Ho? If it was a sexy ahjusshi would you cared about it? Would you watch it? I don't think so... the same for FBRS.

The true is all about the eye candy, if didn't had the eye candy you wouldn't think the drama was that amazing, because look, Tree with deep roots is awesome but almost everyone were don't care, okay maybe because it is a historical drama, but look for example best love - because the lead isn't a hot and cute guy but a sexy ahjusshi you aren't all crazy voting for it like YAB had that year or My girlfriend is a gumiho.....

It's sad... :(

I think my favorite lead couple goes to moon chaewon and park sihoo.their chemistry is sooooo amazing.the way their look at each other eyes just make my heart jumping and every momment they holding hands make me dying.in the kissing scene im droooooling hard just like waterfall hahaha...... Wow...how sweet

I COULD NOT BELIEVE TREE WITH DEEP ROOTS IS LOSING TO DREAM HIGH FOR BEST DRAMA. WTFFFFFFFFFFF PEOPLE.

My favorite series City Hunter Couple Yoon Sung Kim NaNA

FAVORITE LEAD ROMANTIC PAIRING Yoon Sung Kim Na Na

BEST KISS City Hunter

OMGGG I can't believe it's the end of year reviews already! Last year I couldn't wait for reviews to come because, I couldn't wait for the year to end. Had pretty much nothing to do. This year, I had more to do, time flew past me and even though I didn't watch much drama this year, I voted. Haha heard enough to make a good decision, I guess... Although the underrated ones will always be underrated...

Who was your favorite drama character?

My picks:

-Dong Joo (Can you hear My heart?), caring, sweet, don't want to see anyone hurt and is understanding.

- Bong Young Kyu (Can you hear my heart?)- Best father of 2011, beautiful heart, gentle, sweet and his love for his son had no bounds.

- Se Ryung (the princess' man): she fought for what she believed, she fought for her morals and love, is bold, is faithful ... for me the best female lead of 2011.

-Jong (Princess' man): best husband ever ! Sweet, caring, reliable, faithful... who couldn't love Jong?

-Lee Do (Tree with deep roots): what a amazing king! So smart! So understanding! So strong yet vulnerable, loves his people :)

That is it. My fav characters.

Since had none of them in the poll, I voted for cute and innocent Song Sam-dong.

I think my favorite lead couple goes to moon chaewon and park sihoo.their chemistry is sooooo amazing, the way they look at each other eyes just make my heart jumping.and every momment they holding hands make me dying in the kissing scene im droooooling hard just like waterfall hahaha...wow how sweet and delicious his lips is.such a good kisser.first step soft kiss for the head, her eyes, her cheeck and finally her beautiful lips three times in same episode.the most touching scene is the momment his kissing of her arrow wound on her bare back and his lips touching her bare scene was sooooo hoooooooot.its about for hundred times I watching another kiss scenes from the movie or drama.but the feeling I get from tpm is sooooo different maybe because of the hard times i had for watching their sad love story.im crying so hard until my eyes out but the ending makes me happy.tpm is just a sageuk drama but the story line and the romance is better more than thos modern drama these day how do you think ....are you agree with me.

Ohhhhhh man! How could I possibly pick a favorite character or romantic couple? I sucked it up and did it anyway, but ~*O THE ANGST*~

- Best Kiss: The Princess' Man *WIPE THE DUST YO!*
- Best Cameo: Kang Chul Shim Jang, anyone?
- Best Use of Idol Star: UEE in Ojakkyo Brothers
- Mane of Glory: Kim Seung Yoo!!!!!!! But wait, I vote for Song Sam Dong, kke

Looking forward for your end year's review! ^^

IT....>WAS......SO.....DAMN.....HARD.....TO VOTE!!!!

after I done watching tpm I dont really interesting with another drama, until now I still keep tpm in my mind and I m watching it again and again so many times. but my tear cant stop falling uh....whats wrong with me, but in tpm the story its not just about love, but is complite inside u can find about shin myun who betrayed his best friends seungyoo and jong because of the women his love, about suyang who hungry with the throne to became a king, a realitionship between father and daughter, politics, revenge, karma and sooooo many more.so tpm is the best drama in 2011 and soon tpm will be airing in 10 country in asia so I wish they like it and become tpm lovers just like me and im sure that's will come true because tpm is daebak.

There wasn't enough jason/pilsook (iu/wooyoung) stuff

2011 was a good year and you guys made it even better by providing all the recaps and the latest gossips/news!! Looking forward to 2012!!!

can't believe Nana was nominated for Best Character but not Yeon Jae!!!!Her character in Scent of a Woman was inspiring!

Wait a minute...Sign an overrated drama? I hardly heard anything about it. It was amazing!

THE MUSICAL, the most disappointing one?!?!? Who wrote this?!? who decided for it?!?!? YOU JAVABEANS AND YOU!!!!!!!!!! try not to post this comment, and I will curse you!

THE MUSICAL is the most EXCELLENT DRAMA I have ever watched!..

Your blog only gets visitor every time there is an article about GOO HYE SUN!

I think for crying scene the winner is Moon Chaewon of course, every times shes crying in tpm I cant hold my tears and just following her sadness wow Such a greates acting from her in melodrama and i cant forget the best of her crying scene in brilliant legacy/si in the rooftop, shes beg her evil mom not to jump and commite suicide leave her alone in this world after she lost hwan.I know that's her character in bl is evil but I cant stop my self to loving her and now she is my favorite actress and im so happy that's her popularity in korea is not joke after her movie and drama tpm making a big sucsess in her carrier and bring her as top actress this year and received so many award.moonie....fighting

Hello everyone! Hmm, I have an observation. Everytime javebeans posts an article like this, it's very unfair. I think this voting poll is nonsense. WHY? It's because the dramas and the actors are just sooo great and javabeans includes it on the 'not-so-good category'. In my own opinion, there's favoritism that is happening here. I'm sorry, but I just can't take it. I can't tolerate this unfair thingy here. I hope this will not happen again.

yay! had my count!!! can i do more than once a day??

That was fun but Im obviously not with the popular crowd. TREE WITH DEEP ROOTS by far is the best drama this year! I've enjoyed many this year But TWDR just is so so good. JANG HYUK should consider that role he dropped earlier. I would like to see how he would portray that one...

LOL, I should have voted for "Kim Bum: fairy princess mane of glory". I love that you call it that, because it totally is!!

This makes me realize how out of touch I've been with dramas this year. Of all the shows listed I've watched only one in its entirety, and parts of maybe two others. So sad!! I couldn't even vote!
I've got to see Best Love, City Hunter and The Princess's Man if nothing else. And what's this about Kim Tae Hee in My Princess loving porn?! O_o

Mmm, Park Si Hoo mane of glory yum~! "The Princess' Man" did it all for me this year. ;D Can't wait for the year-end reviews!

my choices (just because I'm weird):

fave drama:
-chose: Dream High, Flower Boy Ramyeon Shop, & Princess's Man

fave comedy:
-chose: Dream High ('coz I got addicted with the associated crack)

-alternatives: Scheduler, Kim Seung-yoo, Chi-soo (of the many surnames), Kang-hyeok (of JB's many monickers), Dokko Jin, Dr. Chae "Poopy" Eun-seok, Ba-wool (and his adorable Teddy girlfriend), & maybe Lee Sang-woo ('coz he's my mother's favorite)

fave villain:
-chose: Suyang Daegun Sejo (and don't forget his Han Myeong-hwoe)

fave bromance:
-chose: Ba-wool & Hyeon-woo: Crazy Chicken & Mother Hen (since I love them now; the unfinished scarf scene was daebak)
-alternatives: Dream High (both Sam-dong=Jin-gook & Yang Jin-man=Kang ssaem) & Poseidon (because I weirdly ship Choi Siwon & Jung Yunho, I dunno)

-chose: Dream High
-alternative: Flower Boy Ramyeon Shop.

most noteworthy debut:

-alternatives: Scent of a Woman, You've Fallen For Me, Romance Town, & considering Lie To Me (since JB decided on an open thread instead of the usual recap) & Paradise Ranch (just because it has Shim Changmin with his "bitch face" (accdg. to my online soulmate))

most overrated drama: none...because I can't think of any...

most underrated drama:
-chose: Me Too Flower
-alternatives: Birdie Buddie (but I think it's just because of UEE), You've Fallen For Me, & Can't Lose (because I think I lost the hang of it past episode, um, 5, I think???)

most wasted talent:
-chose: Eric Moon
-alternative: Choi Siwon

best use of idol star:
-chose: Jang Wooyoung (for me, his debut was the best)
-alternatives: Bae Suzy (not bad for her debut also), IU (just because I'm a Milky Couple shipper), & Kim Jaejoong (even though I haven't watched the drama)

worst use of idol star:
-chose: Lee Kikwang (too few scenes of him, and always the same noona-chasing character)
-alternatives: Choi Siwon, Jung Yunho, & UEE

glorious mane of glory:
-chose: Kim Soo-hyun
-alternative: Park Shi-hoo (Kim Bum didn't even make it, because I don't like his new look)

so hard to choose the bromance! love them all! :) that shld b the daesung award. ha.

This poll is just so biased..you know what javabean/dramabean eversince we know you don't like GHS but at least you should be matured enough when putting up this poll..if you don't like THE MUSICAL then don't just put it in any category ..why put it under the most disappointing when i guessed you haven't even watch it or read the recaps which have good reviews on it..if you had placed it under the most disappointing and under the most underrated you could have also put it under your most favorite drama..or your favorite lead couple or your favorite alternate couple..because this would be the opinion of their fans..why? were you worried that if you included THE MUSICAL under this category it will win over your so called favorite dramas..well im sorry i forgot this is your blog and i forgot you know in your heart that if only GHS doesn't have that many fan that come and read here you won't even mention her name it is just unlucky for your she is just so popular..And THANK YOU for giving me the chance to post in here..

funniest nrb scene was legit the hardest one for me to choose! i love cha seung won as g-dgragon and yoon kye sang reliving his g.o.d days ahhh. best category if you ask me. hahaa

What was your favorite drama of 2011? (Choose up to 3.)

--> WHERE is YOU'VE FALLEN FOR ME/HEARTSTRINGS??? >,<

Who was your favorite lead couple?

--> YOU'VE FALLEN FOR ME/HEARTSTRINGS Dooley Couple (Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa), where did it go?

I so love Heartstrings! >,< Too bad it's not in the poll

Best Love was my bias! <3 I can't explain why but I itch to watch at least one episode over and time again. Crazy, I know! xd
Dokgo Jin's noraebang scene - hands down the ultimate winner.
There were also some good dramas ( at least those that i've already watched) like Scent of a Woman, City Hunter, 49 days and The Princess' Man. But I've got to say, this year Best Love had me on LDS as in Last Drama Syndrome. yay!!!
