Not for gift but i really wanana thank orangy 911 for M2F recaps .

Thank you gummimochi!

I want to thank kaedejun and aberdeen_angus for your recaps of Prosecutor Princess. Your recaps not only got me hooked on the drama, but turned me on to the awesomeness that is Park Shi Hoo and Kim So Yeon.

A huge thank you to gummimochi for the running man recaps! Running man is one of my fav shows and i love reading the recaps as much as watching the show!

THANK YOU kaedejun FOR THE RECAPS YOU'VE POSTED ESPECIALLY HEARTSTRINGS! IN JUST BY READING AND VIEWING THOSE PHOTOS/SCENES YOU'VE POSTED IN EVERY RECAPS, YOU GAVE ALL THE DETAILS TO THE POINT THAT I DON'T NEED TO WATCH EACH EPISODES. :)

YOU DESERVE TO BE RECOGNIZED AND HONORED.

Special thanks to kaedejun for her What's Up recaps. The recaps and the comments are always a blast to read.

Also, thanks for samsooki for the KSS recaps. To think you're a guy, a lawyer, and not a Korean (?) still astounds me. Your PCB on KSS ep 6 was a nice touch.

I'd love to thank Samsooki for the awesome recaps of MNIKSS. And to hilarious Santa Claus! And to sassychef for the awesome articles! I'm looking forward for your guys' post! I'm not from US or CANADA!

I want to thank Kaedejun and Dahee Fanel for the year in review of 2011! I took a real pleasure reading you. Thanks for sharing your opinions and thoughts. When I read some of your reviews I was like “What? Are we talking about the same drama???” “What’s going through their minds?” “Where they drunk when they started the review?” LOL. And thanks to HeadsNo2 for ‘History of the Salaryman’s recaps. I wasn’t sure about that one but thanks to you I’ll definitely watch it!

Thank you kaedejun! I am probably one of the minority that agree with you about Best Love after reading your end of year review as I wasn't able to get past halfway through that series >< even though I love gong hyo jin.

Thank you samsooki for the kim sam soon recaps!

I want to thank Santa Claus for bringing us Christmas in August for his epic and hilarious recap of Episode 15 of Bad Guy.

Dramabeans,

Thank you so much for you witty reviews on all things k-drama. I love your insights and how you explain things to the readers that are not Korean. It definitely helped out a lot when it came to things that would have been lost in translation.

I enjoy reading your opinions on all the reviews you've written. I base my next drama choices on what you write and suggest for the most part. I also enjoy the humor and joking around on this site. You give it your all and we see your personality shine through.

Thanks for 5 years of awesomeness and here's to many more!

I want to thank Javabeans and Girlfriday for their AWESOME recaps on The Moon That Embraces The Sun
I LOVE THAT DRAMA THANKS TO YOUR RECAPS!!! and I've been motivated to actually watch it!!!
THANKS AGAIN :)

No drama I'm watching is complete until I also get to read the recap on dramabeans hehe (: That's why I was extra thrilled when I saw Samsooki's The City Hall recaps when I watched it for the first time last year! It has remained my favorite drama ever (sexy CSW and adorable KSA - what's not to love?!), and if I'm ever in a nostalgic mood I can get a quick recap from Samsooki! Thanks a lot!

Thank you kaedejun for the musical recaps. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your recaps. Thanks for your time and effort, I really appreciate it. I look forward to reading more of your future recaps. Kamsahamnida!! :)

HeadsNo2,
for your current posts of History of the Salaryman. With such an interesting show it says something when reading your posts right after I've watched an episode is mandatory. I love hearing your comments and its really fun to read your writing. Continue to charm us!
Thanks to pieces!!

Thanks to pieces!!

Special shout-out to HeadsNo2! Your recaps are awesome! ;)

Thank you kaedejun and aberdeen_angus!!!! You allowed me to escape in Dr. Champ mid-semester when I didn't have time to actually watch the drama itself. Park Ji Heon's puppy face/judo body was just what I needed.

I want to thank Gummimochi for recapping Running Man!!
I GOT OBSESSED WITH THE SHOW THANKS TO YOU :)
*Canada Residents

Thank you everyone for your lovely recaps!! They're so fun to read!! :D

Thank you Kaedejun!

Lol, I haven't read much recaps lately but as far as I remembered I read The Musical and Prosecutor Princess and you were the recapper!

I know recapping takes dedication so keep on doing a great job!

:)

Thanks so much to kaedejun!! I loved your IRIS and ATHENA recaps so much! I honestly couldn't make it all the way through ATHENA, but your recaps were awesome, and I loved being able to spazz with someone over the shows, but still have someone who will give it to you straight. I also want to thank Thundie, whose year-end reviews I always looked forward to, and I hope that she'll be back in the blogging world soon.

*Will be moving from U.S. very soon...

I'd like to thank Dahee Fanel for giving us that really different point of view in k-dramas. I understand that Dahee's got an unusual "taste" compared to most of us but I really appreciate the straightforward reviews! :D

Dear Santa Claus,

Thank you so much for entertaining me with your hilarious end of the year review. I really enjoyed your present, however not drunk you might have been at that time. Please do come back next year (I'll keep some alcohol waiting).

Thank you. :)

On a more serious note, thank you kaedejun so much for your Romance Town recaps! It was nice knowing that there was someone else following that cute little show with me, and they were especially helpful in giving me a heads up to skip all those annoying money machinations.

And of course, I really LOVED everyone's year end reviews, especially since they provided such a wide range of perspectives. When I sometimes didn't agree with javabeans & girlfriday's assessments of dramas, it was nice to know that there were other people whom agreed with me (making me feel less lonely). Thank you everyone!

I'd like to thank Samsooki for his brilliant recaps on My Name is Kim Sam Soon.

I found his recaps one day on dramabeans and ever since I reread them every now and then to relive the awesomeness that was My Name is Kim Sam Soon.

It is then worth mentioning that MNIKSS is my first ever Korean drama. It was hilarious and moving and silly and poignant at the same time. Then I wanted more. So I plunged willingly into the waters of the Korean drama world. It was a turbulent yet fascinating world where birth secrets, incest, fake-cest, cancer patients, authoritative parents, arrogant chaebols were the norm. Dude. I had never really seen anything like it. So there you have it, MNIKSS holds a special place in my heart, for being THE drama that pulled me into the K-drama world.

So I was elated when I found Samsooki's MNIKSS recaps on dramabeans, 6 years after the drama has aired. And he didn't disappoint. Why?

Samsooki writes in a way that distances the reader from the drama, which allows us to poke fun at it even if we love the drama so very much. In a sense he helps us to let go a little of that defensiveness we feel when someone criticises our faviourite drama, and lets us see the drama in a more objective lens. We love, but not blindly. Anymore. *v*

At the same time he writes earnestly, highlighting the poignant scenes and inserting a few of his thoughtful opinions here and there.

AND he is HI-LARIOUS. 5 stars for the puns, innuendos, jokes and snarky/witty authorial-intrusions.

So thank you Samsooki for helping me to relive the good old days! Love the nostalgia. ;)

Hi HeadsNo2,

I truly appreciate the recap of this drama. I was hesitant at first, (I couldn’t decide if I was intrigued or discouraged by the synopsis given online) to start watching, but you’ve spurned me on to great drama heights with Wild Romance!
I have currently just started watching and am extremely glad that I did. It is brilliantly funny, in the the context of school yard shenanigans that reminds me of days from long ago. It also has introduced me to an adorable and Hot! newcomer (from what I understand), Dong Ho Kang! He is perfect in this role, which really shows off the potential for more in future dramas or films. Here’s hoping we seem him in some lead roles! ;)
I literally have been laughing my socks off and slapping my computer (as though it’s an old friend enjoying the shows humor with me. My computer is new to my wild and crazy Kdrama addiction, haha). It has that old world charm of slap stick comedy which truly appeals to me. It has been great to take a break from the ‘drama’ of Kdramas and enjoy some laugh-out-loud moments. Sometimes these shows can suck the life right out of your soul, they do have a way of enrapturing your inner most desires, haha!
Thanks again for all of your hard work in recapping the first episode. Sometimes I prefer these to a whole series recap, because I have a tendency of missing the drama to read the enjoyable work everyone puts into their writing here at Dramabeans. Many thanks for past, present, and future pieces of work! :)

Yours,
ChambersofMusic

Thank you only1tony for your movie recaps!!! I want to be introduced to the movie realm too since Im totally into the dramas already :)

Thank javabeans for recapping Flower Boy Ramyun Shop!!

thanks to gummimochi for your Running Man recaps:) javabean and everyone that writes on dramabean .. ;)

I'd like to thank gummimochi for recapping the shows I really want to watch but can't right now cause of too many schoolwork piling up. I always look forward to your recaps. I hope to read more of your work in the future! :D

Thank you cassie.opeia and red pill for making me watch the delightful drama that Sungkyunkwan Scandal was. Even though the show was a bit of a let down towards the end, your recaps were the exact opposite to say at least. Your sense of humour and incredible writing skills and short letters to fictional characters at the beginning of the recaps( I'm talking to you, red pill) made me fall in love with a show I'd never thought I'd watch. You had pretty great material to work with in that drama (not to mention the cast, because that exceeds the definition of pretty, but that's another story...) and you managed to make it in my best - written recaps here at dramabeans. It was quite a ride patiently waiting for your recaps every week, enjoying the (sometimes) different ways you presented the show from one episode to the other, but it was so worth it!

P.S. I am not a resident of US/Canada
P.P.S. I miss the two of you!

I'd like to thank Kaedejun, with her I enjoyed reading about Heartstrings & The Musical (yes xD)
and now I really enjoy reading her blog =)

I am not a resident of US/Canada (sadly xD)

congrats to the winners! yay!

i want to thank all the guest bloggers, past and present!

i am currently watching 'what's up' and enjoy reading kaedejun's recaps! thx kaedejun!

because of gummimochi's recap of 'running man, ep 76' i went looking for the show and watched it. it was great! thx gummimochi!

also, altho i am not watching 'history of a salaryman' yet, i am reading HeadsNo2's recaps. thx HeadsNo2!

keep up the excellent work, everyone!

cheers!

Thank you HeadsNo2 for the recaps of HOTS (history of the salaryman). I'm really enjoying this wacky show from your writing.

I would like to thank girlfriday!
I absolutely LAHVE your writing style! I remember being addicted to Secret Garden early last year and by Episode 14, I couldn't take it anymore, and I had to read a summary or something so that I would be able to fall asleep and not think about it! Episode 14 was my absolutely favorite. The scene with Joowon and Raim at the ball and their kiss. That scene was my favorite moment in the entire series! The chemistry! The love! The crazy happiness I felt! I read your recap before I watched the episode, since it was like at 2am, and it portrayed everything so realistically. Usually, reading other recaps, it's just a spoiler and ruins the episode for me so that I don't want to watch it anymore. But yours kind of made it better for me. While watching it, your recap and the knowledge that I got from reading it didn't hinder my watching or affect my experience or anything like that. Since that day, Dramabeans has been bookmarked onto my toolbar, where I have super easy access to read recaps from the dramas I love from awesome authors like you and the rest of the Dramabeans cast. THANKS!!!!!!!!!

T.T NUUU, CURSE SCHOOL, I'VE MISSED THIS D: It's been too long, I've been deprived, and now I'm stalking Dramabeans again, haha. Oooh, oooh! Happy New Year (almost)!

And I would like to thank kaedejun for recapping all of my favorite dramas of 2011 and 2012 (at least, so far for 2012, lol)! :D <3 Like, without those recaps of You've Fallen For Me, Romance Town, and What's Up, I would have never known how they would've ended, or how they've been going. School never gives me time to actually sit down and watch hour-long episodes, so your recaps save my deprivation of kdrama! Especially You've Fallen For Me, ohmigawdddd, you like, saved my LIFE, lol. Thank you so much for guest recapping! And I hope you continue!

I would like to thank Javabeans and Girlfriday for recapping The Moon That Embraced The Sun
I can't read any recaps of this drama other than yours!! Thank you for your hard work!!!! <3

To kaedejun, thank you for writing those IRIS recaps, they were pretty awesome. I really enjoyed hearing/reading your thoughts on the drama.
