Dear samsooki
Thank you so much for introducing me to "My Lovely Kim Sam Soon". I loved your recaps and insightful commentary. I became so enamored with this drama that I bought the cd and video, so I could see it over and over again. I still reread your recaps or parts of them at least once a week, just to relive some of those special moments in sam soon. I hope that you will return to Dramabeans again soon with another drama recap.

It is not possible to thank just one or two - but thanks so much to all of you who take the time to help us who do not speak Korean to be able to enjoy and understand all the great (and sometimes not so great) dramas!! So each of you are personally thanked for all you do.

Oooh, a possible prize for something I've wanted to do for sometime now. Thank you

*DAHEE_FANEL: I think it was your Iljimae review that redirected me to this site (and yours). For that, I am eternally grateful.
*THUNDIE: your Year End reviews were my favorite, because we sorta had the same taste in dramas, and your reviews always gave me a good laugh because they seemed to be reading my mind. Please come back to blogging soon.
*SAMSOOKI: your City Hall recaps were EPIC. and then you followed it with Sam Soon sometime later. Quit spoiling us.
*CASSIO_PEIA & RED PILL: I seriously enjoyed those SKKS recaps. I still read them from time to time when I need a pick-me-up after a bad day.
*KAEDEJUN: I feel like you don't get enough credit on this site, considering you recap A LOT of dramas. So, thank you! You're doing an awesome job!
*HEADS NO. 2: I never watched TWDR but I've never missed a single one of your recaps. I'm actually watching Salaryman now and I feel like our recaps are a nice bonus. I think I might go back to watch TWDR one day.

Of course: Javabeans and Girlfriday, my crack dealers: All my love and gratitude forever. :)

Thank you thunderbolt or thundie! For that insanely brilliant (or brilliantly insane) 3-in-1 drama mixed-up mashup recap.

Thank you Samsooki for your hard work!!!

I loved reading the intelligent and witty recaps of City Hall by samsooki. If it weren't for him, I would've missed out on one of my favorite dramas of all time. Thank you!!

Thanks HeadsNo2 so much for recapping tree with deep roots. You definitely made it more understanding for me to watch! I couldn't have thanked you more. I really appreciate your recaps :D Keep recapping!

Thank you samsooki for recapping my lovely kim sam soon. because i have bandwidth problems, i really wanted to watch the drama. but thank to you, i didn't have to miss out the fun!

I want to thank Kaedejun for all of her hard work doing so many recaps! You've recapped several dramas that I've been interested in (and/or watching) that weren't covered by the javabeans/girlfriday duo and for that I am eternally grateful! I love your humor and your wit and your enthusiasm (plus, that you understand the value of a healthy dose of squeeing, which is absolutely necessary to a good recap). What's Up, The Musical, Prosecutor Princess (one of my favorite dramas of all time!) -- you've offered us so many goodies!Thanks! Truly Thanks!

It was Samsooki's recap of City Hall that brought me here. For that I will be forever greatful because it opened me to the world of blogs and recaps. Now I'm hooked, lined and sinkered for good. Every guest bloggers here are awesome, I love the wit and snide comments. Special thanks to orangy911, gummimochi and thunderbolt. Love love love dramabeans!

Oooh this is a tricky one but i'm going to say thanks to gummimochi for the wonderful running man recaps as well as the high kick 3 recaps alongside javabeans <3 All of the guest bloggers here are wonderful though, giving me so much to absorb and take away from dramas that may or may not be as good by themselves :)

That javabeans playlist sounds wonderful haha, congrats on the winners, LONG LIVE DRAMABEANS feeding my addiction..like cocaine... haha

*not from the US/canada

I would like to thank Thunderbolt. Without your 2010 end of year review, Thundie, I might not have given Jejoongwon a go. That drama has been stuck in my head since I watched it this last summer. So, thanks!

(and a big thanks to all the other guests, too!)

A big thank you to all guest blogger! but Special thanks to gummimochi for Running Man recaps. my fav variety show ever!

Love reading your recaps after watching every episode.

*not a US/Canada resident

Dearest Samsooki,

Can I just say I'm a big fan of yours? I'm sad that you've been away from us for quite some time - before your awesome return with recaps in 2011 for My Name is Kim Sam-soon - but also happy because this means you've been keeping busy with baby Samsooki and Mrs Samsooki and being a big shot lawyer - at least I hope so. I first came across your DB recaps with City Hall and immediately fell in love with your writing. I also love to read what you have contributed over the years with your understanding of the legal system in Korea vs the US, and the awesome mind opening discussion you had with jb and Sere on 200 Pound Beauty. I especially loved siding with you on the whole My Lovely Patzzi heated debates that went on around here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and thank you for helping keep my Kim Sunah crush alive.

Love Love Love,

Your Biggest Stan
Ani

First of all, thank you to all who blog and recap on this awesome site!

I want to mention Sevenses in particular, because I really enjoyed the 'witterings' of 2008 dramas post. I had not seen any of the dramas mentioned and thought that it was quite a cute but brief little summary of the dramas and pointed out both their strong and weak points. Thank you for your review!

i want to give my thanks to everyone. i really mean it. samsooki, thundie kaedejun, girlfriday, javabean, everyone!!! i loved reading the recaps, listening to your funny comments, and actually taking the time of your lives to recap an episode after another. in fact i understood the plot a lot better once reading the summary then watching the drama! thanks a lot again!!

To gummimochi,
I really like that you're recapping Running Man on Dramabeans. I love reading them when I'm feeling down. Thank you <3

Thanks HeadsNo2 for writing the awesome Ep1 Recap of Padam Padam and then checking back in with yet another great half-time report!

Thank you Santa Claus for always making me laugh and smile all at once. I always look forward to your awesome recaps!!! :)

Thanks so much to HeadsNo2 to the Tree With Deep Roots recaps, they cleared up some of the confusion I had when I watched the episode for the first time!
And another shoutout to Santa Claus for that Bad Guy recap a while ago, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at 10 lines, ever.

Thank you samsooki for revisiting Kim Sam Soon on DramaBeans! It made me very nostalgic as I remembered all the great moments in that drama through your recaps. I hope DramaBeans will bring back some more oldies-but-goodies and look forward to seeing more from you.

And in general: Thank you to all the guest bloggers! As much as I love reading JB's and GF's comments, it's always nice to get another opinion and hear another voice.

thank you gummimochi for your hard work and dedication in beautifully recapping High Kick through the Roof!!! You're awesome!! :)

I want to thank kaedejun and aberdeen_angus for recapping Dr. Champ. You guys were the ones that introduced me to the drama, and it stands to be one of my favorites to this day :) Your recaps convinced me to give it a chance, and I owe my love for Jung Gyu Woon to you guys.

thank you HeadsNo2! you write such entertaining recaps that sometimes are better than the actual dramas themselves XD . it also helps that i can agree with almost all of your opinions haha.

keep it up!

Kamsahamnida kaedejun for your recaps of The Musical. It was such a great help for me who cannot wait for the eng subbed version :)

Thank you kaedejun for WHAT'S UP recaps!! *bear hugs and bit fat smooches*

I want to thanks HeadsNo2 for the beautiful recap to Tree with Deep Roots ... your recap of it was as addicting as the drama itself ... I was skeptical about the drama even though it has a stellar cast (since I am not really a sageuk drama fan) but your recap just bought the addiction in me to see this drama and thanks to you, I have no regrets in it ... love love love the drama

Thanks thanks thanks! I hope you would continue to contribute your recap to dramabeans blog since even just reading your recaps can brings me down bawling like a baby on the Tree of Deep Roots.

Once again, great thanks and keep up the good work ... Have a happy new year!!!

Kamsahamnida kaedejun for your recaps of The Musical. It was such a great help for me who cannot wait for the eng subbed version :)

* NOT residing in US or Canada

Thanks kaedejun! I look forward to reading your re-caps of What's Up after I'm done watching the episodes myself. It's nice to re-read everything that has happened, listen to the audio clips, and gain new insights from your posts.

Thanks to HeadsNo2 for all the recaps. I really enjoy them and keep up the good work..

i love your writing kaedejun! you make the drama more interesting and enjoyable. sometimes i gave up hope watching the first episode of any new drama, but the recaps force me to fall in love. thanks a lot!

Thank you so much Kadejun and Samsooki. Even though "romance town" was not that popular with others but you keep recapping it for us, i really appreciated it. Samsooki with your "chuno" reviews, awsome! I know you tie up with life. We hope to see you again sometime. Best Wishes to both!

Thanks gummigochi for your Running Man recaps! Sometimes the subs are bad on certain sites, so your recaps make the situations and jokes more understandable.

HeadsNo2
Guess what?

YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!

Thanks for the mighty fine recapping.
:) :)

Hey HeadsNo2!! I really appreciate the recap you did on Tree With Deep Roots episodes. I found the drama to be so confusing at first, but you cleared up the mess! Thanks a bunch!!

Thank you kaedejun! For your wonderful and insightful recaps for the drama What's Up! As well as the awesome clips of songs. There doesn't seem to be much love for this drama around, even on the soompi forums :( Along with enlightening us viewers, your recaps help bring together discussion and speculation on this awesome and sadly underrated drama. :D Thank you!

Also thanks to soyjoy and dw4p for their persistence on Smile, You. I was only able to watch up until ep 21. The main leads were amazing (I watched for the leads) but the rest of the cast and the storyline was a bore. I'm amazed you guys even got as far as you did, and the quality of your recaps never decreased either.

Final thank you to EVERY contributor here at Dramabeans. The content here is top quality, provides valuable insight into not only the drama story but explaining nuances of Korean culture that I may not know... or clarifies things that may get lost in translation. You guys make me laugh as well. I trust the reviews you guys write and I'm more inclined to check out a drama that I would have initially passed because of the standards and constructive criticism in your reviews.

Dramabeans rocks!

Well the two people I'd like to thank are vastly different from each other in terms of their recapping style, haha. I'd like to thank HeadsNo2, because your recaps - especially those for Tree With Deep Roots - are all so ridiculously detailed and insightful that more often than not I find myself in awe of just how much time and dedication you must have put towards the recapping. In almost every episode's recap, you explain the things and words that appear in the drama, adding in lots of information about the Korean history. As a foreign reader with no knowledge whatsoever of Korean culture and history, your information has allowed me to enjoy the drama better with more understanding. I'm also awestruck at how knowledgeable you seem to be, haha. I especially liked how you told us about SSM's execution by King Sejo in the last recap. Without it, I think the scene where SSM has a shiver run down his spine after meeting the Grand Prince Suyang wouldn't have made an awful lot of sense to me. You made the scene feel more impactful and dramatic for me, and a recapper that actually makes the show more awesome for the readers is indescribably awesome too, so I would really like to thank you and pass along my fervent hopes for you to stay as a recapper on Dramabeans for the long run. A good writer is always interesting, but a dedicated writer will forever be a joy to read. Thank you!

The second person I'd like to thank is Santa, however bizarre it might seem, haha. Most of the time recaps on dramabeans are decently long, with some snippets of humorous takes stuffed in along the way. However, I take my hat off to Santa because not only are his recaps ridiculously short, they are also endlessly enjoyable, with a snarky remark and funny reference stuffed in almost every sentence.

How can someone manage to be so funny and entertaining for every thing he types? It seems pretty miraculous to me, and I'd like to thank Santa for his on-the-spot recaps, which always manage to cover all the main points in the episode so that I don't really miss anything, but also provide me with a bucketful of laughter, and spare my eyes from the pain of reading through too many long posts.

Santa and HeadsNo2, I think you both rock in your own special way, and I hope you continue to churn out amazing recaps!

-bbchuu (not from the USA)

Thank you kaedejun for sharing your love of dramas with everyone!

thanks to HeadsNo2 u did a great work tih tree with deep roots I mena it was a great sageuk... this is my last year at colelge so Idont have much time to watch dramas so I read the recaps... so I was waiting for your recaps ... like the actual viewers waited for the episode har life of a college student but u gave me entertainment yeah thank you very very much!! hope to read other recaps of other dramas

^^

Big thanks to all past and present guest bloggers--the articles/recaps are written well and awesome insights! Cheers for the future! :)

Thank you kaedejun!! I never even thought of looking at Prosecutor Princess or many of the other dramas that you did recaps of until after you wrote the recaps. Your writing made me almost more hooked than the dramas themselves! I look forward to every post and recap by everyone on this site! Thank you javabeans and girlfriday especially for your beyond entertaining dialogues on certain posts! Samsooki, your love for MNIKSS is amazing and thank so much for recapping it and renewing my love for it!

Thank you so much HeadNo2, Kadejun, and Samsooki!!!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

you guys made 2011 so much fun!!!! I'm looking forward to 2012!!

kaedejun,

Sincerely, thank you so much for all the time and effort you've put into recapping for this website. I've particularly enjoyed your recent recaps for Romance Town and The Musical, two shows I started out with great expectations of that fell short. Regardless, I continued through with your recaps, often because I gained such an understanding of the show that I would not have otherwise. Most of the time, if a show bores me, I drop both the episodes and the recaps, but your work just encouraged me to continue through just to gain an understanding of what you thought of it. Thank you so much!

Additionally, thank you to all the other guest bloggers as well as dramabeans and girlfriday for all your hard work!

Thank you gummimochi for your awesome recaps of Running Man! You were the one that got me so hooked onto the show - to the point where I now watch them too! Thank you for taking time to make recaps for each episode. I truly believe the episodes are funnier because of your recaps.

I'd like to thanks all the guest bloggers since I've read every news articles/recaps that were ever post from javabeans, girlfridays, or any other guest blogger on dramabeans. Reading all the recaps posted from guest bloggers have made dramabeans a better site with more recaps for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to all the guest bloggers! You guys are awesome!!
