I love Samsooki! His recaps on City Hall really cracks me up. I am always looking forward to his comments as much as the recaps =) And in Open Threads, though i haven't followed the threads religiously, but when i see him in the thread, i will certainly follow it. He gives advises and answers any questions. His knowledge on Kdrama is the one that i admire the most and to think he has a demanding day job (from what i gathered from the thread). On top of that, he practically know most of the regulars =)

So i take this opportunity to sincerely give my heartfelt thanks to Samsooki and to ask also, what is the meaning of the name Samsooki? <3

TQ Samsooki for my all time fav drama My Name Is Kim Sam Soon recap. You made me laugh, cry and fell in love with Sam Soon & Sam Shik all over again.

Dear gummimochi, thank you so much for recapping Running Man (RM). Recapping is really hard work (since I have done it before myself, though not for Korean dramas because Korean isn't the language that I'm good in), so really, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you so much for taking time off your schedule to fill us in on what's going on in RM. I watch RM with subs but I still come here to read your thoughts and see the screencaps.

I have probably never left any comments on your posts since I'm a silent reader, but here, I would just like you to know that you've really done a great job! I don't come here very often now due to my heavy workload in school (which means I can't watch that many dramas now), but reading those RM posts after watching it brings a smile to my face.

And to all other recappers, thank you all for the hard work as well! ;)

Last of all, thank you javabeans for the conception of this website! <3

Holy bananza! where was I when you gave $100 giftcard? 0.O that is AWESUM!! I feel that it should be the other way around. We should be the one giving you two (and other staffers) presents :) coz you've been doing this for 5 years. Thanks for this brilliant site!
Love and xoxo,
gossip girl (LOL)

I want to sincerely thank gummimochi for the amazing RunningMan recaps and the superb collab work with JB on High Kick 3, which I like to read about more than watch it haha You are witty, charming, honest and you get perfectly to the point without missing any important details :) You are the one, who confirms my thoughts and even gets me to think about some stuff, that I normally neglected. All in all, you did, are doing an awesome job and I really hope you keep doing it! :D Hwaiting! (I had to write it haha)

I'm not a US resident.

i wanna thank kaedejun for posting recaps of a lot of dramas that i absolutely love and squeal with delight for and need to read recaps to relive the glory moments but which javabeans & others may be too busy to recap xD

I'd love to say thank you to kadejun for recapping what's up, I watch the episodes subbed but I always read your insights because I always miss a lot of things and I literally go "OHHHH" when you produce amazing analyzations of a certain scene or action that I would have never thought of :)

Thanks to aberdeen_angus and kaedejun for introducing me to prosecutor princess. it's still on my instant-reruns-to-pick-me-up-from-the-funk list. even if the list has gotten longer since then, i'll never erase it from my hard drive.

please keep those recaps coming. :)

Samsooki!!! You recapped one of my favorite dramas!! I liked them so much that I went back and rewatched the entire series. Very funny, succinct, and juicy tidbits:)

Massively BIG thank you to all the guest contributors, but especially to kaedejun! Loved reading your recaps of You've Fallen For Me! You managed to voice out my frustrations about bits of the writing & squeals about the OTP sweetness in a coherent way =)

Ok so this is my first comment ever.
I live in Iran and living in my country is quite difficult,since everything and I mean it,EVERYTHING is forbidden.Basically we have no freedom...anyway,my one and only joy in life is watching k-dramas and reading your recaps makes it doubly joyful for me.So I wanna thank everyone of you for that and specially kaedejun for recapping some of my favorite dramas.
that's it !thank you again:)

Definitely want to thank orangy911 for the Me Too Flower Drama recaps. This was such a great drama even though it had low ratings. So I was so happy to see it recapped on Dramabeans and I'm sure helped bring in more viewers! Thanks so much!

Thanks to the fine folks who reviewed Sungkyunkwan Scandal! I wasn't able to watch the drama as it was airing but I eagerly awaited the recaps and had (almost!) as much fun reading them as I later did watching.

Thanks to Kaedejun for recapping What's Up! I'm so in love with this drama and soak up everything I hear about it. It's always interesting to hear another person's perspectives, the things that made them laugh and cry :) Thank you so much!!

Good day Dramabeans!
I'm really enjoying how interactive and open this site is especially to guest bloggers who also want to share their insights and views on a certain K-drama or film.
Though this post may sound ostensible or superficial, just because this is a contest/promo, still I wanna use this opportunity. It's because I think this is the perfect chance (since I know you're receiving lots of mails everyday) for these guest bloggers to notice how grateful I am to their posts.

To samsooki: Oh yeah. I really like your writing style. It's straightforward and fun to read. Also, you're not using too much highfalutin English terms to describe something, which is I think, one way to show how considerate you are to non-English speakers like us. I just wanna commend you on your point regarding 200 Pounds Beauty for defending it so well. You didn't even hold back despite that a lot of people really dislike the film. I'm also happy that someone like you (wow, Adele) recapped City Hall, Chuno, My Love Patzzi and one of my all time rom-com favorite, My Name is Kim Sam Soon. Too bad, I'm not seeing any of your posts lately. Hope we'll get to check more from you. Kudos!

To only1tony: It's nice to have you in Dramabeans since you're the one who initiated the movie reviews/recaps in this site. I'm a K-drama fanatic, but because of your interesting movie notes, I'm also checking the K-films now. Hope you add more films from the list, especially the rom-com or action types. More power!

To gummimochi: High five! I really salute you for recapping and providing us plenty of variety and sitcom recaps such as Running Man and High Kick. I don't know how are you managing your time for being so active in recapping such lengthy shows. Through your recaps, you're also helping me make my day at ease after studying. Your way of narrating every detail of it makes it even more fun to read, and at the same time, comprehending the jokes/stills well. For that, you really deserve some recognition.

And to the rest of guest bloggers, thank you for making Dramabeans a site-to-follow everyday, by providing variety (with different taste and aroma) of delicious and healthy K-drama/film meals for us. Hope to see more from you in the next 10-20 years. God Bless everyone. More power!

I would like to thank Dahee Fanel for her year-end reviews! It is just sooo unique and different. Even though I don't agree with most of it, it's really fun reading them, coz y'know it's no fun if we all have the same opinions right? I remember you not liking you're beautiful, and I just went, "What?!", lol I think that was the first time I read one of your reviews, so I must've been shocked. But as I read your reviews, I find it really interesting

Who knows, maybe I'm just used to agreeing all the time (girlfriday and javabeans), which is not a bad thing, of course xD. But keep writing your honest thoughts and keep writing year-end reviews please! It's fun reading 'em :)

thanks gummimochi for always feeding me my running man needs! your recaps are always great just like you!!

and also thanks to santa for being the crazy guy that he is HOHOHO

oops, not a resident of US/Canada

aberdeen_angus and kaedejun, ah you lovely people! without your recaps to show me otherwise, I would have just passed on the magnificence that is Prosecutor Princess! *_* you two were the catalyst that brought Park Shi Hoo into my life, and for that I am forever grateful OTL

A huge shout out to gummimochi for the continuous churning of awesome running man recaps along with the coblogging of high kick 3. those recaps save me every week!

I have to give a big thanks to samsooki for his lovely recaps of My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. I'm sure many of us readers were desperately waiting for this, despite having seen the drama prior to the recaps, but it's always fun to see other people's take on it - it opens up so much discussion AND you get to learn new things. Also, an added thanks for introducing me to City Hall - admittedly, it's not my favourite drama, but the chemistry between CSW and KSA is just...

Please note: NOT a resident of US/Canada

I wanna thank santa claus for all the extra humor you bring this this blog. love your end of the year recap. lol!
I wanna thank all the guest bloggers for all the lovely end of the year reviews...i look forward to those every year! LOTS OF LOVE to all of you for contributing to my kdrama addict.

i have to thank SAMSOOKI for the retro recaps!

I would like to thank Samsooki for the wonderful MNIKSS reviews! It was the first k-drama I ever watched - and to me - the best one to date. I've always been wanting to re-watch it but never had the chance - the reviews were a great way to relive the fun.

All of you other fantastic guest bloggers are equally wonderful though ~ thank you all for taking the time and effort to write such great reviews ^ ___ ^

i would like to give my heartfelt thanks to SAMSOOKI for recapping one of the most sentimental kdrama i have seen, My Name is Kim Sam Soon... recapping it after so many years past it was aired, it brings back that nostalgic emotions you have been missing from recent dramas...

i know recapping is a very difficult task and it requires patience and dedication, so this post of gratitude goes out to other guest bloggers who extended their views and sharing it to us... you all just don't know how thankful we all are for this awesome site...

i wish i could have my own 5 year birthday giveaway for this site as well but alas, i don't have the resources for it....

so instead, please accept this POST OF HEARTFELT GRATITUDE as my little giveaway for all of you...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! ( and keep up the good job)

Long overdue but here I go...

Grazie-grazie-mille.... *still echoing* I had so much fun reading Pasta with skimmy and Andromytta (still on hiatus it seems) when JB handed over the sauce pan to Team Italy vs. Team Korea. It was fun while it lasted "Chep."

Where's the wise ol' samsooki? Ah~ trip back down memory lane when he decided to recap My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. It took a while to get there but I'm glad he did it. Who can get tire of MNIKSS? How many of us followed him and done a marathon? C'mon~ let's show some hands. I think I lost some calories w/ Sophie when she was broken hearted. 謝謝!

I can't deny this importance, Sungkyunkwan Scandal was epic during its time and I have red pill and cassie.opeia along with The Mighty GF to illuminate the darken maze to a Sungkyunkwan Scholar's life. To borrow Harry Potter's spell, "lumos maxima" it be! Gratias~

All right, I'm almost done... I promise. We have great shows and then not so great ones been threatened to shutdown. These ones stand out the most for me, I have to howl to kaedejun for keeping Romance Town flapping its fins out of the fish bowl fighting to stay alive. I, for one, appreciate that a lot. And I'll dare say it, javabeans and girlfriday weren't thrilled to start recapping Playful Kiss. However, they surprised me sticking through it to the finale, even though Bi's physique then tiny eyes are very attractive in Runaway Plan B and a S-line model gumiho was wafting chicken drumsticks up their noses no thanks to the Hong Sisters but those distractions weren't kryptonite to these Super Duo. Goodness gracious! Where's the time? Kamsahamnida~

I really don't mind having an iPod nano. ^ __ ^ v

First, thanks a lot to all the recappers in Dramabeans. Led by Javabeans and Girlfriday, you have done so much to make us kdrama addicts, particularly non-Koreans, understand many aspects of the shows. Our enjoyment of the dramas are enhanced by the quality of the recaps here, such that I await them as eagerly as I wait for the English-subbed episodes.

Many kdrama addicts have acknowledged how daebak JB’s and GF’s recaps are. Facility in language and style, high level of social commentary and discourse, much insight into Korean culture, and humor – all these and more make DB recaps the ones to beat, the standard to follow.

The guest recappers have likewise done an awesome job in adhering to the standards set by JB and GF. And more of them means more recaps, yay! yay!
* does a dance of joy *

My most recently loved recaps by a guest writer were those for Tree with Deep Roots. Thumbs up for HeadsNo2 for the recaps that made possible such challenging and stimulating discussion/debate in the TWDR blogs. A high five, too to Santa and Thundie for their ROFL tongue-in-cheek recaps.

And most of all many cheers for my favorite guest recapper, no other than THE Samsooki! His City Hall recaps sucked me into the world of Dramabeans and kdramas. And Samsooki, thanks for recapping MNIKSS, although they came much later than the watching. But then, they made the rewatching doubly satisfying.

Kamsa hamnida, DB recappers! Hugs to all of you!

My vote would go to kaedejun :) Love the recaps! So funny and entertaining!

non USA/Canada resident

My thanks to kaedejun for staying the course here on DB for quite a while now, always appreciate your insights which add depth and enjoyment to my drama understanding and experience - kumawo!

*NOT a resident of US/Canada

Thank you Samsooki for recapping Kim Sam Soon and giving me the encouragement I needed to finally stop dragging my feet and watching what is now in my Top#5 dramas of all time ^_^

i would really love to thank girlfriday andddd javabeans for recaping flower boy ramyun shop.....this drama gave me a really awesome feeling and actually was worth it for me to wait for its recaps ......thank youuuu!!! *NOT A US/ CANADA Resident

GUMMIMOCHI.. RUNNING MAN... YAYYYYYYYYYYY :)

I would like to thank gummimochi who faithfully recaps Running Man. I am forever grateful, because now I can save my time by watching episodes I know I'll like. Though I gotta say that reading the recaps are just as entertaining and funny as watching it.
I know you put a lot of time and effort into the recaps. I appreciate it! Keep up the good work!!!!

Thank you kaedejun for all your wonderful recaps.

No matter how bad the twists and turns in a drama gets....You never fail to continue putting out a recap. I really admire your dedication. You are simply awesome!!

*Not a US/Canada resident.

Do I really have to choose one? If I have to, then...

Thank you kaedejun! Besides the humour, you post stills that capture your recaps so well. It's not only about the writing, but the screenshots that make your recaps really fun for me.

On a similar note, a shoutout to dramabeans and javabeans for your generosity and dedication! My Internet connectivity is really slow so I rely on your recaps.

Hope to get the ipod nano since I'm not a US/Canada resident. I'll learn some Korean listening to lessons.

Thank you HeadsNo2 for the wonderful recap on 'tree with deep roots'. can't stop once i started reading the recap..awesome job!

*not from US/canada

Thank you Samsooki, for the male perspective of Korean dramas. With post-army abs galore in some dramas it is sometimes hard to remember that men do enjoy k dramas too. Thank you again for all your hard work and excellent writing.

Well I'd like to thank Samsooki for recapping MNIKSS. It was actually one of my first Kdramas and I just randomly started watching it, and I loved it even though I didn't really understand the plot and all. Samsooki let me understand all that was happening and also it was fantastic reliving the drama again!
ALSO I wanna thank kaedejun for doing You've Fallen For Me. It was.. a drama that could've been good but OH WELL. :D
And last but not least, Red Pill and Cassie.opeia for doing Sungkyunkwan Scandal! It was AN AWESOME DRAMA but the recaps really made it for me because they were just... I don't know, so enjoyable hahaha.
So thank you EVERYONE for making dramabeans one of my favorite sites ever!! Boy am I glad that my friend introduced me to it ^^

Happy anniversary Dramabeans! Nothing like a giveaway to lure me out of my lurker mode :) Everyone is doing an awesome job recapping, for which I am truly grateful. But I think I would thank kaedejun especially for recapping my latest drama fix What's Up.
Arigatou, xiexie ni, gracias, kamsahamnida, salamat!

Kudos to red pill and cassie.opeia for doing sungkyunkwan scandal. Its what got me stuck/ addicted at dramabeans... ^_^

Thank you all of you, for all the hard work. Keep it up! And I'm not a resident of the US or Canada. :-)
