Yeah you girlfriday and javabeans! Ever since catching this drama-craze, I have wanted to read books about it. I've even thought about what I'd like to see in a book and wondered if I should do the research and write one myself (you know, in about a decade when I've collected enough data!)

I totally support you and will of course buy your book.

Whee, exploding comment section! Congratulations on the book, and I'm looking forward to it! :D

Oh, this is awesome! Congrats and thank you. It sounds like you'll answer a lot of questions I have (especially the whole wrist grab thing - drives me crazy). I don't know where you two find the time to devote to this but thank you for it. I hope this will be a really successful venture for you both and I definitely intend to check the book out.

Splendid idea, JB, GF. I am happy that you are spreading your wings. So exciting! Although I'm worried that you girls are trying to do too much. At the same time, I am sooo very thankful for your devotion to Kdrama and DB. You have my full support.

I had a feeling there was a reason you hadn't updated that series!!! Consider it sold!

Looking forward to this, how fun!
...can't believe I didn't guess this when you were talking in that podcast that it had turned into something more. X) As a writer, I should have known that it had spawned into a book!

This is awesome news. Congratulations!!!! Thank you for your hard work as well. Can't wait to read it.

Yahoo... Congratulations JB & GF!

I'm so gonna get this on my Kindle!
Looking forward to Part 1~

Oh boy, you gals are true entrepreneurs - got the brains, the wit, the truly awesome sense of humor, the pulse on the cultural trends and technology savvy. You deserve your success and I can see you taking things to the next higher level(s) down the road! Bravo!

The first book ever written in english depicting k-drama writing/culture.
SOLD. I'll get any explanation I can, even if it may not be the holy truth.
You girls are seriously drama goddesses. Forget the haters and continue to expand! My wish one day is for DB to be successful and prosperous. I just think you ladies need repayment for all the hardwork and TIME you put in.

Hahaha..this is epic! The only thing that makes me laugh the whole day..

It's a good idea, although, you know, I'm not so much into reading books. But, girls, can you open your channel on YouTube? I'd be a devoted subscriber!

Awesome! Can't wait to read it!

i hate repeating myself ! but here it is......... you guys rock !!!

congrats! i'm excited to read this.

Fantastic! Looking forward to being able to buy this one. Can we get email notification of its availability?

congrats, ladies! this sounds like an awesome project! i'm not an e-book person, but hopefully there'll be a pdf version available.

And what's with the grandma slippers - there is nothing less sexy than a beautiful man walking around in grandma slippers... aren't there any manly looking ones out there? :)

This is so wonderful! Can't wait to read the finished product *claps*

HUZZAH. Can't wait to see these!

This needed to happen. I wanted to write a term paper about dramas and society for my senior level Literary Criticism course and soon found the dearth of potential sources was problematic. Because of the lack of commentary, I had to satisfy myself with gender roles in Asian pop culture :c

Anyway, you guys are saving some desperate college students heartbreak, so bonus points~

An awesome and excellent idea! I hope you include some of the questions that you didn't have time for in your recent podcast. Thanks!

This sounds awesome! :D
how much will it be? I'll definitely be downloading it to my beloved kindle. Can't wait :)

I CAN'T WAIT!

So exciting!! I've been meaning to read all those posts but now I've got a one-stop reading spot, Sweet!! Thank you so much ladies :D

Don't let nameless trolls discourage you. If you want to write a book just DO IT. You have nothing to lose.

i will be patiently waiting!

Dear javabeans and girlfriday, can you also include a segment on favorite lines used in k-dramas to explain thr context in which they are spoken?

The phrase "I'm going crazy" always gets me. I always have to remind myself that the character is not proclaiming a mental condition : )

SO FANTASTIC, JB & GF!! LOVE the idea of you ladies writing a book! I'll be looking out for it. Fighting!! *fist pump*

THANK YOU for this. I think you've covered the chaebol vs. pauper point really well. I really hate that. No one is ever of the middle class! Makes me really frustrated. >:(

Thank you.. thank you.. thank you.

Coming out of lurkdom to say I will be purchasing this and thank you for making this resource.

As a fan who has all these questions, I have just one thing to say: THANK YOU. I'm going to read it.

That's awesome news! Best wishes, and hope the project can help raise some funds for an European tour of your own, à la Grandpas Over Flowers (but without Seo-Jinnie).
Javabeans and Girlfriday, Fighting!

The whole wrist grab thing, oh, yes! but I also want to know about Korean breakfasts, because it doesn't look anything waffles or, more mundanely, cereal. And some basic rules about who can marry whom. And who has to give permission. And titles in-laws call each other.

I enjoy Dramabeans very much. I'm glad I will be able to download your books onto my phone and read at odd minutes.

And while we are on the subject, I love the podcasts!

Thanks!

Awesomesauce! I'll definitely be getting a copy! Thank you, GF and JB! Adding words like 'thank you' and 'please' and 'sorry' to the glossary would be great, to help clarify pronunciation and spelling, and more common phrases and terms and slang would be fabulous. I can't think of any off the top of my head right now, but I know there are a handful I hear regularly that I've looked for in the glossary here and not found. Oh! Saiguk vocab would be great.

Congratulations! There's no one else I'd rather read a book on the kookie-craziness of dramaland by! You ladies are a-mazing!!!!! :D
