I would love the Monstar OST! Monstar was such a great drama. While school issues isn't a new topic, I liked the mix of idol drama and "normal" teen drama. All the characters are multi dimensional and there were hidden background stories that I never saw coming. The whole SeYi's mother and Ahjusshi story line reveal was such a great twist to a huge misunderstanding. I also liked to watch Junhyung act. He's an amazing rapper, and now I see also a pretty good actor. The whole cast was amazing. Monstar was just another drama among the tons that I've been watching in the past 2 years that I've discovered Kdramas (and dramabeans!) but it's definitely in my top favorites. Dramabeans fighting!

MONSTAR. As a self-proclaimed incurable addict of Korean dramas which always make me cry, I had to say Monstar is a breath of fresh air. It showed the cuteness of innocent love, the agony of a one-sided love, the giddiness of first love, and a whole lot of emotions like, excitement, resentment, guilt, angst, and confusion …that pull at your heartstrings every now and then all throughout the 12 episodes. All this are beautifully presented in terms of superb musical compositions so melodious it stuck to my brain. I didn’t realize I was humming some of the tunes long after I heard it. I am not a Korean. I don’t understand a word of it. But hey, it’s music, … and music needs no specific language. Unexplainable perhaps, but true. I find the beat and the melody of the songs played in this drama really effective in creating a great visual and audio experience. My only complaint is that it somehow ended abruptly. I want more …what can I do but watch it again. And I guess you can help me with my craving by sending that Monstar CD to me.

I would super SUPER love to get my hands on the Flower Boy Next Door: OST + DVD + Photobook (Special Edition).
It's not the first drama ever that has sent me on a crazy drama watching spree, but it did unleash a very different side to me.
I enjoyed the drama so much that I found myself downloading each episode as it aired and rewatching every episode that was available as I waited for the next. And of course, when it finished I watched the whole series again (...and again...and again...*cough*) from the beginning.
The combination of a beautiful cast and a simple storyline won my heart. It was just the right dosage of everything needed in a drama. And Yoon Shi Yoon as Enrique made things even better :)

I would like to win the Flower Boy next door OST :) I started to look forward to this drama from the moment Park Shin Hye and Kim Ji Hoon were cast; from then on this drama did not disappoint me. I like this drama because Go Dok Mi is a character and story that I can relate too you know except without the Flower Boy neighbors. For me the world seemed like it was just a little bit more scary than it was for others; that fear that Go Dok Mi felt I've felt the small steps that Dok Mi takes to change her life are also small steps that I have taken. However the best part of the drama is that there are many people that relate to Go Dok Mi in the same way I do. I keep re-watching it because it reminds me that there are others like me out there;that makes me feel just a little less lonely. Also Kim Ji hoon brings a smile to my face when I see him. Oh and THANK YOU for the recaps I watch dramas with subtitles and then read the recaps to make sure I don't miss anything important like a good name pun.

I'd love to have the I hear your voice OST! They are beautiful, catchy, calming, sleep-inducing..basically my type of OST! Anyway, let's talk about the drama: I think the drama is full wonders, romance, fantasy and lots of thrills that keeps me waiting for the subsequent episodes. Even during the part of the series where you scarcely sees the creepy killer I find enough joy in the two main characters.
Honestly though, I would love to own an actual OST CD (being one of my favourite drama would be a plus), instead of illegally download them off the internet. I would never be able to afford one currently with my student budget. :]

I wish to win the I Hear Your Voice OST. I love the drama very much, where I cried and laughed a lot while watching the drama. The story line of this drama is so unique and not to mention the awesome songs in the drama. I also like the combination of the couple, they are sweet even though their age gap is large, the scene where the Su-ha kept his promise to hye sung is so adorable and touched. I like this drama very much!!!!

None other than I Hear Your Voice OST since the songs represents the story at each level and remind me of the things in life that are worth stand, fight, protect, care and love for.
It also will give me reminisce of the drama, the time spent for the drama - online, on TV and in this blog - and let all the character keep living in my heart as time goes by.
I really love this drama. haha.

I would love I Hear Your Voice!
I started watching this drama after it completed it's air on tv and lets just say that three says later..I finished watching the entire show. I could not. stop. watching. This drama had me as it's SLAVE. Whatever it wanted me to do, I did it. I laughed and cried; I felt everything single emotion the characters were feeling. I've never felt so attached characters in any other show. As I watched the drama, I was so worried and scared for the characters; they were like members of my family, it's ridiculous. I swear I was going to have a heart attack sooner or later, my life has probably been shortened due to all those anxiety attacks the drama gave me. Weeks after I've finished the show, I still feel giddy when I think back on how amazing that show was. It was better than cake. Better than cake on your birthday surround by friends. I've turned weirder too. In those giddy moments I have, not gonna lie, I'll squeal and clap my hands because I'm so in love with this drama. I've stayed up till 4am watching episode and episode, and my laptop would have to die in order to get me to stop watching. I will always and forever been in love with this drama (and Lee Jong Suk) Thanks Dramabeans for listening to my spiel about my love for I Hear Your Voice!

I hear Your voice and Gu Family Book fare both truly amazing. I'm going with Gu Family Book because it for one has more tracks, and they as beautiful as I Hear Your Voice tracks.
Even the little instrumental tunes are nice, especially like the one opening , and moments of tunes between the lovers <3 Gu Family Book had some typical Kdrama moments so not really my favorite of all time. I hear Your Voice however is definitely one of my favorite korean drama. It takes different approaches and raises many different issues and also some unexpected moments like where the lawyer helps our main lead. Who would've thought he sweet spot - unlike in other dramas where the characters are basically dull and take their opportunity to "defeat" them .
Both dramas were great overall , and had loveable OST - my entry goes to GFB.

Hey DB! I'd like to win the OST for I Hear Your Voice please. It's been my favourite drama of the year so far. I admit that at first I watched it just because of Lee Jong-seok (he had totally won me over with his portrayal of Go Nam-soon, and his bromance with Kim Woo-bin's character made me feel all warm and mushy inside). But after the first episode, the show had me hooked. The main pairing has made its way into my list of favourite OTPs. Su-ha's noona crush and his determination to protect Hye-sung no matter what, topped with Hye-sung's sassy awesomeness, how could I not love them? Other than that, I adored Hye-sung's mom and whilst I'm normally all for non violence, I swear I could blast Min Joon-gook's fictional ass to hell for what he did to the worlds best mom ever. Also, this was one show where I truly liked the second lead (not including Pil-joo in Best Love). Kwan-woo was just too adorable! His idealistic view on everything and his earnest belief that his clients were good people made me want to coo at him and call him a good little boy even though I'm probably half his age (barely 18 here. Hehe). I could honestly write on forever about why I love this drama and trust me, I want to! But I'll spare you the boredom and just end here. I hope you choose me for the giveaway (Pretty please with a MILLION cherries on the top?). But there's like, no pressure *flips hair and walks away coolly*

I would love the OST for I Hear Your Voice! I totally fell in love with this drama. It was so well written with a tight plot and great character development. It was the first drama in a long time that I eagerly waited for each new episode. I laughed, cried, and sat on the edge of my seat in terror. What more can you ask for in a drama? IHYV exceeded my expectations and definitely makes my favorite list...

Monstar!!!
i'm in my 30s, so i couldn't believe it that i found my self still softened toward a school drama, awww...i think it's hearthwarming to see the kids (!) in this drama still have the sweet and cute nervousness towards (perceived) love..these days too often i found drama where the school seems a place for the kids to experience 'adult' kind of relationship, and not a sweet and (healthy) teenagers love, dealing with bitterness in life and fun (including the bickering) relationships with schoolmates..and i love the music in this drama!, so yeah, i want Monstar OST, thank youuuu!

I want to win Flower Boy Next Door: OST + DVD + Photobook. FBND is a drama very very close to my heart because of its characters. They were given so much depth that I felt like the story just flowed effortlessly all through out the show. That's why I love it so much. When I started watching it, I never left my bed. I ate on my bed too, hah! And after I finished the whole drama, I was in front of my piano all day trying to play Park Shin Hye's Pitch Black. Listening to that song makes me reminisce the hardships Dok Mi experienced in the show. And it even brings me to tears sometimes. FBND also taught me that I should open my heart to people. Thanks to Enrique who is by the way one of the few fictional characters I would marry. I am not an introvert but sometimes, I end up keeping things to myself even if I'm hurting. I know I have quite a few Enrique's in my life that I could trust so I really thank this show for making me realize that. I am so glad I came across this show. I have re-watched it once and I probably will re-watch it again soon. I will never get tired of FBND, especially its characters and its songs. :)

so i would love a i can hear your hea-voice ost lol. i really really loved that drama. plus i'm a band nerd so the whole time i was watching the drama i was listing to the background music lol. but seriously this drama made me happy . i don't know about you but lately dramas (especially rom-coms) seem to have hit this slump and everything's just so the same and even if they aren't (ha i laughed when i wrote that) they don't grip you and make you obsessed with keeping up with them AND even when they do as in the case of THAT drama -_- the ending is a great big flop. i felt like i was going through my k-drama midlife crisis but then i watched i can hear your voice and i felt like i used to when i would watch dramas like my girl, secret garden and queen in-hyun's man .they may not have been perfect and lord knows about the clothes and camera angle but they still got to you even though at times they were cheesy and cliche they still didn't make me think that my 7 year old brother could have wrote a drama with less logical holes as in the case of other dramas -_-.i really loved this drama .... besides this could be like a consolation present to me since Lee Jong-suk probably just lost best actor to Joo Won lol i mean even if you have the ability to read minds you can't beat the guy who's autistic . please and thanks ^-_^

First of all, thank you for all of your recaps! I don't have many friends who enjoy k-drama, so reading your recaps (and the comments beneath) always makes me feel like I'm not alone.
I want to win FBND OST. I really like flower boy's soundtrack in general. They have this 'indie feeling' in them.
FBND easily become my favorite drama this year because of the relatable female lead and endearing characters. This show also the one which introduce me to Yoon Shi-yoon, Kim Ji-hoon, Go Kyung-po, ang Kim Seul-gi. Since that I become a fan of them.

I would really really (x100) love to win the 'I Hear Your Voice' OST. I absolutely loved the OST and I always squeal internally (and a little externally ;)) whenever I hear the soundtrack during parodies or in other shows (especially Every Single Day's Echo, which I didn't really like in the beginning but fell in love with after watching the show and hearing it multiple times). Whenever I hear that song especially or the other tracks of the OST (including the instrumental parts), I can envision Park Soo Ha walking in his school uniform with his headphones strung around his neck (sigh, this is already making me squee in delight and cry because I don't have my own Park Soo Ha). I fell in love with all the sweet romantic moments between Soo Ha and Lawyer Jjang, from their bickering as roommates to their mentoring relationships because both Soo Ha and Prosecutor Jjang change each other for the better. And contrary to what girlfriday thinks, I think I swooned more than Soo Ha did at each of their delicious moments.
But I think I loved the theme of can we trust the justice system to do its job the most, invigorating a little bit of trust in the institutions when it seems to be failing. With a growing despair at news articles reminding us of times when the justice system failed, from the "reasonable doubt" argument to corruption cases (like the 'Dogani' case). But it was nice to see this ultimate trust in the justice system with this drama even with what might be an inaccurate portrayal of the justice system. I loved how we slipped into that slump and despair with Lawyer Jjang, but then rose up from that rough patch.

As much as I enjoyed watching the other dramas, I'm sure that out of the four, Monstar's OST was the one that caught me by surprise (in the best way). While the first episode dragged along, as the story progressed the music really began to shine. I was surprised because, even when a drama is supposedly focused on musical talents, that usually retrocedes into the background as the writer focuses on love plot lines and other 'ambitions' like in ‘Dream High 2’ or ‘K-Pop: The Ultimate Audition.’ Monstar wraps its script and characters around some of my favorite themes in shows: petty fights, first loves, the arduous anxiety of "Wait, now? Maybe later." confessions, and there is always a new song. I loved Noh Min Woo's cameo. I loved Se-Yi and Sun Woo's duet of the "wind (?)" song even though I wasn't rooting for them as a pair. And one of my favorites is when Se-Yi really discovers, or admits, that she likes Seol Chan causing the rest of her school day to be filled with numerous apparitions of song/singers all until the nighttime. This song also reflects how the director’s way of handling the scene intertwined the music and story into something unforgettable. I’d like to write more, but it’s getting long…and classes have already started for me ;) I hope I’m convincing as to how much I love this OST !!

I would love to win the OST for I Hear Your Voice. I think the plot flowed throughout with very little flaws (nothing's perfect) and the acting was superb; you couldn't ask for a better casting. The producers and writer knew exactly when and how to make the hearts of their faithful watchers twist and turn.
I loved the running gags throughout like the revolving door. Oh boy, that was the best one. A couple weeks ago, I booked a room at a Marriott hotel. The entrance had a revolving door in the middle with two normal side entrances. When entering and exiting, my parents obviously took the less-troubling, normal doorways. But being the drama addict I am, I had to become Jang byun, even if it was for just one moment. So I start journeying around and around the revolving door like there's no tomorrow. The hotel staff, of course, noticed right away and probably believed I lost my marbles, but it was okay. I was in my own little world, where I was a sassy, hard-headed public defender with an overenthusiastic co-worker and a (boy? man? mind-reading-kid-with-the-cutest-puppy-face-ever?) who kept his promise to me from ten years ago. In the end, however, I have to side with Lawyer Shin; that revolving door does nothing but make you dizzy.
In any case, I loved every minute of every episode of that drama. The two-episode extension did make some episodes feel a little slower and might have ruined its initial every-episode-I'm-going-to-play-with-your-heart-till-you-have-a-record-number-of-heart-attacks feeling but in exchange for two more hours of Sooha? I'll take it graciously.
The background music of the drama was played subtly, much unlike ALMOST PAARRRRADISEEEEEE. (I swear, even if someone dies in the most unfortunate way, that song would play.) Anyways, Echo and Why Did You Come Now? were wonderful picks by the producers. Both were soft with a hint of sadness and longing which I found appropriate for this drama. I played Echo so many times, I figured those beginning couple notes (before the lyrics) on the violin: B A G F# G F# E D E (just in case anyone was wondering).
Overall, I just want to express my thanks to this drama for being so wonderful, from start to finish, and I will be looking forward to the writer's next drama installment. And thanks dramabeans for reading all this!

I would love to win the Gu Family Book: OST 2 CD + DVD!
Why? Because I loved Wol Ryung. I loved that this drama sky rocketed Choi Jin Hyuk to fame and recognition. He was perfect as the tortured bad guy/hero and his story with Seo Hwa made me tear up so badly. The first two episodes of Gu Family Book seemed like a separate movie to me honestly and it was the best!!
I've watched all the Wol Ryung scenes a thousand and one times and basically memorized every single line T_T
Seriously best acting from Choi Jin Hyuk!!

So I'd love to win the I Hear Your Voice soundtrack because it was AMAZING! I was in Seoul a few weeks ago and every time we went into a store, or a coffee shop, or I don't even know - my Korean friends were apt to point out 너목들!! It was a drama I looked forward to watching every week (Monstar too..but that will have to be a separate post) except I was totally behind on the finale because of my awesome trip to Korea! (What homestay family doesn't have a TV though?!?! I had plans, plans I tell you!)
So I got home and seriously marathoned it (4 episodes T_T plus 2 for Monstar) in the wee hours of the morning before I had to go to work. My schedule was thus: Korea!-airport!-home!-drama!!!-work! with no pause...but TOTALLY worth it. ^^V

I would really like to win the Monstar OST and poster. If there was one thing that I really loved in Monstar, it would be the music and collaborations on the soundtrack. The story was heartwarming, even if it did moved at the same pace as a snail. I'm glad I got to see Junhyung acting, he is now favorite in BEAST :) Whenever I hear about him now, all I will probably be able to think of is, "Naega star!" XD

I would love to win the I Hear Your Voice OST. My absolute favorite drama of the year and in the running for of all time is I Hear Your Voice. The characters had depth, humor, sadness, and something that made them realistic. The heroine was actually strong in this series (finally). She didn't let anyone push her around and she didn't do ridiculously stupid things. She did have her weak points, but that was what made her realistic. I was on Lee Jong Suk's side from the very beginning (a bias from School 2013) to the very end (a bias from his addictive character and acting). Together, they were simply awesome. I think every character in this drama was portrayed well too and I never got bored of watching any of them.
Not only were the characters amazing, but the plot was great too and so was the soundtrack. I am blind to any flaws this drama may have had, just because I love it so much. Enough gushing though, I just hope I win :)

Please let me win the the Flower Boy Next Door prize. I absolutely adore Yoon Si Yoon and the previous Flower Boy Series (Ramyun, Boy Band, etc.), which is why I watched this drama in the first place. Even though it may not be my favorite drama, I loved watching Yoon Si Yoon's acting and the whole show was completely adorable. One of my favorite tracks to listen to was Park Shin Hye's "Pitch Black", so I hope that I win the OST so I can listen to it all the time. Please let me win the OST, poster, and DVD so I can share this drama with my family too :)

With almost 400 comments so far, I doubt I stand much of a chance. But I guess it's worth a try!
I'd like I Hear Your Voice. Actually, I watched all four dramas, but IHYV was the only one to stand out. I think it stands only on par with Delightful Girl (AHmazing drama btw) and even then, the winner between both is questionable. I fell in love with Park Soo-ha and Jang Hyesung. They both found that teeny tiny sliver of light in a world of darkness. If I were in their position, would I have done the same? Honestly speaking, I would be more likely to take the path of revenge.
But then I thought. If Soo-ha's father couldn't bribe his way into getting a heart donor for his wife or if Min Joon-gook's wife wasn't refused because of Soo-ha's father, if Joon-gook was put in jail much longer the first time (10 years for bludgeoning a man to death? SERIOUSLY?), if he was put in jail for murdering Hyesung's mom the first time it was put through a trial, if so many things didn't happen, then Hyesung and Soo-ha wouldn't have had to gone through so much pain and tears. I understand this is just a drama and real life is different, but for someone, anyone, to have to endure so much unfairness; it's just unmoral.
So I decided. I don't want to grow up and work just to earn money. I want to help our society somehow. Maybe it won't be a big change. Maybe all I can do is recycle plastic bottles and turn off the faucet while brushing my teeth. But I want to be like Jang Hyesung and Cha Gwan-woo. Maybe not a lawyer. That kinda sounds like a lot of tedious work. But I want to be able to help other people like they did.
That's the impact this drama left on me. And that's why I would like the OST of I Hear Your Voice.

I like the CD of GU FAMILY BOOK, because ever since it's been aired I always wait for the recap patiently in this site. And because of this TV Series, I've become a avid fan of this site especially JAVABEANS and GIRLFRIDAY. Also because of this series I've become an addict to the DRAMABEANS site. I always look for the new post and even leaving a comment to each that I read. Because of the GU FAMILY BOOK I meet this website and after that it's become my habit to look for the new post to keep my self updated to Korean world. I love the drama so much that it's captivate me to the point that I cry when SUZY died in the end. I love to read the post made in this site. But I much appreciate and even treasure if I get the CD.
Thanks GIRLFRIDAY for the opportunity to site my comment her. Thank you.

There's no doubt that I Hear Your Voice is one of the best drama of 2013. I breezed through the first half of the drama but it never occurred to me that I'll encounter a huge bump along the way and finishing the drama would be a difficult task for me as a K-Drama fan. Here's the story...
August 3- I Hear Your Voice ended two days ago and I'm still on episode 10. I decided to marathon-watch the rest of it next week or as soon as I'm done with my current task at work. So many things to do, so little time.
August 5- The local fans had gone crazy with the news that the cast of "No Breathing" is going to film some scenes for the movie here in our city! Lee Jong Seok will be coming with Seo In Guk and the rest of the cast. Is this true? LET ME KNOW!!!
August 6: They are here!!! Let's prepare our stalking and camp out plan!
August 7: Damn! I forgot I have a seminar to attend. I was so ready to go and do my fangirl duties. Why are you scheduled today, seminar? WHY???
August 8: That moment when you have to choose between work and fangirling. SO SAD. Why do they need these reports now?
August 11: I'm depressed. So near yet so far. LEE JONG SEOK!!! T______T
August 13: The dusts had settled at work and I can finally go and fangirl. Wait... They left already!
August 15: I can watch whatever show I want after work hours. But I'm still depressed over what happened these past few days and watching the rest of I Hear Your Voice would be adding insult to injury.
August 16: Still not watching. Is Seo In Guk in Master's Sun? Are you mocking me, universe?
August 21: Shoot! I'm going watch I Hear Your Voice! What the hell. WHOEVER SAID BEING A DRAMA FAN IS EASY???!!! *hit play button*
...
I Hear Your Voice is awesome! Aside from the great cast, it has a compelling story of murder and revenge. It's borderline creepy at some point, but I like it. Ultimately, I like how they emphasized the importance of loyalty and forgiveness in a person's life.
Looking back, I'm glad I had the courage to watch the rest of I Hear Your Voice considering how I get so wrapped up with my fangirl thoughts sometimes. I may have failed to catch a glimpse of Lee Jong Seok in real life but I get to watch him in all his noona-loving glory on my computer screen! The hours I spent squealing over dreamy Su Ha is enough... for now.
P.S. Noona romance is legal! ^_^

I would like to win the I Hear Your Voice OST. This drama is the one of the few dramas to reel me in with just the first episode. Not only do we get the background story in the first episode, I also found myself rewatching scenes where the instrumental "Sea and Stars" was played. I don't know what it is about that instrumental, but it fits the drama so well. Its sort of dreamy/nostalgic and calming, but also powerful depending on the scene. I'm still obsessed with it and even set it as my ringtone.

Monstar OST please :D
I watched Monstar when it started airing but then went abroad, so had to take a break. I didn't finish the drama until just this past week. As stupid as it sounds, I would read dramabeans recaps for the next episode right after each episode I finished, just to see if it was worth staying up (i.e. lacking sleep) for. With each song that played in the drama, I searched for it on youtube to listen to it over and over again (One good thing from waiting for the drama to finish was that it became easier to find songs). I really enjoyed every single song and cover they had in this drama. I cried with each character, as their story unfolded, and rejoiced when they came together despite their emotional scars.
Finally, wanted to thank dramabeans for having this giveaway and for all the recaps and articles you guys post! :)

Monstar OST! I started watching this because I love musical dramas. Yes, I got burned with the Musical and What's Up (precious hours I'll never get back), but hey, I'm a masochist. I was a skeptic about whether Monstar can restore my faith in k-muscial dramas, and I was waiting to see all the cracks as the first episode began. I was pleasantly surprised by the pace but was still wearing my debbie downer hat. But then WHAM(!), the scene with Seyi and Kyudong, singing Lee Sora's "Wind is Blowing" blew (no pun intended) me away! I mean, who didn't get choked up in that scene?
This show had heart, humor, and good music. Would I say it's the best k-drama that I've seen or even rate it in top 10? Not really. But Monstar made me remember why I fell in love with k-dramas back in the late 90s - sweet narrative, focused on Korean "jeong" that is feeling of affection and a sense of bond, different from love, and an awesome OST. It made me remember those sweet early days of my k-drama addiction, and shows like Propose, Purity, Happy Together, Model, Sunflower, Tomato, Victory, Mr. Q, etc. that I still think of fondly. Nice memories.

I would like I Hear Your Voice soundtrack. It's most certainly not the first drama I watched, but it's definitely my favorite after a decade of watching korean dramas. In many dramas, I swoon over the male protagonists, men who are so devoted to the heroine. However, this is the first drama where I actually liked the guy with the girl. The writer created a beautiful relationship where they both save each other from different, but equally dangerous things.
I also love character growth and this drama had multiple. Jang Hyesung became a lawyer her mother (what a strong, righteous woman she was) would be proud of and Do yeon grew beautifully too. Of course the actress portrayed her perfectly. When she broke down in the bathroom and asked Hyesung to save her dad, and at the final episode, when she held her father's hand, I felt a tug in my heart. Also, Do Yeon said something that inspired me in real life: that that wasn't her. She worked incredibly hard to prove that she is better than that.
The writing was great and the music was phenomenonal. When SooHa got stabbed and that one soundtrack came on, it felt gut wrenching. When SooHa watched over Hyesung as she walked home that first time, the song showed the innocent side of his love. And when he regained his memory and embraced her from the back, and the acoustic version of Echo came out, it was just perfect.
Man, I loved this drama. It's the one drama I can watch every episode again and again.

I Hear Your Voice - what a helluva drama! I wasn't completely hooked during the first episode, mostly because I wasn't sure how I could get behind Hye-Sung as my heroine...but I was so happy to be proven wrong!! The cuteness was my crack but the emotional pull of the story kept me waiting impatiently week after week.
One of the drama's many winning components for me, besides LJS, is the music. I thought it hit all the emotional notes with ease and added the extra depth to the story to completely suck me into its world. I was already falling in love with this drama, but the added awesomeness of a well-done OST shoots it toward the top of my favorite dramas list. It'll be hard to top this one not only in 2013, but for a long while! Thank you ;)

I would absolutely love the Gu Family Book OST! I was sucked in from the very first episode in regards to the parent's storyline. Although, towards the end I was rather disappointed- especially with the shocking ending... Nevertheless, the music throughout the drama was a perfect match and a very enjoyable accompaniment, that I would be happy to listen to repeatedly- something I could do if I won this OST!

I'd like to win I HEAR YOUR VOICE OST..
I do love this drama very much, from the story, plot, actors and actress, writer, ost, and others (heheh can't tell with words). This drama was the third drama that i watched in 2013, after Flower Boy Next Door and Gu Family Book. Things differentiate those two drama and IHYV was that i can't skip some parts in this drama, like what i did in other two dramas. My mind was full of curiosity every weeks when it was airing, and when it was end, i felt both happy and sad as i remember how i waited each episode every week. There are so many things i learned in this drama, especially about "what actually happened in the court room", about what is truth and the important of lies. I like love story in this drama too (Park Soo ha and Jang Hye Sung), its just something unique and i love it.
And also thanks for Dramabeans for amazing recap :) Best drama of the year I think ^_^

I would be really glad to have Flower Boy Next Door CD,DVD and the photobook.
This drama was not only amusing and tickled my sense of humor perfectly, it also was a great inspiration.
The way Go Dok Mi lived was so similar to mine at that point in my life, I was lost, avoiding close contanct with people, because I was afraid of getting attached and hurt in the end. But the drama actually gave me courage to be my old self, to have some courage and reach out to people around me. Even now, sometimes, I rewatch the moments, when Go Dok Mi, wrote her book. It serves as a reminder to always try and not to lock myself out of the world.
I have rewatched Flower Boy Next Door countless times, I think by now I almost know it by heart. It made me smile, made me laugh and made me cry. The story itself was so engaging. I am even bugging my best friend to watch it ever since it started.
When I don't have time to rewatch everything, I just read your recaps, it makes it even more fun. :)
Lastly, even though my love for Park Shin Hye was already huge before this drama, I discovered Yoon Shi Yoon, whom I am following in projects ever since.
Overall, this drama as one of the rare ones that inspired me to the point, that it actually changed my life, so having something more as a reminder of that, would be great and I would be forever thankful.

I would love to win the Flower Boy Next Door OST, DVD and the photobook.
A few months back, I just got out of a bad relationship during which I lost a lot of friends. Out of fear that they did not even notice me being gone in their lives, I continued with my own life not bothering to reconnect with them. I started doing things on my own.. eating lunch in school, studying in the library. I had friends, but none of them I could really trust. I turned to my old addiction, kdrama. I admit that I stopped watching dramas for years. But even when everything was gone, kdramaland was there for me.
I started watching dramas again. I'd finish one every two days. The happiness and pain I should be feeling, I got from my favorite shows. Then I stumbled to Flower Boy Next Door. At first, I really hated Go Dok Mi. Why the hell would you shut yourself from the world? How does that even solve your problems? I realized though that I did the same thing. I thought I was happy because I had my shows. But really, I was just using them as an excuse not to go out with people and be TRULY happy. Then Enrique came into Dok Mi's life. I got jealous. Why can't I have someone like that to save me too? But then I saw, Enrique wasn't doing the saving. He was a tool, a vehicle that pushed Dok Mi to save herself.
So I thought I don't need an Enrique, I need to be my own hero. So I reconnected with my friends whom I thought I lost. Turns out they were just waiting for me to come back. I didn't lose them. And I can't be more happy now. I still re-watch FBND every time I miss it (which is quite a lot).
As a show, I love it because it has great characters. That's one of the main things that makes me love a drama so much. The growth of FBND's characters are so real that it just kicks you to the heart. Yes it kinda dragged the conflict in the last few episodes but I still love it because not only is it an awesome show, it also made me a better person. That's not every drama can do. I think that we all have a certain show that we feel like it was made for us. And I'm pretty sure that if there's such thing as a person's drama soulmate, FBND is mine.

*hairflip* Good afternoon, people-from-dramabeans-who-read-these-entry-posts. I'm writing this to tell you that I would NEOMU NEOMU NEOMU want the OST for I Hear Your Voice. I guess it would be kinda cause I fell into a one-sided obsessive fascination with it. It was just....SO GOOD. I feel like words are not enough to describe its amazingness and how much I LURVVVVV it. But I guess I can try.
From the hilarious little bits here-and-there to the long meaningful looks exchanged throughout the drama, I couldn't ask for anything better. Each person had his/her own backstory and I couldn't come to do anything but love them. The best example would be Seo Do-yeon.
In the beginning, I have to admit I especially despised Do-yeon. For cheating and then because her lies got Hyesung kicked out of freakin' high school. I don't think top colleges in Korea would be pleased to accept someone who got kicked out of school, regardless of reason. How could someone be sooooo irritating within the first episode? I couldn't see any way of ever liking her....
Nevertheless, I saw Do-yeon mature throughout the series (mostly toward the end) and later she became my fourth favorite female character of all time. I have to say the best scene of this drama was when Min Joon-gook was being questioned by Do-yeon for Hyesung's mom's death and he claimed that Soo-ha's father's death was a misunderstanding. Then she told him there were two witnesses to that "accident" and that she was one of them. That look on his face. HA. After that part, I was pretty much "WOOHOO BADASS DO-YEON FOR THE WIN!"
I guess she didn't change so much if you look at it. She still had that cold demeanor toward the general public (poor Lawyer Cha) and that love-hate relationship with Hyesung. But what I find amazing about her is that she was able to admit her mistakes and try to fix them (even if she should've done that ages ago). That kind of thing is really hard for anyone to do. Her "father" definitely didn't and he's a full-grown adult (with serious denial issues).
That's why I liked this drama so much, I suppose. Because these characters fought past what normal people would succumb to and shone. They found that tiny lightbulb in a dark room. So that's why I'd be honored to have the OST of I Hear Your Voice.
