Shame Ad Genius or God of the Workplace/Queen of Office isn't even a contender.

dont know why my vote for "WHEN A MAN LOVES" for fave drama is NOT REGISTERED????..
it shows 0% all the time

Too Weeks is the best Drama of this year (my opinion) I saw it two times all of the actors in the drama was done a great job. Thanks for a good Drama :)

Is it just me, or has this year in K-dramaland been fairly disappointing? At the end of the year, I am usually able to name 3 to 4 dramas that are either good or at least highly addictive. This year I'm really struggling to name more than 2.:( Master's Sun managed to hold my attention/interest longer than the rest. I have to acknowledge that it had a lot of weaknesses and some WTF moments, but as a romcom it worked (for me). Some dramas had promise, which then fizzled out very quickly, whereas others were just disappointing from the start. This is all IMHO, of course, but if anyone feels the same, do let me know.

LOVE IT. So many great laughs.

Wish there would have been a best & worst parents category. Mine would have been:

Best-Mom from I Hear Your Voice
Worst-Mom from You're the Best Lee Soon Shin

The Best Actor Of the YEAR (Top 3) :
--> CHOI JIN HYUK !
--> So Ji Sub
--> Kim Woo Bin ;)

I died at Nickelback Jesus hahaha

Wish we'd been given more than one option to check for the last question though. I wanted to check almost all of them ha

All in all I gotta say 2013 was a disappointing year. Hopefully next year will be promising.

I laughed so badd for mane of shame/glory categories.

I'm soooooooooooo relieved Pretty Man didn't make the cut.

This post motivates me to watch some past shows that I've missed.

THANK YOU WONDER GIRLS! ;)

it's my first time seeing this "beanie awards voting" and there's something I don't like about it!

Please add Scandal on most favorite drama series 2013. Among other dramas listed which i also like. I think Scandal is one of the best.

why only a few King's Family in the categories? :( King's Family is REALLY nice! it would have been great if dramabeans made reviews of this drama. Probably much better than the previous family drama, you're the best lee soonshin.. just saying...

I do wish Alice In Cheongdamdong's Seung-jo would have been up for Best Character. That drama may have had a lot of flaws, but Park Shi Hoo's performance is still one of my favorites. If nothing else, can't he have an award for best dancing?

ouchhhh..really hard to choose amongst Nine, Master's Sun and Secret >.<
Don't involve them in the same vote...

I wonder everyone who said that this year is disappointed year or people who said there is no one interesting kdrama this year, are they really watch enough genre drama to give a judgement like that? You can give opinion but to say something like there is no great drama or this year is bad, it’s not just an opinion anymore, more like you give judgement which you’ve watched at least 60% from total kdrama aired in this year, then you can really give your judgement! Isnt???

for kdrama that airing in 2013, I am only watch this : TWTWB, cruel city/heartless city, monstar, the queen’s classroom, master’s sun, secret and few eps of yawang /queen of ambition. I cant say if this year better than last year, but for me this year is definitely much more interesting since I got to watched many different genre with refreshing plot than ever. Compare to another year, this year is one of my most favorite, all of dramas I watched have good quality and proud of them.

Sometime drama you watch, tough you like or even love it, dont have good or satisfy quality (writing, acting, directing, music, and else), but this year I cant say I am satisfy with the dramas I watched and I love.

Cruel city is definitely one of the best drama of the year, the weakness is the lead female, dont know if it’s writer or actress’s fault (I like NGR btw), and the final (I dont hate the final but it’s felt kinda weak for me compare to the beginning). Parksa adeul or dr. Son or jung shi hyun is best character too for, as well as, jung kyung ho win best actor in my book.

Master’s sun is absolutely my most favorite drama of the year, funnily, opposite with cruel city. The beginning isnt that really strong but as you watching ep by ep, it’s become strong and the ending is just full of wonderful feeling :D I’ve watched many drama about love and shipped some OTPs too, but master’s sun is the first drama that I felt like I am watching a real story love between GHJ n SJS :D

The more I rewatch master’s sun, the more I got feeling that they acted for real....  so that I falling in love so hard with this drama, they give me wonderful feeling, the pure and genuine happiness, so natural and realistic, that I dont think I cant love another drama more than master’s sun :D

JB and GF, thanks for this poll, I enjoyed reading your descriptions for every nominations, but kinda disappoint there is no Cruel City/heartless city in bess kiss category, I really think it’s best kiss scene this year in all dramas I’ve watched but well, I am happy to see Ms’s lead tough the kiss isnt that intimate or passionate but for sure, the feelings is strong, genuine and touching...

Kinda difficult for to decide best villain that fun to hate, I love and hate at same time the villains in Secret and Heartless City! Damn, their acting is so good and they are gray, not totally black! But well, maybe they arent that fun to hate T-T but why the pic of teacher ma is there while she isnt one of nominations?

And seeing those drama nominated for underrated, I feel sad for them, they’re great drama, tough I dont watch them all, I am agree most of them specially “the end of the world” are deserve to get more appreciations 

Happy to see my Shim Ha Na from The queen of classroom is nominated for breakthrough perfomance, tough she dont get high vote, still I am happy she get nomination :D

Kinda sad you didnt include Tae Gong Shil in category of favorite character... She is so different than most...

The side comments after the drama titles are making my day...LOL! Thanks for the laughs guys!

sorry, my comment is too long...

Kinda sad you didnt include Tae Gong Shil in category of favorite character… She is so different than most of kdrama heroine. Adore Gong Hyo JIn for portrayed her incredibly. I adore many great actresses in korea but I dont think there will be better actress than GHJ to portrayed TGS as awesome as her. Best acting performance by female actress in my book for this year.

A little sad seeing “little sun” dont get highest vote in any category she is nominated  but well.. I shouldnt complain too much since MS has gotten much love here... and cant wait to see the final result! All of DB’s writers, fighting!!!

I just love this time of the year.
This poll lets me catch on to the dramas that have missed and remember the ones that i have watched with fond memories.
love your comments beside the options.They are way too HILARIOUS *falls of the chair laughing*

seems like Master's sun, heirs, Reply 1994 and I hear your voice are the top contenders for most Beanie awards..love all of them apart form Heirs..:D

Heirs is the worse drama of 2013,talking about bad writing and bad acting and lee min ho is just to overrated as n actor.

LOL--these polls had me laughing so hard tears came to my eyes! You guys are hilarious (I suspect that's why everyone enjoys hanging out here so much).

I was surprised with some of the results though. I never would have guessed Master's Sun over I Hear Your Voice. Very interesting. Hrm. Personally, I think IHYV was a better overall drama than MS--only because it was more consistent. MS kind of went off the rails a bit at the end there (thanks, weird extension!), and IHYV remained focused and fairly tightly plotted despite the extension.

Also surprised more props weren't given to Monstar, that was a consistent drama through and through.

And I can't believe Nail Shop Paris even got a mention on any of these polls. That should have its own category: Most WTF ending to an otherwise boring drama.

Why is Mirae not in the most disappointing drama of the year? I'd have totally vote for it! lol..

Too bad, Empress Ki is not in my favorite drama category list..although, only 12 episodes out but it is still so far one of the best drama of the year imo.

Still hoping for Eun sang and Young Do.

Dont know why but aww Young Do so cute when hes in love <3 xD

Daebak this poll!!
Loved your comments next to each category!! Thanks for your hard work :)

Didn't watch all the nominees for Favourite Dramas, but of those I've watched...these are my favourites, in chronological order....
1. School 2013
2. I Hear Your Voice
3. The Master's Sun

School 2013 - love the bromance...didn't expect 2 guys breaking up and making up to reduce me to tears so much...I want to eat ramyun too...

I Hear Your Voice - love the puppy love...laugh-out-loud moments at female lead antics, giggle at puppy's adoration, warm fuzzies and tears with Best Mom ever...

The Master's Sun - love the sizzling chemistry...oh who am I kidding...love SJS...love SJS...love SJS

How about "Missing You"?

ok done voting. Thanks for doing this every year and it inspire me to do the same for my blog too. anyway, just realised that i don't watch many dramas this year or it don't listed on the poll.

This was the most fun polls that I have done this year! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by!

Who Are You is really underrated. It's a really cute and funny drama, not to mention the two very attractive male leads. You guys should watch it!

I just have a question ... why is favorite character a one answer question ? Sériously ? How can I choose, and not feel like I'm dying inside, between Park Soo Ha, Go Nam Soon, Jung Shi Hyun, Joong Won and Bo Na ?? XD
Dying there !!!

As usual, I just laughed to death reading the lines. Thanks for always making us laugh ! :D

It feels like yesterday when I voted for 2012 year end. OMG That mane of glory! HAHAHAHAHAHHA. I laughed so hard at the "Heirs: Love is the mooooomeeeennnntttt" And I still can't vote for the favourite secondary couple. Can't choose between Samcheonpo-Yoonji and Bona-Chanyoung. T^T Why do you do this to me??

First and foremost, KUDOS for javabeans making all the list freaking funny to go through and can't help myself to keep scrolling down to vote each category, simply to read all those wittiness. Haha!

The best one this year:
Master's Sun
I Hear Your Voice
Dating Agency Cyrano

similarities: lots of cameos & helping people...and i love it!!!

Very surprised that Master's Sun was this popular in reflection to the results. While it was a slightly cute and had the rom-com element played well, the story lost its initial spark and the drama kind of died down at the end.

I find it hilarious, however, that Heirs is leading in so many categories yet winning so much for most overrated drama haha

LOL at "perm of shame" for Yoon Eun Hye. I personally loved the perm, but I still had to laugh.

Omg... The mane of shame section had me burst into laughter! Haha

I want to click my vote for Secretary Kim....only he doesn't belong to any category. Ahjussi / cupid / best secretary ever i love u!

I love this time of year! There are still so many dramas I need to watch though. The top 3 on my 'To-Do' list includes Heartless City, Master's Sun, and Empress Ki.

Of the dramas I did see, The Suspicious Housekeeper, Can We Get Married, and That Winter, The Wind Blows were my faves.

Heirs was a hot-mess! I watched 3 episodes of and that was plenty for me. Same old, same old. I am not a Lee Min Ho fan girl, but I do think he is a superb actor. Sadly, he has made some questionable choices since the AMAZING City Hunter and I really hope he gets his shit together. LMH is so much better than Heirs, the poor man's Boys Over Flower and biggest disappointment of the year BY FAR as far as I'm concerned.

Best k-drama of the year for me was The Suspicious Housekeeper. It's not often you see a drama with a such a compelling, truly ORIGINAL story line and great performances by everyone. Korea has the greatest child actors in the universe and Choi Ji Woo has never been better. In my opinion, The Suspicious Housekeeper is one of the all-time greats. LOVED IT!

how to vote?

@javabeans:

A correction is in order for Most Dysfunctional Relationship:
SECRET: "Why does it hurt ME more when I hit her?"

I don't believe there was any hitting of the main female character, Yoo-Jung. Unless you're referring to the beatdown she got on her first day in prison. I doubt you were referring to the 2nd lead character Se-Yeon, who was hit by her (unseen) politician father.

Shouldn't it be?: "Why does it hurt ME more when I see my substitute driver hurting?"

I voted Jang Ok Jang for the most underrated drama. I mean one can even see from the lack of mention here that it really deserves much more attention given the awesome performance by Yoon Ah In and Kim Tae Hee.

The entire drama speaks of a lot of emotional war and they both really nailed it for their first sageuk. I guess becos it's sageuk that's why people choose to skip it. I'm not a historical drama person but somehow JOJ managed to keep me watching till the end. I was pretty amazed by the chemistry between them, especially Yoon Ah In given his previous projects wasn't even this challenging. Thumbs up for JOJ for those hesitating, watch it! u ,ight just be surprised!

Popular drama always not good drama. Started watching Heirs 2 day back and finished it. All i can say its as bland drama as it can get. Beginning few episode good then went to bland mode.

Except Looking at PSH , this drama is waste of money , time...bad is director and story telling.

I see all the drama in this year , I think seriously all dramas are bad. It is about pick your best out of all bad ones. Kong Hyo-Jin can act with ugly face. Greatest love was success even she was lead actress meaning she can hold one end with just acting alone. But i am watching for lead actress cuteness and charm.

I was expecting lot from heirs with PSH leading..but rest of story cast , direction writing is bland.

Flowboy next door should have more peeping ... lead actor failed to impress is one of the flaw there.

I have not watched one historical drama because i find production quality and acting in those drama is abysmal and awful. Its because it cost lot to make historical drama.

2013 bad year for k drama.

After going through the favourite character section I thought that was the male one and there would be a separate women poll. Guess not.
I've got to say I'm really disappointed in Dramabeans' obvious male bias. Two characters for one male actor? You seriously couldn't fit more women in there? The most obvious one being Jang Hye Sung being omitted for Par Su Ha (played by Jong Suk who has another character of his nominated..)

I would like to See OST award for each year. Reason being thats best way to find good OST. Music taste is different from people to people. i like uptempo happy song. As i do not undertsand korean language , its more about tune and voice which has good contrast.

My OST list so far
1. Hotstuff ( DAVICHI)
2. Always - TREE BICYCLE
3. Never say goodbye - Nesty & mario
4. Oon Myung Eh Jang Nan by MC Jinri feat. HaHa
5. Moonlight - W&Whale

There are many ..these are few comes to mind so far. My interest is uptempo with clean music...

let me know if anyone have similar OST
