Baby’s first award
by javabeans
girlfriday: Look, we got a shiny trophy!
javabeans: Dramabeans was chosen to receive a Dari Award this year, given out by the Korea Creative Content Agency (part of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism), for their 10 Year Commemorative Dari Award. We were surprised and super honored to be the recipient, and happy to share the news with you.
girlfriday: “Dari” means “bridge,” and the award honors businesses that spread Korean culture, promote creative content in the US, and bridge the culture gap.
javabeans: It’s really cool, because we feel like our work is just us doing what we like to do, and now people are giving us awards for doing it, and that sort of feels like we hit the jackpot.
girlfriday: We attended the ceremony last night and got to meet a lot of really cool people who work in the industry on the creative side of things. Mostly we thanked our mothers for raising us to be drama addicts, and we thanked all of you guys, our readers, for being such an awesome community.
javabeans: You couldn’t hear us say it, but we were super complimentary about you and said really nice things, I swear!
girlfriday: You would have cried if you heard our acceptance speech.
javabeans: Which explains why I’m in LA right now, and also why maybe somebody is slacking on her Pinocchio recaps…
girlfriday: I AM NOT slacking! *hiccup*
javabeans: But we’ll be back at work soon, once we stop staring at the shiny trophy.
girlfriday: And drinking our celebratory wine.
javabeans: That might take a while. Will it happen sooner if we drink faster?
girlfriday: I dunno, let’s try.
javabeans: Is there an award for that too? ‘Cause I think we could win that one.
girlfriday: Not yet, but until someone invents that award and gives it to us, we’ll just have to keep pushing Korean dramas down everyone’s throats.
javabeans: Back to work, missy! Recaps don’t write themselves.
girlfriday: DON’T I KNOW IT.

Congrats gals!
The work you're doing is appreciated by us all over the world! Being in Australia, I always feel isolated with my love for kdramas but being part of this site, even though I rarely post, has made me feel like part of a community. So thank you for all your hard work!

Actually it should be a bottle of soju or rice wine... if I didn't live in the National Forest surrounded by trees, but very few people and no Asian groceries. Your reach extends to the black bears and squirrels. (Now if I could only get them to watch Kdramas I could really "commune" with nature.)

Congratulations! I so so soooo very much enjoy your blog, and my morning wish is so often that you guys will have uploaded yet another of those infectious bantering dialogue posts...you know, the type where you each take turns saying something witty and wittier... Your efforts have counted for something even without the recognition, but even better with it! Great job, and please don't ever ever stop! : )

I think you deserve some recognition outside of the Korean Drama world, too.

Super proud of you guys and I think that this just the beginning. First the award, next - world domination!
Thanks so much for making Dramabeans the awesomeness it is today. I'm not great with words, so I can't adequately express what this site is to me.
But you guys are the reason that I'm hooked line and sinker, into the world kdramas. Even when I'm not actively watching anything, I still check db everyday and read recaps and random posts. It's great that there's a place where I can squee over the pretty and yet also read in depth character insights and get better understanding into the little nuances that get lost in translation.
Basically, thanks for fueling my addiction. You guys rock and I pray that we'll meet someday so I can scream and swoon in front of you like a crazed fangirl.
