I don't understand these voting things bcse legend of the blue sea nd some dramas have nt even ended nd it's included in the list. Nd some other dramas lyk oh my venus nd others are nt included. Obviously people have to watch all the dramas to give a fair vote.
People here are voting nly fr dramas that ended long back nd it's obvious tht dramas will take the lead bcse many people have watched the dramas. Nt even fair.
Bt I know this is just fr fun nd our voted won't even count bcse according to popularity nd rating they are gonna decide.
Just a waste of time.

I don't even understand koreans drama rating because the dramas we like may have the least rating. The people from other parts of the world may love it bt in Korea they give it the least rating....

Why are there shows that haven't or won't finish in 2016? Show may be good now, but could be another "Cheese In the Trap.? Seems you should include them in the year that they conclude, not before finish, as we all know how a bad finish can ruin an otherwise great show.

Oh noooo! I thought to myself "I will finish watching those dramas that are still on my waiting list before db releases beanie awards so I won't repeat my mistake on the previous years (missed the good shows thus didn't even vote for them)." But again this year, db beats me to it. *brb while I'm crying bucket of tears* I will comeback and vote later when I'm done with a few more shows (or episodes) ㅠ.ㅠ

Signal was a great drama. It had me at the edge of my seat, screaming, heart pounding, oh my gosh! Five Children was awesome. I love how the leads complement each other. However, my favorite drama was Beautiful Mind. It had its flaws but it completely captured my heart. Jang Hyuk gave us a performance for the ages. I cannot imagine anyone else playing Dr Lee Young Oh. He gave life to this character; Dr Lee Young Oh flew off the pages, onto the screen, and into our hearts. He made you feel every emotion of this character even though he was diagnosed to have no emotions. What a performance? Bravo!!! Also, the entire cast was amazing. I love Wi-Fi couple. It shows that love does not have to start with fireworks. It can be sweet, innocent, something so unexpected. Finally, the scenes with Dr. Lee Young Oh and his father were so compelling. I just love this drama.

Honestly, while Park Hae Jin was totally cheated out of a lot of screen time in CITT, he still had some opportunities to give a great performance. The biggest waste of talent was seriously Ji Sung in Entertainer. He could've done so much better, but i understood that he might've wanted a less emotionally demanding role as he and his wife just had a daughter. But he was really too good for the drama, as much as I did mildly enjoy it. Lee Jun Ki was not cheated at all, Wang So as a character is probably every actor's dream, there's so much layers and complexity that you can play with and he portrayed it so fantastically well. He just got cheated by the rest of the production because the drama was directed, written and edited so poorly. =.=

I love this poll. The moment when I get to know this year gonna end. And I actually cracked up the amnesia one. For Seo In Guk had the best amnesia xD Seriously he is the only one did not annoyed me when he lost his memory. IDK why I hate when in dramas they potray the amnesia thing.But the way shopping king louis did it I can say he is the best ♡♡♡

I think it'll be nice if we had a segment also to vote for the best OST song in a drama What do you guys think? To me OSTs are very important because the right song sells the right scene straight to the heart
Who can forget that instrumental piece from 'Healer' whenever something intense was happening? ( After i finished healer,i got serious palpitations when i heard that song) or 'once again' from DOTS and how can i forget auditory hallucinations from KMHM???
It'll be nice to vote on the best OST song for the year. What do we say? Any support anyone?
*fingers crossed that someone thinks as i do ???

I was really hoping to see Six flying dragons on here....I mean it ended in 2016 as well. Dramas like LOTBS, weightlifting fairy & guembi haven't even finished yet they r part of the yearly drama, then at least add Goblin on the best bromance lol

Why isn't Page Turner listed for drama of the year? It clearly was one of the best - well-rounded characters, tear-inducing scenes and satisfactory ending.

Moon lovers and W are winning the polls. Mmhm kind of sad for signal, dear my friends also doesn't get any love. At least Age of youth seems to be winning but it's getting very close, maybe it's going to loose in the end.

I think I would have preferred a system where we all can vote just once but change our vote in the time frame given.

Well, for what it's worth, Moon Lovers doubled in votes within 24 hours just a few days ago (in one category, it shot from 7% to 14%). This leads me to believe that certain passionate fans cheated the system, but oh well. Guess I'll just have to be happy with Age of Youth's & Jealousy Incarnate's wins in the categories that lack those popular dramas.

Signal was winning the Favorite Drama category before the sudden jump from Moon Lovers, btw.

I agreed. Some very passionate fans out there. Not me though okay because if I know how to, I might be tempted to cheat also. lol

Lol watching Ghost ruined me for things like this (although it popped up gain in Entertainer, I want to say), but I still find them fun. I just take it with a grain and keep voting for my choices. ^^ I'll laugh if another one overtakes Moonlovers despite their boost.

If they hadn't been so obvious about it, then I could have remained blissfully ignorant. But Moon Lovers suddenly got more votes in one day than it had in a whole week of the polls being open. Sorry, but that's just ridiculously suspicious.

Doesn't matter though. This is all just for fun :) And, if anything, this win is indicative of the passion this show inspires in its fans and that means something. It's just that Moon Lovers was already doing fairly well in the polls, despite not winning many of them. It was actually beating many of my favs already and I was happy to concede that my picks weren't as popular. So I'm just disappointed that they had to stoop to rigging it.

Is it just me or is Moon Lovers suddenly leading in favorite drama and other polls? Just the other day, Signal seemed to be winning but Moon Lovers overtook by more than a thousand votes??? Also for favorite character?? And other polls?? What is happening??? Seems to me that the polls has been rigged by very passionate fans or they kept on voting again and again...

Oh well, it would be ironic though if Moon Lovers won as favorite drama but also won as most disappointing drama haha

The fact that Scarlet Heart is leading in almost all of the categories just pisses me off. Am I the only one who doesn't love the drama?? I mean I watched it each week (mainly for my blind love for Kang Ha Neul) but the drama was badly executed and the storyline was all over the place. Sure, it was a decent drama, but drama of the year? Really??

@angularangst Sorry to disappoint you but MLSHR is the best drama I've seen in my almost a decade of watching Kdrama. This is drama which is a breakaway from those typical kdrama with too many flashbacks that drags the story. MLover has the best pacing. Maybe too fast for others but I love it to bits. It's a the drama that I don't mind repeating multiple times.

If you are KHN fan, you should be happy. It's a drama that pushes his ability. He hasn't been in a first lead before, thru this drama, I am sure he can find a drama as a serious actor. I find KHN as a serious actor and I don't think he is someone who would settle in a rom-com. He has done really well in Moon Lovers.

As much as i totally love the year-end wrap up and voting of our favorite dramas, it just doesn't make sense to include dramas that haven't finished yet here. There are scenes and characters (and kisses) that deserve a spot in the popularity votes and just won't because the episodes are still running..eg. Weightlifting fairy and Legend of the Blue Sea
And what is most bothersome is the usual non-inclusion of Lee Min Ho for the show and what he's been able to do better than some of the actors in the voting list. No BeAnies for him ever here, why o why!

The kiss thing got me too. I haven't seen the ones in WFKBJ but that "thought-stopping" kiss was basically on par with the "handcuff" kiss

I only saw 2 categories that he could have been in but isn't - Alternate Pair & Best Character.

Yes Heo Joon Jae could be up for BC. But I wouldn't vote for him & Si-ah AP. Eww! Ekkkk!

Lee Min Ho is present on the polls just as much as anyone else. More than Nam Ji Hyun and Kim Yoojung. I feel bad for Yoojung looking at this list.

@Purple Owl
"The kiss thing got me too. I haven’t seen the ones in WFKBJ but that “thought-stopping” kiss was basically on par with the “handcuff” kiss"

Exactly my thoughts! i would vote these 2 in the top with eyes (or lips) closed ;)
And not having Dam Ryeung/Joon Jae in Best Character list is a bummer!

I am catching up with WFKBJ so can't comment much but the chemistry really works with Kim Bok Joo and Jung Joon Hyung. They are already in many categories so that's a good thing but it's not fair to club them with finished dramas. I know they have already clarified why Goblin is not in the list but it can be debated.

"Yes Heo Joon Jae could be up for BC. But I wouldn’t vote for him & Si-ah AP. Eww! Ekkkk!"
Noooooo ..... kkkkk! More like Si Ah with Tae Oh? It's getting comical by the minute !

Eh, the poll was clearly rigged. I'd have believed Moon Lovers winning in its categories, if the obvious cheating hadn't been so ... obvious. 10.000 votes more than the other dramas (compared to all categories) ????? Cheating takes the fun out of polls like this :/

We were allowed to vote once a day. I dunno about you but I voted only a few times, and most people probably voted only once - it takes time to get through the list! Seems to me the huge stat difference doesn't show the poll was rigged but that Moon Lovers has a very devoted fan base who likely voted every day! Which I already knew, so the results don't surprise me.
