I discovered this website in 2009 to feed my Boys Over Flowers addiction and I remained a lurker ever since! I only started commenting this year so I amazed to realize that I've been following this site for 8 years! :o

Thank you very much! This site is a gem on the internet so thank you for working hard to put out consistent quality content. Happy happy 10 years anniversary!

With much love from the Philippines <3 Hope you guys have a great time at the party.

Congratulations Dramabeans!! You are the best drama review site. Really!! Hope you can run for another decade..

Congratulations to the DB staffers. I really wish I was on the right side of the Atlantic in February for the celebration/festivities xx

Congratulations. I'm following you about 3 years. I'm sure you get a good time at ceremony, I am interested to be there but for me it's very far

Congratulations Dramabeans and more power!!! I've been your reader since you first started and i got hooked with your writing style ever since Coffee Prince.

Keep the fire of writing aflame. Here's to the next 10 years.

I found your site when I was in 3rd year highschool which was 2008. I was looking for the soundtrack of Coffee Prince. Mehehe. I honestly can't thank you enough for all the years you've provided us with so much more than just recaps and drama news. You've been my little repreive when college life was too much to deal with. My little nook in the internet where I can indulge my kdrama addiction when work life is draining me. You've helped so much thru the years and for that you have my eternal gratitude ladies. From being a teenager who was slightly obssessed with Gong Yoo to a full pledge part of the "adults" (and still obsessing over Gong Yoo).... Thank you for being there for me

Congratulations! I've been reading this site since 2010ish. Enjoyed feeding my kdrama monster through you.

Oooh!! Firstly, my CONGRATULATIONS to Dramabeans, mainly to Javabeans and Girlfriday and the rest of the staff who's been feeding us non-stop of Kdramas and whatnots just to satisfy our addiction. 10 years is no joke and kudos to everyone in regard to this! I hope you guys give prizes just like in the previous year you've celebrated your anniversary.

Congrats!!! I know it must take a ton of work to write about something you love and publish it for the world to see consistently. I have learned a ton from the Dramabeans family over the years. Happy 10th Birthday!

Anyone want to meet up in Washington,D.C.? I'll organize!

I had my daughter in January 2007. Beanies started at that time too. I will celebrate my daughter b day with all the beanies.

Hello!

Congratulations on 10 years! Wow, I still remember reading your recaps / translations in the soompi forums over 10 years ago and then coming here when you started the site!

Are you the 2nd longest Korean entertainment site after soompi?

I've been coming here since you've started! I love reading about the Korean language / culture nuances that straight translations miss. May you have another 10 years and another 10 years for many years to come!

Congratulations to the amazing DB team, you guys do a great job by giving us the recaps and news about our favorite actors and upcoming shows.

I'm from South America, Venezuela, and I started watching kdramas since 2012 with Stairway to heaven (on national tv) and then started looking for another i youtube and the snow ball turned huge. I stumbled into this blog and I'm a fan and reader since then, I loved your recaps, they're funny and you complete my thoughts about scenes and dramas. One of my favorite recaps is Big's last episode. You guys read my mind and while watching City Hunter you and beanies helped me confirm that I was not crazy nor alone and that CH was awesome...

Keep doing that amazing jod and let's hope for many years more

WOW, 10 years already?! I've been following you guys for almost the whole time - I remember when it was just lonely javabeans! I'm so glad to see that the site has thrived and that the love of kdrama has gone global. Thank you so much to javabeans and all of the recappers and contributors for putting in the time, effort, and hard work to keep this site running. Reading your commentary makes the viewing experience even more fun (or tolerable with certain drams).

I'm sorry to miss the party, but major CONGRATULATIONS on your success and longevity, and all the best for the new year!!

It's been over 10 years already dear Javabeans, I don't think you would remember me ^^ Been following you for a long time ^^ The Kdrama landscape has evolved plenty from WithS2, Aja-Aja subbers downloaders Jisubaddicts left good memories.... ah I get melancholic thinking about the people I have met and lost contact...., Thanks for all you and GFriday and your entire team have done for us K-drama fans *bows*. You do not need any cuppa any more, your site has grown by leaps and bounds.. and a core English Lingo HQ Central from for any k-dramafan worth their salt. Truly Congratulations! Cannot imagine my life without visits to Dramabeans ...

Mani Mani Kumapta,

With much love always, Kiongna ..... Saranghe

daebak!! it's been 10 years already. Congratulations girlfriday and javabeans and the rest of the team! been lurking around since 2008.

Congratulations Dramabeans!How I wish I could come and join you guys on February 11. Please post some pictures so that at least I can still see the fun. Haha! Good luck!!

Hi - gosh 10 years already, makes me think of two things. 1) i discovered you so very early on, since i've been visiting this site since 2008. 2) wow i am getting old!

Thank you for always being consistent, fun and a giving me insight to the drama's that i watch as a non-korean. Your recaps help me understand cultural references adding a layer to many drama's i wouldn't get without them and making the drama's even more interesting/funny/sad. You were right 2016 was a great year for drama's, i've started watching them again after a couple years off

Anyway - to another 10 more years! xx

As an OG ? ..though mostly a silent reader here, I want to sincerely congratulate this website on your 10th year anniversary!

Especicually to you @javaveans, I've been a reader since 2007 when I was looking for more episode recaps of Dal Ja's Spring (still one of my favorite dramas btw)! You've fully expanded, from just javabeans.com to more writers and a larger recap audience. Kudos to @girlfriday as well whose witty recapping is my favorite along with javabeans.

I was in and out of drama land for a couple years, until Park Bo Gums and Kim Yoo Jungs Love in the Moonlight caught my heart again (side note: when did I become a noona sighh) yet this website continues to grow even when some drama years are pure blah. So again, wishing blessings and really good dramas for 2017 to recap this year!

Congratulations! Many, many thanks for all you've done *makes heart-arms in your general direction!*

Happy !0th year anniversary! Started watching and being addicted to Korean Drama 5 years ago that's also the same time I stumbled on Dramabeans and have been a follower since then. Just started commenting lately because I know that my comments will be respected and most of the followers are decent, peace loving and mature people. We may differ in our opinions but our common bond that hold us together is our love for Korean Drama!

A Happy Blessed New Year to everyone!

Congratulations Dramabeans!

I can't believe its been 10 years already! I've been reading the site for that long! I still remember logging onto my huge clunky PC to watch Coffee Prince and then stumbling across this very website afterwards. I remembering wanting to know more about societal context and just wanted to read more discussion other than what was on Soompi, and Dramabeans gave me just what I was looking for. To think - I was in my last of primary school then, kept up with db throughout all highschool and uni (Dramas are my happy place to de-stress, I've found) and now I'm out in the big wide world of adulthood and working. Crazy how time flies.

Thankyou Javabeans & Girlfriday and the whole DB team for making this site what is and continuing to maintain it to such a high standard. You're doing the good work, and I appreciate it so much!

I've only been around your 7 out of 10 years, since Pasta, however I feel we're family here.

Love ya, Babes!! Congrats to 10th. Wondering if I can make it to celebrate with you dolls....

Thank you so much for tonight's gathering and your work on this website Java Beans and staff. It was wonderful to meet all friendly DB staff and enjoy your hospitality. We got to meet fellow beanies and feel the awesomeness of this community that you've created. We look forward to the new website too. James, Lolly Pop, gummimochi, and Cherkell were a joy to chat with. The food was delicious. The photobooth and games were a hoot. Loved the floating pictures and goodie bags. Everyone went home with something and a huge smile on our faces. Awesome anniversary party!

Wow I can't believe its been 10 years since dramabeans began. That means I have been watching kdramas for almost 8 years.(lol I feel so old now). However I just wanted to say thank you to all the dramabeans team members. You have always been my go to place to get a deeper understanding into the kdrama shows that have left me confused either due to cultural differences or just odd endings ^_^ I hope that the dramabeans community continues to grow and provide a helping hand for people like me and also a platform for kdrama lovers to discuss and critique the shows we hold dear to our hearts.

Happy Anniversary

Wow, Awesome!

Happy Anniversary!!!

I'm a regular reader of this site -yes I was (am) that typical silent reader- but I think I need to pop a comment right now to let you know that I am beyond grateful for all your posts (and wisdom) all these years.

The discussions are great, the commentaries are eye opening, and I've learned so much about Korean cultures from you guys.

Keep up the good work. Thank You!!!
