"I like romantic comedies so much I even like the bad ones"..this! ME too omgg.
And now I 'have' to watch/finish shut up flower boy band! Glad to meet you javabeans! And a brown belt in taekwondo? Wow, I basically live in my underground watching kdramas, but have been itching to start karate, may be this will be the inspiration/ kick that I needed?

Quickly adds BooF.....Hoo to vocabulary from JYP life philosophy post!

It's nice to get to know our recappers better. After my schedule got so much more busy, I have relied on recaps for most of the dramas I never got to fully watch. So, this is a sincere thank you to each one you. It's nice to have this section since I always wondered why one would pick the avatar they did or chose the username they did. This is a great way to communicate with us beanies about yourselves.
P.S That's literally how I feel every time I'm at tae kwon do class. If I really needed to save myself, I probably wouldn't get very far with my tae kwon do skills either.

thanks for the opportunity to get to know more about team dramabeans! i will read them all~

Too good! I have always wanted to know about every recapper here. I even used to check for photos and videos of you guys.. got to see JB, GF, Heads & gummi.. ? Now that I got a peek into Sara's heart, looking forward to know about others too..!

Well nice to meet you, Javabeans! I like your taste :-).
Love this feature, get your spotlight, recappers and other DB heroes! ?

I didn't know I could adore you more, @javabeans, but here you go listing Wonderfalls as one of your fave TV shows and now I pledge allegiance to you forever.

Ah I always wanted to know more about the DB team so this new corner is much appreciated..

I wonder what is the hated show referred to in this mixture-

A teenage girl is attacked in front of her helpless boyfriend, gets a new face, and comes back years later with a newfound talent for songwriting and rallies her ragtag rocker friends to win the battle of the bands and score a record deal. The most violently traumatic feel-good underdog musical of the year.

I guess the favourite show is Shut Up Flower Boy Band :)

This is so interesting, thanks for sharing javabeans! I always come back here to read recaps of older dramas as I make my way through them. Even though I can't contribute to the discussion anymore, I still get a lot out of reading what you and other recappers thought way back when, and feel like I get to know your voices. And now I kind of want to watch that mutant baby drama.

awww.. can't wait to read the rest of dramabeans.

Yay for the Singin' in the Rain love! It was my absolute favorite film when I was a kid, which means I have watched it at least a hundred times and can still, to this day, quote most of the dialogue from memory. "Dignity! Always dignity!"

This is fun! Love the idea of getting to know you all especially since i joined the site a couple years back and haven't been here since the beginning. Though I'm trying to figure out which dramas spawned your violent/feel good musical??? Dream High? lost with the new face part lol

I have always lurked around dramabeans since BoF and this has been my go-to site for recaps. I have always enjoyed your recaps (and all your side comments - which I think makes the recaps unique). I must say that dramabeans have gone a long way since a decade ago and I am very happy about it! It won't be possible wothout our beloved "dictator-for-life".

Love this.

And Thank You for the introduction to the JYP life philosophy...Kool-Aide officially drunk. (though holy hell - that's some serious discipline)

Ooh, I really love this idea! Always wanted to know the recappers a little more, though the new DB made this easy, I would've never thought to ask some of these questins! Looking forward to know the rest!

"I have a brown belt in Taekwondo, broke boards with my fist, and have lost 100% of the sparring matches I have ever attempted"
This made me laugh really hard and about pride, I think that will be the death of me someday, that or wrath! LOL!

This is a good section. Pleasure to know you, JB. though somehow, with your writing and all your posts and podcasts, i feel like i know you really well. And the revelations shared here are just true to how i picture you in my head. Indeed, dramabeans is where it is, thanks to you. Looking forward to meeting the rest of the gang.

Me too with the taekwondo. I got a black belt but the only way I can beat someone up is if they're standing completely still.

I sometimes wonder if kdrama would be this big in the world if not for javabeans. Korea should pay her a commission!

Whoa, I just finished listening to the podcast and was thinking it would be so lovely to get to know more about you all, and I log in again and here it is! ?

Javabeans, I think many of us can relate to having a C-list type romance story with an unrequited crush with loads of angsty. ? So you're not alone!!

And I find it amazing that you know taekwondo! ??And I too loved Buki, and very much wanted to be a cool free-spirited person like her (still trying ?).

Thank you for this and everything you guys are doing for this site - you all are amazing! Will be looking forward to getting to know all of you ?

Yess, I would also like to be like Lee Yuri's character in Father is Strange, albeit less flawed. She's such a badass: self-contained, confident UUGH. I wish there were more characters like that in dramaland.
Lol to the incident with the KBS documentary PD.

Love this section, and I'm excited to know more about the dramabeans team.

Thanks for this new feature @javabeans!

I too find myself drawn to romantic comedies for the most part...save for City Hunter... and first found this site when I was trying to make heads or tails of BOF!

Can't wait to learn more about the DB staff!

Oooo! The cool, popular girl, Javabeans, is at the same party I'm at! (That's the vibe I'm getting.)
Great new site thread! I'm happy to get to know you all better.

Oh my God!! What an amazing question for the last... mutant baby drama...I just cant stop laughing?
But yes, this is a wonderful initiative to know the people behind dramabeans and looking forward to reading these in the future.... please fo keep such amazing questions though... baby mutant drama...lol

I like the last question and answer.

I can relate with the SUFBB feels. one thing is that it is personally relatable, another that there are lots of starting musicians trying to find their way. I have witnessed the progress of some of them through years and countless projects, all their insecurities etc so that felt like reality not a drama.

I love this idea! And I love you even more after reading this, Javabeans. <3 Concerning the last question: obviously the favorite drama is SUFBB, but what is the most hated drama? I need to know!

OMG. Wonderfalls!
(I have the DVD)

This is a great addition. ☺ its nice to know more about you. And looking forward the rest of your minion army.

For the record, I appreciate all the hardwork that you guys do. Thank you for this site that we can share our love for everything kdrama. You guys are wonderful.

"The most violently traumatic feel-good underdog musical of the year." LOL

Looking forward to the rest of this series and getting to know the rest of the Dramabeans recap team!

Wow! Hi @Javabeans nice to meet you. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Now that i've met you, more questions keep popping up. Whoa! I think iam getting too greedy, anyway thanks to you, iam able to keep up with kdrama world. Long live you.

Wow. That last one is intense.

@javabeans Why the Japanese major? And have you done anything with it?

I think that this staff spotlight is an awesome idea. It really helps to bring us all a little closer together. What with all the sci-fi I've read and watched, I was beginning to think that you all were really machines ;). You all have to be super human, that' s for sure :)!

What a neat feature! Thank you for sharing these details with us, javabeans!

As a dedicated reader/follower of Dramabeans, you do wonder who is working behind the scenes, watching the good and the bad together with all of us, recapping, and putting all the pieces together which make up this site ..... that brings us so much fun and joy.

It is a pleasure to know you and I look forward to knowing a little bit more about the rest of Team Dramabeans. Thanks for all you guys do!

@javabeans 30 rock is awesome,virtual hi5

I still remember how I stumbled upon your site while trying to find watching an episode of coffee prince,and since then I have been a regular 10 years and still going strong
Seriously Healer days were remarkable,the fandom was something

Cool is nice to know a bit more about the recappers.

"I like romantic comedies so much I even like the bad ones"
why is this so relatable

I can relate with the pride definitely. And I'm most curious about the japanese major. Why? How? How was it? Regrets?

Aaaaaaw...
I love Buki from 'The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry' too, because she's the only one who doesn't want to be married :-D
I mean, she loves herself, has great career, doing whatever she wants to do and also she's a supportive girl-friend, and cool with her girl-friends who wants to settle down

Oh man... WONDERFALLS. Every few years, I rewatch that one because I love it so much. Jaye was totally the type of heroine I love. Now that I think about it, Korea should remake it. The talking objects with animal faces was probably a bit too wacky for the US at the time, but we've seen crazier in dramas. It has the angst when Eric's wife comes back. Man, now I'm trying to cast it in my head. Ryu Jun Yeol is Eric (I'm casting a bit older... It's my drama, I do what I want). Now that I'm watching Fight My Way, I can see Kim Ji Won as a great Jaye. Or Kim Seul Gi! Yeah, Kim Seul Gi is perfect.

@javabeans So how often will dramabeans be doing the staff spotlight?

Okay, I got totally distracted and watched JYP's Healing Camp episode instead. I realized that I'm actually lazier than I thought I was.

Oooh, cool feature. It's nice to know more about DB recappers since DB has become a huge part of my life. It's nice to meet you, @javabeans.

"The woman who still wants to marry" was such a wonderful drama with relatable heroines in their 30s (and it is a soft spot of mine because this was when looking for more info on this drama that I found dramabeans).
I remember javabeans or girlfriday mentionned in one comment that she was not 34 (the heroines' age) yet but looking forward to be that cool. I was just 25 at the time and 34 seemed sooooo far off. But here I am, going on 33, single and in a professional slump, and being as much as a mess as these characters were!!! (But also having fun times and amazing friendships with strong-willed and supportive girlfriends!!! I still envy their clothes though...)
Anyway, congratulations on javabeans for running such a wonderful website: I can't imagine you'd pictured yourself running such a business 10 years ago, but as the "woman who still wants to marry" lead said, "we would have been crazy if we had known!!" ?

Singin' the rain and Lina Lamont <3

Thanks for letting us know more about you.

Awesome new feature! And it'd be fun if Beanies answered some of these same questions on their fan walls.

I find it amusing that someone who says, "Who needs people? Humbug." has managed to create a popular international forum that not only brings people together, but does so in a way that attracts remarkably high levels (compared with other websites) of goodwill, positivity, and camaraderie. (It reminds me of a cat I used to have who acted all aloof, but really was a big softie deep down.)

I'm horrible about asking for help, too, but it's something I want to work on.

Thanks JB! I love you!

I really like this segment! Thanks DB family for this idea. The first time I realize how many writers there were here was from the recent annual beanie award.
I look forward to getting to know more about each and every member of Team DB. *hwaiting*

Oh what a cool way of getting to know the DB staff members. I am looking forward to reading about the rest.

I'm planning on re-watching Coffee Prince, so I'll definitely go back to JB's recaps. I have not discovered DB way back then. Now I'm excited to read JB's thoughts since she mentioned it as the drama that solidified her satisfaction for recapping. DB has come a long long way for sure.
