hello,
I LOVE THIS SITE!
i feel connected with the people who enjoy watching Korean dramas. i really love Korean movies that i was able to find time watching the lengthy jumong even with a very heavy schedule. I'm a law student and a customer representative. I still wonder how i was able to find time to watch.
Thanks for making me smile today!

Thanx so much for all of the drama recaps, especially 'You're Beautiful'! I loved the series and came across your recaps - I love your opinions on the episodes! Keep up the good work...

Tk u for e interesting updates.
Now very sad & shocking to hear passing of Park from 'On Air''. May he rest in peace. :(

I LOVE YOU GUYS

...love this site so much... specially the recaps. And the drama ratings. even though we got to have different views on some kdoramas it's kind of interesting... i just hope you'd rate iljimae, I wonder why you rated return of iljimae and iljimae doesn't have one.
...^_^

Thank you very much for the recaps! I love them and they are very useful.
Please continue your hard work! =)

love this site! thank you for all the witty, insightful commentary. i took a two year break from k-dramas but am back with full force. here is to thousands of hours of lost productivity but endless happiness....:)

Dramabeans.com is one of my addictions :D I get too agitated when I am not able to visit everyday :D

THANK YOU!!!

Hehe. I get the Miss Moneypenny and Bond reference girlfriday is trying to make but I couldn't help but wonder...would the reference better be used as Miss Moneypenny to M rather than Bond?

Miss Moneypenny is actually M's secretary where as Bond's relationship with Miss Moneypenny is only flirtaciously passes before meeting with M.

Either way, I totally get what is being said.

I love your blog!!!! I came across it when I was scouting for You're Beautiful and I highly appreciate the episode by episode summary and analysis! It was like a time saver for me to 'rewatch' the entuire series again and have some sort of opinions on the plots, which I find very interesting! Thanks for the info on some terms like oppa, which I found really useful and recommendations on romcom...my type! Keep up the good work!!! =ppp

dramabeans rocks i cant help but go on your site everyday
not that its bad ^^. keep up the good work girls ^^

Thank you so much for your kdama news! It is sometimes hard to find good information in English and you site is my favorite source. Thank you for translating and for including links to the original source articles where you get your information. Because you include these, your articles can be used as authoritative sources to update Wikipedia or the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). Very valuable!

just want to say thank you to javabeans and girlfriday.

"thank you"

Your website is excellent! I just started getting into Korean dramas on a fluke after discovering them on Hulu last week, and I've already devoured "Boys Before Flowers" and "The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry" -- those two admittedly because I have a teensy little crush on Kim Bum. Lol. Anyway, keep up the great work!

I used to visit this blog way back before the world of viikii when we really needed recaps as we waited for subs. Your recaps (as well as other comments on soompi) were the reason I decided to watch Dal Ja's Spring (even though they extended it and that usually is the kiss of death for me) and that was a drama I really enjoyed. So thank you!

I stopped visiting this blog when Coffee Prince seemed to take over it and just visited from time to time. Anyway, Coffee House brought me back and I'm glad it did!

While I disagree with your assessments/analysis and ratings at least 50% of the time, I thoroughly enjoy the blog. Even if I don't read the recaps, the comments are usually entertaining so thanks to the commenters too.

Girlfriday is sarcastic and hilarious and I somehow think I've found a kindred sister in her (lol... don't freak out.)

Anyway, you've got a good thing going here so keep it up!

I just wanted to drop a note of appreciation and thank you for your blog. I hope it somehow pays $$ too cos you guys deserve it. Take care.

I've always been a regular (and avid) visitor in your blog but it will be my first to drop a note of gratitude and appreciation, and all I can say is...such patience, passion and hard work! I'm loving the reviews, recaps, and now dissection of pop culture as more often depicted in kdramas. Honestly, I check your posts first about an upcoming series before I decide to watch them online, and after watching, if I feel that it's worth downloading I'd do so ü thanks and keep it up!

thanks...
any people have GOONG recaps? or link goong recaps?

Thank you so much Javabeans and Girlfriday!
You are really appreciated. Continue the great job.
May God bless you always!

dear javabeans and girlfriday,

ardent admirer of your awesome posts. love. thanks for bringing a smile to my face everyday :)

just wanna ask,, uhmm..... where are u from?? i always open your site for updates because i'm also addicted to KOREAN dramas and most especially their artists!!! thanks!! hope 4 ur response.. more power!

I just want to say that I love this blog. I've been reading for most of the day and everything has been both entertaining and insightful (I think my favorite is the Oppa article but that's only hairs breath to others). I'm so glad there are people discussing dramas the way I do with unabashed love and a cocked eyebrow.

Keep doing what you're doing!

Dear Javabeans,

Thank you,

I love to watch kdramas... but i have 2 stop watchin them for the time being cause university started back sigh and its sooooo hard not to watch lol i'm dying here

hi

i m from Nepal and though Kdramas are very popular here it's just been a few months that i came to watch them, and now its my latest addiction- and i love it. And to add to that i got to know this site which is such a great and treasured discovery. really there is no other place for Kdramas and its lovers as this. love ur writings :))

thanks a lot for this, have found abundant joy and knowledge here.

regards

Just want to say, I LOVE YOU GUYS! I'm not Korean, so I rely on English subs, and sometimes I just don't understand culturally what's going on. I make inferences, but i love that you guys explain in English some of the Korean culture stuff that is pertinent to the story. GirlFriday, do you write for TelevisionWithoutPity? Your humor in recaps slays me (I've been reading Personal Taste), and seems familiar. Javabeans, I quite enjoy your comments at the end of recaps. Thanks so much for recapping kdramas in English, and bringing the love of Kdramas to the non-Korean world!

I enjoyed reading the "Noona" and Oppa" columns you wrote and would like to suggest that you consider doing one on "Aeygo". I hear it in Korean shows and read it mentioned in blogs but have no real understanding of what it actually means. Thanks!

i love you guys lol

Hey
i was wondering if boys over flowers 2 is even happening or not

waiting forever for updates

pls reply

what a great site! luv jdorama n kdrama....tq...tq.....tq

hello! thanks for the drama reviews i really love korean dramas and because i live in the philippines i can watch limited korean dramas... i can only watch it on the internet but sometimes it's hard to find video's with subtitle (i can only understand a little hanggul)... i only found out about this website, and since then i enjoyed reading your reviews... thank you very much for sharing... and i hope you will do a lot of reviews in the future... thanks again...

annyeong haseo (laugh if I made a mistake)...

well first of all I want to congratulate you for making a huge success on you blog site and wow it improves a lot.. I've always visit this when there are new kdrama that are being aired on the Philippine TV to read some reviews of a certain tittle. I just accidentally got to your site some 5 or 6 yrs ago when I reasearching about jewel of the palace and also that was that time that i got interested with kpop culture especially when coffee prince store #1 make a popular show on tv.

I wounder if you have a social networking site such as facebook,twitter,my space etc..just want to be friend.hahaha.

keep it up ^_^

Hi Javabeans and Girlfriday ^____^

THANK YOU! That is for making this blog. You guys are awesome! I love how you dissect each drama and all those great insights about Kpop. I'd been following this blog for a year. And this made my kdrama addiction notches higher I guess. It's my first time to post something in here :)... I discovered this site because of Jang Geun Suk, coz I'm quite a fan, haha. After I saw him from the movie Baby and Me just last year, (I think it was shown in Korea sometime in 2008) I'd began searching infos about his previous works and I stumbled on this site. If not for this site I wouldn't know that You're Beautiful was currently showing then in Korea. I started watching it from youtube and have it downloaded eventually. And reading you awesome recaps and all those comments kept it more interesting as I watch the series.

I'd been a Kdrama junkie since 2004, I usually wait for the Philippine Broadcast and most of them are quite old or finished a year ago, whatsoever. But now, I'm updated because of you. And also I started reading about your past recaps of other dramas, and I agree to most of your rants and raves (e.g. Kang Ji Wan is a great actor!). Most of your recapped dramas were not shown here. So I had searched for some dramas…

And I'm really looking forward for your Mary Stayed Out All Night recap ^__^ Keep up the good work ^__^

P.S., I'm also wondering if you have facebook or twitter.

I been a fan of your blog since last year,
But I wanna know,how you judge a good drama ?

i love korean drama and i love you two and your fantastic websitee....my life would have been hell without k drama and this website..

I've been a daily (actually, several times a day) visitor to this site ever since I found out about it. The recaps fill me in on details I missed and also help me understand cultural and language details that I wouldn't understand or pay attention to otherwise. This is also my go-to site for news about kdramas and actors/actresses.

Thank you for all of your hard work in providing the news and recaps and everything! I really, really wish someone would create a sister site for jdramas and such!

From the US and just recently stumbled upon your site. Really love it! I'm a fan now ^_^

hey i love dramabeans and log on to it almost everyday . i live in india and untill a year ago we used to get KBS world i loved k dramas ever since but then the channel got axed and i miss watching the dramas .your recaps are fantastic it makes up in some marginal way, i still miss da dramas but anyway thanks so much 4 ur recaps :)

Hi JB and GF,

Have either of you ever considered doing a (sort of) recap or review of an old drama that's never been featured on your site? (Maybe a favorite from five or 10 years ago?)

I am a Malaysian. I love korean dramas, my first was Autumn in my Heart! Thank you so much for providing the great reviews and recaps. Love what you have here! Keep up the good work!!

thanks a lot for wonderful drama recaps

Hi Java, I've been visited your blog couple years already and I love it :) I understand that you love Kdrama and write about them. But may I have one suggestion this time? Autumn Concerto (or the next stop of happiness). It's TW. Maybe you already watched but I really want to read what you think about that one.

Hi, girlfriday. I am a non Korean speaking fan of Sunkyunkwan scandal and I really appreciate the recap so that I can get more details from the English sub. Thank you for your efforts. Sunny greetings from Malaysia.

i just luv d recaps.i hav com 2 kno bout dis blog recently but i m already addicted 2 it ......................hope 2 get bout more dramas n i hav bcom 1 of d fans of korean dramas

Thank you for your genius!!! I am loving Dramabeans!
Especially the recaps of SKK, seriously witty writing! Again sheer genius! ^_^

I started watching Kdramas 2 years ago, while nursing my baby in the wee hours of the night. I started with He who can't marry, BBF, Coffee shop prince etc... got hooked, can't live without it anymore, addicted, at least a mere hour or so, a sniff, a giggle, the right fix :)
Ok, the Americans got their Glee, Modern Family, 30 Rock, True Blood, Dexter, Brothers and Sisters etc etc... but Kdrama is different, yeeeey asian!
It's like feeling like a teenager all over again...

I too am a kind of a money penny... Hot sexy mama by day ;) and a geekfest kdramalovin' in pyjamas by night :)

Keep up the good work...

!!!Fighting!!!

Hallo, JB and GF and all other recappers! Just wanted to let you guys know that all the recaps are deeply appreciated and treasured. You guys enlighten me regarding so many things in each episode that you recap.

BTW, is there going to be recaps for Secret Garden? Saw the Ep 1 raw and I'm hooked. Didn't realze that Hyun Bin was such eye candy until now! It's more interesting and natural, despite the impending body swap..kekeke..than Mary Stayed Out All Night and I can't wait for your input for this drama.

Hi
I just wanted to congratulate you on what is a fantastic site. Informative and excellently written -- keep up the good work!

Hi! I've only recently started watching korean drama, but I have to say that I'm loving the storylines!
I'm vietnamese so I do have to rely on the subtitles.
What I have noticed, though, is that at the beginning of the series, the subs are fantastic; easy to understand.
But towards the middle and the end of the series, the subtitles start to go haywire, with words I don't understand, and make no sense at all!!!
Just wanted to ask if you have any idea as to why, because I just get disappointed because I can't understand the storyline, just when the plot gets interesting!!!!
I also love love love your recaps, please keep them coming!

Oh my goodness. I finally found an intelligent site that responds to my guilty pleasure of watching the recently discovered k drama. I can't explain why this stuff speaks to me so forcefully. I have never been a tv or film buff and i stumbled onto Coffee Prince and Queen Seon Duk and fell down a deep, very deep rabbit hole. So to find someone who steps back to think about and explain this K phenomenon is so excellent. The summaries from Drama Fever and other sites is paltry, really demeaning of some of the great scripts and acting although I couldn't do without drama fever. So thank you for your great writing and sense of humor.
I have got it bad-including seeking out the Korean restaurants in my town and multiplying my daily intake of rice.

Hi, I love your blog. I came here several times a day just to check for new posts. I enjoyed it very much. Although i'm not good in English but i can understand most of your works.
I always watch your recaps first and sometimes i don't even watch the dramas. Right now, i really in love with secret garden and i want to share this fabulous drama with my friends here in Indonesia. So, may i translate your recaps and post it on my blog? i will link my post to your blog.
Thank you so much.....
