First, I'm humbled by your expertise and depth of knowledge in Korean films, I thought I was fairly well antiquated but You far surpass me. I only have Netflix and Youtube for Korean Subtitled films ( personally much prefer sub than dub). Do you know of other sources for Korean sub'd (or dubbed) films? Thank You again,

Can you recap the Goong/Princess Hours? Pls.

Just wanted to drop a nice compliment about this site,
I'm new to the whole Korean drama fan club but I have found this site to be exactly what I needed.
the recaps are excellent; I laugh, I cry, and I continually come back for more.
great job helping newbies like me :)

Hi am from Uganda and a great fan of Korean dramas...Thank you so much for this page....May the Almighty God enlarge your territory

I am from India, very recently I started watching K-Drama started with Faith, thereafter I have watched 6 more dramas.
Virtually I have stopped watching TV series being brodacasted in India. I found dramabeans very helpful specifically for initial 2/3 episodes. Watching then going through the recaps helped a lot to synchronize. Thanks for the good work, keep it up.

i've been actively using dramabeans about a year now, and your hilarious and highly analytical posts have finally inspired me to make my own blog.

Please check it out guys: http://dramamunchies.wordpress.com.

btw, this is not just an endorsement comment. I honestly do believe dramabeans is the best 'drama digest' (if you will) out there and I hope you guys never stop blogging.

Oh my god! i didn't know there were other Indians hooked into kdrama:) i know kinda stupid of me. Now i'm so happy! i can't watch Indian television these days, because i always expect piggyback rides and wrist grabs *wink*

I just found your intro, made me smile...thanks. My first drama was Goong.

I just found this now. I'm looking for I am Sam recaps. I love kdramas. My first one was jewel in the palace but when i watched boys before flowers, i started watching a lot of korean dramas. Let me just say that Lee min ho is a great actor. Wow, you're indian. I did'nt even notice until you saw this.

yobosayo chingu.. love love korean drama..

I love K-dramas! I am american live in america I was in the Army for 5 years and thats when I started watching them because of my friend who is practically obsessed with all the male singers. I used to only watch Indian movies and Japanese anime but started to branch out a little more when I met her. I picked up on the language and know alittle. My first drama was Boys over Flowers after that I have no clue cause I started watching so many at once I lost track.

im sorry to say you dont sound left wing at all
if you are considered left, your country is an extremely right wing country
or else you find left wing and feminism on opposite sides of the political spectrum

does any of your colleges agree with your description of yourself?

Yeh i am also from India and happy to know that many Indians like to watch K drama......... My first K drama was Boys over flower and continued watching others like i was addicted to if.........

My all time favourite is My girl, Heartstrings and Full house and many ......

Hi Javabeans and Girl Friday,

I'm an Australian Korean who, despite having shunned Korean dramas as over-the-top and melodramatic for many years, suddenly discovered this genre thanks to the magic that is Netflix. Now suddenly I find myself admonishing my toddlers with 'ya, inoma!', brushing the cobwebs off my ill-used Korean and watching episode after episode late into the night, much to the chagrin of my very patient husband.

Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for this site, it's helping me navigate this whole new world and figure out what to watch next. I'm amazed at just how terribly addictive these dramas are (despite the horrible mashing of closed lips whenever there's a love scene) and I find your commentaries intelligent, insightful and they always give me a laugh. So keep up the good work!

Your friend from Down Under.

Drama where the guy takes a trip and dresses up in a costume to surprise his girlfriend accept another girl sees him in the costume outside the window?

I just want to thank you for such great comprehensive commentaries on Korean dramas. Especially Personal Taste which is what I'm obssessing about now, although 5 years late lol.

I am Indian too!n loveeee kdramas!My biggest addiction ever! :D

Been a kdrama addict since i watched You're Beautiful. So glad i watched it!

My friends wanna kill me because i made them addicts as well!! At the same time they are super happy that they discovered the kdrama world!

i want to know who is the man on this website header???

I am impressed with your work. Some analysis are comprehensive and I thought they are written by a theme. Until I come to this page. You are amazing.

I realised, I have been a reader since Javabeans started her blog and all of a sudden, decided to google more about JB & GF. Read this article - http://iamkoream.com/dramabeans-duo-spills-the-beans-on-k-dramas/

It's so cool how you girls can have your dream job and deliver great content to us the audience. I love the community on the website!! A few days ago, I became the first person to comment on Answer 1988 after 8 years of stalking this website. I do love the new editions of Odd and Ends and Kolourful Palette, keep up the good work.

Actually, I always wondered if you girls can do a cross over with my other Hallyu obsession, Eat your kimchi's Simon & Martina as well as Maangchi's cooking show :P

Peace out and Hwighting!

I am literally obsessed with Dramabeans! I am so happy that this website exists for KDrama addicts like me 'cause with this I can really analyze the dramas that I watch from your absolutely wonderful recaps!

Thank you javabeans and girlfriday! Even if I haven't seen you both in person yet, I'm a die hard fan of both of you! :*

Hello Javabeans! I'm a new fan of your blog. ok, this is my story of how I fell hopelessly in love with k-dramas.
It was a boring afternoon in my final highschool year. I was lying up bunk when I heard my seatmate telling some girls about BOYS OVER FLOWERS and got intrested. she also spoke about TO THE BEAUTIFUL YOU. So during the holidays, I bought the season one of BOF and fell hopelessly in love with the quiet Ji Ho and the movie it was so bad that my mom would be like 'sonia, go do the dishes or no more Jun Pyo for you! ' That was last year. since then I became an apostle of k-dramas when I didn't even know there was a country called Korea. I was searching for a behind the scenes with LMH when I stumbled upon Dramabeans and also fell in love. thanks to your blog, my friends are beginning to question my sanity cause of GF's hilarious comments in your recaps. Please no more hot pics of LMH I need to focus on my studies. for mercy sake I'm a Law student now!
Love, from Nigeria

I'm Filipino.

I just watched a few K dramas and these are my favorites

1. My love from the stars/you who came from the stars (the best ever!.. must watch!)
2. Secret Garden
3. My GF is a Gumiho
4. Rooftop prince
5. Pinnochio
6. Master's Sun
7. DOTS

Still worth to watch
7. Oh My Venus

I'm an Indian too.......And to say how much I love Kdramas.....sooo much better than those K-serials.

What makes worse it worse that we share the same name and be constantly called "EKTA KAPOOR"........:'(

It's nice to know so many fellow indians watch Kdramas.....

Hi,
i finally find a place to go on and on and fantasize about my kdramas with out being criticized by either my sisters at home for putting them up to watch kdramas in languages they don't understand. i mean they would rather see kim kardashian through her money around than a good love story or my workmates who find me glued to my computer searching for the latest kdrama to watch at home.

i love kdramas and thank you dramabeans for helping breech that gap for some of us who know little about the Korean language.

thumbs up.

Can you do a review of 7 first kisses? The new web drama?

Or if not, can you tell us more about what this web drama is about. Is it like a voting competition for you to pick from the 7 boys?

Pls tell me more! (I don't understand korean..hehe)

Thank you. :)

A sarcastic, witty, wry and intelligent KDrama site that cares about grammar?! Thank God! I am in love! Where have you been? In actuality, where have I been? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the pretty people as well as any fangirl, but I tend to keep it inside. More silent stalker that sniffs sweaters than violent gusher of heart emoticons. I've always wanted to discuss other things in addition to adding drool to my couch or my cat if he happens by.

My convoluted story on how I got started on KDramas. I will say that my KDrama obsession started with anime. I was watching "Itazura na kiss" and couldn't find episodes. (Because there is nothing quite like trying to find out how an abusive relationship ends.) When I google searched, I love you google, I found that there was a JDrama version. Then I found the KDrama version "Playful kiss" that came up on youtube (with the worst sub timing ever!). I will say that was probably the worst introduction to KDrama-hood. I cringed with embarrassment so much during that entire show, but for some odd reason I could not look away.

... and here I am many many many Dramas later.

Hello my new family!

Found this blog. Love it. I am a recent KDrama addict. An Ahjuma. I never watched soaps. but once I relented to my curiosity of what my daughters' daily ritual...I got hopelessly hooked. Again even in 2017 series that have low ratings in Korea are are hit in the international scene. How do we acknowlege them? case in point Weigthlifting Fairy.

hi i am pleasantly surprise with the fabulous look on dramabeans..
refreshing..but one item that i m missing very much is the dramas that will be screened on each day..would it be possible to show that?
thanks

I like most of the new update....but one thing I had hoped would change from the old site is the access to recaps. Could update 2.0 include tabs for each letter of the alphabet so i can get to the S section or the M section directly. As the list of recapped shows grows, it makes it very hard to scroll thru 13 letters of the alphabet. If I want to read about Descendents of the Sun, I would love to tap a "D" rather than scroll for it. Thanks for listening and for a great site. Amazing work over many years. I rely on you!

Where are Javabeans and Girlfriday these days?? ARe they not recapping anymore?? I miss their wit and insights!!!!Please tell me where to find them, or when they will be back!!! Thank you for anything you can tell me!
