I don't think anything can beat it! It's just one of those drama that you can watch over and over again and not get annoyed. I'm glad Dal Ja's spring was up there. It was totally cute and I love the character, especially Chae rim! Coffee Prince is definitely the best kdrama I’ve ever watch overall! I don’t think anything can beat it!

Personally, i think DJS fared pretty good considering that it was aired really early this year. I didn't expect for it to retain the same popularity and viewers' loyalty all this time (considering that 2007 was a year with many good dramas).

You can see in the first line that it says "Pick your top 2." and of course i'm biased toward or against some of the dramas, but certainly not because of what others say. i draw my conclusions myself based on what i've seen and liked (or disliked). obviously i'm going to like a drama that i watched and enjoyed more than an aggravating one that i thought sucked. <strong>ripgal</strong>, MIA had poor ratings in Korea (in the 3%-5% range), but it's received positive praise for its clever writing. lala baba, the numbers don’t add up for the first poll because that one allowed you to vote for more than one selection.

Let me start with the dramas that I fell in love with this 2007. I love dramas that leaves me warm and fuzzy after watching them. They may not have endings that I wanted them to have but they sure have given me some pretty good warmth and fuzzy feeling. So here’s goes:
Coffee Prince (big time liking it, maybe its the coffee talking)
Dal Ja’s Spring (there’s time for laughter, there’s time for tears but there’s always time for love)
Evasive Inquiry Agency (totally crack pot but love the essence of it)
9 End 2 Out (total satisfaction – good friend become lover and still be best of friends)
I Came In Search of Flower (twisted but funny – existance of irony)
Legend of Hyang Dan (just like the twist in the fairy tales, who knows it may happen)
Thank You (adore BOM to the last bit – she makes me cry a lot but also laugh a lot)
Time Between Dog and Wolf (Adrenalin pumping)

So – so …
These dramas where it started well but just fall flat at the end or vice versa … so it takes great patience not to fast forward it and get to the end … so here’s goes:
Bad Couple (Great start but bad ending)
Get Karl Oh Soo Jung (Good Cinderella concept but delivery is weak)
Goong S (Great storyline but weak acting … what a waste, it could have been great)
Snow In August (Tragedy happen but to fall in love with the man who kills your son, that can only happen in kdrama)
The Devil (Good attempt but still a lot of loose ends, some part the story doesn’t gel together leaving pockets of obscurity)
The Legend (Love the special effect but too much of it just kills)
When Spring Comes (Slow in the beginnng but kind of end well)

I Hate … I hate drama that left me wondering at the end and makes me feel like I have wasted my 16 – 20 hours watching them not to mention my sleep.
Air City (No idea what’s the point of telling the story when there’s no ending)
Hello Miss (Light heartedly crazy)
Money’s Warfare (Violence begets violence but doesn’t love covers all sins?)
Que Sera Sera (whatever … so guy likes girl but has to go full circle to realise that)
Witch Amusement (Love Jae Hee but hate the girl, she can’t act and the ending is just too disapponting)

Cos I'm watching it now, and I seriously adore the humor and quirkiness inside.. Lee Min Ki's such a doll...I love him. XD
