Hey, check out the fancy new threads we’re sporting! Every kdrama Cinderella gets a shiny new makeover, and dramabeans was feeling left out. So we took her for a spin at the website-makeover spa and salon, and this is how she came out!
We worked really hard on this redesign (as in, directed people much more talented than us), and hope you love it as much as we do! Consider it an early Christmas gift. We hear Santa’s been ’round these parts lately.
Take a leisurely tour and reacquaint yourself with where things are, and thanks for your patience during the switchover!
A moment of silence, and one last look at dramabeans’ old outfit. We wore you to prom, to midnight shows of cult classics, and through many breakups. Fare thee well, old friend.
RECENTLY RECAPPED
Looks fantastic, I love it!!
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Oh man! I’m gonna miss the old look, but could get used to this new style. Gotta say, reminds me of allkpops makeover.

Changes are good sometimes. It will take time use to new design but eventually I’ll like it for sure
^aww man..apparently not!

lol. when i got on, i was just like “am i on the right page?” haha..looks great
ooooh that’s why! i really thought i clicked a wrong link! haha! anyway, this new layout is nice though i still prefer the old one. but heh, don’t mind me im just a mere reader lol aja aja girlfriday and javabeans!
Definitely needs getting used to. I was wondering why the site needed maintenance.
Whoa, took me a minute to get use to the yellow, but it’s nice. Very organized.
And are those sexy, new headers?
Why yes, yes they are. Check ‘em out: http://www.dramabeans.com/about/headers/
man! when i came to check out the latest updates, i had to double check the website i had entered. it’ll definitely take some time to get accustomed and i’ll seriously miss the old outfit!
Oooh spiffy new layout! melikes! It’ll get some time getting used to it, but I like the color scheme and I’ve always been a fan of sidebars on the right. \o/
Congrats guys!
Congratulations dramabeans!!!
i love both outfits btw!:)
dramabeans fighting!!
Change is good, I’m not get used to the new design but I like it
Fighting!
Congratulations and LOL @ the Go Eun Chan pic.
i thought i was going to the wrong site, it looks good guys. job well done! i thought it was funny using eunchan’s dorky makeover from coffee prince, but dramabeans makeover is not dorky at all. very classy feel…
Oh wow! It’s all shiny, spiffy, and new!!! Congrats. I need to get used to this. XD
Congrats on the new look!
Oooooh, pretty! New updated look is fantastic, but sentimental me will miss the old one-so many fond memories! Thanks javabeans and girlfriday for maintaining this fantastic site!!!
wow. At first, I thought I went to the wrong website. This looks great. Keep up your good job. Thanks Javabeans and Girlfriday !!!! Hwaiting!!!!!
Neat! Gotta look at it at a bigger screen later (using my phone now).
I also thought I was lost… but it looks great!!
And we can reply on each comment now.
Yeah, just realise it now. Made a mistake when I replied the post in CH. Love this new way!
Wow new look. It’s good to change but I miss the older look. Anyway I will adapt to it.
Good job Girlfriday and Javabean.
ohh i’m gg to miss the old look coz tht’s the one i discovered dramabeans in!
but the new one looks great! yay for the new look! 
OMG! first, I thougt that my page is a wrong one or there should be a problem about net. it will take some time to get used to new one. but still cong;) in every way, I really really love dramabeans.. (i don’t know how many times i visit in a day like a crazy)
wwooahhh i just refreshed and then i was wondering where’s dramabeans all of a sudden??? i think i’ll need to get used to this style now but ill miss the old one..
congratulations then!
Had a minor panic attack when I thought that I had forgotten the correct spelling of ‘dramabeans,’ and was on better looking tribute site (it could happen) Relief was followed by minor heart palpitations when I couldn’t find the rotating headers link(what?…it calms me). Crisis resolved (for now at least) and I absolutely love your new digs!
welcome to the new layout!!! look great! =’]
When i came to the page, first thought “oooooh, makeover”
Ohhh, shiny!
wow congratulations on the new design..i will surely miss the old one…will definitely get used to this ..cheers
Did anyone panic, like, for a moment?
I’m really digging it though. It’s spiffy. I’m gonna go explore now.
Good luck but I don’t like the new design. This site was one of my favorites, because it was so clean and well organized, but now it looks like many other commercial sites.
The grey color doesn’t work for me, especially with the mix of green and orange. Some of the important links are lost down there… I’m gonna miss the old design.
i thought i visited the wrong one dramabeans….wow…a job well done….nice work….
yap, just like everyone else, have panic for a second, I thought something is wrong, but I loved it!
YAY! I love it! Although I’m gonna miss the old one, too. Congrats!
I miss the old layout (person who does not like change).
Please don’t get mad at me. I think the mustard and the green need to be changed to different colors. Both make the page look a little washed out. The blue you used before stood out more. It looked brighter and had a crisper quality to it.
I like the new layout though.
(So please don’t send the lynch mob after me) 
Love the new look, not that I didn’t like the old look, but this one seems to be clearer, neater, and a lot easier to read.
Looking forward to the next makeover 3 years from now
Ah, so you’re on to our pattern! LOL.
The new look is awesome!
I LOVED the old layout, the new one just isn’t the same. It used to be so unique and clean. The new one with the ugly yellow is just ugh.. I appreciate the hard work though!
This one will just take some getting used to, that’s all.
Good job! Love it!
@35 Faye ahaha i definitely was… confused. and then i saw the word “dramabeans” and then i was like OH thats what this is, and then i was confused again. hahah.
but wow. new layout looks… new. i like the color scheme[: umm good job supervising the people that did all the work for you ;]
Very nice. Looks great, good job!
i just noticed the snazzy new reply button. spiffy
wait…. is that old? WAS THAT THERE BEFORE?!!
It is my new exciting toy.
Yup. It is.
I just got to play with a new toy!!!!
Love it!!!!
javabeans, I’ve always wondered: how do you read all the comments and even respond to some of them? If someone posts a comment on an old post ( from Jan.14, 2007, for example), do you get a notification, or do you not see it unless you happen to go back to an old post?
The author of a post gets an email every time a new comment comes in (unless you switch the feature off). So I won’t get comments on GF’s posts, nor she on mine.
This means sometimes I have hundreds of new emails in my inbox, which can get overwhelming and I may skim or miss some. I TRY to read as many comments as possible, and I used to read them all, but these days I know there are some I miss. I try, but I’d rather spend hours writing posts than reading emails!
Oh, I see. Thanks for your response. I always feel so honoured when you respond
Your faithful readers are very appreciative of the many, many hours (and blood, sweat and tears) that you and girlfriday put into your work.
I actually loved how simple the old design was but this one is great too!
Looks spiffy! Just gonna took some getting used to, that’s all. Liking the organization!
My only problem with this new layout is that now, I have to click on “More” in order to read the complete story, which is kind of troublesome for a fanatic like me who likes to read all the articles.
I think it was like this before though. Didn’t we always have to press more to read the longer articles?
But more words of each article was shown in the general page, until it was cut off. Thus more of the articles (like the short ones) we could read completely without have to click on the more information link.
I agree with you #50 hehe… I often at least skim through everything.
I hear you on that. I’ll miss aspects of the old design as well, like the super-huge photos of pretty people, which you’ll still see on the inside page but not as much on the front. And I liked keeping shorter posts on the front page too.
But there’s always good with bad, and vice versa. And I felt we were LONG past due for a change! I hope people will appreciate the new design as they get more accustomed to seeing it, since a crap-ton of work went into perfecting every detail. I’ve been seeing it for more than a month so I’ve had plenty of time to get used to it.
i appreciate yr effort n u’ve done a neat job. So fightin!! Aja aja
Yes, definitely keep up the good work!
