2010 Beanie Awards: Vote for your favorite dramas of the year

It’s December, and you know what that means around these parts: Time to reflect on the past year and see how the dramas stacked up! And boy, were there a lot of them.

As in previous years, I am planning a multi-part series (with special guest bloggers, natch!) to wrap up the year, which we’re busily writing up now — keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks! If you want a refresher on how previous years have gone, here’s this handy tag to take you right to them.

But before we tell you what we thought about the dramas of 2010, this is YOUR turn to weigh in and vote for your favorite shows, couples, bromances — and, yes, your big disappointments — in what we’re calling the Beanie Awards. They’re in your hands; give ’em out with care!

 

FAVORITE DRAMA SERIES OF 2010

Starting off with the big one, vote for your favorite drama of the year, whether that means your pick for an artistic “best” or simply an emotional favorite. The voting list is by no means a comprehensive collection of all the dramas that aired in 2010; it would be too overwhelming to include them all. So we narrowed the list to twenty of the likeliest candidates, and since we realize it may be tough to just pick one, you can select up to three dramas.

 

FAVORITE COMEDIC DRAMA

Which drama made you laugh, whether with insane antics, witty banter, or a heartwarming sense of humor?

 

FAVORITE HISTORICAL DRAMA

Some of these are more traditional in their format (such as Dong Yi), while others have fusion elements (like the trendy-romantic vibe in Sungkyunkwan Scandal), and others were downright genre pieces set in the past (sci-fi and paranormal-oriented Joseon X-Files). But they were all set anywhere from a hundred to a thousand years in the past and cloaked in colorful period costumes.

 

FAVORITE ACTION OR MELODRAMA SERIES

This is a bit of a mishmash of a category, I know. Still, I wanted to separate out these dramas from the rest of the trendy or sageuk crowd.

 

FAVORITE FAMILY DRAMA

Alas, I can’t offer you much insight on this category, being that I am not quite so avid a follower of this genre as I am the others. However, family series make up a huge part of the airtime on Korean television, so it deserves its voting category.

 

FAVORITE ROMANTIC PAIRING

Ah, romance. The lifeblood of the Korean drama, particularly the trendy variety. Which pairing tickled your fancy the most? Which couple got your inner fangirl squealing in delight? Which OTP did you root for through all the requisite angst that ran interference during those cursed episodes in the middle when you really just wanted them to kiss already?

 

BEST KISS

Speaking of kisses… We know that a kiss in K-dramaland isnt ever just a kiss. It’s often so much more — it’s a decision, an epiphany, a game-changer. Which kiss made you squee the loudest? (Or snort in laughter, as the case may be.)

 

FAVORITE PIGGYBACK RIDE

If kisses are declarations, surely the piggyback ride, seen in practically every kdrama since the beginning of kdrama time, also makes a statement. Such as, “I want to take care of you.” Or maybe it’s more like “I don’t want to take care of you but I care too much to NOT take care of you,” or even “I don’t WANT to care but I can’t help it so I’ll take care of you anyway.” Most loaded means of transportation EVER.

 

FAVORITE CHARACTER

The charisma and/or appeal of a character is an elusive quality that can make or break a drama: sometimes lovable characters can sustain entire dramas with their charm even when, let’s face it, the rest of the stuff ain’t so good. But when a character gets under your skin and makes you fall in love with them, there’s a certain magic that comes into play. Who did that for you this year?

 

BEST DRAMA POSSE

Friendship is rarely the focus of a drama, but the presence of a good friend — or several — can elevate a drama and warm your heart. They exult with our heroes when there’s cause for celebration, console them with liquor and sympathy when they’re down, and hold back their hair when they’re really down.

 

BEST VILLAIN

Villains can be bratty interlopers, crazed madmen (or women), or evil masterminds. All we know is: They spice up dramas and are lots of fun to hate. Who needs boring ol’ Fate to complicate your life when you’ve got enemies like these?

 

FAVORITE BROMANCE

Boys. Sometimes fighting. Sometimes frolicking. Need I say more?

 

FAVORITE ALTERNATE PAIRING

If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent many a drama feeling that dread in the pit of your stomach when you realize, Crap, I picked the wrong team. It becomes painfully obvious that the couple you’re rooting for is never gonna make it, often leaving one party out of the loop and broken-hearted. Who was your favorite couple who was Not Meant To Be?

 

BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE

Breakout doesn’t necessarily mean newcomer, although the two often go hand in hand. The actors in this category may have had other credits to their names, but it was in these selections that they shined, made their presence known, and springboarded to what will likely be greater fame. (Note: Some actors had big roles this year, but have been around or were previously well-known, and therefore were left off the list.)

 

OVERRATED DRAMA

“Overrated” applies to dramas that had mainstream popularity, but perhaps didn’t deserve the level of attention they got. By the same token, “underrated” applies to dramas that didn’t get as much love, but which you thought deserved more attention.

 
UNDERRATED DRAMA

 

DISAPPOINTING ENDING

Don’t you hate it when a drama is doing so well, and carries so much promise, only to fall flat in the final stretch? Even if 95% of a show is solid, a bad final 5% can really cause a drama to plummet in your affections. Sadly, this happens way too frequently.

 

BIGGEST WASTE OF TALENT

Likewise, it’s a bummer when a drama boasts a fantastic cast or your favorite star… and then fails to use his/her talents. Not only do you feel cheated, but you feel sorry for the actor who got suckered into a role that sorely underutilizes them.

 

BEST PERM

There was a fair number of male stars rockin’ the curly hair this year, for better or for worse. I KNOW WHO I’M VOTING FOR.

 

BEST ‘STACHE

With the rise of the “beast-men” trend, we saw a lot more abs, often glistening with sweat (thanks, Chuno), and a LOT more examples of facial hair, from minor scruff to the dreaded pornstache to full-on beards. Who rocked it best?

 

BEST AND WORST USE OF AN IDOL STAR

As we know, idols are advancing into television dramas with greater frequency these days, to a point where you can hardly throw a stone without hitting a chiseled idol ab. The phenomenon is usually met with some skepticism by viewers who are wary of untrained, inexperienced actors getting leading (or prominent supporting) roles, even as the idols are used to draw in more viewers. Some are bad, sure, but some are surprisingly solid. How did they do in your eyes?

Yup, for most, except the kiss. Coffee House did it for me, though the one included in the poll isn't the one that made me weak in the knees - it was still hot, but the second one at the train station - I think I squee-d so hard, my ears bled. Or at the very least, I had to pause and do a little dance of joy. Not. Even. Joking. Hottest kdrama kiss ever, in my opinion. Too bad the drama was so underrated.

Fun poll! :D

yes that kiss in the station from Coffee House

If there was a kdrama heaven of kisses, THIS kiss would be its god. Seriously.
I repeated it over and over and i swooned every time i saw Kang Ji-Hwan´s tip of tongue at the end of the kiss :)

0

yup thats what i thought too...coffee house's kissing scenes are awesome! it blew all the kissing scene under the best kiss category!

0

Same for me! :) <3 That kiss was so hot, and you could really feel the chemistry between the couple.

and I agree, the drama was enjoyable and very underrated :/

Also,
I'm surprised that so many people put Taecyeon for the worst use. In fact, he was probably my favorite character in Cinderella's Sister (when the drama started getting infuriating -_-), and he did a pretty good job making his character lovable in an almost childlike/innocent way. I'm questioning that bit of the poll .. .__.

Anyway, I enjoyed voting! Though Kdramas have disappointed me a little these past few years, at least this year had a few that I really grew to love. (SKKS, SG, Gumiho) :D <3 Thanks for the poll, javabeans.

I totally agree that Coffee House's kisses were more passionate compared to any other kiss I've seen so far from these dramas. Kudos to the directors...finally...a REAL kiss!

the 1 in gumiho was as truly evil as the 1 i choosed from sungkyunkwan : bad writing ,i meant the 1 in gumiho wasn't as evil as the one in sungkyunkwan so i choosed sungkyunkwan (and she wasn't powerful against a gumiho and the one of sungkyunkwan had much power or more i think)

+1. Prosecutor Princess is possibly the most underrated drama of 2010. One of the best dramas for me in 2010.

0

I do agree this drama was underated, but honestly I think the most underated drama has to be coffee house.
I believe, it even had lover ratings than PP but it was so enjoyable and I loved the ending!!!
that was a drama that had peope divided up to the last episode ,although for some people(me included) it was clear EY and JS were the main couple there were others that wanted SY and JS together. I got to say that I rooted for the ending couple from start and did not like some rude comments against Park Si Yeon(how canyou say she is ugly?), but o well
everyone is entitle to his/her own opinion I guess.
Anyways, I cannot believe 2010 is almost ending!!!
come on 2011!! we are waiting for you with open arms.

ahhh no you underestimate a good wrist rape scene.

If she gunna get on that plane?
Is she gunna continue to do this behavior that is obviously keeping you apart/pissing you off/embarrassing?
Is it time for a messy steamy kissy scene?
Are you just gunna let her walk away?

Wrist grabbing (Aka wrist rape) can lead to: kissing, piggybacks, fighting, arguing, hot looks, and emotional moments.

Lets not forget man on man wrist rape, a truly rare gem. We need more of this.

After watching Dr. Champ(KSY) and then starting Queen of Reversals(PSH), I had to go back and watch PP. I was quickly and easily reminded of why Prosecutor Princess is one of my 3 top favorite dramas of 2010. What a great drama...and very possibly the best written drama I've ever watched.

AGREE!!! (to everyone on PP)

Seriously, "I love you, you bastard" doesn't get a finalist spot???

And their piggyback was also cute... something about PSH making the road longer so he can piggyback KSH for a longer time. Hmph.

But then again, if it's one of the most underrated dramas, it probably won't get alot of votes even if you put in in the choices, right? :(

Watch PROSECUTOR PRINCESS, people.

I Thought best kiss scene is not in epi 13, but the one in the earlier episode. Not because this kiss is HOTTEST, but the way In WOo make a sudden plan and the process doing it make me hyperlanting, squealed like crazy. Park Si Hoo is so manly there lol

It's not the best KISS scene, but best kiss SCENE for me.

Although best kiss scene made me think of SKKS elevator kiss too - that was another one, I felt mickey was disrobing min young there LOL so that for me is the second one.

I felt so disappointed that playful kiss is going to lead in the drama award. The drama failed in the viewer rate. How can it be leading on the drama award. The drama gave the viewers real bad tastes. How can the most popular idol, KHJ, showing constantly kissing, hugging, and bed scenes with a new girl who doesn't know how to act. Playful Kiss was not considered viewers at all. Most viewers were teenagers who love KHJ. They do not know what is important in their lives. They just follow what their idol stars do. Showing those too many erotic scenes to the teenagers create them to follow the same ways what their idol stars do. That causes more teenagers problems such as teenager pregnancy. As a adult, we need to protect the immature teenagers to become matures to grow to be strong adults. Playful Kiss was a bad example to teenagers. Thus, I do not support PK at all.

2010 is the most watch drama i have ever watch for entire life. So many good, promising drama produce this year. Some with good start but sucks with the ending. Some with good casting, but somehow lack of story.

overall it's the most enjoy year for drama lovers ..
Wishing for many more for 2011 ...

JB and GF .. good job for keeping and updating us with lots of entertaint info on kdrama .. love both of u .. so do the other writers/recapers ... ^^

i'm the opposite. 2010 has been my rewatch-an-old-drama year! there were good selections but i seem to lose interest oh-so quickly. in fact i only depended on dramabeans review on Coffee House, Wish Upon a Star, Prosecutor Princess, etc. without this blog site, it wouldnt feel like i watched half of the list. ha! [thanks to javabeans&co.]

btw, just to put it on the record: most underrated: Joseon Xfiles; most disappointing ending: it has got to be Runaway for me!

I thought I was the only one doing that.. this year I was very depended on the blogs for a few dramas, then I end up not watching it, PK and SKKS were the ones but I have plans to watch SKKS for Yoon Ah In, Song Jung gi and and of course Yoochun (dbsk <3) Thanks to everyone in Dramabeans ^^

I enjoyed Coffee House, I really did and I will agree the kisses were out of this world. but.. but.. I still can't like the ending lol I guess I liked cliches way too much to have the bubbly girl (who I love to criticize) not get the man. It was funny, I only skipped the last episode.

MGIAG was the best for me.. If SG does as awesome all the way through, then there will be competition.

That was fast; I thought I'd be first to post. And then the second I typed my comment, it already is flooding. Oh, the famy of Dramabeans.

Kudos, JB! and GF! This is one amazing poll. I am rooting for all good votes for SKKS. ㅋㅋㅋ And I think, so far, so good. YAI's Guloh sure got a lot of attention, as well as his bromance with SJK's Yeorim - it'll have a landslide win. LOL Plus, JaeShin and YoonHee's alternate pairing draws votes, too. Maybe because SunJoon and I should be the fated ones. Haha

In my country, I am screaming "Grabe!" [sorta like that of OMG] on the initial results of votes, esp those categories SKKS is included. Gotta come back later for more updates. This is reigniting my SKKS Addiction....

I completely agree with you! SKKS was a good drama and I did enjoy it alot but the ending although it was cute I did not like it. Personally the best drama of the year has to be between MGIAG and Secret Garden.
MGIAG made me giggle like a little girl and who knew it was going to make me cry buckets of tears at the end?from star to finish this drama made me feel satisfy. I still remenber after finishing the drama I kept going back to rewatch the last episode over and over again, and reading peoples post as if trying to fulfill and emptyness that it left me, something that I never did before.
Secret Garden is making me feel the same way, and although we are only half way, I love it so much!!!
and even if it gives me angs, please! let me have my happy ending just like in MGIAG!!!
Ps....this is just my personal opinion I don't intent to offend anyone.

I think the SKKS voting is skewed the way that it is because SKKS finished recently and there was some very pretty eye candy in that drama so people's judgments in the voting...is a bit off.

Funny you mention about SKKS finishing recently,because I remember when I watched Wish up on a star I was so excited about it that I said it was the best drama for me at the time ,then came coffe house and love it so much that though I liked it best, but omg! here came GuMiho with all her cuteness that I did not think anything could top it off. But here comes Secret Garden with all its sexiness and I am torn!!!
In another note some people are complaining about SG being on the posts,since is not finish yet but I think is good because if it is included on next year, at the end of the year the feeling definetly will not be the same regardless of how it ends because people do tend to vote the most for recent dramas.

Best Kiss should be Tae Ra and Nam Gil in Bad Guy. An adult, real kiss with passion.

Best Drama should be DongYi. Ji Jin Hee and Bae Soo Bin?! No other reason needed.

Best Villian, definitely the chick form gumiho. Her nose was scary enough for me. Bad surgeon!

Sad to say but this year left me feeling bored. There isnt one on that list I'd pick as an absolute fav and so many this year I skipped over or didnt finish. But at least there were gems like Dongyi and Bad Guy.

I hope for better next year! (Poseidon)

Thanks @Infiniti512 for bringing this up. Definitely one of my favorite kisses in any drama, k- or otherwise.

The whole scene in the elevator was so masterfully directed and edited. I love the part where the close-up of the kiss is reflected in the side of the door.

Whenever I think I like my job, I remind myself of Oh Yeon-soo and what she gets paid to do. The woman is my hero!

Perhaps JB could explain that.

But to me there's nothing really special (we've seen it before/we know how it'll end) about Dr. Champ that could make it stands out against so many other good/interesting dramas this year.

But it does have a strange pull in the first few episodes, unfortunately it becomes a bore as it progresses.

Hey lovepark, me love Jejoongwon too! Heartfelt, moving, everything:-) I was introduced to awesomeness that is Park Yong Woo, and surprised by how good Han Hye Jin is (I didn't feel her in Jumong). Watched it after Thundie's recommendation and grateful that I did.

Glad to see another person in love with Jejoongwon. I read Thundie's reviews, too, which are amazing. Jejoongwon is underrated, but I get how some people aren't enthralled with it. I still think it's a wonderful gem of a drama especially with a splendid performance by Park Yong-woo.
If anyone is looking for a drama to watch or thinks this year was completely awful, watch Jejoongwon. It's not the fasted-paced drama, but it has heart and the lovable underdog.

I voted for Jejongwoon too as one of my top 3 favorite dramas this year. Not only were the actors superb, I found the storytelling of how modern medicine came to Korea well done too. I also loved the life lessons it portrayed.
