Dramabeans 5-Year Anniversary Giveaway #3

girlfriday: Week three of the blazin’ birthday giveaway extravaganza extraordinaire!

javabeans: You know what that means: More presents! Man, what a spoiled 5-year-old Dramabeans is.

girlfriday: Right? If DB were a kid, we’d have one needy brat on our hands.

javabeans: Then again, most 5-year-olds receive presents, and DB’s giving ‘em out. Although I don’t know who gave that kid my credit card info.

girlfriday: Is that what’s going on? That explains a lot. This time we’re giving away a brand new iPod nano, but that’s not the best part. It’s chock full o’ goodies! It’s got a Javabeans Playlist on it, which I’m gonna venture to say is worth more than the player itself.

javabeans: We’ve also got a few more premium memberships to give out to Dramafever, in case you want to get friends/siblings/parents addicted to your drama poison of choice. Because as we know, drama addictions are best shared, not cured.

girlfriday: Yeah, rehab’s for quitters, and we’re no quitters!

javabeans: So get crackin’! By which we mean, please post up lots of nice thoughts for our many many guest posters over the years.

girlfriday: They know how much we appreciate them, but as we know from personal experience, sometimes the warmest thanks comes straight from you guys, so please be generous with the love!

And the winners of Giveaway #2 are…

  • Bethany, winner of a one-year premium subscription to Dramafever,
  • PrincessSerenity81, winner of a one-year drama membership to Crunchyroll,
  • and Bluefyre, winner of one $100 gift certificate to Yesasia.

Congratulations! We’ll be contacting you shortly via email. On to the next one!

I second that! It was really wonderful of redpill and cassie.opeia to take up the recapping of SKKS! Those were the days of me racing over to DB daily, refreshing continually throughout the day, anticipating the recaps. (Alas, due to schoolwork, these days I often watch a drama and/or read the recaps long after they've been out. :( )

Congrats to the winners of the 2nd giveaway!
And I agree with girlfriday on the Javabeans playlist being worth more than the iPod! I love the indie tunes attached to individual posts by javabeans! *thumbs up!*

I would like to thank kaedejun because she's been a guest blogger for a long time and has recapped some of the dramas that girlfriday and javabeans don't have time for, so for that I am extremely grateful. I really enjoy her style of writing and I hope that she continues to blog for a really, really long time (:

Samsooki! Not a day goes by without me frantically waiting for your crazy City Hall recap. I love every words you spill, your undying love to a certain "mister-assistant-Soo In" and your witty sarcasm.

I quoted and re-quoted all of your lines, including but not limited to:
- BB starts turning colors that I didn’t think a human body could manufacture
- At the celebration dinner at Mexico and the Chicken, everyone is there, except for Soo In (glaring absence! grrrrrr.)
- It is as if PD Kwak gathered together all of the Chuno writers, and announced, “Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I think we can make Dae-Gil’s life even more brutal…”
- etc

AND HELLO... I didn't even know you're a GUY until several months, I mean.. seriously, who would've thought somebody who's basically in love with Soo In the Jo Gook's assistant could turn out to be a male? *not even trying to implicate any racism here*

O_O OMG Samsooki is a guy?!? I didn't know that I was totally imagining a girl rattling down all those words for the Samsoon recaps.

I agree, i was late on the City Hall train and samsooki's recaps were the perfect accompaniment. That drama is still incredibly special to me, but when I try to rewatch it, somehow not having his comments to respond to, agree with, laugh along and discuss make it a less satisfying experience. Thank you samsooki ajusshi! When will you be back with more?

I would like to thank samsooki because he recapped my favourite drama of all time, City Hall. He did an amazing job on the recaps and I loved that he included the 'character to watch for' little part at the end. I also really admire the fact that he's a guy and he's afraid to admit that he's an avid drama watcher.
I hope he comes back one day and recaps another epic drama !!

Thank you gummimochi for doing the Running Man recaps! I started watching RM summer of 2011 and was hooked immediately. The recaps are so well-written and entertaining. I have to wait until the episodes are subbed so it's nice to read the recaps and anticipate the awesome that is coming my way. :)

I'm sooo glad orangy911's recaps made me curious about Me Too, Flower. It turned out to be one of my favourite dramas in 2011 and I always looked forward to orangy's thoughtful commentary on it. I hope to see you post again on dramabeans in the future!

I will think kaedejun because there's been a few dramas that I wasn't interested in that I gave a chance to because of her recaps... and quite a few that I've lost interest in but got to see how they panned out because of her recaps.

Kaedejun, thank you for recapping all the dramas that served as my drama crack for the past year or so. On the days that What's Up airs, I watch the raw episode with wide-eyed confusion that turns into understanding through your recaps. :)

Quite simply put, you're awesome!

I want to thanks HeadsNo2. I am a lurker so I don't actually comment on your posts, but I really, really appreciate them. I absolutely LOVE how you write. Especially your History of the Salaryman recaps. Even though I'm not watching the show right now (damn you school), I always make sure to read your recaps. You manage to make me laugh out loud just with your writing and how you explain scenes. I'm definitely planning on watching it when I have time along with Padam Padam. Thanks for writing a half-time report too, so that we know the show is still going strong.

Also thanks to gummimochi for your Running Man recaps. Those are aweosme and always make my day better.

I'm a Canadian resident. :D

I love gummimochi's recaps of Running Man. It looks like so much more fun compared to American Variety Shows. Honestly, I love Korean Variety Shows like Running Man, 1N2D and going back X-Man and Love Letter as much if not more than dramas (not that I don't also love dramas), so thank you gummimochi for providing recaps for variety shows and showing off other aspects of television media besides dramas.

Thank you orangy911 for a fun ride along the M2F freeway of love! It seemed too short, but it was fun while it lasted to read your careful analysis of their personalities and turbulent lives.

Thanks, kaedejun, for sticking with Romance Town of Greedy Maids. It was fun figuring out who was what and who loved whom and what ended up where in the end. Although, I am still not sure where all the money went.

Thanks, HeadsNo2, for loving Tree with Deep Roots as much as me. It was PERFECT. I don't know when a better show will come along.

Thanks, samsooki, for going down memory lane with Kimm Sam Soon to learn again, "Why did she hate her name so much?"

The dramaworld is a better place with you recapping in it.

Hi HeadsNo2,

I just wanted to thank you, very much, for providing us with both the Episode 1 recap and Halftime Report for Padam Padam. It really is an excellent drama, and your recap and Halftime report have been wonderful companions to watching the drama.

Thanks again, and I hope that we may see more drama recaps from you in the future. :)

Orangy911, seriously, thank you so much for making Me Too Flower even more enjoyable, with your witty commentary! I absolutely love your comments at the end because always always you see things that I would have never ever considered before. I must say that, even though I've not done with it yet, Me Too Flower has been such a roller coaster ride and I love having someone to help me along and hold my hand, in a way, when I'm so confused!

Also, kudos to all of the contributors at Dramabeans, because even though I may not have been here on this journey since the beginning, it's been wonderful experiencing it with all of you~

Love your writing style, and your recaps are fun and easy to read, while still being illuminating and intelligent! If it weren't for you I never would have been able to understand all the Joseon politicking that went on in Tree. So many thanks be to you!!

I would like to thank Kaedejun for all the posts she has done. The reason why is because, I know how hard it is to own your own blog, but take time to post in another. I appreciate all the posts you've done here, and the ones on your blog as well. My favorite post on kaedejun was "It's Not Hard To Date A Drama Addict- Really :)". I loved all your recaps of You've Fallen For Me. I believe that what makes a recap enjoyable is who writes it and how its written. I love your charming and witty comments on every recap you've done. Thank you so much for everything you've done. :) I also would like to thank anyone who has done a post here on dramabeans. We all appreciate you for taking time out of your personal lives to feed our drama addictions!!!!

I want to thank everyone who's ever taken away from their precious watching time to write something up for Dramabeans. Your writing has helped shaped Dramabeans to what she/he is today. Thank you so much!

I want to give a special thank you to samsooki for his many insightful opinions he shared on OT and for his recaps of City Hall and My Name is Kim Sam Soon. For me, reading the caps were just as fun as watching (if not more in some instances).

Thanks so much Headsno2 for your Tree with Deep Roots and History of a Salaryman reviews! Wit and bite in every review without compromising the meat and heart of the episode. Plus, I seriously die laughing every time I read a HoaS entry...so good! I can no longer read HoaS reviews at work...

I would like to thank Dahee_Fanel for your Year In Review. The anecdote at the beginning of the review about your drama addiction and how you have grown up to see dramas through the eyes of someone who isn't so addicted today and see's the dramas without a magic sheen that presumably hid the flaws was something I could relate to.

Unlike Dahee_Fanel I started my drama addiction in my mid-teens, but I still used to and watch anything and everything, but now (about five years later) I'm much more selective.
