More celebrity gossips! But mostly to keep doing the great job you guys are doing. Thanks!!!

I would LOVE to see more movie reviews too! Thanks JB & GF!

I would love to have a close analysis of some of the better dramas. I know there's 'top dramas' and rankings, but perhaps more like a "close reading" of the drama and its intricacies that can't be given justice in a recap.

Please recap Dream High 2!!
You guys are doing a great job!!
THANK YOU!!

Dramabeans is my fav site for getting drama recaps because I usually watch raws. So I'd really like more weecaps just because they give a nice basic idea and maybe there can be more of them! But THANKS! LOVE THIS WEBSITE!

How can I ask for more when you guys go above and beyond already? But I will add another vote to the ones above for movie reviews. I'm especially interested in your comments and opinions on the movies!

everything has been awesome and db is fun! movie recommendations of the month/ review would be nice too. choice actor picks for the less noticed or less noticed drama/movies per season? the drunk podcasts are great too :) how bout a drama ost review or picks aside from song of the day etc? since not all osts are well known?
or like little k culture tidbits? stuff we see on dramas elaborated etc? little bits :)

these are litttle things but im happy with db and
congrats and happy new year birthday to everyone who works hard for db! from every little thing. my drama place from the start. you guys rock !

I love dramabeans the way it is...but if i had to choose...I'd say more older drama recaps! or even just reviews. I got into Kdramas a little late so i missed all the dramas before 2007ish. I especially wanna see a Damo recap (or review) coz that last episode of 1n2d made me wanna see more of Lee Seo-Jin. :D

In 2012, I want to see recaps (weecaps?) for two of my favourite k-dramas ever, Soulmate and Biscuit Teacher Star Candy. I know javabeans did an awesome review/character description for Soulmate. But this is most probably wishful thinking, since you guys are already bogged down by recaps and updates and real life. So I just want to thank everyone who writes for this site, because you guys make watching k-dramas so, so much fun.

Ooh, I also LOVED javabeans' Hana Yori Dango review. So if you guys ever have anyone who watches j-dramas do reviews for some series, that'd be the best thing ever. :D

You guys probably won't consider this, but I would love to see Chinese/Taiwanese/Japanese drama recaps on db, especially now that actors/actresses from korea and other countries are appearing in different countries' dramas/movies.

Perhaps the Chinese-speaking dramas could be http://www.ch.dramabeans.com, korean be kr.dramabeans.com, japanese be http://www.jp.dramabeans.com, while all together they form dramabeans.com. (Or to make things simpler, just keep the korean one dramabeans.com.)

And on the top of each webpage, you should include a link to each of the Japanese, Chinese, and the Korean pages. Each page (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) would act independently, but still be the same dramabeans.com.

One the side, where it says "Currently Airing," each page would have either the schedule for Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or Taiwanese dramas, depending on which page they visit (jp/ch/kr/-). And perhaps under the "Currently Airing," it could become somewhat like a calendar/planner for us, with us being able to "view the next week's schedule" or "view the previous week's schedule" if you know what I mean.... It would be extremely useful for us drama lovers who constantly need to be reminded of when our next dramas will come out.

It would be really nice for us drama lovers, because not all of us just stick to Korean dramas -- we watch all kinds of asian dramas. But then of course...dramabeans seems to have a mission statement of "deconstructing korean dramas..."

It's crazy how far and big Dramabeans has become!! I have a lot of love for this site and admire you all for continuing it. Congratulations and here's to another wonderful five years!

Similar to what one commenter has mentioned, how about a live chat from time to time? Maybe on a particular drama? Even just between Dramabeans blogging family?

Like many commenters have mentioned, more culture and glossary posts! The "oppa" one was such an enjoyable read.

I know this sounds really weird to share here but it was one of those things I really wish you had. I love doing drama recap marathons on dramabeans because I don't have time to watch the drama and I don't like to wait for the next episode. So I wait until the drama/recaps are done and read them all the way through. (I seriously would sneak underneath the covers to read your recaps so my husband wouldn't notice.) But because there wasn't any next episode button, I couldn't easily land the next episode. I had to press back, scroll down the recap list and find the drama and then the episode. And sometimes since I forgot what episode I was on, I would press the wrong episode button and have to do the whole thing over again.
So as for me, I would like a simple link that goes on to the next episode.
Like I said, it's a minor detail.
Thank you do much for your recaps. I love them!!!!

I started following this site almost exactly a year ago and I absolutely LOVE all you've done for us readers.

In the future it'd great to see more cultural blogs. I love that you explain the cultural and meta references whenever they come up in different dramas, but the separate posts, like you did for the explanations of "oppa" and "noona" were hilarious and incredibly informative. I'd love to see similar posts along the same vein about other aspects of Korean culture that come up often in dramas.

More variety show recaps please! You guys do an amazing job with 1N2D and Running Man, but I'd love to see more recaps in general. Whether that means other current variety shows, other old variety shows, or even the older eps of RM/1N2D, I'd appreciate everything.

I would love to see more drama recaps too!

I would like to know more about javabeans and girlfriday. a blog post with pictures of both of you and about who you are!! :)

More movie reviews and reviews of older dramas! Like, Resurrection? One of the BEST dramas ever!

I would love for you to make posts teaching us the basics of Korean language! But other than that, please continue with what you are doing because the recaps are amazing!

Thanks so much! :)

Well honestly I think what you guys are doing are perfectly fine, but you can expand on it. Here's what I mean:

1) Variety Shows - You've already got Running Man, so how about other variety shows like Strong Heart, Star King, and We Got Married.

2) Movies - There are some of us who can't watch Korean movies or understand the language, yet we still watch them. Have some reviews on what movies we should and shouldn't watch and it would be a nice translation for us foreigners.

3) Catching up on Dramas - I've noticed that some dramas haven't been completely recapped. Which is perfectly understandable b/c let's face it, not every drama happens to be "good", but 2012 can be a great way to catch up on them and complete them

4) Routine Podcasts and Q&A - How about weekly podcasts or monthly, ya'know like a podcast every Wednesday...er something like that. Maybe even a Q&A page where you use your awwwwesssooommeeee writing skills to answer our annoying questions.

5) Something New:

Japanese/Chinese/etc Dramas - I, myself (and I'm purrty shur it's everyone too), but I don't only watch anything Korean related. Like I even watch Japanese dramas here to there (despite the fact they don't fulfill my expectations). Even watching Taiwanese dramas that Korean actors are in (like with Japanese). It's just a a bit of a refresher from what I normally do.

Cartoons/Anime - Yes. I know. WTF?!! "This guurrlll is telling us we gotta do some recaps on friggin' cartoons????" You don't have to, but it's some idea that popped up. (I love Anime btw)

Reviews on Music - Instead of just reviewing on Dramas, how about Music. Like some of the Indie music I heard from the last podcast you're in to. Or K-pop b/c you sound like you don't like it very much. Just and idea.

Sorry it's so long, probably sounds like a A LOT of work??? Just keep Dramabeans amazingly RAWESOME and things will work out! Thank you very much for all the hard effort each of you put on!

You guys do such a good job keep doing what you do. Crandulations on the 5 years again. More movie recaps would be nice thanks love you guys

Definitely more movie reviews and maybe more writers for more recaps!

I'd like to see you guys! Perhaps a special edition video of your discussions instead of a podcast?

dear javabeans@girlfriday,

you are already doing an amazing job, so much so i was sitting there for 10 minutes scratching my head cause i could think of nothing you needed improving on!

i would love to see more of your awesome recaps and random titbits here and there and also maybe half yearly reviews? i love the end of year reviews but i am always sad that because the whole year must be taken into consideration, many dramas fade to the back of memories.

thanks for the past 5 years and i wish you the best in the year of dragon!!

what i want to see on dramabeans in 2012 are movie reviews or like overall review of some drama series so that even if you guys don't recap it i'll still be able to grasp the plot and decide whether or not to watch it :D
oh and also i would like to see a cool background on this page :D

once again I just want to thank you guys! this blog has been great to keep me up to date of all the dramas that i dont have time or dont necessarily have the patience to watch fully :)

What I want to see more in 2012 is more cable recaps! and also some recommendation of old school dramas or dramas that you liked in general :)

More Movie Reviews Please :)

i enjoy the guess recappers and variety show recaps, keep them going for 2012

I would love to see more long-running sitcoms like vampire idol or ojakkyo brothers. I love how you format the High-Kick 3 series and I was hoping that you would do that with those sitcoms. Also, I would love to see recaps of older dramas!!! By the way I love dramabeans and I always look forward to your recaps!!!!!

More drunk pod casts!

I would like to see more reviews on shows you guys maybe don't totally LOVE, but end up watching. Like, a short summary & opinion piece about this show or that show, just taking up a few paragraphs.

Thanks again for everyone's hard work at dramabeans (:
I love reading up on your news and recaps, I would love to read some more movie recaps though (:
That would be awesome ;D

I wish dramabeans would feature/discuss about books/novels that are being adapted into dramas/movies.

Maybe do a very brief translation of the books or maybe introduce the book/author.

I believe korean literature is not very under-appreciated and not widely available outside Korea and it would be really cool if we can have access to them.

Or maybe javabeans/girlfriday can talk about books that they WISHED would be adapted into a drama/movie.

Anyway,keep up the amazing job and no matter what changes that will happen in the future I will for sure always tune in even though I don't always comment!

Happy New Year.Cheers!!!

Dramabeans, please do recaps on other dramas other than Korean ones:) That'd be so sweet<3
For starters, how about Skip Beat/extravagant challenge? The one with Super Junior stars, Siwon and Donghae?
I swear, you'll like this drama:) Even if you don't understand chinese, there's always English subs and you'll like it:) the storyline is just like the manga, and the acting is actually really good, despite the Super Junior guys being singers:)

I would like to see finished recaps of all time greats. Like, Delightful girl, Choon-hyang or All About Eve. Sometimes you guys make references to these older dramas and I have no clue on what you were referring to! And I also don't want to spend what seems like my entire life to watching them!

I would love to see more movie and variety show recaps!
Ok, my next idea may be a little lame, but bear with me.
Maybe a 'of the week' post. Your favorite actor/actress/movie/drama/song/video clip/model/food etc etc. i don't know if you ever tried doing this before, but it might actually be fun or informational for those that haven't gotten very far into Korean culture.

I sincerely respect your taste in music. Dramabeans has been my additional source for Korean music for a long time now and I would love love that you guys have a sub section on music selection or soundtrack review. However, even without it, you guys are doing a terrific job already and I am so grateful for it. thank you thank you!!!

I want you to recap whatever Kim Nam Gil's post army project ends up being!

I would like to see MOVIE reviews please!
also perhaps a few sessions on Korean language & culture would be awesome.
hmm..podcast sessions have been wonderful, so I'd like to see more of this.

Thank you Dramabeans. I love you!

Dramabeans always post a song in Open Thread. I would like you guys can also tell us why pick the song or maybe if there's a story behind the song.

Thank You for all your hard work!
Love reading all your post but gotta confess recaps are my favorite

I want to see different drama recaps...when i say different i mean recaps of taiwanese and japanese drama...if possible of course

the reason i want you guys to expand on this is i love your writing style, amusing, detalied [giving none korean ppl bg info], your thoughts/opinion just takes reading recap to another level.

Thanks for writing all the recaps, news and keeping us updated with K-World

I wish dramabeans can be the central of ALL kdrama recaps, maybe by welcoming more guest recappers.

I do love dramabeans the way it is. But I guess I would love to have more music or OST's. Love hearing the music with the dramas. I would really like to thank you for all the recaps. They are the best and I look forward to them all the time. Thanks again!! Happy 2012 to all of you.

Thank you for everything you guys do on dramabeans! This is seriously be a lifesaver :) Despite time limitations and the fact that you guys are already doing a fabulous job, perhaps more movie reviews? And recaps of old series?

I think it would be lovely if you could include more recaps of popular/new movies!
