i would like to see more series reviews. i know recaps of every individual episode are very burdensome, but basically, i only like reading the "thoughts" section of the recaps and getting recommendations on what to watch. i like the series reviews you guys have done so far--like "princess' man" and "color of a woman."

as always, thank you for being the BEST source for witty commentary and kdrama news...and post-army ab fawning. :)

I want more pop culture & society post! But you know javabeans reading you're babbling stuff outside k drama is as much delightful. I do that if I already finish reading all the recent post' :p

I love this site more than any other blog,
Without checking for updates every seven minutes,
I'd be nothing... my life would be a murky fog.

I laugh, I love, I sob when my celeb-'husband(s)' get engaged,
(I swear, I would love nothing better than keeping them caged)
So thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my soul,
For the updates on my not-so-secret hobby.
This blog protects me from reality, shielding me from cold.

What to improve, you inquire? I grin.
Oh, how I would enjoy giving this question a spin.
Those reviews/ratings at the top of the tab...
Saved my soul, was my compass, they are totally fab.
When I was lost and overwhelmed in the beginning of my kdrama journey,
Those rescued me by providing me direction
They saved me multiple times from being wheeled out on a gurney.

I would love more old reviews (not recaps!) of the classics and oldies,
Since those are like trips down memory lane. I started out on those.
They are the goldies.

Ha.

And more cultural posts, food posts, and maybe a tourist-y post for all of us noobs?
Seriously, I'm afraid to try restaurants
Since I'm vegetarian and I'm scared of eating the wrong foods.

I love reading about the actor/actresses' interviews; they're so insightful and cool.
Knowing that they're human beings
That being a pretty talented person doesn't necessarily make you a tool.

I love listening to the Podcasts, it puts audio to voice
Maybe the faces can follow? haha, just kidding :P
Anonymity for internet-bloggers is always the best choice ^_~

So yeah - more overall impressions of dramas, of directors, writers, and such
Though I do firmly believe that if nothing changed in the upcoming year...
If nothing was different...
I'd be just as grateful and thankful of your awesomeness
- or at least that much.

I would love to see movie reviews too!

Thank you for all your hard work over the last 5 years, it was my lucky day discovering this site. :)

hmmm, i would repeat something others have said and say more movie-related things, whether it just be news posts or anything. (:

thanks!

Dramabeans (and its writers) should be be congratulated for its 5 year course so far, sometimes it had to go through those "space time conundrums".

And since it has proven that it can, it would be great if sometimes, we could have a throwback kdrama oldie recap.

I havent seen such a generous child in awhile. Happy Birthday DRAMABEANS!

More recaps and reviews please... Thanks!

More movie reviews and short polls maybe once a month? The only polls you guys do is the year end poll. Otherwise everything you guys do is awesome =)

I would love to see more indie music reviews and movie recaps! Love this site so much <3

I wasn't going to delurk (or is it unlurk?), but this prompt is a bit too good to pass up. I've always wanted to know what the Dramabeans team thought of Bobby Lee's Mad TV sketch on Korean dramas. Anyway, thanks so much for your hard work throughout these years! I can't imagine watching dramas without this site.

Happy 5th Anniversary again to DB!

I've always enjoyed your cleverly written drama recaps. I aslo loved the occassional mini series recap and kmovie updates. I think, for 2012, it would be fun to read your take on more of those! I absolutely love your writting style and it would be nice to read your comments on new/old kmovies!

Thanks for 5 years of awesomeness and hillarity! May you have more to come! :)

More recaps of old dramas. Especially classics like My Girl, the rest of Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang, Full House, etc.

Thanks for all the hard work! Happy Birthday! :)

DramaBeans is a very versatile blog and it's my primary source on news about Korean dramas, actors, and actresses. I too would like to see more reviews (movies, music, and dramas not recapped).

In addition, I have a very specific request. I started watching the amazing 1n2d after you began recapping it (i.e. from when Uhm Tae Woong joins) and am so so so sad that it will be ending soon. I'm going to miss all the members so much. Some of the members are not involved in dramas and therefore, would normally not appear on DramaBeans. Therefore, I would like to ask for DramaBeans to keep up with the 1n2d members by posting news about them after 1n2d ends. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to access news about them.

Thank you!

I would really love for more Pop Culture & Society posts. For the criminally short time you were doing them, the posts were my favorite thing on dramabeans, even more so than the drama recaps. It would be great to see some more analytic and socially informative posts like The Fairy and the Woodcutter, or prime examples of what an intelligent debate should be, as demonstrated in Point-counterpoint: Pursuing beauty in 200 Pound Beauty.

While you sometimes do posts alerting us to new movies coming out, rarely are there follow-ups once the movies come out. I'd love to see some more movie reviews, if you can work them in. If not, I'd completely understand. What all of you do already is a lot of work and I definitely appreciate everything you're all doing. Thanks for all the awesomeness!

Dear Javabeans and Girlfriday,

I feel that this website includes great discussions into past and upcoming Korean dramas...

However, I would enjoy more comments/articles about the writers or writing teams behind the dramas.

Do they even remain the same? Or do the teams quickly change from episode 1 to the final episode (whether it's 16 or 24)?

With all the inspiration that's fit to print,

Poetry_Lyric

Thank you javabeans for recaping dramas and all the info u r giving to the viewres all these years. I am pretty much happy with wutever u r doing right now. Nothing have to add .Thank you for all the hard works

I would like to hear more drunken rambling in your podcast, and maybe you could even sing.

I love everything Korean, so it would be great if there would be movie reviews, too.. I like watching Korean movies because they have good and interesting stories. I hope you would recommend more movies that I can watch..
However, even without movie reviews, this site is still awesome!!!! Thanks for creating this site!!!!

For this year, like many other people have said already, I would love to see more movie reviews. It's hard to find a credible and in-depth review of Korean movies. But other than that, I think that the site looks pretty good. Thanks again for all the hard work! =)

I think this site is already great as it is. There's enough goodies to last another 5 years. Thanks for sharing them with us!

Reading more stuff about Korean culture/life/FOOD would be awesome.

More reacaps? :D

I love how everything is done already so far. The one thing I love the most is that you guys provide songs for some recaps :D playing the song while reading the recaps sort of is like playing the movie...except way faster :)

Amazing job so far :) I know you all will still be amazing in years to come.

How on earth are you going to top dramabean 2011?!?! I would love to see older drama recaps! I would like to thank you guys! You're all doing an amazing job! I really appreciate your work!

Maybe some classic kdrama reviews.....recaps maybe way too long

I hope the awesome duo here can cover something about WE GOT MARRIED & STRONG HEART! Hihi :D A recap, I guess. I love STRONG HEART but I find it hard to watch it with subtitles. I'm hopeless about the recent episodes! Sigh! I badly want to watch this show!

THANK YOU DRAMABEANS :) You two don't know how much you guys help us with our Korean drama viewing. I wanna give you both a BIG HUG!!! Hehe . . . xoxo!

I would really like to see We Got Married/Strong Heart Recaps around here more :) Once when dramabeans did that Strong Heart recap it was so funny xD I would like to see more of those~ And I would love to see the recappers rag on couples that don't do enough skinship or cringe at the (too) cheesy moments :) However, I do appreciate all the awesome recaps of dramas/drunken podcasts :)

Dramabeans is amazing already, and it's hard to think of something that I'd like to see on DB...

but if there's ONE thing, I'd like to see the faces behind everything!! Just one picture of javabeans and girlfriday!! Everytime I read something on DB, i always wonder how you guys look like, haha.

and perhaps maybe movie reviews? I don't think movie recaps would be necessary because that would be basically spoiling the entire movie, but you guys would do an awesome job at giving reviews! I would totally take DB's movie reviews seriously in my viewing selection process.

I want to see more pretty pictures!!!! I love the magazine photoshoots you post up, Korea's really got their ads well thought out! And beauties and hunks to boot! I loved the My Lovely Kim Sam Soon recaps (the blast from the past hits!) and would love love love to catch up with dramas I have missed only by the fault of being born in the wrong culture (Just a couple thousand kilometres off!). GIVE ME MORE! *bangs head against a wall*

What would I like to see here for 2012?

Well, that's an easy question to answer - every time you or our new recappers are undecided as to which drama or variety show to recap, I want you to call me right away and I can give you the dramas that I want to see recapped! And right after we talk, I'll go out to feed my pet unicorn his meal of Lucky Charms & 4-leaf clovers.
:)

I would like to see more Variety Show Recaps~ I like your 1 Night 2 Days and Running Man Recaps are hilarious xD I would like to see more of those :)

I liked the addition of movie reviews last year. Hopefully that will continue this year. I wouldn't mind seeing something like music reviews. I generally like the songs you guys add to your posts and sometimes I'll never have heard of them before or the artist singing. So I think every now and then an artist/album review would be nice. Not so much mainstream music but your indie/alternative kpop groups and singers would be nice.

Thanks for all your efforts over the past 5 years x

Personally I believe a culture is something you have to experience to understand - and sometimes become exaggerated or overlooked in dramas or songs. Like the drama "myths" busted: such as is aegyo common? Do all omas' force their kids to go for blind dates? Do women get angry and throw their water in each other's faces?
I would love to see Dramabeans address some of such questions. :) Especially for foreigners like me, a lot of what we assume of the Korean culture comes from dramas... And such things actually might misrepresent a lovely and interesting korean culture.
In addition, I also love LOVE LOVE what many stars wear in the dramas. I'm not very sure about this point but many fashion trends are led by kdramas right? >< Dramabeans could keep track of some of these styles so we can know whats "in" and whats "out":D Hehe.
Overall though, Dramabeans is kdrama heaven so God bless your souls for listening to what we have to say!
HWAITING DRAMABEANS

the City Hunter season 2 script

I would love to see older drama recaps! The 'My name is Kim Sam Soon' made me want to see it again. I just love going back to the past where kdramas all originated from!

:)

Hmmm, that's a tough question :/ I would like to see more of your Podcasts xD They never fail to crack me up! And maybe some more commentary on your recaps, they're always so hilarious xDDD

Looking forward to a drama-addicted year with Dramabeans~ :)

I really enjoy the variety program recaps, so perhaps more of those? Maybe more frequent variety roulette?
I've been with dramabeans since it was javabeans on wordpress, and I've really really liked the improvements throughout the years and have enjoyed watching this site grow. Keep up the work guys! Thank you so much for everything! <3

Even though I'm more of a lurker than a commenter, I'd like to say thanks to Dramabeans for reviewing so many dramas I wouldn't have watched if I didn't get a chance to read a recap/review beforehand. I would love to see more varieties recapped here. They're hilarious, and amazing to read on a bad day. They're especially great to read after weeping over a drama.

I am seriously so impressed with the Dramabeans empire that Javabeans has built over the last 5 years with Girlfriday and the awesome guest bloggers that I almost feel bad asking for anything more. I know you guys are busy (in that real life we sometimes mention outside of K-drama land), but I would love to see more stuff about Korean culture and society! The recaps are always great--funny, detailed, insightful--so please keep that up, but what really drew me to this site initially was the highly intelligent level of discussion relating to all things pop culture in Korea. As much as I enjoy the snarkiness and humor, I would really love to see in-depth analysis and hear your personal opinions on some of the issues raised in dramas or movies, like you did with 200 Pounds Beauty. No other site that I know of fosters such simultaneously intellectual and human/ relatable discussion of the Korean dramas that we so enjoy.

Dramabeans has greatly enriched my love of Korean culture and popular culture, even though I'm Chinese myself. Thank you so so so much to all the contributors, and once again, happy 5th anniversary! I sincerely hope you'll be here for many more years to come (:

I would like to see some variety show recap or just some special part that is worth to recap because i know shows are long and hard to recap. It is also hard to find shows online to watch so I gave up chasing some shows that I used to love and I wish I can see some recaps from you guys such as we got marry and happy together. And as previous people mentioned, I would also love to see some good old drama recaps. Thank you

I would love to read about korean culture relevant to the dramas and more movie reviews.

Love everything you've been doing but I would love to see more news articles please!

I think your website is wonderful as it is and truly I had to think for a bit if there was anything I wanted you guys to add. I think it'd be great to have some type of ongoing list of favorite dramas of all time (because we have the favorites of the year) and who's favorite's they were. (ex JB's are this, girlfriday's are this). I think it'd be helpful because I'm finding myself starting to go back to older dramas that I didn't have time to watch before. An all-time favorite list would be pretty cool I think. :D

Thanks for the giveaway guys! You guys are too thoughtful and kind.

I really really really really really love your website as it is ;)
but it would be absolutely awesome if you did more of those sweet recommendation things. I remember I read one three years ago about Romantic Comedy lovers really introduced me to a lot of dramas that I love now :) So, it would be great if you can do those again :D They're pretty dang awesome :)

Thanks for all of your hard work though! I would be lost without you guys <3

As non-Korean speakers who often miss out on the nuances of the Korean language and culture, I'd say that it would be nice if there were more topics in the extended glossary. For instance, the whole deal about house buying/renting in Korea and the 'wolsae' business, which always stumps me.
