Dramabeans 5-Year Anniversary Giveaway winner announced

girlfriday: Wheee! That was one long birthday party! I know we only turned five, but it feels like we turned 500! Thanks so much for all the love and support for Dramabeans all month long.

javabeans: And while it’s the site having the birthday, we wanted to make the party about the readers, since otherwise it would be a party of two, hosted by our special friends soju and nostalgia.

girlfriday: And mostly when we do that, we get strange looks from other people. We know it’s mushy, but we wouldn’t be where we are without you guys, so we wanted to make sure and say thank you to all our faithful readers from around the globe.

javabeans: Thanks also for all the great suggestions to the last giveaway prompt. There were some fun ideas, and some wacky ones. There were also some requests that we wanted to point out on the site, since they already exist! The header and footer links are a great place to look for resources, like:

girlfriday: There’s a lot of fun stuff in places other than the homepage, so dig around and do some exploring! We take no responsibility for the hours you lose going down that rabbit hole though. You’ve been warned. There’s a handy-dandy tag for our conversation posts, done in this format, and our variety recaps like 1 Night 2 Days are done in that style as well.

javabeans: For example, you can also filter out first episode recaps, if you want to check out how a drama starts, or read up on actor interviews or award ceremonies. That’s just one of hundreds (or thousands?) of tags on the site, which you can find on this convenient Tag Index.

girlfriday: Hopefully that’s helpful and not overwhelming. We realized from a lot of the feedback you gave us that some people might need a quick refresher Dramabeans roadmap. We can’t promise that we’ll fulfill every last request, but rest assured that we’ve read them all, and plan to try out some fun new things this year. No worries though — we won’t change who we are, save for surprise lobotomies or evil twins switched at birth.

javabeans: It’s K-dramaland, though, so never say never. A hint for potential future twin-usurpers, however: I’m the evil one.

girlfriday: Does that mean your twin is the nice one? Where can I find her?

javabeans: Out with your nice twin.

girlfriday: Damn, I hate those two.

 
And now, for the grand prize winner of the Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus tablet… drumroll…

 
javabeans: Our winner is KDrama Fan! Okay, that descriptor may apply to more than one of you. But if you’re the KDrama Fan who wrote Comment #353, you’re our winner!

girlfriday: Congratulations! *throws confetti*

javabeans: Thanks to everybody who participated in our giveaway extravaganza, and here’s to making Year #6 one to remember. In a good way, I mean. I have enough traumatizing memories already, thanks to clowns and math.

girlfriday: Thanks for that glimpse down memory lane. Now we know why you’re the evil twin.

javabeans: You say that like YOU aren’t.

girlfriday: I might be the good one! You never know!

javabeans: In the fourth dimension, maybe. Speaking of which, I hear dramaland calling my name. There’s a drama that needs recapping! *shoves girlfriday into the wormhole first*

girlfriday: AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!

Yeah me three!

Thanks once again to javabeans, girlfriday, and all the other wonderful guest recappers - I'm eternally grateful for the time & effort taken to do what you guys do; hats off to y'all - & fellow readers/commenters for adding colour to my otherwise-lonely-life of a K-drama fan/addict. And I have to reiterate what everyone else has said: it's so apt that the grand prize went to someone by the nickname "Kdrama Fan"! HAHA! Feels like we all won too! :D

Happy anniversary once again, and cheers to many more great years ahead!

Woah, that Coffee Prince picture is very appropriate.
2007, the birth of dramabeans am I correct? Well, just wanted to point that out.

Congratulations to the winner! Cheers to Dramabeans' five-year anniversary, and many more to come! And thank you for all the editors who work hard on this site, it wouldn't be the same without each one of you.

Yay to many more birthdays (and giveaways *wink wink*)!

And I keep wondering if you guys have a folder labeled "radio station pictures" and "birthday pictures"where you stash all the related pictures you find because theres always an appropriate picture for your podcast and birthday/anniversary giveaways!

Heh, I just read the winning comment (I had to know why a certain KDrama Fan was picked) and I just about agree with everything, good pick :).
At one point I wanted you guys to take a look on TW-Dramas but the reason I love and depend on DB is because of the Korean cultural insight it has that I lack or am unaware of. Recapping TW-Dramas, you guys would be a bit out of your element. I hope someone as great as you guys will pick up the baton with TW-Dramas though.

Thanks again JB, gear up for the Dream High 2 and Flower Boy Band premieres today!

Nice twins are boring! Give me the sassy ones everyday! Add in Santa who's either always drunk or just doesn't need to be nice at all like everyone else and we're set!

Looking forward to more wonderful recaps this year! So tonight/tomorrow there's DH2 & SU:FBB...will stalk DB till the recaps come out. ;)

Thank you dramabeans for all your sacrifice for fellow drama addicts. Wishing you drama enjoyment this year so all your work doesn't feel like work at all! Keep having fun watching or making fun of the kdramas you're watching!

Congrats to KDrama Fan! I went back to look for your comment and your suggestions were very good. I especially like the widget idea. I also agree with you on the points about how Dramabeans main pull is the writing and gossip may not be the right territory for the site to venture into.

Anyway, thank you Dramabeans for the wonderful celebration and I look forward to many more years of procrastination with you! =)

Hahahaa, thanks guys. Sometimes we do need a refresher. The only page I wasn't familar with is the Tag Index. Seems like I've never really paid attention to it but it'll definitely come in handy in the future.

Thanks again and happy 5 year anniversary to dramabeans! :)

p.s. I love love love the Coffee Prince screencap at the end. Halmoni is too cute.

I love that you used the cake scene from Woman Who Still Wants to Marry. For me, WWSWM is one of the few dramas that I randomly get the urge to rewatch an episode from and I always enjoy it. And that cake looks really good. :-)

Here's to 2012, everyone!
