2012 Beanie Awards: Vote for your favorite dramas of the year

Can you believe it’s December already? I know the awards shows have started to come ’round again, but it always feels like This Time Of Year always sneaks up on me — as in, the time when we take a look back at the best, the worst, the weirdest, and the most surprising dramas of the past year.

Our so-called Beanie Awards have been a tradition on this site pretty much since the beginning, and you can take a look into the wayback machine to see the state of years past. Here’s the 2007 Polls, 2009 Polls, 2010 Polls, and 2011 Polls.

You know what else this means: We’ll be rolling out our annual Year End Review Extravaganza in the coming days and weeks as well! Keep an eye out for our reviews, and if you’re curious at past installments, here’s a Year In Review tag for your convenient browsing purposes.

On to the voting!

I agree, TK2H really stepped it up on both the storyline and the way the relationships clicked with each other.

I love the cheekiness and the humor of the descriptions for the nominations, but I think some of the descriptions might bias the results of the poll.

Yes, I get it, this is not a scientific poll. But, still whether or not the writer liked the drama shouldn't have been added, cause it biases people's reaction and votes.

I'm not bashing or anything, but what's the appeal behind King 2 Hearts? I tried watching it and just... couldn't. I couldn't take the villain, the main characters were awesome though.

I'd say LSG had the most noteworthy break out performance because he really surprised me. I've seen him in previous dramas and thought he was passable but in K2H, he made me believe he was an actor.

Required fields are marked *

Totally agree with you there! Lee Seunggi certainly gave an outstanding performance!

LSG and Jo Jung-seok were awesome. And the strong main female never turned weak. The main couple (and secondary couple, who had their own love and storyline) were amazingly well written with great chemistry and had healthy equal relationships. The main bad guy started out a bit too cheesy, but settled down later into a more sinister character later.

Oh and King Jae Kang was a heartwarming and wonderful guy. All the main characters were so lovable (minus evil bad guy and his evil sidekicks)

0

For me, the appeal was the combo pack with this show.
It had comedy, melo, action, and romance all wrapped up in one. It has so much heart with its characters that you really do feel for them every time something went wrong.
It's not your typical k-drama and it's definitely not for the faint hearted.
I think for this show, if you didn't care for it then you probably won't fully immerse yourself into the world of K2H. But for the people that loved it, man. they LOVED it.
If i were just looking at the scenes for the cinematography, I'd say the K2H ranks up there as 2012's most beautiful shows. And the OST, man. The ost was to die for, used to heighten the emotions I felt for this show.
But given the premise, i can see why it wouldn't be someone's cup of tea.

Amen! Agree 100% to our wise maknae's words of wisdom :D

Double amen to that. I was just drawn in and Lee Seung Gi blew me away. At first I thought it was going to be the same over privileged annoying character. But it wasn't. The characters were so well written. We all got to see them grow and struggle with who they thought they were and who they had to become. The metaphors they used were brilliantly done. It was the first drama where I didn't guess the ending and didn't know what was coming.

Although, I as well almost stopped watching for the first few episodes because I found bong gu really childish, annoying and ridiculous as a villain. But I'm glad I kept going and gave it a chance as it got better and better! Yay TK2H!

0

I would say everything. From small things like how the mother-in-law was actually awesome and supported the daughter-in-law and herself. That there were no damsels in distress. That the secondary couple was its own couple. There was no love-triangle. There was no first love story. It was simply a breath of fresh air. And Ah-Ha couple was perfect!

ditto with king of dramas. Dramaland felt more like a deserted land this year, except for a few show here and there. Besides, Answer me: 1997 and King of Dramas, everything else was pretty disappointing. Moon/sun was good but mehh, I probably only really liked it cause of Kim Soo hyun. Same with To the Beautiful you! The guy that played Eun Gyul stole the show. Don't really know what will happen this month though, School 2013 looks very promising!

I beg to differ. I watched both K2H and QIHM and despite loving the toe-kiss, there's something so novel about the refrigerator kiss in K2H. To each her own though :)

The toe kiss in QIHM was hot but the refrigerator kiss in K2H was hotter. That was some serious kissing right there.

0

Absolutely. The King 2 Hearts kiss was steamy stuff.

0

Agreed...

0

I think the toe kiss in QIHM was hot.
But the K2H kiss was just built up sexual tension between the two and denials that when they did actually kiss = SUPER hot.
I think if one were to judge both scenes individually the QIHM would probably top the cake but if you completely immersed yourself into K2H's OTP the feeling is much more potent.

K2H's kiss was epic. <3

0

Agree with you, maknae. The undeniable attraction between our K2H OTP was just sizzling so when they finally succumbed to that attraction, the screen was practically crackling during the refrigerator kiss. It was just so awesome, I think.

0

What's so awesome about the fridge kiss is that on one hand, they are trying to break the engagement, but Jaeha is telling HangAh that her idea of marrying an Arabian man isn't going to work and she's telling him how she's gonna do it... yet their mouths are drawing closer and closer to each other as if they have a life of their own. It's like trying to pull 2 magnets of the opposite poles apart, but you can't cos their pull towards each other is too strong!

i also LOVE the way they eye each other and how Jaeha looked that HA's mouth, them back to her eyes and then the mouth again as if it was a juicy morsel he has to savour!!!!!!

heh, actually I didn't even watch QIHM (had not time) and I still know that it had the best kisses thanks to all the Youtubers that chrioncled every move between that OTP

Agree! I don't seemto find any spark on that scene and why they always point that out. Out of all the kisses in Answe Me 1997.
Staircase kiss would make a fight among those nominees!
Or the one in the sink. You know, Shi-won bending over blah blah. HAHAHA

Yes, what happened to that bend-over backward kiss by Yoon Jae?

Haha..I can't even remember the Gaksital kiss but yeah, I'd say K2H completely wins this. I had to refresh my memory via youtube and the kiss in K2H was sweet, sexy and hot all rolled into one. The combination of acting, what was said between them and OTP made it really quite epic.

My second favorite was Answer Me's fountain kiss. It was sweet and pure, and completely conveyed that first kiss feeling. Loved it!

Great idea except I'd never be able to narrow it down to just one tagline as being the funniest. Thanks so much jb and gf-- I hope you guys had as much fun coming up with the taglines as we did reading them.

Hehe this was fun! Ahh I had such a fun time reading all the captions for each selection. All my votes aren't in the top though :( Why isn't SUFBB more well-liked around here? Nice Guy seems to be sweeping up everything. Have added it to my to-watch, hope it's as good as everyone says!

Agree @ SUFBB. I am doing a flow chart of sorts where I find other kd with the SUFFB actors in it - (Dalja's Spring, White Christmas, etc.)

Previously did the same thing with BOF actors, creating a convoluted systematic way of working through the vast world or kdramas. Keeps the eye candy thread going.

Now I just need a wall chart, complete with pics, to hang over my bed :)

I have high hopes for FB Next Door!

And I was NOT pleased to have to choose between Arang and Satto for best character :(

omo... is time your bestfriend?! or you've got supernatural powers that you can put your life on a freeze mode? so you watch a 16-episode (or moooore) drama with all the sobbing, the laughing, the swooning, the head-scratching, hair-pulling, and kissing you see and feel, you can get back on your life without missing some?! how i envy you my dearie.. to date, i have only seen a few (Operation Proposal, TK2H, and Arang are those from year-to-date), some of those dramas i've watched are from previous years... so, imagine how much of catching up do i have to do?! aigooo...

My secret.... I haven't gotten more then 4 hours of sleep since June. It's seriously become an addiction. The funniest thing is that I been talking about nothing else but kdramas, & gotten 2 of my closest friends hooked too!! Soo now I have people to fangirl with. Now if I can convince them to like Kpop.. I need someone to help me with my Bigbang obsession.

Lol. I actually started a blog and listed all the dramas I watched since June. If you add the Jdramas, and Tdramas it's around 80. :/

Buwhaha, I was having a similar thought. There are actually one or two from this year that I haven't watched, like "You who rolled in unexpectedly", but on the other hand, I've cut up on dramas dating back to 2003. And I only started watching K-dramas this summer. I had run out of things that I wanted to watch on netflix and hulu, and suddenly I was into foreign language stuff... and then... there were K-dramas. I am self-employed and watch TV on my computer while I work.

Same here! It's all Netflix fault.. It kept suggesting I watch Lie to me... I still don't know why??? Lie to me led to Boys over Flowers, Coffee Prince, then the drama that I will always love & blame for my addiction, You are beautiful. The rest is history.
I actually work full time & go to school so I just watch Dramas at nighttime.

The "romantic comedy" section pretty much sums up the whole year for me: "Let's do the time warp agaaaaain!"
Because in K-drama world, crossing the DMZ is harder than time travel. (And, perhaps in the real world, too.)

king of dramas i wanted to rate highly, but since it hasn't finished its run yet (aka has plenty of time to go downward spiraly on us, as so many initially-fine predecessors have done—please no) i left it off for a few categories.

kind of a lackluster year on the whole in my opinion. there were some very good ones that i thoroughly loved to the end, like queen inhyun's man (beautiful, beautiful) and vampire idol (i usually hate hammy stuff, but this show really got my heart and i loved it for all it was worth). i liked what's up (for the life of me, i could NOT find quality torrents for that show while it was airing, so my viewing was limited to not-as-satisfying tudou links...). answer me 1997 was, of course, a gem. i couldn't relate to everything since i was a few years too young to have lived through that period, but eunji was the breakout star for me in that one. loved, loved her performance. she deserves just as much praise as yoon-jae!! also, unexpected you was a great favorite with me this year. it was the perfect dose of light comedy/romance/family and much needed.

gentleman's class was very overrated, and i got quickly bored, but i do get why it was popular. pretty things and people abundant, with lots of snappy dialogue. in the end i couldn't stand either jang dong-gun or kim ha-neul, and was mostly checking it out for the eye candy/fashions. breakout star? the chungdam witch.

in a way, i almost might rate rooftop over big as my biggest drama disappointment. big was far worse overall (THAT. ENDING), but i adored rooftop much more to begin with, so the letdown was bigger in that sense. big was a pretty terrible drama. hong sisters will want to/should want to sweep that under the rug/stash it up in the attic with the skeletons.

then there were dramas that i loved and were suckered into quite intensely, but forgot about surprisingly quickly once they ended. namely, moon-sun and arang. i enjoyed both, particularly the latter while the mystery was in full swing, but i don't know that i'd want to re-watch either one, except kim soo-hyun and the child actor scenes.

i had such a fun time picking my categories and reviewing/remembering what i watched this year! thank you!! :)

my 3 top favorite dramas this year was Queen In Hyun's Man, History of the Salaryman and ,Gaksitaaaaal.

Answer Me 1997 and Arang and the Magistrate was awesome too.

I skipped so many melos this year but maybe i should watch Nice Guy and Padam Padam before the year ends.

I can't decide between Queen In-Hyun's man and K2H for best couple. It's impossible.

I agree. I went with K2H simply because it's more of a partnership, but the love story is better in QIHM. My two favorite dramas this year for sure.

K2H couple I think is the best couple in k-drama land.
They kept each other going and individually are such strong, layered characters. Seriously, I can't find a love that's stronger than theirs.
But i thought QIHM's couple was bursting in chemistry and just so sweet and fresh the way they fell in love.
All in all, K2H OTP killed everything I ever thought of kdrama couples (in a good way).

I also agree with you considering the wide age gap between otp, K2H still was able to create the best chemistry for me . Although my number 1 otp of all time HB and HJW

Yeah, I ended up voting K2H. Such a lovey and adult relationship with two people who worked well together and were equal partners. QIHM was amazing, but Boong-do had most of the plot relevant action, though that's no slight to Hee Jin because there wasn't much she could do. Plus they had less votes for QIHM.

I went with QIHM couple because i loved them more. I honestly felt as if i was watching two friends fall in love from the sidelines and cheering them on. Though I will say that i was stuck between them and K2H. Both the best couples this year I believe. I just went with what I loved to see more of and seeing as how i liked The Princess/Guard love story a tiny bit more in K2H thats a sign that I shouldn't be voting for it. IMO.
