i dont care what everybody said, but my BEST 3 DRAMAS of the YEAR:

> NICE GUY: because I just love SJK :)
> ANSWER ME 1997: The rookies were all GOOD :)
> ROOFTOP PRINCE: I didn't know Yoochun is an idol and he actED well. I just love him :)

1997

I wish Jae Shin and Shi Kyung from King 2 Hearts had been an option for favorite couple or there had been a second lead favorite couple. The reason I watched that it was for those characters not for the mains. This is my favorite homage to them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-cwNnv9ynw

For me NICE GUY all the way!best kdrama 2012!

PADAM PADAM!!! <3

very funny and intresting Comments for each category! :-)
thanks.
A very good year in dramaland. funny, romantic and (very) sad dramas. I enjoyed them a lot.
and also thanks so much Dramabeans for the reviews and news. Nice Job!

first time voter and i haven't watched all the dramas on this list yet but i really do love reply me 1997 and QIHM - esp QIHM. i've never chased a drama so hard before and to hear that the couple are a couple IRL was x4982548598762 better ^^

am defo going to check out TK2H, Gaksital and Moon/Sun when i'm free-er cause a lot of people have been raving about it ;P

i love faith LMH

wow, Nice Guy is doing really well in the polls. I'm surprised, in a way, it's so melodramatic. I kind of expected something slightly on the comedy side to win. But then again, this year has been full of melo dramas...

actually, I expected Answer Me 1997 to take first....it was so funny and I feel that a lot of us can relate...(regardless of your age)

I enjoy voting 'cause you are hilarious. The end.

Where is Ojakgyo Brothers? I want to vote it:'(

I had so much fun reading the descriptions that in the end, it made it so hard for me to vote! Either way, thank you so much for all the time and effort you guys took to craft these wonderful responses!

Can't wait to see the results!

My favorite drama is Shut Up Flower Boy Band #1 ^___^
everything about it...the story, the heart and soul, the theme and plot, the message, the acting, the characters, the relationships, the music, the ending, the eye candy =p...just do yourself a favor and watch it!

I love Answer me 1997, K2H and QIHM!!!
This characters were refreshing and adorable and will forever be in my heart T^T
also King of Dramas is growing on me! HILARIOUS!

I actually like I need Romance 2012 but the ending parts were frustrating =( same thing with MOON/SUN and Rooftop Prince, I was loyal till the last 4 episodes.

and Nice Guy...i love the acting, and the first episodes were amazing but the story was just so (no offense people) retarded.

Arang was really good but doesn't seem to stick as one of my favorites

Dr. Jin and Faith were my biggest disappointments, i wanted them to be good but i couldn't go past the first 2 weeks.
Big just didn't deliver.
Dream High 2...i had a feeling it wasn't going to be good so I didn't expected much.
To the beautiful You...sorry but i wouldn't call that acting and the characters were so robotic and flat and un-personal.

My favorite Korean Drama for this year is definitely Gaksital!! So intense, so dark, so many things that still stuck in my head rite now. And, of course, SUPERB acting performance by the lead and supporting actors!!
GAKSITAAAALLL FTW!!

Is the poll closed now?

it's my second time, first was last year.. too many good drama this year, i couldn't choose top 3 becoz at least i have 4 fave drama of this year..
Answer Me 1997, Queen Inhyun's Man, Nice Guy, and The King 2 Hearts.. Also Shut Up Flower Boy Band and Gaksital...

why was there no poll for second pairing? i totally heart K2H's princess and bodyguard and Reply's Hak Chan and Yoo Jung!

it felt like eternity scrolling down.. for me the most successful and heartwarming drama of the year was "answer me 1997"..exceptional story and mindblowing acting..shiwon was so kickass..i so want to be so much like her!!
nice guy comes second for me..though i don't get why it's not in the melodrama category!
and yes..big was the biggest disappointment of the year..i was so enjoying it till ep 15 but the last episode it made big spiral down to negative infinity!!

LMAO~~"Mane of Shame" category is the BEST!!

well, for 2012, I really enjoyed:
King 2 Hearts
Nice Guy
Arang
QIH's Man
Gaksital
king of drama

but in the end, the one that really dear in my heart is K2H ^^

why no nomination for can we get married???!! seriously the best rom-com, best couple, best ost too~ >w<

oh btw, my top 3 favorite dramas~
- answer me 1997: because it's so DAMN cute. the last few episodes are super annoying, but it doesn't make this drama less cute.
- can we get married: best! romcom! top notch directing and music.
- the chaser: awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <3 <3 <3

No hardcore Reply 1997 fans? Or Chaser? Those are the ones that just scratched my heart and never cared to put neosporin on it.

I am REALLY REALLY Surprised at how well Nice Guy is doing in the poll.

I watched the whole thing, and although I liked it, in the end I felt like I had just been cheated into thinking it was an amazing drama when really nothing much happened :s

when is it

I have not really seen any standout dramas this year - or perhaps I have just seen so many K-dramas that I am getting a bit more critical of bad writing, bad acting, and over-the-top makjang. None of the 2012 entries are in my top-10 list of all time, though Drama King is a contender, depending on the next few episodes.

Also a couple of what I would have voted as worst were not on the list, such as Feast of the Gods & Panda & Hedgehog.

GOSH Operation Proposal needs "most persistent first love" He bloody went back in time 15 times just so that he could get his first love .... one man who needed to give up and move on she was obviously not meant to be with him but ended up anyway.

Some of these votes are a little biased ... please Nice Guy isn't that good!

Okay, so seriously.... SERIOUSLY! How come no one is spazzing over Queen In-Hyun's Man? It was truly quite a gem of a drama, right up along the ranks of Coffee Prince for me; it's enormously intelligent, so beautifully acted, and it flows so remarkably... I mean FINALLY, a drama that doesn't have that stereotypical and overkill demarcation of good and evil... Finally, a drama with a storyline that actually makes sense.

And the chemistry of the lead couple? Solid. They ended up dating in real life after this, and boy does it ever show on-screen.

A gem.

Nice Guy

no best posse for this year? although i guess answer me 1997 would win that one :)

I voted only for dramas that I watched so far. So probably most of it from KBS and SBS. Anyway love the short description followed it. I don't think I can think about it. I practically ROFL every time I read it.

There are so many k-dramas that I haven't watched this year. It seems like I will forever be behind, aha! There are 11 dramas (not to mention the old ones that I want to watch) on my list now! Le flippin sigh! :P

2012 was the year I discovered KOREA!!! LOL!!! For the last 11 months I have been craving all things Korean. Txvq JYJ was my gateway into K pop. So, naturally Rooftop Prince was my gateway into k drama . This drama held my non attention span through all 16 episodes.

On the flip side Dr Jin was a disappointment. Worst drama ever. My Kim Jae Joong bias is strong but alas not strong enough!!!!

Arang is just my everything. And havent felt this for a longgg time.

It's SOOOO HAAARRD ! ^^ How A I to chose between the best performance between Yoo Seung Ho's Jade Emperor et Jo Jung Suk's version of the King's buddy ? Seriously ? And How is it possible to determine what drama is more fucked up between Dr Jin, Big, And Fashion King ? (no seriously XD) Maybe Big, because it gave something to hope for in the beginiing. The other two did not even bother.
I just want to say Gaksital, Answer Me, Shut Up, Queen In Hyun's Man and Jade Emperor everywhere ;) And King 2 Hearts deserves the palm of the best OVNI ever ^^

Gaksital and no one else is the best drama

first time voting in a beanie awards xP ijust want to say that the little captions next to the choices are hilarious. "Dr. Jin: we transcended sense" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I didnt finish watching king 2 hearts but when i watch their ost i think that gaksital is more intersting than k2h..no offense but to those who did not watch gaksital promise its worthy in every single seconds you dont regret to watch it..its very interesting and lessonable.

Please, I am begging you, add Rooftop Prince's SeNa to the best villain list! She was a horrible, horrible person. We're talking hate levels of 11 for that character.

Sad, no love for 적도의 남자

Can I get a redo because I wated before I watched Answer me 1997 and QIHM.

I meant voted -__-
