A Gathering of Writers to Say Thank You

by samsooki

Introduction

Unbeknownst to Javabeans or Girlfriday, many of the magical creatures in k-dramaland gathered together in a secluded glen within the kingdom of Dramabeans, long after the fey mistresses of the kingdom had gone to bed. They had known for some time that Dramabeans was nearing its 5,000th post (!!), and they racked their brains to come up with a suitable way to say thank you to celebrate the occasion.

For certain, were it not for Javabeans and Girlfriday, many of these creatures would be hanging out on tough street corners, or getting into dramas that no self-respecting elf or gnome should watch. How to thank the lifegivers of Dramabeans for providing so much entertainment, knowledge, heart, community and love? With that in mind, may I present the well-wishes and appreciation from the new and the old: a panoply of heartfelt congratulations for Post no. 5,000!

My Beautiful Love Story With Dramabeans – by gummimochi

My story began back in 2007 when I was watching Coffee Prince. I was searching the internet to hunt down the Coffee Prince soundtrack and ‘lo and behold – I found it: a hidden cave of wonders . Without intending to stay, I started to read the drama recaps and instantly became hooked! Here was a place where someone would give her frank two cents, sharing in my obsession with Korean entertainment in a smart, witty, and hilarious manner. Javabeans’ and Girlfriday’s opinions became the gold standard of my K-drama future: which drama I would watch next and the ones I would recommend to friends. I break into a wide smile and my heart races whenever a new post goes up.

Dramabeans is so much more than a simple recap & entertainment site to me – it inspired me to start writing about what I love. It’s been only a few months so far, but I am so honored to be a part of a team of such talented writers. Congratulations Dramabeans on reaching 5,000 posts and counting!

An Excuse to Fawn Over Dramabeans – by kaedejun

I stumbled upon the site way back when it was under a different URL (javabeans.wordpress.com) and had to be ported over to dramabeans.com. I found the site right when I was at the peak of my obsession. (Have I peaked already? Am I still peaking?) But I wasn’t hooked to this site… until the recaps for Coffee Prince.

After the fanaticism of You’re Beautiful, I begged, pleaded, wailed on scuffed knees (ok, I emailed – but that’s not dramatic) to write the recaps for the drama IRIS. Wow Javabeans must have been crazy to entrust me with that. Sometimes I still wonder what she was thinking to even let me continue writing on her site!

So to the reasons why I love Dramabeans: it provides a 24/7 forum for interesting discussion on actors and dramas both on and off the set, inspiring venomous hatred and passionate ardor from fans around the world to fuel the long debates. It’s a mover-and-a-shaker; and without a doubt, Javabeans and Girlfriday are profoundly influential in the drama-watching world.

Every day, Javabeans and Girlfriday churn out well-written content one after another with frankness, insight, and well-founded opinions that you are free to agree or disagree with – but you can’t deny it’s made you curious about dramas or issues you never knew about before. The most important reason why I love Dramabeans? It’s because it wouldn’t be ‘dramabeans’ without Javabeans and Girlfriday. I toast to you gals a hefty cup of makgulli! One shot!

You’ve Only Just Begun – by sassychef

You know those “Ah-ha!” moments you have once in awhile? Well, discovering Dramabeans was one of those moments for me. My impatient nature (which I’m trying to work on, by the way) couldn’t wait for the next episode of Secret Garden, so I searched and searched online to see if anyone could feed my addiction on what to be expected. That’s when I came upon this little goldmine, and thus began my love affair with Dramabeans.

Not only was I able to find a place where I can find cache of goodies to put in my queue for further drama pleasure, but the posts were written in a sharp, witty and at times snarky ways that I loved! (I mean, come on! Girlfriday naming Ha Ji-won (playing Hyun Bin’s role) Joo-wanda. Joo-wanda!! LOL! How could I not come back for more??) Javabeans’ and Girlfriday’s love of drama and writing has led to creating a dynamic site that so many of us has come to love and cherish. Having had the honor and pleasure to become a part of this incredible team has been a fantastic journey so far, and can’t wait to be a part of the next 5,000 posts. Congratulations Dramabeans, and we love you!! xoxo

Congratulations To Dramabeans! – by Thunderbolt

Wow, 5,000? I still remember the first Dramabeans post like it was yesterday. (That one resonated with me because I’ve always been keenly interested in any discussion on fansubs. Incidentally, I love Javabeans for the many times she has stood up for fansubbers.) And in three short months the blog will celebrate its 5th anniversary!

I came to Dramabeans via the Dal-Ja’s Spring recaps that Javabeans first posted on Soompi. The recaps were so witty and well written I was floored. Over the years, I have grown to love many things about the site. The breadth and depth of the writing. The humor. The goodies that you share (all those songs!) and the surprises that you spring (girlfriday! podcasts! Santa!).

I love that the posts can be serious but also silly, and that there’s no such thing as too much squee-ing. I love the occasional catfights, too. (Bora must die! Why I like Jang Nara!) You taught me that not everything is newsworthy, but that which is worth writing about should be written with heart and commitment. You make me proud to be a kdrama addict. Happy 5,000 posts, Javabeans and Girlfriday!

Onward Ho! – by Dahee Fanel

If my goldfish memory serves me correctly, I first encountered Javabeans on the Dal-Ja’s Spring thread over at Soompi in 2007. She was smart and witty and apparently a coffee addict, so of course I liked her and her insightful contributions to the thread right away. Before long, she was posting recaps of the show in the thread. I read them even though I don’t, and didn’t, need summaries of a show to understand what was going on, thanks to my (sometimes) useful fluency in Korean. I read them and loved them. And then when I found out that she had a blog, I went there and read every single post. That was the beginning.

Dramabeans has gone through a lot over the years. As a cheering bystander, I’ve watched it wax and grow from a little blog that housed JB’s drama addictions, to the K-drama powerhouse it is today. There was a time when there weren’t many (or any, rather) English-language blogs on Korean dramas, just like there was a time when we had to rent tapes from Korean video rental stores to watch the dramas that we love, and had no one to discuss them with online. (Oh the loneliness of those days!) The times have changed, and now all us K-drama fans can gather and debate, growl and squee to our hearts’ contents. Dramabeans has become one of the most precious of these gathering places.

What I love about Dramabeans is its passion. The passion for Korean dramas, movies, actors/actresses, variety shows, and Korean culture in general. That passion, that love and commitment, seeps through every single word in every single blog post, and it has since the very beginning. This is how dramas should be watched. This is how they should be written about. With love, respect, humour, and intelligence. Dramabeans, through the magic fingers of Javabeans and Girlfriday, has done this for 5,000 posts. Here’s to 5 gazillion more. Congratulations!!

Two Truths – by samsooki

I’ll let you in on two truths to k-dramaland. The first seems axiomatic but really isn’t: whether one is a prince or a pauper, on the inside we are all the same. This is the basis of the magic that keeps us so enthralled: that all of us are equal, only differentiated by the extent of our pluckiness! Yet stepping back, this truth helps only a little in understanding the universe. For true exploration, a trustworthy guide is a must, as k-dramaland is a very big place. And dramabeans has been that wonderful guide, an orphic counselor that weaves analysis and deconstruction with passion and wit. And more! With its open commentary style, dramabeans has also developed a tight-knit community whose warmth and tolerance for newbies has seen its numbers multiply by a magnitude – and isn’t it true that samsooki himself was forged in the crucible of an open thread?

The other truth is that we tend to live entire lifetimes through each drama series, gaining cherished memories of our favorite characters along the way. As each series ends and others begin, even now, how many lifetimes has the dramabeans community all shared together, and how many memories have become so cherished? All thanks to Javabeans and Girlfriday, I can’t imagine a better place to be, lifetime after lifetime, learning and sharing, and laughing and crying with everyone here.

*******

And with those parting thoughts, the magical creatures bade each other a good night. With a nod and a cheery wave, each creature sent a heart-felt thanks toward Castle Dramabeans and then disappeared back into the mists of k-dramaland – to rest, work, sleep or play. It would not do at all to dawdle; after all, there are always more things to do in k-dramaland.

Congratulations JB, GF and fellow contributors

I have had a blast reading your well-written recaps and other posts that I just want to show my appreciation. Thank you JB for creating this blog that brings fellow k-drama addicts from all over the world where we could have spazzfest over actors (Leo Seo Jin, Kim Nam Gil, Yoon Kye San mine! Too many? Uh uh I believe in polyandry!) and encourage each other when life sucks.

Wish all of you the best and may we have 5000 more posts in the future. If not we will hunt you down because K-drama addicts are everywhere. (No we won't but you don't want to meet us when we have been deprived of our JB addiction so beware!)

Congrats to Javabeans, Girlfriday, and the entire Dramabeans family of writers, readers, and commentators for reaching this milestone. DB is truly an unmatched Heaven for the K-drama fan and addict alike.

I wouldn't know where my K-drama journey would have started if not for the friends here at DB. It's like home. No matter where I go, I can always come back, and feel like it's the same brilliant writing and discussion waiting for me.

Wow, I've been reading JB's (and GF's posts) now for more than 3 years -- I feel OLD(er)!!!!! Thanks for the work you do. It is genuinely appreciated by every one of us who waits with bated breath for every recap as we struggle with our addiction with kdrama crack. I know I'm not the only one who has refreshed the page and cheered inside whenever a post comes up. In fact, I remember the days of YB, when the site would actually crash when a recap would go up....those were the crazy days.

I know everyone who contributes to this site have lives outside of kdrama recaps. It consumes a steady portion of my life, and I'm not even writing recaps, taking screencaps, analyzing the plot, and just being generally wonderful! I know it seems like sometimes people forget that this is an extracurricular activity, as they demand for certain recaps or question why a recap is taking longer to be posted. Please don't ever be discouraged by then. We worship you as much as we worship our kdramas.

Fighting!! Looking forward to another 5,000 posts!!!

You guys (including all the visitors who post comments) are so awesome. I think we all know what a huge contribution Dramabeans is to our k-drama lives and would all be lost with out Javabeans, Girlfriday and all the guest writers. The first thing I do every morning is check this site (sometimes, no lie, since I'm in a different time zone I actually sleep with my computer beside me so I can check for recaps of dramas I'm hooked on but the subs haven't come out yet). Dramabeans definitely makes the k-drama experience all that more enjoyable!!

My kdrama experience now isn't complete until I've read an episode's recap here. I had so much fun on the wild ride you took us on with Story of a Man, Personal Taste, Secret Garden, Kim Sam Soon (thanks samsooki!), BBF, Can't Lose now (just from the recaps!), MSOAW (just watched the first two and then read the last few recaps because they were so fun and the eps so ridiculous!), City Hunter, Scent of a Woman... and others to check out what your thoughts on them were. I loved the Jang Nara debate, even though I hadn't seen Love Patzzi,... and the 100 pound beauty debate, as I HAD seen that, and was only sad that I hadn't been around when it had happened...

Thank you very much for your posts, you churn out entertaining articles every day that keep me more entertained than most of the dramas that are out there. The humor and commentary on recaps make them so much fun to read =) Can't wait for the new season of dramas to start - which I'll probably be reading recaps of more than watching, to save time. Can't thank you all enough! *hugs hugs hugs*

Your site is truly a blessing for all of us in dramaland who don't speak the languages (korean, mandarin and japanese) fluently. Your comments guide us as to which choices you'd make for our viewing pleasure but, like a good parent, you let us make our own choices. To help us, you recap, critique, and let us in on th latest "happenings" in this wonderful world of drama. You have followers all over the world and from this Puerto Rican lady may I say "FELICIDADES EN SU POSTEO #5000 Y GRACIAS POR UNIR A PUERTO RICO CON KOREA, CHINA, JAPON, TAIWAN, etc."

May God Bless all the wonderful people who make this site a success!

I'm not sure how I discovered this site but I feel as if I visited the old wordpress blog. Regardless, I've been following the blog off and on for years. Without Dramabeans, I'm sure I would have missed out on some great dramas and wasted my time on some duds!!! All your hard work has not gone unnoticed!

Congratulations for (currently nearing) the 5000th post! I've been on here since the IRIS recap days when I'd watched the drama with Chinese subs and needed some sort of back up to my poor language skills. While I dropped the drama, I still love this site dearly. I was a mere middle school student when I started reading your recaps, and this site has greatly improved my essay analyses and writing abilities! Thank you Girlfriday and Javabeans, because both of you have influenced me greatly, and your posts (recaps or not) always rock. And thank you to all the other "magical creatures," for contributing to Dramabeans and for notifying us fans of the 5000th post!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ALL OF YOU WRITERS ON DRAMABEANS! I have a few real life friends who check out kdramas, but they aren't really into it as I do. You have all made me and my hobby a little less lonely. I love feeling your love and appreciation for kdramas in your posts and recaps.

I'm jealous that I can't remember when was the first dramabeans post I've read or when I first posted. One day, I'm going to dig around. All I remember was that I was definitely here for Hong Gil Dong. Javabeans's commentary of Hong Gil Dong's last episode saved the drama for me!

I've never really commented, but I felt the need to say CONGRATULATIONS on your 5000th post! Because of you, I've been able to produce MVs easier (I use the recaps to find clips, saves time) but I also feel the need to blame you. BECAUSE I use the recaps, I find myself getting sucked in and reading everything, which means they take twice as long to make anyway. ;D
However, I love you for it. I wouldn't take back any of those wasted hours. ^^ <3

Keep writing, I'll keep reading, and we'll all keep loving. :D

Congratulations Javabeans and Girlfriday!

I can only say that, like many others, Dramabeans has touched my life and brought me a lot of joy when I didn't have much to be joyful about. I discovered kdramas via jdramas, which I stumbled across during a years-long period of insomnia and illness. Kdramas made the long nights pass more quickly and made me laugh when I was in such excruciating pain that I wanted to give up on living. And Dramabeans was like a friend watching with me, when I had to deal with all of this alone. It became the first website I checked when I woke up and the last one at night - some days Javabeans' voice was the only one I 'heard' all day.

It's been 3 years since I discovered this blog, and I still check it at least once a day. I will never forget the comfort I got from your eloquent, hilarious, squee-worthy and very sane writing. Like Gil Ra-im said about Oska's music: It's my pain-killer.

Thank you both and much love - in Samsooki's words, may we share many lifetimes to come!

Everyone could recap dramas but your recaps impart insight and knowledge that gives us a wider understanding of the culture, language and customs of their universe. Thanks to your commitment to excellence we receive outstanding and unparalleled recaps.

Hi Ladies (Javabeans and Girlfriday),

I'm one of those that never write. I just enjoy the witty comments and bantering on your website, but this is a momentous occasion. It's only right that I say a BIG THANK-YOU. Good-times, bad-times, and escape-times you've been there religiously churning up great postings, and I was there from the very beginning as an admirer, reader, and cheerleader. Thanks for everything- this blog has become very much as apart of my coffee in the morning, dinner in the evening, and my dosage of happiness.

Your work matters- just like a good book, a great piece of music, or a good friend- it makes us think, get angry, and even occasionally cry. Keep up the great work. Also, thank-you to your guest bloggers . . . they are just as fabulous.

Congratulations on the 5000th post! Wow, it seemed only like yesterday when I stumbled upon dramabeans while looking for Coffee Prince recaps and found javabeas' recaps articulating so well what I felt about the show...and the rest is, well, history. Thank you girls, and all writers, for fueling my passion and love for k-dramas! <3

Congratulations! This blog has been my go-to-when-procrastinating site for the last 4 (?) years. It was such a blessing to find a site that would seriously discuss kdramas with humour and intelligence.

You have been there all through my university days to help me put off that urgent assignment for yet another hour, and for that I thank you.

Also to the guest bloggers, you are all awesome =]
