How is it already this time of the year? Loving these awards, provides hilarious commentary, the one choice for mane of glory cracked me up! As did the last category, ha! Too right, i'm very much looking forward to the end of year recaps! I think this year was alright - i generally enjoyed the dramas i watched this year (besides dropping gumiho and only halfassing my way through heirs - bo na and chanyoung are tooo adorable for me to drop it) but im not sure if this year is going to be all that memorable for me in terms of dramas, i feel like i was expecting more

I guess Master's Sun is going to win a lot of awards this year!!!

And Heirs = most disappointing drama of the year for sure, I see that almost everyone agrees (given the numbers of course)! I agree as well...

But I'm surprised that Gu Family Book doesn't get more votes...

To be honest, I didn't watch that many dramas this year, so I couldn't vote for everything :/.

For sure, best mane of glory wasn't a difficult er... "choice" haha.

Heirs probably is popular in Korea, though. It's just that type of drama. People also gravitate towards sites that share their opinions... so since the site owners hate KES, it's not likely people will say they like the show.

It's the plus and minus of the Internet at the same time.

like cmon, seriously? the last one where the most stupid problems should be entire heirs. i mean , the plot's too heavy and its hard to take the cast too seriously cuz , just because. seriously the nerve in my head burst when the 'high school kids' act like some major-ass tragedy has occured.
and im sick and tired of all the (over)analyzing that goes on after each episode. its just the most overrated drama, which was disappointing cuz i actually love the cast. ppl can love the cast but its a huge lie if ppl think the story is remotely sensible. stupid, plain stupid

All of the dramas this year have been duds to me, except Secret and 2 weeks. Everything else just didn't hold my attention. I've only seen the 1st episode of Reply 1994 and it was pretty boring to me, but I'm going to marathon it after it ends because I really loved 1997. It's just that the episodes are so damn long!

The most overrated drama this year is definitely Master's Sun and Heirs to me. I didn't feel any chemistry between the leads, their kissing scenes sucked, and the drama as a whole was so predictable and lame. The Heirs is just crap...I Can Hear Your Voice didn't hold my attention and I don't think Lee Jong Suk is as good-looking or as good an actor as everyone here seems to think, but I guess I'll give it another chance once my Ji Sung drama spree has died down a little.

IHYV is among my favourite but Lee Jong Suk was definitely the weak link for me. He's just so bland and his acting is insipid, Park Suha the character deserved a more seasoned actor.

LULZ, the noona cats are going rip you a new a**hole for that comment.

I agree to your statement about LJS being the weakest link in the show though, because he was exactly that for me. I could see other actors playing PSH but LBY was irreplaceable as JHS (same went for a couple of the secondary characters, MJG, Grumpypants Boss Lawyer Shin, et al).

BUT I personally think he did a serviceable job with PSH. Commendable at the very least, given his lack of experience.

Actually, I think Secret is pretty overrated! The ending was very meh and I didn't think the characters were all that well-drawn. I will agree though that I enjoyed Lee Jong Suk in School 2013 alot more than in IHYV.

0

Required fields are marked *

I think Lee Jong Suk is really cute and quite charming - but as for actual acting skill/technique, he has a long way to go. I think IHYV actually highlighted his limitations, especially in some of the really ~dramatic~ scenes. He tries but doesn't have much emotional range yet. He's not a natural born actor, so he's going to have to work doubly hard to try and improve. I think alot of these popular actors in their 20s, the Kim Soo Hyun's, Lee Min Ho's, Lee Jong Seok's etc will have to look out for Yeo Gin Joo when he's old enough to start playing leads in primetime shows. He's definitely got the talent, and will only get better.

0

Required fields are marked *

Master's Sun ftw! The School 2013 bromance was the best no contest.

I think IHYV is overrated and AAMR is underrated. And I think there are more dysfunctional relationship in the other dramas more than in Heirs (like the weekend dramas like Soon-shin or King's Family not to mention Secret or That Winter). And I'm not disappointed with Heirs because I had low expectations to begin with so I'm kinda enjoying it as it is. I can't believe there are any good family and historical dramas this year (though I chose CGF because it was the least frustrating and Empress Ki even though it just started)

Hope there was a vote for best soundtrack because I really love Master's Sun's.

Master's Sun for ALLLLLL (the good) awards! :D

Also, after the finale today, "Mirae's Choice" should show up on the "most disappointing" and "most wasted talent" drama. Good lord.

And, I was a little sad to see that So Ji Sub could not be on the "best abs" category, as TMS did not treat us to that. Ah well!

I'm a little sad for End of the world and Cruel Palace. They were great dramas imo. At least Heartless City got some loving so I'm happy. Thank you JTBC and tvN.

Thanks for having us vote for our favorites instead of voting for the best. Its what we enjoy watching that matters whether it was great in the eyes of the critics or not.

Thank you for all the recaps/news caps etc etc this year. You ladies are fantastic <3.

I'm devastated that Ji Se-kwang isn't on the best villain list. "Yah! Ji Se Kwang!" Nor much of Incarnation of Money elsewhere either. I'd like to see it listed as the year's most underrated k-drama.

Yay! Been waiting for the start of the end-of-year polls and reviews. This year, I tried my darnedest to watch as many dramas as I could and yet looking at the sheer numbers of dramas present here, I realized how much I utterly failed, LOL.

Anyways, I realized that a lot of drama fit in several categories so I'll just list them here in this comment since I can't vote for more than one anyways.

Favorite dramas: School 2013, Secret, Nine, Two Weeks, Cyrano Dating Agency, I Hear Your Voice

Favorite Comedy: Answer Me 1994

Favorite Historical Drama: didn’t even watch a single one in this category.

Favorite Weekend Series: I gave up at some point on all four of the ones I started. Looks like weekend series and historical dramas are not my thing.

Favorite Action/Thriller: Hands down both Nine and Two Weeks.

Favorite Melodrama: Secret and somewhat That Winter, the Wind Blows.

Favorite Lead Couple: I Hear Your Voice’s puppy and noona and Master’s Sun’s OTP.

Favorite Secondary/Tertiary Couples: Samcheonpo and Yoon-jin; Heir’s Bona and Chan-young; and Master’s Sun’s Little Sun and Kang Candy.

Favorite Bromance: Hands down Nam-soon and Heung-soo. * SQUEE * Nobody else even comes close.

Villain Most Fun To Hate: I Hear Your Voice’s one-handed villain and Secret’s ex-bf hit-and-run bf.

Best Kiss: fake-oppa kiss of That Winter, The Wind Blows; Jin-wook’s sizzling kiss of Nine; puppy’s kiss from IHYV; Answer Me 1994’s oppa kiss.

Favorite character: there were way too many lovable characters. My pick goes to Go Nam-soon (School 2013); Soo (That Winter, The Wind Blows); Sun-woo (Nine); Baksa Adeul (Heartless City); Park Su-ha (IHYV); Park Shi-On (Good Doctor); Tae-San (Two Weeks); Young-do (Heirs); Joong-won (Master’s Sun); Bo-Na (Heirs); Oppa-yah (Reply 1994).

Fav Alternative Pairing: only Oppa-yah works for me if endgame is Chilbongie.

Most Dysfunctional Relationship: TWTWB, Secret, YTBLSS, Heirs

Breakout Performance: KIM FREAKING WOO BIN and LEE JONG SEOK. Also pretty much the cast of Reply 1994.

Most Disappointing Drama: TWTWB and Basketball because I had high expectations for them but they didn’t turn out so well (although TWTWB is way better than Basketball).

Biggest Waste of Talent: Jo Jung Seok (YTBLSS), Joo Won (Level 7 Civil Servant)

Overrrated: Heirs, Heartless City (only three characters were the best thing about this drama); Master’s Sun; TWTWB

Underrated: Nine, Two Weeks, School 2013 (was this really underrated??)

Best Abs: of course, the drama with the most abs..Reply 1994

Best frenemies: School 2013, IHYV

Best Paranormal: Nine, IHYV, Master’s Sun

I had too many in the Most fun to Hate Villains to vote for all of them. It seems like this year had more good villains than usual.

This years vote was especially hard for me mostly the favorite drama vote, sure Secret and I Hear Your Voice were easy choices for the first two slots but there were 4 or 5 more fighting for that last vote from me.

Also I think you picked the wrong kiss from Secret for the best kiss category. If the category was most important kiss of the year or of all time then the you're-fighting-me-'cause-you-want-it? kiss would be the right choice and frankly in my opinion should win but not for best kiss if, you don't understand the subtext that kiss just looks wrong. The kiss at the end should have been the choice and I would have voted for that simply because while I've seen plenty of guys playing around moving slower than molasses in January, I don't think I've ever seen the woman take matters into her own hands like that, certainly not in a melodrama.

Looks like I loved all the high school dramas this year... School 2013, Monstar and Heirs.

I hear your voice was really good at first and I was rooting it for drama of the year. But it fell flat at some point. The characters, the plot, the court explanations smelled of plastic, I could not longer connect with the story beyond the cute puppy gestures by Lee Jong Seok.

All the more for the rest of us then! :) Actually, he's been around for a good few years but only recently received more attention after his incredible performance in only 2 episodes of GMF (the very first ones to boot). Not to be factitious...but not everyone has been freaking out if you haven't appreciated it. ;] In all fairness the Mane of Glory category is intended as humour, so not be taken too seriously. And finally I'll just add that while most idol newbies instantly get a plumny role on a a popular show CJH has been working his way up through more lowkey roles and for most of us, the lovely nuanced presence he already had had blown up into full on charisma in his GFM role.

Still, not hard feelings that his acting holds no appeal for you.

Second, i have to agree with the many comments that mi-rae's choice should be among the most disappointing shows of 2013. haha
My favorite category was of course the least-tear inducing first world problems. I thought the whole cast of Heirs deserved that award, lol.

Haha I think most of the votes are going to the dramas in the latter half of the year. I'm assuming it's because it's fresh in our minds; or maybe that the first half had almost no good dramas (for me - GFB, Nine and Monstar excluded).

I don't know about other categories but most overrated - Heirs. And definitely most populated! I can't wait for the year end reviews and DB staff awards though. Those will be worth the read.

And the network awards. I can almost predict every single winner this year because there weren't too many dramas with ratings worth talking about. At least in the miniseries category.

KBS: Secret, GD, God of workplace
SBS: Heirs, IHYV, MS, That winter, Yawang,
MBC: GFB... And nothing -.-

It's been kinda low in good dramas this year... Both in terms or actual ratings and quality too. Hopefully next year is better.

I completely agree, Windsun33. I actually saw quite a few dramas this year that I thought were excellent - IHYV, Cruel City, Incarnation of Money, AM1994, Secret, Monstar, Two Weeks. To me, the quality of these dramas rival any of the "classics" from years past.

That being said, I flat out dropped more dramas than I ever have before - TWTWB, L7CS, Cyrano, Mirae's Choice, Who Are You. I almost never dropped a show I had started before this year, but I decided that my life is just too short to sit through a drama that has lost my attention.

Of course, there were quite a few that I should have dropped but didn't (the ones I heavily FF through). The most notable of those being YTBLSS, HYI, and Good Doctor. They all just had a little something - usually a character I loved - that compelled me to keep watching through the dreck.

A very mixed year for KDramas.
