Woah im glad DB came to the other side! Good luck with this.

You guys can't even imagine my surprise when I watched this and found out you are Koreans.i am new to dramabeans so I always think all dramabeans Staffs are Americans. Dnt even know why I thought so

😍😍😍😍😍
Javabeans and Girlfriday, just thought Mondays couldn’t get any better and you surprised us with the vlog!!

Oh my fangirl’s heart!! Thank you for everything you do for us Beanies.

Looking forward to it! Just some feedback, can you look into using a lavalier mic set-up? It is a bit hard to hear/discern some of the audio.

I downloaded the video to watch later, I need to bump up the volume a bit. Nice to see your faces again (I saw some shots of you both back in the podcast days), love your hair(s)! :D

Oops, forgot to add, if you do this again, please either increase the volume on the video or use mics? It's hard too hear at some points. Other than that, it's cool!!!

A VLOG??
*dies*

Oh, man, now I really have to dig deep in my bad memory for the IG password.
Love your visibility and please do share more!
Genuine for BTLIOF is perfect.

I don't listen to music, so please more of the other dramas merchandise in the shop. And is it possible to feature the make up you offer in the vlogs, it looks good, but can you for example do tutorials or show the existing ones out there?

Heol! My jaw literally dropped when I saw this! I remember years ago, someone posted a photo of you two and it was a big deal because you were strictly in incognito mode in those days. I applaud your courage to put yourselves out there like this-- you've come a long way.

Btw, I was one of those who said "JB's baaack" when the first Revolutionary Love recap was out, but I didn't mean to imply that you'd been away from Dramabeans-- I know you're always working super hard behind the scenes. I just meant that it was a relief to see you invested in a drama again after having experienced what seemed like was a particularly depressing drama-drought.

Rock on!

OMG a vlog! I've been missing your podcasts so much but this is a nice replacement!

So glad both of you have BTLIOF as your fave, like so many of the rest of us. <3 Genuine is a perfect word for the drama. Gah. I love it so much.

How exciting! I just love listening to you guys, even when you're poking fun at a terrible drama. For example, the podcast for Mask. Now that you will be doing these vlogs, I think I can forgive you two that it's been 161 days since your last podcast. 😉 Thanks ahead of time for the vlogs!

Enjoyed your 1st vlog! Both of you look amazing, btw. I’d like to know what your skin regimen and make up routine is! And how do you decide what to put in your beauty shop? Is it through sponsors/advertisers, things you actually use? I’m addicted to the kbeauty shop right now. I want to buy everything! Thanks!

Wow dramabeans first vlog! I'll definitely check it out. I've always been secretly curious as to how all the contributors look like and we get a first glimpes of javabeans & girlfriday. How lucky are we! Thanks~

This is so awesome!! When I saw this post, I was super surprised that I had to click in. I just finished watching the Vlog and it was really great. I like how there was a summary of the topics in the details section of the video. Watching the Vlog had a different feeling from reading your posts which is a nice change but I still love reading your comments as well. Keep up the good work! Fighting! :)

But what about Beanies who do not have Instagram accounts (and never plan on having any, lol)?

Yayyy now we can see you girls!! *wave*
I've been missing the podcast too but this is a nice and surprising replacement!!

Wow, a weekly commitment! I'm more than happy to hear your thoughts every week!! Though, I have to admit vlog is currently a bit difficult to follow for me... is it possible to also provide mp3 to just listen to you?

PS Will this replace the podcasts? And/or What we are watching post?

Your vlog premiere! Congratulations! Great to see you guys!

I enjoyed the vlog. It's another neat addition to the always wonderful Dramabeans site. Certainly one more reason to enjoy hanging out here. Already looking forward to your future vlogs!

Thanks @javabeans, @girlfriday, and the entire team for all you do!

Oh, and when I was posting about being happy that Javabeans is back, I meant the recaps and her writing style... and also her drama watching :--) ... (I'm actually sometimes worried that you guys work too much for this site...)

Question for the future: which kdrama do you think has the strongest first episode?

I want to get some of my friends hooked, but many of the dramas I love don't necessarily have a really strong first episode to get them craving for more.

It is wonderful to put faces in our beloved overlords. Thanks for this VLog!.

Yay! i was so excited to follow you guys on instagram and now a vlog! i'm so happy with all the good news ^___^

Woo-hoo, loved the v-log!! Can't wait to see more. One favor though, when either one of you is saying an actor/actress name, could you say it just a tiny bit slower. It takes my brain a moment to realize who you are talking about. Thanks! 😀

It's so good to watch you both! I got my account on Dramabeans just recently, but I've been a reader of the site for more than 3 years now, and I have to thank you guys for everything that you've done here! Your writing styles make reading the recaps so much fun, and I've often just watched the first episode of a drama to get the context, and then read through the rest of the episodes on Dramabeans (saves so much time :p) Looking forward to more of the vlogs!
P.S : I feel the same as jb about embarrassing scenes in dramas/stories. :D

Oh wow! Finally seeing the faces of Dramabeans 👏🏻

Question for the next vlog: Who would be your dream guest?

AAHHHHHH Yayyyy I'm so excited for this!

Love this so much :D

Congratulations JB and GF on your vlog! It's great!! Especially to see you (can practically see the wheels spinning in your minds as you listen to each other! Heh!). This site is just getting better and better!! 👏❤💪

One question I have, which I hope you can answer, is: Is there is a reason (like a known trend, or a secret drama production company's agreement), why there are dramas that come out at about the same time with very similar themes or set ups or bits of plot details. It's like a nice conspiracy.

The latest I noticed is having female script writers and both having a hard time with the same actress as the main writer! (Because This Life is Our First and Temperature of Love), a few years ago there were shows of divorced couples coming back together (Emergency Couple and Cunning Single Lady), and in between, there were spates of shows with similar past life premise(s), or time travel/warp or multiple personalities, or grim reapers, or leads with memory loss... They seem to pop up at not too far apart (within a year or two?) in terms of time, as if they were planned. I find that strange when these shows would have been written by different people and could have been produced at different times. It's always got me wondering. JB and GF, do you have a clue? 😃

what happened to the podcasts?

What I like about this

1. Youtube is more accessible than podcast. I can't listen to it because I'm always on my phone and apparently, it doesn't support Javascript.

2. Videos feel more interactive.

3. They're giving away Peripera which my bae Kim Sohyun endorses. <3

So good to see your faces! Ah!! I like the idea of you two vlogging a lot! I've been an avid dramabeans reader since 2010? 2011? I can't remember now...haha it's good to see the beautiful smiles behind the charming and wonderfully quirky personalities!

Around 11 minutes into the video it seemed like ya'll finally began to relax and really open up more which was good to see. I would love to see a good mixture of how chill you two are in your podcasts with the new video format. Maybe it'll just take a couple more videos for ya'll to get used to it ;) I liked the discussion of dramas and news segments and the giveaways, those were great.

What would you two think about combining your variety roulette series with a reaction video format? Every now and then? Picking a series to drop in on for one episode and letting us see you react to it?

Love you both!!

I was so surprised when I saw this, but it's so awesome. Lol now whenever I read their recaps I'm gonna be reading it with their voice in my head. Also @girlfriday I see you avoiding looking into the camera LOL.

Wow! I didn't see this coming, but I am actually seeing you guys! This is awesome! I have been your avid fan for so long and I can't keep myself from smiling. Thanks a lot for everything!!!

Yay for the new vlog.
So happy for you guys!! :-)

This was fun to watch! I keep meaning to listen to the podcasts but never get round to it. Somehow video seems more accessible.

I would second the other comments that mention the sound quality needs a bit of improvement. Otherwise, great work! Looking forward to seeing you next week! 😃

Ooooh this is great! Wifi too slow for the video to load though so I'll watch it full later. But does this vlogging mean the podcast thing is over? (I still listen to the Healer edition from time to time! <3 )

It's funny how you can't watch Go Back Couple because it's so embarrassing - I have no issue this time, but I really had that problem with the Reply series or any Hong Sisters drama.

To be honest, I much prefer podcasts to vlogs, purely because of how I consume the content (I listen to podcasts to and from my bus to work, which isn't that far of a walk - a mile or so - but having something to keep me occupied does make it easier in the winter).

so Revolutionary Love is dropped? the chaebol cruelty even scared me away. I hopw Siwon chooses better next time. I m just scared to take another look.

Awww wut wut now we can find each other in ig 🙈🙈🙈😶

God I love watching this site grow and grow, every new step is more exciting than the last!! So so happy to be a beanie right now. #startedfromthebottom #nowwehere

I have finally watched the full vlog and it is nice to see you in person...though I don't know why, but I more imagined you radio-like with the headphones on and the mike hanging in the middle 😁

Also... I hope you will still do the good old podcasts... they are my favourite... I just prefere the discussions about the dramas longer (and deeper)... with ost snippets... and some funny comments from you 🙂

Wowww, so great to see you both! ♥

I missed your podcasts, this is even better! And we get to see you every week? Thank you JB and GF! ^^

This is so awesome! You both look so pretty!
