[2022 Year in Review] The Bean Count
by missvictrix
Our 2022 Year in Review festivities have begun, and at the top of the list is that thing you’ve been prepping for all year. That’s right, it’s time for the Bean Count!
For those new to this Dramabeans tradition, Bean Count is a nerdy way of looking back at your year in dramas by giving the shows you loved “beans.” More love, more beans. The catch is that the number of beans you have to give away is the number of dramas you finished this year.
Here’s how to do your own Bean Count:
1. Get your total beans by counting all the 2022 shows you watched in their entirety. One finished show = one bean. (If it’s a currently airing show that you’re up-to-date on, it also counts as one bean.)
2. Now that you have your total beans, redistribute them among your finished/current shows using whatever logic makes sense to you. You can give each show one bean, give all your beans to one show, or somewhere in between those extremes. Your beans, your rules.
NOTE: This year’s list of shows includes dramas that aired after November 29, 2021 until November 29 this year, to account for the fact that you can’t love a drama till it’s over (as 2022 has so rudely taught us). We’ll add a list of the shows at the bottom of the post. If we missed some, feel free to count them in your list.
Check out how the DB team did their Bean Counts below. Click on the buttons to sort shows by number of beans or airing date. Click on the writer names at the bottom of the table to see how each person distributed their beans.
If for some reason you can’t view the charts, there’s a copy of the table here and the pie here.
But more importantly, share your own Bean Counts in the comments!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I get partial beans for dropping a show?
Nope. No bean for you. You must have watched all the available episodes for it to count as one bean.2. What if I fast-forwarded a show to finish it?
We don’t judge since this is supposed to be a fun tradition. 🙂 If that’s how you watch dramas and it counts as finished in your book, sure, it counts.3. What if I watched a very long show? Shouldn’t it count as a jar of beans?
Sorry. That’s still only one bean. This rule was set in stone when the Bean Count laws were formed. Changing it will anger The Ghost of Bean Count Past.4. Can I give negative beans to some shows, and give even more beans to another show?
Since one finished show = one bean, you can get a negative bean by un-watching a sho–just kidding! Nope. You can’t award negative beans. You can, however, take comfort in the fact that you stole that show’s one bean and gave it to something else.

In 2022 I've completed 14 of this year's dramas, that's a lot of beans for me and not many shows I feel like giving them to! XD
But here it goes!!
1. Snowdrop
2. Twenty-five Twenty-one ⭐
3. Semantic Error ⭐
4. The Sound of Magic
5. Blueming ⭐
6. Military Prosecutor Doberman ⭐⭐
7. Tomorrow ⭐
8. Love All Play ⭐⭐⭐⭐
9. Yumi's Cells S2 ⭐⭐
10. Insider
11. Poong Joseon Psychiatrist
12. Bad Prosecutor
13. Weak Hero Class 1 ⭐⭐
14. A Business Proposal
I keep a list of dramas I watched in my notes, and sometimes I add a ❤️ (heart) next to dramas I really loved.
This year I felt compelled to do that for 2 dramas only, Love Between Fairy and Devil and Love All Play.
I feel like I would give half of my beans to LBFAD, if I could ahaha!
But if I have to stick to Kdramas only then LAP gets most of the love (for the main couple's chemistry and Chae Jonghyeop's dazzling smiles)! ^^

I just went and specially watched the last episode of Law Cafe which has been sitting in my to watch list for *quite some time*, bringing me up to six beans. The final episode was actually pretty okay so I maybe have a better impression of the drama than it deserves 😅
I swear I spent my entire year watching dramas but maybe they were all old/Japanese/I didn’t finish them/all of these things at once 😅
Anyway I’m finding it difficult to assign beans as some lacklustre endings have coloured my whole impression of the drama.
Anyway, here’s my distribution:
Good Job gets two beans despite derailing at the end a bit because I loved the rest of it.
These guys all get one:
Business Proposal
Alchemy of Souls
Shooting Stars
These two are splitting the last bean between them because I can’t decide who should get it (probably one of the dramas that already has a bean, if I’m honest):

9 beans, I guess. But only a few of them made me really happy and will be remembered and rewatched. Not a very successful year for k-dramas and me... But only when it comes to enjoying the new k-dramas, otherwise I count every year in which none of my family and friends dies a successful and happy one - I am really seeing things in a different perspective now when I am older

‘otherwise I count every year in which none of my family and friends dies a successful and happy one - I am really seeing things in a different perspective now when I am older’ 👈🏾 exactly, in the scheme of things…it’s a bit of fun but not important. Good to know it’s been another successful year on the health front.😊

I will award these to the ff:

Little Women - 4
2521 - 3
Through The Darkness - 3

This is my first time actually participating after watching for years. I got 15 beans, which is a respectable number considering I will drop a drama like a hot potato if I'm bored or annoyed. Here's how I will allocate them:
Business Proposal: *
My Liberation Notes: *
Our Beloved Summer: ***
Pachinko: *
Yumi's Cells 2: *
Extraordinary Attorney Woo: ***
Love is for Suckers: ****
I liked Love is for Suckers much, much more than most of the folks on DB seemed to. Not every element worked, but I genuinely liked the characters and I found the writing mature and thoughtful.

Not counting currently airing dramas (Curtain Call and May I Help You would certainly get a couple of beans from me otherwise), it's 23 beans.
I'm giving my beans to just a few dramas that made my life better while I was watching:
Extraordinary Attorney Woo (even with some writing flaws, this was such a well crafted, entertaining, and genuinely funny/touching show): 4
Little Women (made with such care and a master class in direction):
4
My Liberation Notes (a loving and somehow loveable ode to the mundanity of everyday life):
4
Our Beloved Summer (a love story that felt like one):
3
Love All Play (ignoring the worst mother in the history of kdrama, this one just gave me all the feels):
3
25/21 (even though I have scripted my own alternate ending, this one is still the best coming-of-age drama I've ever seen): 3
Bulgasal/Red Heart (for Lee Joon's performance in the former and Kang Hana's in the second): they'll each get one.

I've got 28 beans. Wow... I didn't think it would be that high, since I also re-watched shows from previous years...
So, I'm giving 10 beans each to Alchemy of Souls and Love in Contract. I know these are well-loved and well-hated programs, but for me they were by far the most engaging and fun-to-watch ones on the list.
The remaining 8 I am going to spread out at 1 bean each for:

Business Proposal

Love is for Suckers
Extraordinary Attorney Woo - they get the last 3, because, well... Kang Tae Oh. Enough said.

Yes!
I know you have to consider a drama's quality on all fronts together - writing, directing, cast performance, plot, characters, emotional impact...
I had genuine fun watching Love in Contract and I do not blame the actors for working with what they were given. That the writers skimmed over some sharp material that could have made for very compelling film and went for adding to the trope pile instead... that's not the fault of the cast or the production crew. They still produced an enjoyable program with good visual quality.
Same sort of goes for Alchemy of Souls - in places, the plot of this one was incomprehensible, the dialogue was muddy, and the questions were left unanswered... but they still produced a show I looked forward to watching each weekend and I could still feel what the actors were trying to convey. And nobody can argue that this one was always visually stunning.

Dramas I watched this year (17):
Our Beloved Summer - 1 bean - I did like it, but I don't really have any desire to rewatch it or even scenes from it.
Ghost Doctor - 3 - I really loved this one, which is odd because I usually only like romance dramas. My husband liked it a lot, too.
Thirty-Nine - can I deduct beans?
Business Proposal - 3 beans. Just fantastic all around. It reminded me of Touch Your Heart, a solid rom com without too much angst.
Soundtrack #1
Showtime Begins! - 3 beans. Probably one of my favorite dramas ever.
Jinxed at First - I liked the cinematography but not enough to give it a precious bean.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo - 1 bean for Joon-ho and Pengsoo.
Dear X Who Doesn't Love Me - 1 bean for the soundtrack and cinematography.
The Law Cafe
May I Help You
Please Send a Fan Letter
Summer Strike
Good Job - 1 bean for the chemistry between the leads.
Dear M - 1 bean for the karaoke and kiss scenes which made my heart flutter and which I occasionally rewatch to this day.
Love is for Suckers - 3 beans just for my side couple who continue to live rent-free in my head even over a week after the drama has ended. Seriously, please send help.
Once Upon a Small Town - just some very wooden performances that made the romance quite uninspiring.
I hope my math isn't off, sorry if it is!

I'm so glad to hear! I made it in part for myself, since I wanted to watch them without having to skip through scenes. I got the idea after I rewatched all of their story, including their individual story arcs and their relationship arc, from ep 1 to ep 16 the weekend after the finale aired (I called it Love is for Suckers: The Jijon Cut). After that, going through and finding them to piece together wasn't very difficult.
I also kinda hoped that making it would get them out of my system, but no such luck. If there is such a thing as a Jijon archivist, I believe that I would now qualify!

Good Job - 1 bean for the main couple
Little Women - 1 bean for the villain
Seasons of Blossom - 1 bean for Ha Min (he can share with Jin Young)

Okay, fine, I have 9 beans from K-dramas (and there's no point trying to include other countries or I'd give them all to F4 Thailand) so here's my distribution:
My Liberation Notes: 🦀🦀🦀
Our Blues: 🦀🦀
Twenty Five Twenty One: 🦀🦀
Extraordinary Attorney:🦀🦀
(It's only fair that Extraordinary Attorney get as many as Our Blues and Twenty Five Twenty One, since it gave me proportionate joy even though it went downhill. Wouldn't you say?)

In wine terms @wishfultoki for me personally I think 2022 would be considered a poor vintage year. Too much ‘plonk’ and not enough ‘quality’ if you will.

I watched only 7 dramas this year:
Let Me Be Your Knight - 2, fun idol drama and the relationship between the bandmates was well written and touching.
Twenty Five Twenty One - 1 for Nam Joo Hyuk and the soundtrack
From Now On, Showtime - 2, this got me through finals during spring semester and was probably my favorite this year tbh
Never Give Up - 1 bean for my undying love for Yoon Dujun who I wish would be in more dramas :'(
Once Upon a Small Town
Fanletter, Please
Love is for Suckers - 1, watched this for Lee Da Hee and Choi Siwan, but I ended up actually really enjoying the supporting characters and wish their stories were more fleshed out

Our Blues--6 (outstanding acting by the ensemble cast)
Under the Queen's Umbrella--5 (outstanding mother centric history)
May I Help You--4 (tender integration of humor with sorrow)
Extraordinary Attorney--3 (sincerest characters)

Wow, I didn't think I'd have anything as I don't live watch and never look up which year the show I'm currently watching is from, but! I've watched eight shows of that list. so I've got 8 beans to give, right? So it goes as follows:
Our beloved summer
Bulgasal
Through the Darkness XXX
Juvenile Justice
Tomorrow
Alchemy of Souls XX
Extraordinary Attorney Woo XXX
The Silent Sea

I only have 9 beans. I have five or six more that I am either currently watching or planning to watch. Very few of this year's dramas have interested me enough to watch as they were airing.
My beans are distributed according to how emotionally invested I became in each drama. It has nothing to do with the technical brilliance of the storytelling. Pachinko was very well done for example, but none of the characters were likeable. (I also didn't care for how they subverted a story about Japanese Koreans surviving and learning to love their adopted country and turned it into anti-Japanese propaganda, but that's another issue.)

The only thing that could cheer me up after a second positive Covid test (don't fly anywhere) is some bean counting. According to my abacus, I have 12 beans to divvy up. Interesting that I have 16 dropped bean fragments and huge number of hours invested in C-dramas, but that is neither here nor there. Tally ho:
Extraordinary Atty 3 for the paradigm shift & PEB
Business Proposal 3 for the laughs and fun comments
Our Beloved Summer 2 for the movie references
My Liberation Notes 2 for all introverts everywhere
Through the Darkness 1 for acting tour de force in total
Alchemy of Souls 1 for a C-drama flavored K-drama.

I have 13 beans this year, 2 less than last year. I was gonna do my bean count at the last minute, so i can collect a few more beans..then i looked at my list and thought ‘what’s the point?’
You see, it’s not much fun handing out beans when you’re an easy watcher like me. I liked all the shows in this list, some more than others but none that deserves no beans at all (the one show that deserves an anti-bean aired last year dammit). It doesn’t mean these shows are perfect or i have no complaints, i’m just a bit fuzzy on the details. So i’ll save that for the round-up, when i get to..rounding it up.. soon.
So i just decided to de-bean Cheer Up because it’s the only one I skip-watched and i need Queen’s Umbrella to reign supreme cos that drama is Perfection.
I present to you my 🫘 along with some ‘tags’ for each show:
🫘Our Beloved Summer - Super Love Melancholic Romance
🫘The Silent Sea - Gong Yoo
🫘Twenty Five Twenty One - Super Love: Youthful Energy, Friendship, First Love
🫘Business Proposal - Old school romance updated
🫘Love All Play - Super cute if you ignore the tears
🫘Shooting Stars - Super Laughs
🫘Alchemy of Souls - Laughs & Love
🫘Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Whales breaking barriers & the norm!
🫘Little Women - anti hero but she wins. Oops.
🫘Blind - Taec Yeon
Cheer Up! - Bae In Hyuk & Haeyi
🫘Under the Queen’s Umbrella🫘 Perfection. I told you already.
🫘Please Send a Fan Letter - Soo Young & Yoon Park
That’s it beanies. I’ve maxed out my use of the word bean for the year.
