Best Kdrama of the Year - run-off poll

[dangermousie]

There turned out to be 11, not 10, candidates as that many got 3 or more votes. Have fun! You can vote if you've seen them all or if you've seen none, for deep reasons like symbolism and cinematography and characters that feel real or for shallow reasons because the heroine is hot. Whichever. :) Just vote :P

I am thinking of doing one for actors/actresses too.

[Poll #1496750]

The previous tally was:

IRIS -- 20
You're Beautiful -- 15
City Hall -- 9
Brilliant Legacy -- 9
Return of Iljimae -- 8
Triple -- 5
Tamra the Island -- 5
Soul (Hon) -- 4
East of Eden -- 3
Boys Over Flowers -- 3
A Man's Story/Slingshot -- 3

TAMRAAAAA.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee.

IRIS, City Hall, IRIS, City Hall....tossed a coin and City Hall it is.
Anybody know where I can find good City Hall icons?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

If you find any, let me know!

Gosh, this is such a hard one. Some of the dramas I have seen (IRIS,You're Beautiful,City Hall,Slingshot) are really really good but different, it has been a good year for Kdrama!
So far I would say that IRIS is the best - but I have only seen few eps of it and it still got almost a half to go. All things can happen! So I am putting "You are beautiful" (it had excellent ending).

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I still haven't finished YAB - one of these days :)

[mishane.livejournal.com]

I would probably put IRIS but I haven't seen it yet so Brilliant Legacy it is.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

BL was such a surprise hit for me.

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen all of these but Tamra gets my vote. I fell head over heels.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It was really awesome.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Iris <33.

Oddly thought, I'm putting Black and White above Iris. Black and White was my very favourite drama of this year tbh XD.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

B&W was really excellent

I can`t vote for things I haven`t completed so I won't vote (although I'd probably give it up to City Hall or Brilliant Legacy) but I can't believe East of Eden was a 2009 drama. It feels like it was out ages and ages ago.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It started in 2008 it was just so long that it didn't end till March 09

[syrenstar.livejournal.com]

I was tempted to vote Tamra but as I've only seen 6 eps I went with Brilliant Legacy. BL was surprisingly good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, BL was excellent

I may need to be hospitalized, because I just voted for BOF.

The only other ones I have finished are Triple, Return of Iljimae, and You're Beautiful. And while they are both lovely dramas the first half of Boys Over Flowers was just SO MUCH FUN. And like I've said before, I really enjoyed the mania that engulfed the entire fandom. I felt like I was a part of something really big. There was just so much humor surrounding the entire situation. Maybe the drama itself wasn't that spectacular (*cough*understatement*cough*), but what it did for the community was pretty amazing.

I am disappoint, cranberrysheep.

[cranberrysheep.livejournal.com]

I'm in it for the lulz, so the Jack gif ONLY MAKES ME STRONGER.

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

lol. Less than three months until the premiere of the new Lost season!

[sodahands.livejournal.com]

Lol imho, jears make us all stronger.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heheheheee

[bzoppa.livejournal.com]

I didn't vote because I haven't seen any (except the first 2/3s of BoF) but how is BoF getting any votes at all?? As best?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

No idea

[sodahands.livejournal.com]

I voted for Story of a Man/Slingshot because it's not getting enough love.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It was a good drama

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

You should do a top three poll! I'm curious which would emerge on top overall, IRIS or YAB or BL.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I did it. But I can bet YAB is going to win.

[timescout.livejournal.com]

Oh, as much as I like IRIS, the best one for me is Story of a Man/Slingshot. I'd say that technically they are on par; good story, direction and great acting but Slingshot just strikes a bigger chord with me (and I love, love, love Shin - more than Hyn Joon, sorryyyy ;P).

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee - that's OK :)
