D-Addicts Members' TOP 30 Favorite Korean Dramas - Vote Now!

[babai]

I really like the JDorama site, and I wish there was one just like it for Korean dramas. I like the Top 50 Dramas and Artists features. Because of this, I want to start a thread where people cast their votes for their favorite Korean dramas. If this works, and a lot of people respond, I'll keep on updating this first post, so we can come up with a Top 30. I picked just 30 because there aren't as many Korean dramas as Jdoramas. I would also like to request the mods to please not merge this with the Korean Drama Recommendations thread, since this is a list of votes made by ppl of their most favorite Korean dramas. I'm really curious as to how this list will look like.

1) Full House - 215



2) My Name is Kim Sam Soon - 176



3.)My Girl - 164

Note: Everytime you watch a series that you would like to vote for, just make a new post; don't edit your original post because it'll be difficult for me to monitor your votes.

[jholic]

I would also like to request the mods to please not merge this with the Korean Drama Recommendations thread

OK!

i admire your courage. i actually think this is going to be rather difficult to implement w/o an automatic voting system. are you sure this is not in any other korean drama forum(s)?

in any case, someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe jdorama's system is based on one vote as the most favorite drama. therefore, you may want to put a number in parenthesis next to each of the nominated dramas.

the other suggestion i have is to have each member vote/post ONCE for the BEST kdrama (in his/her opinion). this way, you won't need to tally 2nd and 3rd place votes. it's just my suggestion.

i will be reserving my vote until i have watched enough kdramas....

[babai]

someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe jdorama's system is based on one vote as the most favorite drama.

Actually, you can vote for more than one drama on the jdorama site. Thanks for your suggestion.

[MoerkJ]

the top list at jdorama.com reflects only which drama is the most known and most liked among the users. It doesn't reflect the quality of the listed dramas. Also lists with all-time top tv-ratings don't tell us much. Lot's of good dramas are not in this list (for obvious reasons). I rather trust the download statistics. (lots of downloads = good drama)

you can find a few kdrama toplists (and shitlists) on soompi.com

If you really want to create a toplist you need to provide something countable. For example you have to name your N most favourite dramas and give them points from N to 1. Then somebody has to add the points.

edit: just added some links.

[MoerkJ]

another way to create your top drama list easily....

list all users with the dramas they recommended in all those recommendation threads (to avoid double countings). Then give every recommeded drama 1 point and sum that up. Make a list with the dramas sorted by points.

The easiest way would be probably if you make a spreadsheet of that data. (e.g. with Excel.. make a big table with dramas on the x-axis and users on the y-axis... in each user row you enter 0 (default) or 1 point if recommended... let Excel sum up the columns... or something similar. I've never worked with Excel)

You can do that now if you want.

[groink]

You could try implementing a system like I did with the Japanese drama recommendations list:

http://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtop ... &start=145

--- groink

[babai]

Hey guys, I did this using groink’s system, which I really like. I’m sure this isn’t completely accurate, but you can definitely get the gist of it. I based this on the Korean drama recommendations thread.

Full House – 76

I’m Sorry I Love You – 49

Sweet 18 – 36

Stairway to Heaven – 33

Lovers in Paris – 28

All About Eve – 22

Dae Jang Geum – 21

Autumn Tale – 19

Let’s Go to School Sang Doo - 17
Sassy Girl Chun-Hyang - 17

My Name is Kim Sam Soon – 16
Winter Sonata – 16

Attic Cat – 14

Damo - 13
All In - 13
My Love Patzzi – 13
Romance – 13

Beautiful Days - 12
Successful Story of a Bright Girl - 12

What Happened in Bali - 11
Love Story in Harvard - 11
Sad Love Story – 11

Save the Last Dance for Me – 8
Oh! Pil Seung, Bong Soon Young - 8

Snow White (Taste Sweet Love) - 7

Ruler of Your Own World – 6
Nine-Tailed Fox - 6

The Sandglass – 5
Glass Shoes - 5
1% of Anything – 5

It’s crazy that Full House is no. 1. I mean, it’s a good drama, but definitely not good enough, in my opinion, to be in the top spot. Also, Lovers in Paris? That high? Then again, this is only based on recommendations and not an official top list, so the results might be different. Anyways, here are the rest in case anyone’s interested:

Wonderful Life - 4
Hotelier - 4

Phoenix - 3
Spring Day – 3

Delicious Proposal - 2
Love Letter – 2
Loveholic – 2
Resurrection – 2

I didn’t include the ones with just one vote.

I was still hoping for a Top 30 list, like the one I first proposed, but if people don’t vote, then that’s completely fine with me… less work for me definitely. However, if you’re not satisfied with how this list looks and still wanna vote, then simply type in your most favorite dramas, the ones that, in your opinion, belong to a whole different mold from the rest. I’ll count them using the same system and display the results on my first post. Laterz amigos.

[MoerkJ]

Not really a surprise. Full House is the kdrama with the most downloads here at D-Addicts.
Probably followed by Sweet18 and MISA.

Nice that you took the initiative.
Yeah the 1 point per recommendation is a good system. It is basically what Jdorama.com does... (and what I suggested in my 2nd post).

you just have to be careful not to double count. Ppl like to recommend the same dramas in different threads (or even in the same ).

[busyizzy]

I think this is kindof unfair to see top 30 dramas, period. I'm Korean so my mom watches nearly any of the famous dramas from like, years ago, but most people have only seen a few, and the few that they see are the ones recommended them to other people, aka, the ones poular on this site. There are lots of dramas I liked that never really got english subs and/or uploaded here, so they'd be heavily overlooked, simply cuz people don't have access to them. And that's of no fault of anyone, but just a point I thought I'd make.

That said, if people will vote, I'd be willing to throw in a list of my favorite dramas, but right now, my roommate is pulling me away to watch the new trailer of Harry Potter. :)

[MoerkJ]

@busyizzy:
That's true and it has been discussed before that ppl can only recommend the (few) dramas they know.
So, I made it "Top 30 Recommended Korean Dramas" then.

[rambutan]

Most fave first:
1) Winter Sonata
2) Damo
3) Stairway to Heaven
4) Autumn Love Story
5) Full House
6) I'm Sorry, I Love You

since the DramaWiki has grown in sufficient size now I might code something in the holidays to allow members to recommend series that are in the wiki.

since the DramaWiki has grown in sufficient size now I might code something in the holidays to allow members to recommend series that are in the wiki.

I think the best would be a voting system like the ones of IMDb or OFDb. But a recommendation system is fine too.
