@ADMIN;
Can i suggest something?
Admin , please in choosing/selecting who is the best korean drama for 2011, please also considered other factor like rating viewer, story line/plot, osts, awards that they received, ect . not only based on voting here, because some fans they try to push their favorite drama. i think the best korean drama should including the story line, rating, osts, acting from the crews.
honestly, for 2009 and 2010 i think the winner is not qualify to win, because many drama are better than the winner in 2009 and 2010.
for examples;
in 2009: Shinning inheritance and IRIS deserved to be the winner rather than you are beautiful
in 2010 : Baker king kim tak goo deserved to win rather than Marry stay out night

@jjun,
Your favorite drama already lose in the poll on this year again?

Do you think that all the fan will accept if we chose ‘The Best Korean Drama of 2011′ by ourselves without go through the poll??

@jjun .. don’t worry, you’re not alone in your sentiments. But I guess we can suggest to the admin that they change it to “Favorite Drama” rather than “Best Drama”….??
