Wow guys, we have almost made it through the entire year!!! And with that I’ve got a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT for all you Hallyu Back dramas fans out there: You get to decide on and vote for your favorite dramas of 2013!!!

Here is how it will work: For each of the three (3) ballot polls listed on this blog post, you get to cast up to 3 votes per country for favorite dramas of this year. In other words, you can vote for 3 dramas for Korea, 3 dramas for Japan, and also choose 3 dramas for Taiwan. You can only vote for each drama once. Polls are open until 11:59pm December 1st Korea time. Winners will be announced the first three weeks in December during my normal Top 5 Friday videos. Note that you can also cast your vote once in the comments below or in the comments section on YouTube, and I will begin tallying everything on Dec. 1st. Votes cast after December 1st will not be counted towards the final winners for each country.  Also beware: the voting program will collapse once you have casted your vote, so if you noticed that happened to you, your vote has been counted! 🙂

You guys, I’m excited to make these best of the year videos! Last year at the end of 2012 when we were still just getting started with Hallyu Back, the ‘Best of 2012’ videos from the 3 drama countries were simply my favorites, and only from the dramas I had watched. I seriously missed out on counting some fantastic dramas, like Moon Embracing the Sun and Reply 1997. I’m only one girl, so how many dramas can I actually watch myself? In doing it this way, where all you guys are in on selecting the best dramas of the year, it will be a much better representation of what the best dramas are. I make videos because I love it, but I also make them for you guys, the Hallyu Back fans. I couldn’t be here without you, so this best of month of December is for you!

The list from the video:

6. One Well Raised Daughter – 잘 키운 딸 하나

5. One Warm Word – 따뜻한 말 한마디

4. Can We Love – 사랑해도 될까요

3. Miss Korea – 미스코리아

2. You Who Came From The Stars – 별에서 온 그대

1. The Prime Minister And I – 총리와 나

And OMG guys, I can’t be the only one who is ready for winter break! With my classes finishing, this means I’ll have a whole lot more time to watch dramas. I have had a serious lack of time recently to watch dramas. It’s pretty pathetic, but that’s graduate school for you. 25 DAYS TIL MY NEXT MAJOR DRAMATHON! AHHHHHG….. so many good dramas to watch, I’m counting the days..
