Would You Rather #2

In dramaland, leading ladies often find themselves torn between the love of two equally attractive men — a choice none of us would want to make! But what if you did have to pick between the frustrating lawyer and the adorkable police officer? In this weekly feature, we ask you to make the difficult decisions — and we aren’t limiting our options to dreamy oppas.

Vote via the poll and feel free to use the comments to explain exactly how you were able to choose! So, Beanies:
 


 
WOULD YOU RATHER #1: RESULTS

The results are in, and an overwhelming number of Beanies — two-thirds of the vote! — decided they would rather travel to an alternate dimension than catch serial killers.

For many, like @beantown, this was a “no-brainer,” but the logic behind everyone’s choice was varied. Some simply preferred the fantasy of traveling to other universes because it offered up endless possibilities — including one with a handsome prince (I mean, I totally get it). Others, however, chose the flute because they couldn’t stomach the violence and/or pressure of solving murders (I totally get that, too).

Even so, 33% of voters did select the walkie-talkie over the flute because, as many pointed out, fooling around with alternate universes can get messy! And what if the alternate universes suck? Some would much rather be Nancy Drew (I see you @firewife5) and solve murders than deal with the uncertainty of parallel universes.

But one ingenious Beanie, @palaa, figured out a loophole and determined that the flute is the superior choice because — technically — you could also use the flute to travel back in time to solve murders if you wanted. Although, if we want to think in technicalities, the flute featured in last week’s poll only mentioned traveling to another universe — not through time. 😉

I think when I was younger I would’ve chosen ToD but now I’d rather live thanks. I’ve had plenty of dreams turning up to class naked.

But alas that does not embarrass me anymore when I’ve had many hospital stays where I pretty much had to be naked in front of a lot of doctors and nurses. I had a slight fleeting crush on a doctor who you guessed it…saw me naked. So yeah I guess it already happened to me

That wasn’t even my most embarrassing story with a crush. The one I most cringe at is when I was in primary school. For context whenever I was a cheeky little git my mum used to lightly slap my bottom. I thought this practice was normal so when my crush and another boy were being naughty…you guessed it I slapped their bottoms. They both looked at me with such horror (rightfully so) and the teacher who saw this was stunned and very quickly pretended they didn’t see it

So yes that’s when I figured such practice was not appropriate. To this day I still cringe at this, on second thought yeah maybe I’d prefer ToD

ToD sounds extremely risky at best. Even when drama characters seem to have plenty of time to escape, they rarely do, so I'm assuming by the laws of dramaland, I'd be similar. The accidentally dancing in my underwear in front of someone doesn't seem that bad, tbh. You just gotta own it.

At least with ToD, if it doesn't stop the pain and won't last long.
But it really depends on what the crush is wearing.

Even if you survive the Truck of Doom, you then have to worry about the bad guys trying to inject lethal fluid into your IV while you're unconscious.

If they're interrupted in time and you wake up, you either have to disappear/lay low for a surprising reveal (that could still go wrong) or spend the rest of your time running from multiple attempts on your life in varying states of healing.

No thanks.

If I looked like someone out of a kdrama, I’d enjoy dancing in my underwear, and would like to believe that being caught by my crush would result in him falling for me. No?! The scenario doesn’t come with a body swap?

Took me a while to decide lol.
If I'm staring at the TOD, then I know it's coming and not a surprise. So then I have time to jump out of the way, right? XD

I mean I don't want to be caught in my underwear....but I think my crush could or would look away quickly. And higher chance of surviving this than a TOD encounter. 😂😂

So I voted for the crush option (har har). ;P

I would rather not die. With enough sleepless nights , I might be able to convince myself that other thing did not happen or I can take page out of k-drama book and pretend to have amnesia. Everyone has gone through more embarrassing things than that and we have managed to get past it.

I'm sloppy. ToD would catch me.
But I am funny, so when my crush sees me dancing I would drag him into the dance with me, and... once you make a man laugh because you know how ridiculous you can be, he will fall for you.

Can't call myself a good dancer, but I have little no shame and look pretty good both in clothes and without them (see lack of shame point above), so my apologies, Truck-kun - we just aren't meant to be)))

I love your lack of shame on the front you were talking about. I share your lack of shame. I think my crush would probably fall for me if they saw me in my underwear. (See lack of shame point above). Or even if the person doesn’t, I’m sure I look better than them in their underwear :P

I think the hokey pokey dance in your undies in front of your crush might seem mortifying to some but I think that might be an age/perspective thing. Aside from the truck possibly equaling death, the dance is just something to look back on and laugh. No matter how you look at it, that would be a ridiculous situation and it would be a character defining moment depending on how either person reacted.

Dancing okey-dokey in my undies in front of my crush might just be the thing that would cause him to have naughty un-friend-zoned thoughts about me. What's not to like about that?

For a man, there are two answers. The kdrama trope of the man squealing and covering himself up when spotted by their crush in their underwear is BY FAR the least realistic aspect of kdramas. That repeated scene makes the ice stone soul shifting of Alchemy of Souls look like a clip from a documentary. In real life, every male I've met, including myself, believes that even if, objectively, they look terrible in their underwear, there will be some quality of their partially naked body that will attract their crush. For me its where my arms meet my torso. I look good there, and have contemplated wearing one of those naked shoulder sweaters sported by Lee Da Hee in Love is for Suckers.

If we are talking kdrama circumstances, though, the encounter with the white truck of doom is by far the preferred choice, because you will either 1. meet an extremely attractive grim reaper who will convince you not to step out into the street. 2. if you don't move in time, you will be made into a grim reaper yourself, who will reappear in human form say, every, 99 years or so where you will meet and have an intimate relationship with your first love reincarnated into an even more beautiful woman. 3. return as the son of a chaebol family where you can revenge your death because you remember every movement of the stock market in the last 40 years.

It's true, all my perspectives on life's big choices are shaped by kdramas, especially the ones I've seen recently. That's why I'm well prepared should someone start shooting metal balls at me, or even worse, take me away from my beloved Mongolian steppes.

Believe me, whatever insults I get on this site I fully deserve! But no, I never am insulted by your humorous replies, which in fact I always appreciate!

I'll choose Truck of Doom 🤷‍♀️. It's a kdrama so I assume I'm protected by plot armour. A few broken bones won't kill me but an embarrassing memory - that's burned into your brain FOREVERRRRR 🙈.

I can do both... with ease and without thinking.
But, have my crush walking in with me dancing okey dokey it is. It not everytime I find myself doing something that makes me think I look ridiculous and equally feel same. I'm very conscious of my posture and body movement in public as such I can't dance in public. But in private...be free and do your thing. Add in the underwear and the ridiculous body movements justs amps up for me.

If you're my crush walk in and see me dancing, no probs. I'll stop in a minute or a few seconds, but you'll have to watch the ridiculous dance moves. Plus, I'll get to flex a well toned lower body gotten without the exercises.

The Okey Dokey story would be a beautiful and hilarious step in our sexy, slow burn friends-to-lovers tale.

I prefer cleverer methods of self-death. Maybe a way that does the job quickly instead of prolonging my misery with broken bones and traumatic bleeding.

I'm always wearing black undies so no potentially embarrassing prints! And the truck of doom has like a really high death count. On top of that, you rarely ever see anyone get prosecuted for killing someone with a ToD. Double injustice!

I'm a girl and I've lived enough to know that dudes are (mostly) visual creatures. Again, no brainer. I choose to look adorkably sexy.
(Also, I've stared down a few trucks of doom and can confirm you have enough time to move out of the way)
And as for the last time, *technically* you guys said flute, not half of a flute. Full flute can do time travel while half of it can only cross to one other universe.

I have full confidence it my ability to avoid the ToD. Heck, I've run to the kitchen for snacks and back, before that menacing, white, (they're always white!) machine ever made contact.

ToD.
I almost got hit by several cars/motorbikes in my life, so I think I can handle a truck. All I need is to move, and the shock is just for a few seconds.

A stranger watching me on my underwear is way worse. Especially because I know/like that person, so I actually have to see them in the future and remember that embarrassing memory for the rest of my life. My anxiety can't handle that, I would avoid that person for a long time and destroy any romantic chance I had with them.
If I looked like the guy from the picture (our like any kdrama lead) I probably wouldn't mind tho. 😆

The underwear dance may actually cause me to die from embarrassment, so no thanks.
On the other hand, staring down a ToD had no mention of fatality so i think this would be the less mortifying, though not much safer option.

It says we get to stare it down. I go full crazy mode when I get bullied or heckled on my bike. I toss it right back at them and yell a lot. “Oh look at you, you’re so cool to pick on a female biker!! I want to be just like you someday.” And I yell like a maniac. I also have chants—“share the road, share the road, share the road. Be safe, be safe , be safe.” (No I am not that biker that doesn’t stop at red lights. I yell at them too.)
I once made a car pull over after I yelled at it so much after they honked and almost ran me over . (My anger might not have been really about that car….) I also take on buses sometimes when they honk at me or bully me out of the bike lane.
Anyways, bring it on Truck of Doom.

Sorry @daebakgrits but I'm not sure what is the question... the picture is a ToD and a danse in inderwear, but the text is "frustrating lawyer and the adorkable police officer".
What shall I ponder ?

The "frustrating lawyer and the adorkable police officer" is just a goofy, unimportant line included in the description of the Would You Rather? weekly feature. That line will repeat every week.

This week's real options are listed on the interactive poll, right above the image displaying the results from last week. Based on your confusion, I'm wondering if you are not able to see the poll, which prompts everyone to chose between "staring down a truck of doom" or "having their crush walk in on them while dancing to 'Okey Dokey' in their underwear."
