Would You Rather #7
by DaebakGrits
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 #6: RESULTS
Although the results for last week’s poll were far from close, the comments section suggests that it wasn’t an easy choice for quite a few of you. Oh sure, there were still some, like @forblue, who instantly knew that they would absolutely not give up the “driver’s seat” for another personality, but others had to weigh their options before making their decision. Because even though randomly donning a new body every month was the clear winner, Beanies — even those who ultimately voted for it — were quick to point out the downsides.
For starters, it’s majorly inconvenient, and who knows what toll the transformation would take on you physically. And what if someone discovers your ability and, as @asianromance fears, you become some secret government agency’s science experiment? Not to mention, as @enriquequierecagar and @britney stated, randomly changing your body once a month is a rich person’s ailment, and what rooftop dwelling Candy can afford all those clothes?
Then again, as @lordcobol diabolically pointed out, if you have a new identity every month, you could theoretically rob a bank and not get caught. That would certainly solve anyone’s money problems, and ultimately a monthly body metamorphosis won the poll because hidden perks, like bank robbing and anonymity, helps tip the scale in its favor.

This week is pretty easy. If you don't run around kissing people as often as some kdrama characters do, then you won't end up seeing the future and it won't make any difference.
And if you actually do want to see some future there's a way, and if you just want to kiss someone there's an excuse. "Really, I just want to tell your fortune!"
Or know tomorrow's stock prices, depending on what bits of the future you see.

It would be so freaking distracting to see smells. And I'm pretty sure I would see some REALLY nasty stuff in public (and private) places. Tbh, how can you go anywhere if you're able to see smells? How can you eat crappy food? How can you not go crazy?
Wtv, I'm good, thanks.
I don't live in kdramaland so I don't have accidental kisses with people. Tbh, the only future I would see is my mom's and that's would be great. I could actually improve her life. Maybe I would see one of my sister's future from time to time but that would be fine too.
Some people in my country likes to kiss on the cheek to say hi or bye, but it's more like a "cheek to cheek" kiss tbh.
It would be like not having the power in the first place.
The problem is how far in the future I can see? I need to know if I could see till the end. In the webtoon the FL could only see the person's "end" if it was in the near future.

I feel like seeing smells would get very gross and irritating very quickly. I don’t know about y’all, but imagine having this power and living in a major metropolitan area. Smelling all that congestion, pollution, heat, urban decay, the overcrowded population crammed into small spaces… Nope, I’m good.
The other choice though; that’s not much of a choice. Kissing is fun. Kissing someone you’re attracted to is one of the best feelings in the world. And if that someone is good at it too, it’s euphoric. Seeing the future would just be an added bonus.

Question: would you tell the person about your power?
I'm wondering if that would make people freak out (you know, that the person that's kissing then can see their lives).
And I'm also wondering how would someone feel if they're kissing their one night stand or something and suddenly they find out about some big twist (ex. you're kissing someone and suddenly you see that in the future they're going to become you're mother/father in law -makjang moment-). 😂
And I'm also wondering how many stable relationships could survive the kiss test. You would see something wrong your partner did (will do?) even before they do it! What if you're kissing them and suddenly you see them bury a corpse? 😂😂
LOL sorry for all my questions. You mentioned enjoying kissing so I got curious about all these possibilities. 🙈

Maybe it's terribly selfish, but I'd rather see the color of my husband's farts than be interrupted with visions of my mother's death when I'm trying to kiss him silly...

Needing to kiss people to see the future is a great excuse for extra lip locking, but I’m an artist and I’m fascinated by the creative ideas I’d get from seeing smells, even the nasty ones.

I had to choose the kiss future because even being reminded of that terrible Sees Smells drama made me shudder.

I voted for the seeing future option because obviously it sounds much more useful (at a personal level, given that I don't want to be a detective or anything), but then I remembered the pathetic state of my love life. So I'm back at square one with no powers.

Thank you for this wonderful option. I'll be getting a sneak peak into some juicy future knowledge while getting some sneaky kisses in the present, that's a two in one I do not intend to refuse. I can't ask for a better package.

See smell! At least I will 'have' a superpower because the chances of getting those kisses, for the chaos to ensue, are non-existent.

Smells are everywhere, I don't want to see them everytime.
I guess I can still controlling the kissing part at least...

Courtesy of a serious nasal illness in my childhood and then corona a year+ ago, smell is the last acute of my senses - I don't smell some things at all, other smell weirdly (and often unpleasant) and most are just so weak that could be easily put into first category. So I'm not sure how much of a difference being able to see those things will make in my life. Hardly a lot for sure. Plus I would've look terribly with that bright blue eye FL in question was sporting after developing her rare condition... No, thanks, I like my scentless life as it is.
Kissing visions, in other hand, are both exciting and potentially distracting, but probably end up being more useful in the long run. I actually already tried this method before on some people, and even without prophetic visions this can give a great insight about what the person you're kissing thinks of you for real. Well, if you pay enough attention to the response and not just how you feel in the moment, which can be pretty challenging to many. I, for the record, is too much of an overthinking introvert to slow my brains down even in such circumstances, so multitasking won't be an issue at all. The only real problem I can see is that some of those visions won't be happy, souring the whole experience in process, but I guess I'm cynical enough to not see it as a hugely negative factor. Like I've already said before, I don't mind spoilers, especially bad ones. Better to be fully prepared for whatever is ahead.

This one is very easy for me ! I am already quite sensitive to smells, so I know that been able to see them would be overwhelming. Smells are everywhere ! It would add a layer of colours and texture to everything. This would be horrible. So much information everywhere. And colour is not something that can be blocked. Such a power would turn someone crazy in half a day.
On the other hand, I'm quite restricting in who I kiss, so the predictions would be scarce and thus not much disturbing.

Does anyone know Fables, Bill Willingham's comic ?
The big bad wolf "Bigby" is the sheriff in the human Fabletown. He chain-smokes to block all the smells (because even in human form he has smell-abilities of a wolf).

You have two other senses to react to smells.
I presume that seeing the future is what your future will be with the person you kissed . . . a hall pass to the future. How far in the future would be material (5 minutes, a day, a week, a month, a year, a lifetime) but whether it is a polaroid snapshot or complete scene is more important in context. Seeing the future always brings in the law of unintended consequences, but the age old question still remains: if you know the future and change something, did that change really create the future you saw?

I was going to write a semi-humorous response to this, which was that when you are older and in a long time relationship, you don't want to see the future when you kiss your partner, because it will only be a boring vision of increasingly achy joints and sitting around at home together watching t.v.
However, then I began thinking about it, and I realized that because the sense of smell is intimately connected with memory, this really is a pretty profound question: would you rather envision the past or see the future?
I also realized that in reflecting on this question I am desperately trying to avoid doing work. In fact, I think this question might be better phrased: would you rather write a tedious committee report or spout pretentious nonsense on Dramabeans?
