This is a difficult choice. Since I do not want to be stuck on a deserted island for 15 years, I would choose Gu Jun Pyo and his mom.

I don't remember anything about his mother. I can only guess by the comparison that she's horrible but what did she do that that an alternative would be preferring to be stranded alone on a desert island for 15 years?

Forget the mother-in-law; I like the fabulous sister-in-law.

Neither.
If I had a real horrible MIL, I guess we could move to a deserted island.

Gu Jyun Pyo’s Mom all the way, I’m ready with my seaweed, or Kimchi, for slapping!

I don't actually know who this MIL is, but I guess I'd still choose her over being stuck on a deserted island for 15 years? My partner and I would just have to have a serious conversation about how much contact he needs with his mother and which country he wants to escape to in order to get away from her.

Have Gu Jun-pyo's mom as a MIL. For every hate she gives, I'll spend her money. For every vitriol she spills, I'll make my bond with her daughter stronger. I'm sorry but we'll both descend into that hell until she behaves herself.

I can have Jun Pyo's mom as my mother in law one day, and ask for a divorce the next day. I think she would actually pay me and thank me for that. So why not? 😏

15 years has a hard end date. Plus I would somehow build myself a whole little cabin and find ramyeon in an esky and make friends with birds. And have lots of time for thinking about my lost hopes and dreams.

Bad MIL torture is forever and you probably can't slowly and systematically poison her so she dies young and nobody knows that it was you. Theoretically.

I was tempted by desert island as I like being by myself a lot, but 15 years is too much. In that amount of time, I could get divorced, move far away from MIL, or create some firm boundaries.

So … I wouldn’t be able to watch dramas on the deserted island? In that case, bring on the MIL.

GJP all the way. I'll just introduce his mom to mine and watch all the hell break loose while I enjoy some popcorn and perks of being a rich wife. Never tried that before, perhaps it'll be fun, if only for a while. Once the novelty wears off along with my patience, we're getting that divorce as soon as I find a way to make him keep BOTH women - better you than me, sorry, darling! possible. Perhaps as a result HE is gonna be the one wishing to end up on a deserted island instead...

Sign me up for being stranded on a deserted island with Park Eun Bin!
15 years is fine. Forever is fine with me as well.

An @attiton not surrounded by people—whoever they might be—is an @attiton who quickly turns into a babbling mess of unceasing internal monologue, devoid of the ability to tell reality from imagination.

Plus, y’all haven’t ever met my mother-in-law…I could very well be looking at an improvement in my situation 😅

15 years on a deserted island is too long. MIL could very well die within that period, leaving me and GJP all her money *rubs palms with a greedy murderous glint in eye*

I'll choose GJP's mum cuz then I get to hear Lee Min Ho saying "DISGAASTING SHIIIIAT" firsts hand and tbh, that's a life well- lived.
Also, have you seen the amount of crazy money that woman has? Let her throw some at me in exchange for leaving her self-obsessed man-child.

I mnea, 15 years on a deserted island with no sunscreen or kdramas? NO.
Or food. Or shelter. I know I wouldn't survive in the wild for 5 minutes.
But mothers-in-law can be avoided!

A mother-in-law, even the worst one in the world, is a better option than 15 years on a desert island. The very fact of being alone on the island is terrible. 15 years without medical assistance? Impossible. A common cold could turn into pneumonia and lead to death. Appendix. No chance of survival, etc. And as a woman? 15 years without intimate hygiene products? Even in the Middle Ages, women had it better on these days of the month.

I have the survival skills of a domesticated puppy that would manage to drown in a puddle, but passive aggressive skills of a cooperate employee. I'll take the MIL anyday over having to boil my own potatoes.

Gu Jun-pyo's mom as my MIL implies I was at some point clinically insane enough to marry that man, which, despite my cabinet full of antidepressants, is not a level of psychosis I will ever succumb to. An island isolated from the world - or as my introverted self calls it, a real good time - is obviously the better choice.

There're plenty of horrible mothers (the one in Daily dose of Sunshine who bankrupt her daughter is maybe above the greedy one in Lovely liar, and there's an abusive one in Twinkling watermelon) so what has this one do to be exumed from Boys over flowers ? (if I've correctly assumed since I have not seen this drama)
I live in a country where being filial is not as an imposition as in Korea. So I belive we'll go live elsewhere and never pick up the phone. Much feasible than living on a deserted island despite all the Robinson Crusoe and similar stories that populated my dreams in my youth. I know I'll be helpless and would succombe slowly.

if the land is good on the island I will build a farm there. for free? are you kidding. of course. no people? people only disappoint me marvelous.

But obviously - its the mother-in-law who would get banished to the deserted island!!
