Would You Rather #37

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 #36 RESULTS

In dramaland, enemies-to-lovers K-dramas outnumber the amount of reverse harem stories, and the results of our poll correlate with this statistic. Beanies would much rather have one man that they gradually fall in love with over exchanged barbs and insults than have a whole house (or palace) full of men vying for their attention. When phrased like that, it almost makes me wonder why the harem didn’t win the poll. Thankfully, the comment section was popping, and everyone weighed in on the pros and cons of both options.

For Beanies like @mayhemf, who’ve had a mental harem of “ahjuicies” that they’ve been fangirling over for years, it would be a smooth transition from daydream to reality. Also, in traditional K-drama reverse harems (or a “stud farm,” as @babylilo called it), all the prospective men usually want what’s best for the leading lady and shower her with attention, which, according to @attiton, is more likely to set the groundwork for a healthy relationship. Plus, all the choices open the door for you to experience every trope imaginable, which sounds like a whole lot of fun for @sspat.

It’s those very choices, however, that made the majority of Beanies vote for the enemies-to-lovers option. Being perused by multiple guys can be stressful because, as @asianromance mentions, someone (or multiple someones) will be rejected — unless, of course, everyone involved is polyamorous. Seventy-eight percent of our Beanies, however, prefer that monogamous lifestyle, and they like the idea of hating someone until they love him. In K-dramas, though, as @jls943 pointed out, it really isn’t so much hate as it is a “terrible first (and second and third) impression” — or a host of other possible misunderstandings. The bickering, though, is part of the charm, and I’m kind of with @britney and @annegray on this one. The exchange of “barbs and petty sabotage” is exhilarating and mentally stimulating, and I’ll take one guy who teases me (in the right way) and worms his way into my life over a group of men who smother me with attention.

Ironclad logic. The only kdramas they have are probably old and pirated. I have been spoiled by streaming services and high production quality and will not go back! #nuglife

As far as I can tell, a chicken nugget (no eyes, no ears, no brain, no hands to work the remote) can't watch tv. I'd rather be able to watch lousy/pirated dramas than no dramas at all!

For some strange reason, when I googled for nuggets I found pictures of chicken nuggets with Nicolas Cage’s face on it. 😂😂
The rules of nugget life is still a bit murky. We will find out soon!!

Being eaten in 1 or 2 bites is preferable to being tortured and imprisoned for months on end with the likelihood of being executed.

Accidentally parachute into N. Korea :

First, I would prefer to stay in my human state.

Secondly, I'm Swiss, I can be in North Korea without being arrested.

Assuming you're actually living in Switzerland, you can just attend a concert at Se-Ri's music festival and look for Captain Ri; he's my only incentive to go to North Korea. No need to leave your country!

Parachute into N Korea. I'd rather stay human and have the capacity to hide/ fight/ run away (and get the chance to meet a Captain Ri & friends, and neighborhood ajummas!), than become a helpless chicken nugget waiting to get rescued. Also, the prospect of getting eaten is much much scarier than getting shot.

Turning into chicken nugget sounds horrible.

While being stuck in a tree sounds equally bad in a country that would shoot you in anyway, it still has the possibility that a Hyun Bin might rescue me...so.....North Korea it is.

The obvious answer is NEITHER.

Both options are death sentences:
1. An American landing in paranoid North Korea is a spy who will be instantly tried and executed.
2. No one can resist eating a crispy, chunky chicken nugget.

It is uncertain if I will encounter a dreamy Hyun Bin in North Korea who will help me get back to my country safe and sound. And though I am not south korean, which means I am allowed to be there, the idea of getting eaten scare me much less than visiting North Korea.

The prospect of meeting and evading with Captain Ri communism sounds better to me than being a helpless chicken nugget. I survived growing up in communism, I don't think I can make it as a low grade cooked piece of meat(?). But since I see that we can chose neither, I will pass on both, not worth the trouble.

I just can't with this prompt, DB staff. This is too much!

How can I choose between turning into a chicken nugget and landing in NK? Is there any other choice at all???

Am I a sentient chicken nugget? The prospect of helplessly waiting to be eaten — or even worse, deep-fried first — sounds more terrifying than taking my chances in NK. A U.S. soldier jumped the border this fall and was eventually returned, so maybe I could do the same — minus the military imprisonment upon repatriation.

Oh, I assumed we become nuggets after the shape is formed. Then we're off to the freezer before someone decides to fry us?

Didn't expect to have philosophical discussions on "when is a chicken nugget considered alive?" but that's your normal day at DB XD

and do I want to be slathered in gooey sauce just before starting a trip down the alimentary canal? No. Hopefully I’d be dead before the final act! 💩👀

Anything that offers the option of contact w Hyun Bin is worth taking a chance on 👍🏽

Either option is not favorable. Tough decision.

Maybe parachuting to NK while HyunBin wait there to save me is the best scenario. Otherwise I dont want either option.

Both options seem horrific!

Presuming that I wouldn't be sentient chicken nugget: Chicken Nugget.

Even if I was a sentient chicken nugget, i would hope for a quick death. Everyone loves chicken nuggets. I wouldn't have any nerves or pain receptors, so it should be okay, right?

I don't think I could handle the mental stress of being stuck in North Korea as well as Seri could. Too many horror stories, especially with recent-ish ones about young teens getting a decade of hard labor because they watched a kdrama. Even if there is a Ri Jung-hyuk out there for me, I'm not as rich as Seri to be able to meet him in Switzerland two weeks out of the year on my salary. And for the rest of the year, I would be worried about him.

I’ve come to the conclusion that while everywhere else on DB is for beanies to have fun, this is the place for DB staff to have fun (by giving us those NOPE-ive options and seeing us agonizing over choosing) 😅 Ok, that’s fair, but if possible, perhaps not at the cost of beanies having to choose from such options, please ☺️.

So, for me, I’ll quote @jerrykuvira

I'm not rathering!

It sounds to me like it's asking whether I want to get eaten or get shot. Neither really. But if I had to choose I would go with turning into a chicken nugget. I have an anxiety disorder and if I ended up in N. Korea I would need to save myself and I have zero confidence that I would be able to accomplish that with my level of anxiety. However if I turned into a nugget my mom would stop at nothing to save me, and that woman is a lioness when it comes to her children. So I would trust her more to save me if I turned into food than I would trust me to save myself if I ended up in N. Korea. (P.S. Sorry to put such a burden on you Mom. But you're just so awesome, I know you'll save me! <3)
