Would You Rather #54
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 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 #53 RESULTS
Our last poll was a fun little jaunt into the fantasy genre, as Beanies voted in favor of either Team Vampire or Team Werewolf Demon. The results were a lot closer than in more recent polls, but there was still a clear winner: vampires. So why did the vampires (barely) defeat the demons? Well, honestly, it seems like a lot of you are more thirsty for Lee Soo-hyuk than blood — looking at you @bunnysonaki, @lillamy, @jillian, and @redfox — but he still counts as a reason. Those who weren’t so vocal about their love for Scholar Who Walks the Night actor, however, voiced their love for a variety of popular blood-sucking hotties in popular media, indicating that vampires might have won this poll due to their more frequent representation in media as being redeemable hotties — because, you know, you’ve gotta have your belief that you can change him (@panshel).
Meanwhile, Beanies who picked demon in this round of voting took a more practical look at their options — except for @lordcobol, who voted for demon because his Y-chromosome has a thing for Park Shin-hye. The rest, however, saw flaws in dating a vampire. For instance, @gikata and @asianromance had lists of misgivings, including a vampire’s aversion to the sun and very specific dietary restrictions. Plus, demons have more interesting powers, and given their inclination to enticing people with their greatest desires, @ceciliedk argues that could make them extremely fun to have around.
No matter which way you voted, though, it seems everyone agreed with @unaspirated that “guyliner” is a must.

I don't like cutting in people, but let's imagine I had no problem with that, and was a K-drama superiorly good plastic (or plastique?) surgeon.
And on top of that, I would be someone the police consulted for advice?
Better that than vigilante priest, that's for sure.

Me and frigid Catholicism will never be friends, I'm afraid. Not that I'm any thrilled to work with police, even fictionally upright drama version of it, ewww... Once again, I'd rather politely NOPE to both options.
Can I borrow demon powers from previous poll contestant and use them to try tempt Father Hottie tho? Now THAT sounds like a good time^^Required fields are marked *

Even if I wasn’t disqualified from being a priest by my gender and beliefs, I’d still go for the plastic surgeon/police consultant. Being a vigilante seems cool in dramas, but rarely are these people getting paid, and I value my time and labor too much for that. 🤑 Vigilante also seems like an all-hours situation, and I’d rather conduct my business during working hours (so as not to interfere with drama-watching 😉), which seems more likely as a consultant.

I like the plastic surgeon police consultant more. Seems to be a more practical job.
Vigilante priest can only get one in trouble in real life.
Thanks for the shoutout @daebakgrits. 🤣 Lee Soo Hyuk is really the only reason for my choice.

I envision a life where I can cut. I don't think I'm averse to it. Surgical med dramas are my favorite med genres. As for being a vigilante priest, now that's something I'd like to do because it is a challenge for me so I'll actually be pushing my boundaries. I'm very averse to physical fights as much as I am averse to what causes those fights, hence I generally use dialogues to diffuse situations or settle the scores with brains over brawns.
So being a vigilante priest will really be lots of fun for me as I'll be walking new waters. And, I hope it comes with Kim Hae-il's level of form automatically. I don't want to have to do the work that'll build my body to form😊.

Surgeon/consultant. Vigilantes face unpaid risks, surgeons get paid and in the real world if not necessarily Kdramaland, consultants usually get paid too.
Most mostly, certain aspects of the priestly life don't appeal to me. 😜

I am too squeamish to do anything medical/body-transformation related, but I think becoming a vigilante priest would make me depressed and angry all the time. All the corruption that I have to sacrifice my time and health to rectify because too many people out there suck. And I'm not even allowed to do the Justitia thing of killing them because of morals and priesthood and stuff.
Being a plastic surgeon consultant to the police can also help bring some people to justice. Not as satisfying, but I won't have to give all of myself.

I cannot be a priest because I am religion-indifferent but it would be fun to pretend to be one and learn everyones´ secrets
not so fun sticking scalpels into people

I don't think I can compete against Kim Nam-gil when it comes to active priesthood. There is an element that would probably require from me more than just punching anything (I can throw punches but there is very little chance that they actually land on the expected target... I suppose I might get a bonus point for trying). Joining the priesthood requires some level of faith, of which I have none.
Additionally, while the Fiery Priest is careful to embrace other faiths too (which, as I understand, is a common trait among intelligent religious people), would I truly have the necessary IQ digits to acknowledge other faiths without thinking mine is the only true one? Too risky!
One final thought: Honestly, those priest robes may look fab on Nam-gil sshi but, how practical are they in a fight? Can I be sure I will not trip on them and splat myself face first on the ground in the middle of a fist scene? No, I can't.
I'll be a plastic surgeon police consultant. That sounds fun. Perfect use of my "supposed" plastic surgeon skills, by which I mean an eye for and understanding of anatomy and facial structure and a calm, practical mindset. Now, I'm not a trained surgeon and I don't think I have those skills, but if I were a surgeon, I would have them. They are the common denominators of plastic surgery. So, becoming a police consultant would be exploring another platform where I can apply my day-to-day skills.
Sounds much easier to me than first learning how to fight and then becoming a priest. Too much work combining two sets of completely different skills under one robe!

I think Kim Nam-gil's character walked into priesthood completely by accident and unplanned. He was on a path of self-destruction riddled with guilt from accidentally killing a bunch of kids during combat. And then the priest happened to run into him one night and literally saved his life. So I think he followed that priest into the church. Sometimes life transforming events can shock people into religion. I know it's how people in my family became Christians. They didn't automatically turn into angels either. It was a long slow process, but going to church has been tons better for them than the alternative and where their life was headed before.

My mistake, for some reason I thought this was asking if I would rather date an angry priest or a cold-looking surgeon? Well based on my less than pleasant experience with surgeons, I would have to skip him. I know he gets paid way more than the priest (ha) but no way am I marrying an uncommunicative surgeon. Give me the the lowly paid social justice loving dude, although his rage issues will not be fun to deal with either.
