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 #47 RESULTS
This is one of — if not the — closest poll results yet! A mere three votes separated the winner (love) from the loser (money), which means the Dramabeans population is fairly balanced between the romantics and the pragmatics — although I’d consider myself a little bit of both. I’m not the only one either as @indigoenchantment44, the first to comment, and many others were quick to point out that the truly preferable option would be to take the money and run off with your lover so neither of you have to put up with the mother-in-law from hell.
But in a world where you can only pick one — because that’s really the nature of this little game — romance came out on top. That’s not terribly surprising, though, since the majority of us likely gravitated towards K-dramas because of their heavy emphasis on fairy tale-like romances. For Beanies like @mreveryting and @lostpanda, see a lasting value in finding a loving partner.
Although our romantics may have won the poll, our money-loving pragmatics were more vocal in the comments about why they would choose the cash. For starters, as @gikata pointed out, I didn’t specify “true” love, so if we’re talking some ol’ run of the mill love with no guarantee that it will last past your first fart in front of each other, then you’re likely to get more mileage out of the cash. As @9tailedvixen so eloquently put it: “Romance is fleeting, but compound interest is not.”
