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.

WOULD YOU RATHER #18 RESULTS
The results for #18 were really close! At one point when I checked in they were 50-50! Sometime after that, though, the option to “scare off your BFF’s blind dates” took the lead — a very slight lead. Overall, most of the comments indicated that this was one of the few prompts that people had a hard time voting for because they’d actually enjoy doing both options.
Since most people found both answers appealing, everyone seemed to have to stretch to find a reason one was slightly better than the other. In the end, people ruled against being fake-married with their BFF because it’s a “long con,” as @marysadanaga put it, and @jls943 and @parichita agreed that maintaining the farce for a long period of time would be more difficult and require more dedication. For @gikata, the longevity of a fake marriage — and all it would entail — would be excessively draining, and that’s not even factoring in the fear of discovery. @xpressemu, for one, doesn’t want to constantly deal with the lie or always be on the lookout, worrying about being recognized and having to go into spouse-mode. No, it would be far more “fun to be bat sh*t cray-cray” every now and then and scare away your BBF’s dates.
The majority of commenters expressed the same sentiments, agreeing that it would be exceptionally fun to don a fake persona and drive off your friends’ unwanted suitors. @elinor was actually so enthusiastic that I think she’d love to make date-crashing a career (but obviously she’d do it for free if it was for a friend).
However, nearly the same amount of people chose to fake-marry their BFF, but not as many of them stuck around to argue in support of their choice. Of those who commented, though, the reasons for choosing this option varied more based on personal preferences. @mmmmm, for example, thought it would be the easier option because she’s already frequently mistaken as the romantic partner of some of her male friends. @shinayame, however, looked at it from the angle that being a pretend spouse would likely involve cohabitation, and if the BFF’s house is as nice as the ones associated with K-drama contract marriages, well that’s a mighty appealing perk that’s hard to ignore.
