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 #40 RESULTS
The results are closer than they’ve been in the last few polls, but there is still a clear winner: the option to time-travel and save your favorite idol — with the caveat that you forget the last 10 years, of course. For @Britney and @babylilo, though, the most appealing part of the winning prompt was actually the memory loss and the potentially different lives they’d have when they returned to the future.
The rest of our potential time travelers, however, indicated that they picked that option because, well, the idea of living without a filter seemed dangerous — especially for a teacher like @dncingemma who’d probably loser her job after going off on her students and/or their parents. And even if your career wasn’t on the line, there was still an almost guaranteed chance of hurting someone’s feelings with your words, a consequence @pynyc didn’t want to risk. Although, since most of you saw this as the lesser of two evils, you were a bit perplexed as to who you would be saving if you went back in time, as a fair number of you admitted to not having a favorite idol. But that’s all right — there were just as many Beanies in the comments section eager to go back in time if it meant rescuing Sun-jae/Woo-seok.
As for the opposing option, well, there were 79 Beanies who’d actually prefer to lose their filter. @attiton believes it would be liberating to no longer have the internal debate over the appropriateness of what she’s going to say, and @darkcc (in what was perhaps the most comprehensive response to one of our Would You Rather polls) agreed whole-heartedly that losing one’s filter could be a blessing, especially for someone neurodivergent. She converted me to Team Zero Filter — unless Sun-jae/Woo-seok really is part of the time-traveling equation.
