Would You Rather #35
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 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 #34 RESULTS
The latest round of Would You Rather is another close one, with the option to attend a blind date — courtesy of your parents — just barely edging out the alternative of playing matchmaker for your sworn enemies. Whenever the results are this close, I know y’all either love both options or hate them, and I think, in this case, it’s safe to say most of you were picking the lesser of two evils.
So what made the blind date option slightly more appealing? Well, for most of you, like @kurama and @mmmmm, you were attracted to the option that came with food — potentially free food if your parents or date are willing to foot the bill. (I get it.) Plus, if you’re like @asianromance, who pointed out that we’re talking about a single date, then the blind date is the less time-consuming option. As @sspat said, “time is too precious” to waste on people you hate.
And yet… a lot of you would rather play matchmaker for your enemies. @marianlin was optimistic that the experience would be rather fun, trying to match their enemy with the “worst and weirdest dates,” and @gikata and @jls943 agreed that playing matchmaker could be a satisfying form of revenge, especially if you pair your enemies together so they can make each other miserable, like in Marry My Husband.

I like kids so I prefer to babysit a child than an unruly chaebol. Kids can be fun to be around and can be total sweethearts.

I would 100% rather deal with actual kids than an unruly & entitled chaebol lol at least kids are cute when they throw tantrums and they'll tire themselves out after a while 😂

Babysit an unruly chaebol is a big fat no-no. No is no.
But undercover NIS agent as a kid's babysitter...that'll be so much fun. And by kids, not the ones already talking. I'd prefer the crawlers. They are more adorable than talking children.

There is no way I would be a cop, babysiting a chaebol. There is no way I would be burdened with clearing/ stopping rich people's mess on a cop's salary.
As NIS agent, I would be overqualified to be babysitter but atleast there is no chance of danger and it would be relatively peaceful than whatever I have to deal as NIS agent.

I'd rather babysit kids. Kids are cool.
Entitled and unruly chaebols with far too much money and power? Not so much.

I have worked with both adults and kids... and believe you me, kids are by far much easier to work with.

I believe you. But as a neuro-atypical imbecile with the social skills of a literal pebble, I'm more comfortable babysitting rocks and spoons.
Given the choice here, if I work with an adult, however annoying, at least I don't have to answer to screaming parents for everything I might say or not say to their child, or the food they are allowed to eat (I'm not talking allergies, I'm talking completely arbitrary decisions made by the parents), the books or shows they are allowed to enjoy, the song they must listen 100 times in a row before falling asleep, and everything in between... I take an adult every time.

@Kitsune Moon and @Cecee - I'm ND as well but since I was, as typical for many Asian eldest daughters, made to do the unpaid babysitting of my younger siblings as I was growing up, I guess I got used to it. Plus, I do teach part-time and find that the teens in my classes are really much better people than many adults I have to deal with.
This is in comparison all the recalcitrant CEOs shooting their mouths off at everyone, haughty society ladies who think they walk on water, and the media I have had to deal with in my previous career. In my current working life I have to handle misogynists (including incels, MRAs etc) who just love to send me all sorts of horrible threats because of my work as an anti-violence against women advocate.
I do, however, need a LOT of alone time to recharge fully. Being around Neurotypicals (especially extroverts) can be... exhausting.

Absolutely no to babysitting! There's a very good reason I never had kids. Call me selfish or curmudgeonly, but I only start to like them when they reach the age where I can do the kinds of things with them that interest me but won't upset their parents. My adult niece and nephews all seem to think I'm a pretty cool aunt.
I'm currently group-watching My Secret Terrius, keeping my opinions about those obnoxious kids to myself, as everybody else in the group seems to find them adorable.
I think I might actually enjoy dealing with an unruly chaebol. The younger ones are nearly always hot. And if the elderly ones take a shine to you, they might lavish you with expensive gifts and/or marry you off to that hot son!

Highly highly recommended. I'm currently rewatching after hearing another Beanie raving about it. I'd forgotten the storyline so it's like watching a brand new drama. It is SO easy to watch and entertaining. The child actors are SO natural and the director must be a genius. The interactions between the adults and kids is a joy. I adore the leads, especially the female lead is a complete delight. I am putting this drama into my top 10 or 20 must watch Korean dramas of all time.

It is a delight, I loved it when it aired.
Just little things like the female lead getting a job at the handbag shop that was an NIS cover and making their lives difficult by selling too many handbags.

The details and directing are wonderful. I am enjoying the rewatch even more than the first time, soaking in all the little details and beautiful cinematography. What a gem where everything from the script to the casting are perfect.

The details are well thought in this drama. What seems random at first has a role later.
My secret Terrius is one of the best crafted drama I have watched.

Be an NIS agent undercover as a babysitter . . . easy choice. I am very good with children (nieces and nephews often asked me to babysit when their parents had plans).
Dealing with an unruly, arrogant, annoying, entitled, and bitter chaebol would be a nightmare, even if restrained with hand-cuffs to a chair or a gag in the mouth.

I like children but I went with the adult because you can ignore them and if they make poor choices they can be held responsible for their own actions. Trying to implement boundaries with an entitled screaming child trying to run havoc can lead to them being hurt or damaging property. If you don’t have the authority to manage the situation you could end up dealing with consequences from parents who think their child can do no wrong. I have seen those dramas so no thank you.

Kids, especially other people's kids are actually a lot of responsibility, especially when things go wrong. I used to like babysitting and have even worked as a nanny, but knowing what I know now and the responsibility involved in case anything goes awry, I would never watch other people's kids. I have a lot of respect for those who do, though.

This may sound cold but adults have more fears and weaknesses so they are easier to manage. Children are a lot more bright-eyed and hopeful and who would want to make them scared?! 😤
So unruly chaebol all the way. Besides, who knows, he could turn out to be Dong Ha's character in Chief Kim, a sweetheart with a tough shell 🤗

I'd babysit a chaebol in order to steal their money. It's my low effort, individualist contribution in the global class war. I'm terrible with children and these poor kids deserve better.

To be clear, it's just an unruly chaebol and not one of the murderous ones? I echo the sentiments of those who would be concerned about undertaking a presumably dangerous NIS mission while charged with the care of a family's precious children. That would be more stressful than dealing with an adult who ultimately is responsible for his own actions. I'd give him the old "choices, decisions, consequences" speech and go from there. And who knows? Maybe that unruliness could be turned to a force for good.

Be an NIS agent undercover as a babysitter is a better and an interesting option.
Better to keep a healthy distance from unruly chaebols.
