I was going to vote for TGBM, but Lee has adamantly opposed to watching sad shows so! Even though I’ve never watched My Roommate is a Gumiho, I will vote for it 🫡

Fireheart Galathinyus

The fun option here is definitely My Roommate is a Gumiho ‼️

Zipzip

half the people saying gumiho is sadder other half saying bad mother is sadder. Half of you are lying but why lol.

Fortuna Sanoe

It’s this one right? Not the original?..

Milk Honey

It’s this show. The original is were the woman is the Gumiho, I actually haven’t watched the original but I heard it was good.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

I don’t that’s why I added that again. Lol. Folks still pushed it to the final round. Some don’t care and we have to respect that

Fortuna Sanoe

I haven’t seen the original either but I never get tired of this one 🤭

Milk Honey

I went to check it out because it was on the poll, because if it’s getting hyped I do be wanting to see if it’s good but the trailer definitely felt a bit sad. For myself I try to stay away from sad shows unless there are some fun elements & a great story line. Thanks for being honest about it too, I see a lot of sad shows get recommended & I be saying the same thing, they do NOT like sad shows & I had my fair share of them so I get it.

I saw the comments. Lee, plzz do keep the show in mind for later like watch it when you feel like it since you don't wanna watch a sad show now.

Milk Honey

I thought it was just me because I literally rewatch this all the time, idk why but maybe we get so used to the toxic romantic storylines & they bring something different with their genuine chemistry along with their wholesome moments. It’s such a comfort drama. ☺️

Milk Honey

Have you seen either? I’ve only seen Gumiho & I watched the trailer for the other show & it felt depressing. Gumiho is not a sad show, it has sad moments but it’s not a sad show at all.

J Man

Two great KDramas!

Milk Honey

Speaking of songs, I love when K-drama, C-dramas & Anime put me on to new songs & OST’s, Good stuff!

J Man

I know right!!!?

It’s an incredible heart warming show with an amazing message. Truly, it’s amazing! However, my heart was aching and I was crying almost every episode lol

J Man

Good Bad Mother also made Ahn Eun Jin one of my favorite KDrama actresses

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Sounds good. Lee never watches sad shows on my own though. Once it gets sad, I’m out. I seek thrills, dopamine and joy when I watch shows/movies

J Man

Side girl from Hospital Playlist. She really made a great impression and pushed up in front in terms of putting on great performances

It’s not really depressing fully. It has depressing moments like any other kdrama. But the drama itself overall isn’t depressing. A prime example of an overall depressing kdrama would be “Move to Heaven”.

Okay, I’m seeing some comments inferring that *The Good Bad Mother* is a sad show, and I’m genuinely curious did y’all actually find the show sad??? It definitely had sad moments, but from what I remember, the overall feel was more small-town chaos (the gossiping ahjummas, our sweet guliblle 7yr old and those chaotic twins 😭) with sprinkles of revenge at the last few episodes. I vaguely remember it being this mix of funny, heartbreaking, wholesome, slightly chaotic, and genuinely moving. Crying one minute and laughing the next. Hate sad shows but remember really liking this?? Or am I tripping and completely misremembering it??? 😂  Again, I’m not being defensive or argumentative I’m genuinely wondering whether this is a difference in my sadness threshold or if my memory has completely rewritten this drama in my head. 😭

DAC_clara99 MJ

😂Curious as to what brought on the eye roll

Rosemond

Exactly! I don’t know why people are only fixated on the sad part and making it the whole show. TGBM was definitely an everything genre with fun moments from the side characters. I think it’s a realistic show that has meaningful message. Personally I also like my roommate is a gumiho but it doesn’t carry as much meaning and I can’t recall any fun moments except for the romance.

Milk Honey

I haven’t watched the show so I can’t speak much on it. I think we(voters) are just going based off of what he suggests as his preferences for the channels drama reactions. Then we go based off what shows we think may be good candidates. I definitely think “a sad show” is preferential. Some people who watched it are saying it’s all sad & some may not think TGBM is a sad show at all, but like he said he is going to still respect people’s choices to push the show whether it’s “sad” or not. Since I did watch “My Roommate Is a Gumiho” I can only give my opinion of what I thought the show was based off of. It seems to be about friendship, family, romance, fantasy, daily life & has upbeat & comedic elements. I thought to vote on something that I thought would be a unique rom-com for them to react to. Whether people think any of the suggested shows is good or bad, is honestly all preferential. There’s some shows that they have reacted to on the channel that I absolutely don’t find entertaining & that’s okay. There’s some shows I thought I wouldn’t like & end up watching it with them & liked it. So hopefully everyone gets a chance to see their fav. show they are rooting for make it on the channel. 😊

Milk Honey

I ask kindly for you guys to give “My Roommate Is a Gumiho” a vote. If you haven’t seen it I hope you come to like it & for those who have seen it & have been waiting ever so patiently… I see you, I AM YOU! 😭🫡 I’m hoping we win this time around.

Pratiksha Majee

GBM has intense plot but can be depressing too with moments of laughter..it kind of has everything.

xartori

Good Bad Mother is a more serious drama show with lighthearted moments. Gumiho is fantasy romance with the typical korean mythological aspects and creatures (like nine tales) but with added comedy - the comedy in this series is peak - Hyeri the FL is fantastic : ) Gumiho is the better fun memorable show of the two.

DAC_clara99 MJ

I get what you're saying and agree with you. I actually voted for my roomate is a Gumiho in this round cause i feel its going to win anyway and Its what most want... so why not? Honestly have watched both shows, and while i dont vividly rember both very well. I remember how I felt, and one standing out more. I remember not finishing the last 2-3 episodes of my roomate, i think i got bored or something i dont know what it was. I think it had good romance but nothing else going for it i think was my problem. (❗❗Disclaimer: thats totally a me thing, slice of life and romannce are not my best generes. Especially on their own.) Point is when I saw beauty inside didnt make it I went "dang it noooooo" then became even more suprised that My roomate is a gumiho is winning over the good bad mother and people thought the show was sad. Because I remember laughing a lot...... and crying a lot too tho, but definately laughing more with lots of heartfelt moments. At the end of the day its all subjective. As much as i would like my favorite shows. i wouldnt want them to react to a show they genuinely wont enjoy as well. So the comments threw me off cause i thought they ould prefer the good bad mother over my roomate is a gumiho. I am going to stop here as i have realized how much i just yapped.

Milk Honey

I get you, like you said it’s all subjective. I had watched “because this is my first life” & I remember being frustrated that it was too slow of a show & I enjoyed rewatching it on the channel but on my own I wouldn’t have. Hearing others commentary on it definitely helped hold my interest. That’s exactly why I said we all have different perceptions on what’s considered sad, boring, slow & a good or bad show. Your point is understandable & valid on how you view any show you watch. We are just advocating for what we want them to see whether they like it or not is up to them. I hope they like it for what it is, I did also put out there, it isn’t a super action packed show. It’s definitely a good watch in my opinion but it doesn’t have a crazy pivot plot but it does have a good storyline, just good enough to keep your attention. I honestly think the show did a good job of making each episode interesting. I’m the type to get bored easily when the show starts to slow down but I think this is one of those dramas where each episode is bringing a different plot point that helps move the story line along, it’s one of those dramas for the girls too! If you know what I mean, lol.
