This is a fight as old as time, but I do appreciate the levity of throwing in more than just lead and second lead choices.

And for Hotel Del Luna it’s between the male lead and a super popular food Youtuber that the female lead loves to watch and get her food recs from. The two camps duking it out at BAAB and ABAA. For me Hotel Del Luna is missing my bae Chung Myung as the choice so my picks would be BBBC heh. Call me a troublemaker, and legit Hotel Del Luna remains one of my biggest alterna-ship dramas. Man Wol and Chung Myung basically owe me another story.
