Gumiho vs. Kiss: Vote!

As you know, an epic showdown is approaching, with My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho and Playful Kiss both airing on Wednesday-Thursday nights.

Girlfriday and I have literally spent hours (HOURS!) trying to figure out how to handle recaps of both dramas (if Playful Kiss ends up being recap-worthy, that is), and both dramas have the potential to be madly addictive and highly popular with fans.

One problem: We have yet to discover how to make time stand still. [She’s a bitch that way -GF] Recaps take time and there’s just no way that I, for example, could do two in one night. [Well now you’re just being lazy. -GF] No matter how you slice it, we have to prioritize. And that’s hard. So we’re leaving the decision to you in a vote!

Basically, the pattern is AABB or ABAB. We’re ignoring ABBA. [Because it’s Swedish pop? Don’t hate! See that giiiiiiirl. Watch that sceeeene. Diggin’ the Dancing Queeeeeeeen! -GF] [Have you been drinking again? -JB]

Vote for your preference below, and we’ll let the numbers do the talkin’.

BIG FAT CAVEAT: Barring extenuating circumstances, we will abide by the winning pattern. However, we reserve the right to change our minds if, for instance, one drama starts sucking the mighty big one halfway through, in which case we want to feel free to bump up the better performer. And we are not making promises as to WHEN these recaps get put up. We are mindful of fan fervor and would love to be as fast as possible, but we also want to leave room for, you know, life and stuff. We will promise to try.

[Let the cheating begin! -GF]

Gumiho Gumiho Kiss Kiss all the way. Kiss has been done before as many people have already stated. Plus, (this is just my opinion) the plot of Kiss is boring and predictable. Also, I like a main character with spunk. I don't like ditzy female leads, but Kiss if it follows the manga is going to. And KHJ is not my favorite actors. He's great on variety shows but in BoF he was...sub par.

i love both!! but,i choose to vote for gumiho, gumiho, kiss, kiss since guhimo aired before kiss. as for me, its quite fair that way. do the recaps based on which drama aired first. but whatever the decision might be, i'll agree to it..just got to wait for the recaps patiently. thats better than nothing.

Gumiho has proven it's quality while Kiss still has to prove itself.

Gumiho should be first for a couple of reasons...
1) It aired first so it has dibs on recaps (haha yes a show has rights)
2) Lee Seung Gi
3) Even if Kiss is good, Gumiho has already won our hearts with it's awesomeoness
4) Shin Mina is going to trample all over the other lead girl in terms of awesomeness
5) Lee Seung Gi, Lee Seung Gi, LEE SEUNG GI

Lol...I'm going to watch Playful Kiss, but handsdown MGIAG will trample all over it.

Gumiho Gumiho Kiss Kiss.. So you can easily drop PK if it sucks..

Sorry to the PK fans.. but the preview didn't look impressive (well aside from the girl naming all 13 SUJUs ehhehehehe..

We already know the story for playful kiss.. so we'll just look onto the acting and delivery..
unlike the GUmiho.. up to this point we are all playing our cards on what the freakin thing will happen..

so let's focus the energy on a fresh , new story.. that has charming actors and witty plot..

^^, not a PK hater.. just a MGIAG lover!

Is it only me that notice a lot of "GIVE ME THIS...GIVE ME THAT" around here?
JB, GF...you guys are already WAAAAY too generous to us around here.
I think most of us would be happy (& satisfied)that you guys will be devoting HOURS recapping for us. Please choose whichever one you two will ENJOY recapping,and releasing them whenever you guys are done(PLEASE DON'T RUSH...the world will NOT end...seriously)As for me, I just want to say Thanks for all the works you guys've been doing for ALL of us :)
I will enjoy reading (any)all the recaps :)

THANKS LADIES!!! for even asking. I would say, I'm already thankful that you do all these wonderful recaps. But since you ask, GUMIHO GUMIHO GUMIHO GUMIHO (",). Sorry for PK fans, but basically we know the story already while Gumiho is a surprise package. That's were my vote is.

i agree with many of the comments. i already watched iswak and LOVED it so not too excited for korean version since the plot will be pretty much the same.
on the other hand, gumiho is unpredictable, super fun, and love love love shin min ah! such a great actress :)

I haven't been watching GM so I'm indifferent. I also know the ISWAK storyline by heart and have read the manga and I imagine Chinese subs on this will be out pretty fast on Playful Kiss (well, maybe anyways) so I think it's logical to stick to GM since it's already airing.

Whatever you pick to do, I hope it works out the best for you gals! :) thx!

I got to be honest i am very apprehensive of Kiss. I don't like the promo video at all. I don't think i can tolerate the main lead baby talk or whinning talk.

Plus i am a huge Fam of Taiwanese Version of ISWTK 1 and 2. I love all the characters. Ardriel Lin was so adorable. And the Kiss... hot , hot , hot. I love every bit of ISWTK, i was smitten by Jishu as Adriel lin character was. I love the ever charming Ah Jin . And Jishu parents and his little bro were a treat to watch.

I know i will not be able to stop comparing sooooo i have no plans of watching kiss. So Guminho All The Way........

I prefer Gumiho just because we're already into the storyline and characters now, whereas with Playful Kiss we're not so much into it yet.

Just hoping Gumiho will get prioritized over PK. Though I'm anticipating both so much ^^ (and also SKKS, I'm just a sucker for trendy dramas lol)

Hey guys! I'm just really thankful for all you do. I think that if you keep up with what you are doing and add in PK when you can works the best. I think JB you have a point that who knows how it will all pan out, therefore I really don't see any need to change things.
I hate that this new show (that you want to recap) has cropped up to cause you to have less down time. You've committed to Gumiho until/if its not worth watching anymore and Kiss is the new kid. Recap when you can. It'll keep till the weekend(or whenever). I'll read regardless. And honestly it'll give me something to look forward to along with OT :)

Thanks you even asking. I'm grateful.

ISWAK was my first introduction to Taiwanese drama and will always have a special place in my heart but I love Hong Sisters' writing was too much so that take precedence over playful kiss... hehehe... i voted for Gumiho, Gumiho, Kiss , Kiss... the acting , pairing, directing is good as well.

... not too crazy over KHJ's acting in BOF but I will probably end up watching PK.

Why are people making such a big argument over this? Both will still be recapped! Its only a question of which gets recapped first, and a matter of test to a reader's patience.

But hey, personally I think the reason why JB and GF doesn't want to split the two shows and recap it individually is because neither wants to give up their part on recapping gumiho. HEHE. Admit it guys, its so fun to recap that gem of a show! ;)

100% GUMIHO for sure!

though I Looooooooooooooooooooooooved Taiwanese version of It STARTED WITH A KISS, and I've watched Japanese version which feels like a thousand tears ago, (that kind of main woman lead it's such a headache!) hahahahaaa...

I find HONG's Sister script will be much more powerful all the way, and I really like SMA and LSG's dynamic duo,, they are really cute and magical when together..

So, I'll vote, GUMIHO, GUMIHO, GUMIHO, KISS!
hahahaaa... gak ada di option yah?

I'm for Gumiho because it's a totally new story. It seems fun and creative so far. I think even if Playful Kiss does diverge from the original, it won't be too far off in terms of story line. So I think the gist would be pretty easy to get. Also, I'm very sure the "sweet" trailers of Playful Kiss haven't exactly captivated me very much. Oh KHJ, I'm crossing fingers that he'd be a lot better than what I saw in the trailers.
