    @Lmangla and @CamelKnight Thank you both for making this poll. It was fun to read everyone's list and vote for our faves.

Thanks, but main credits go to @Lmangla who's a champion in setting up fun things like this! I facilitate when I'm able, which is not often, unfortunately

No issues with PMY, or indeed with PSJ, it was his character whom I found rage-inducingly unwatchable, as fun and lovable as DIY root canal with a rusty fork.  As for just picking one, I can't do that when I know nothing at all about so many of the options. Most came from Dramas I actively avoided, so  I get to play felon by skipping the tollgate, I guess

Oh no.. I thought Hwang Bo Ra was just so annoying I could shoot her. The rest was awesome

Polls are closed! thank you for participating. it was lovely to hear that folks had fun nominating as well participating in the polls.

 

it was interesting that villians and side characters had the most votes. guess, we really feel strongly about them but we don't get to often show our love/attention for these characters.....

 

here's a summary of the winners:

 

tollgate poll 1 - villains
1. villains award # 1 - the character you wanted to slap the most! how silly are they -- Oh Tae Ree noodle heiress from good witch
2. villains award #2. the villain you are glad to see in jail or dead -- psycho appa from come hug me
3. villains award #3. The villain that should've won in the end -- Song Yoon Ah from The K2

 

all the villains won by a strong margin against the others. we really disliked them but we also noticed their strong performance and character arc in the drama.

 

Tollgate poll 3 - side characters
1. side characters award #1. you wish you could hug them and give them their own show. who cares about the leads! -- Doo Chil-sung (Jang Hyuk) from Wok of Love
2. side characters award #2. everybody needs friends and family like these side characters -- Doo Chil Seong - Wok of Love
3. side characters award #3. sometimes villains are better than these annoying folks who raise your BP -- Lawles Lawyer: Choi Min Soo, so good at playing the villain An O-Joo

 

jang hyuk's character in wok of love seems to have lots of hearts even if he wasn't the main lead.

 

Tollgate poll 2 - dramas
1. dramas award #2. this drama is too brainy and requires many brain cells to process -- Tunnel
2. 2. dramas award #5. the drama that is like a good meal and has a bit of everything -- sides, starters, main + salad and even dessert. -- My mister, closely followed by Just between lovers
3. dramas award #7. it started off well but ended stupidly - Misty

 

it may be brainy but tunnel was great! and very important -- had a happy, somewhat closed ending.

 

tollgate poll 4 - OTP / leads
1. OTP award #1. the OTP that made you swoon -- Whats Wrong With Secretary Kim Lee Young
2. OTP award #2. the OTP that made you laugh -- Whats Wrong With Secretary Kim Lee Young Joon and Kim Mi So
3. leads award #1. you wish the character was real and you could meet him/her -- Nam Shin III in AYHT

 

folks seem to love why secretary kim as a good romantic drama. will it stand the test of time though?

 

tollgate poll 5 - misc
1. the stuff behind! award #6. I want that watch! where the clothes/accessories are too good that you don't even care if that character annoys you -- Robot shin's fashion in are you human too, followed closely by Mr. Sunshine the clothes of Kudo Hina and the hanbook of Ae-Shin
2. fan service award #2. scenes that made you swoon -- What's Wrong With Secretary Kim kiss scenes and confessions
3. fan service award #3. this is why you watch dramas -- Why secretary kim

 

a special shout out to @CamelKnight for his help in putting this together. till the next event, thanks for playing!
