Love Triangles: Dorama style

Aug 03, 2007 10:12

Doramas are replete with one thing I love: love triangles. Sometimes they even up the ante and have love quadrangles. It is very exciting. Sometimes the losing party is very nice. Sometimes not so much so. In fact, often they are completely insane. I rather like the insane ones especially when they go right over the top, myself, but often you ( Read more... )

Umi! I wanted to kick her repeatedly. And then wait for an hour and do it again.

1 My Girl and My Name is Kim Sam Soon

2 Spring Waltz

3 No idea...

4 Stairway to Heaven

5 Hana Yori Dango 2. *Umi die die die*

6 Delightful Girl Chun Hyang. He's got to me my most hated male OTP interloper ever. I was very upset he didn't die at the end.

7 Full House. Oh God, I hated her.

I'll be back with more examples for you :)

Everything about him was evil. I am sort of unable to see the poor actor in anything else now!

I hated the guy in 6 too. Sadly, rarely do the other parties get the comeuppance they deserve (Stairway to Heaven being one of the exceptions). I think we are supposed to think that their long, lonely lives without the hero/heroine are punishment enough.

5. HYD 2, UMI-CHAN! I HAAAAATED her, but afterwards, I ended up liking Erika Toda. o_O XDDDDDD
6. Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang...? XDDDDDDDD;; I never finished, but I read spoilers of it, and the framing and jail part jumped out at me. xDDD

I wanna know the other ones though, those are funny. Hahah.

Yes!

There is nothing like over the top OTP interference for entertainment and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

In case you ever want to see the rest. :)

1. My Girl and Pride
2. Spring Waltz (the girl had persistence, I'll give her that. God, I hated her.
3. Resurrection.
4. Stairway to Heaven. The most insane person I've ever seen in a dorama and that takes some doing.
7. Full House. Talk about self-absorbed! And I loved the heroine so much I got mad whenever the hero kept running after that girl...

2. Spring Waltz

3. Is resurrection. It's actually much less about romance than revenge and involves a lot of skullduggery and a twin who takes the place of another twin.

4. Stairway to Heaven....I wouldn't say I liked it exactly. But it was good on the mocking of the angst front.

6. Delightful Girl

7. Full House. The OTP female interferer was a nutter but I wanted the girl to get together with the lovely male OTP interferer. I thought he was hotter than Rain, but I am odd that way.

Well done... The other I was thinking of for 1 was Pride (Jdrama) but it looks like there are others.

6. My Delightful Girl has perhaps one of the nuttier male third wheels. But bonus points for the endless optimism that a relationship will work out when you've blackmailed someone into it by getting her husband stuck in jail.

3. Resurrection
4. Stairway to Heaven. God, that woman was entirely insane.

Right on the rest!
