Can this also be an unofficial Beanie vote for best love triangle of all dramas? Because I'm going to put in my vote for Healer as well! Love triangles usually get on my nerves, but the trope was used so refreshingly in Healer! Sure, as Healer, Seo Jung Hoo got in his cool super hero rescue moments, but it was as Park Bong Soo that he and Young Shin actually got to develop a mutual understanding and trust on which to build a relationship. The jealousy that Healer had for Bong Soo was not only a longing for an honest relationship with Young Shin, but for an honest relationship with the rest of the world - to be able to live a normal life, and that theme tied in so well with the entire drama.

The love triangle was perfect for the comedy AND angst!

Another one...I'm suddenly realizing there were lots of good ones last year.
Kim Bok-joo/ Jung Joon-hyung/ Joon-hyung's brother in WFKBJ.

I loved their dynamic. Joon-hyung was helping Bok-joo with her romance with his hyung, but then he fell for her. And after she got rejected from his hyung, she also fell for Joon-hyung.
I suddenly want to re-watch it.
And I can't leave without commenting that that ship has sailed, since they're now dating in real life. HA! Double OTP

Goodbye Mr Black.

the drama screwed up, but it gave me Dark Blue Panda vs Black... ?

Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo.

Wang So vs Wang Wook. HOW TO CHOOSE?! ?

Heart to Heart.

doosoo who doesn't know what to do with someone he likes and yiseok who doesn't know he's falling for his patient. though it's kinda funny how hongdo jumps from liking doosoo to liking yiseok ?

Who are you: School 2015.

Love triangle? What love triangle?

Didn't Eun Bi and Tae-kwang live happily ever after?

My very first kdrama was that hot, lovely mess, 'Boys over Flowers, so I'm going to go with Jan-Di, Jun-Pyo, and (sob) Ji-Hu....

Oh my gosh! Mine has to be She was Pretty! I mean come on sweet puppy eyes Simon had had me crying for him every episode. I always hated it when the second lead is always there for the girl yet she doesn't realize it until much later. The poor guy had my heart in pieces each episode.

One more favorite love triangles was in I Remember You-aka. Hello Monster. As my all time favorite show, although the love line was not specifically emphasized as the most important plot line, I love the interactions between Jang Na Ra, Seo In Guk, and Park Bo Gum. When the bromance is strong, (literally, they are brothers) and Jang Na-Ra is scoring 15+ alpha, the highest score in their own task force (in terms of how much Lee rates them on his likability meter), this is definitely a show you can't forget. Remember to say hello to the monster.

So hard to choose a love triangle! I think I'll go with the one where I, an OTP lover, was unsure of who belonged together: Oh My Ghostess. The thing that made this particular love triangle so difficult, was that how was the chef (Jo Jung Seok) to even know which girl he was in love with, when they both inhabited the same body? I believe that he unknowingly cared for Park Bo Young before Kim Seul Gi possessed her, but without Seul Gi's outgoing shenanigans, there is no way Jung Seok would have spent the time with Bo Young to fall in love. And with both girls loving him, when he learned his girlfriend had been possessed for a lot of the time he was falling in love with her, of course he would be concerned with whether he truly loved her or the ghost. Sigh... such drama... I loved it. ^_^

Reply 1988. Never has a love triangle caused such uproar, such contention, such heated arguments as this one. Forget Team Edward or Team Jacob. It was all about Team Taek or Team Jung-hwan. Plus, I may or may not get bragging rights for choosing the winning side of this love triangle. ?
Doek- sun you chose well...

I think it might be Kill me Heal me with the Oh Ri-jin, Cha Do-hyun and Shin Se-gi Triangle. I was so torn with who to pick because they were like different people since they had such contrasting personality even though they're the same person and I just couldn't chose.

Oh man, after seeing Healer at the bottom there I've gotta go with that. But Dream High was truly my first drama love triangle, and I have never second- and third-guessed myself as with that one.

One of my first dramas (probably one that solidified my Kdrama addiction) was My Girl.
Oh, the pain of that second lead shipping was horribly sweet. I have never wavered so much between who I wanted to end up with the girl in my drama watching years as I did with Lee Dong Wook as Seol Gong Chan and Lee Jun Ki as Seo Jung Woo.

My favorite because it was my first, before I had any idea what I was getting myself into: Deokman (Queen Seondeok) / Kim Yu-Shin / Bidam <3

Oohh this is so hard, I have so many. One of my first favorite love triangles was in Flower Boy Ramen Shop. Cha Chi Soo/ Yang Eun Bi/ Choi Kang Hyeok. How devastated I was when she didn't pick Choi Kang Hyeok.
Another one that comes from the Flower Boy Next Door, Enrique/ DokMI/ JinRak, both male contenders were so good for her.

To me it would have to be The Best Love. Never have I ever seen a drama where the lead and 2nd lead are so petty, hilarious and lovable at the same time! Dok Ko Jin is one of my ultimate favorite drama leads but he faced some serious competition from Pil Joo. The way they competed against each other (anybody remember the sneaker auction scene? Or when they were arguing because "just nobody" could not possibly carry the sneakers?) was pure gold. Ae Jung was honestly moved by both guys (and who could blame her?) because they were both swoon worthy. I still get all giddy when Pil Joo gave her all the roses during the contest. I know we all suffer from the 2nd lead syndrome but seeing Pil joo walking down the stairs as he finally gave up still brakes my heart to this date. And now excuse me while I go re-watch this drama for the 37th time.

The Greatest Love
Even though I loved Dokko Jin and Ae-Jung together I couldn't help but root for Pil Joo. He is sweet, caring, wants to make Ae-Jung happy. If only he hadn't been the second lead.?.
I remember the episode when he gives her the three roses and tells her that he likes her.❤️. I thought it was pretty romantic and Pil Joo was demonstrating to Ae-Jung how much she meant for him. I wished in that moment that she would have chosen Pil Joo.??

Jejungwon The Hospital
How could I not cheer for Hwang Jung when he is able to win Yoo Seok-Ran's love. I remember the first scene when he sees her at the market and thinks that she is talking to him but she is not. It was sad because it makes him realize that he who is from the lowest rank, a butcher's son, who is simply known as "Little Dog," will never be able to know someone like her.
But then slowly he begins to fight for his dream of been a doctor and that is when he gets a chance to win Yoo Seok-Ran's heart. And he shows his love to her. He encourages her, respects her, praises her, understand her, saves her life, and that smile that he gives to her, to me is pretty beautiful. To me that smile said it all, how much he loves her.
Yoo Seok-Ran, she also shows her love to Hwang Jung. When he is struggling about to quit his dream she does not let him. She fights a long side him. She is also smart, determine, caring, they are one of my favorite OTP's.?❤️

Beyond the Clouds

Jung Se-Ro and Han Young-Wo love story was to me one of the best. I cared about them so much with each episode that I really wanted them to be happy. Their journey of finding out the truth, of understanding that it was not their fault, that they can be together.
And their last scene together, to me is one of the best endings I have seen. It was satisfying because they have found their happy ending.

One of my favorite triangles is Cha Yoo Jin, Naeil, and Lee Yoon Hoo in Tomorrow's Cantabile. It was a typical love triangle with Yoo Jin being the cold lead who doesn't really appreciate Naeil unless she's in danger of being taken away from him by Yoon Hoo, the sweet second lead. Even though I could tell that Naeil and Yoo Jin would end up together, I couldn't help but sympathize with Yoon Hoo a little bit. This was one of the first triangles I saw and will probably always be one of my favorites (especially since Yoo Jin and Yoon Hoo are played by Joo Won and Park Bo Gum).

For some reason, the love triangle/square between the leads of Shining Inheritance (or Briliant Legacy) comes to mind. This drama will also hold a special place in my heart as that special little drama that could - a low-key drama that steadily gained momentum (and fans by the legions throughout its run), making stars of the leads. And look at where they all are now! All well-recognized household names: Han Hyo-Joo, Lee Seung Gi, Moon Chae Won, and Bae Soo-Bin!

Boys over Flowers stands in my mind after all these years.

Hmm.. favorite love triangle.. way too much to choose from but the first thought I had was Ji-soo because oof this puppy and his love triangles break my heart </3

But after thinking about it, the love triangle in Sungkyunkwan Scandal was my favorite: Kim Yoon-hee, Lee Sun-joon, and Geol-oh. The drama as a whole was really cute and the main couple was cute but GEOL-OH AND HIS HICCUPS :') It was one of the first dramas I've ever watched and also the first time (I think) I've ever experienced such major second lead syndrome. At least he has Goo Yong-ha ;)

Oh la la~~~! Drama love triangle is always my favorite theme!

From Dawson's Creek (Team Pacey!) to Gilmore Girls (Team Jess!)... I especially enjoyed the angst/melodrama love triangles!

My favorites have been:
Recent ones: Jealousy Incarnate, Discovery of Romance, The Innocent Man
Past: Que Sera Sera, Whatever Happened in Bali
TW-drama: Ex-Boyfriend, Meteor Garden
J-drama: Moto Kare

DB family and Maurene, thank you for this giveaway! And what is this "hottest human specimen"? LOL, I can't wait to read it!

Hmm..the best love triangle that comes to my mind is from Best Love! Gu Ae-jung, Dokko Jin and Yoon Pil-joo! Because I usually never fall or care for the second lead, but Pil-joo was just too adorable and lovable! And so good to Ae-jung! Alas, no one can compare to Dokko Jin!

I'm a bookaholic and a bookblogger and I just can wait to read this awesome book. Because who dont like books with the kdrama theme.

OMG I cant just choose one so I'm gonna say Jealousy Incarnate. Because its kind of a struggle they're best friends who likes the same girl. And the girl likes them both. And I really liked the chemestry betwen them, for me was pretty real. Thats why they're my favorite triangle love.

To be honest, I only have few second-lead favorites but one love triangle that pierced my heart is Chef Kang-Bong Sun-Ghost Sun-ae of Oh My Ghostess. My heart broke when Chef realized that he might have fell in love with the ghost and not with Bong-sun. The sadness Bong-sun felt when she realized that possibility as well. But I really cried for Sun-ae because she knows that she will never even get the chance to fight for Chef's love, or any other man's love.

Han Se-joo, Yoo Jin-o, and the dog, Gyeon-woo in Chicago Typewriter ?

I love how half the people here said Healer BECAUSE I THOUGHT HEALER TOO. Hahahaha It's the kind of faux (but just as angsty) love triangle that I think we can all swallow. An all-out heart-wrenching love triangle like MDBTC's Crown Prince-RaOn-YoonSung is too much for my heart so please save everyone's sanity and have a love triangle where everyone is happy in the end Producer-nim~~

In a similar vein, I also liked the love triangle in Lee Jun Ki's Iljimae. That one was total reverse of Healer because he never REEAALLLY reveals his true self to Han Hyo Joo's character but like Young-shin she falls in love with the vigilante first then falls for the commoner guy that he actually is. But ending is so melo :(

Hands down, Answer Me 1988.

What makes a love triangle a favourite might be different from one person to another. I hated love triangle, I hated falling in love with the 2nd lead instead of the 1st, I hated it when the girl chooses the guy I didn't root for, and worst of all, the painnnnn you have to live with the rest of your life for rooting for the wrong couple. I despise that so, so much. And Answer Me 1988 gave me exactly all that. I hated the triangle so much that it scars me for life. But again, that's what love triangle is all about - engaged you to both ends of the triangle, squishing your heart to pieces, and leaving you with 800 years of pain. So despite all the scars, deep inside I have reluctantly acknowledges that the love triangle between Jung Hwan, Taek and Doek Sun was so impactful, and annoyingly stays a favourite of mine.

Ooh.. book as giveaway! Awesome!
My Favourite love triangle is sassy go go. Because I could totally understand why both guys would fall for kang yeon doo. Because she made both of them trust her in some level and inspired them too. Even though it was a youth drama, I think the love triangle was treated in a much more mature way than in most adult dramas. I remember three scenes in particular:
1. When Yeol found out that ha joon also has feelings for her and they wouldn't talk for sometime. When they talk, ha joon would be like its no big deal I can hide my feelings and yeol would be like "how is that not a big deal?!" It just touched me that even though he confessed to her first and she also liked him back, he didn't neglect ha joon's feelings or deem it useless.
2. When ha joon confesses to yeon doo using gummy bears. He would do it to let her know of his feelings but without making her feel awkward or embarassed, it would be like he thanks her for making him feel those things.
3. When in the end ha joon would tease yeon doo to come back to him incase things didn't work out with yeol. It just shows that all three of them has acknowledged their feelings for each other and that nothing has tarnished their friendship.

STRONG WOMAN DO BONG SOON's love triangle of Min-hyuk (Park Hyung-sik), Bong-soon (Park Bo-young) and Gook-doo (Ji Soo)!!!

A Kdrama fangirl's absolute dilemma is to have two guys who are equally talented and good-looking be both pining for the same lead girl. While I was rooting for Min-hyuk and felt him receiving Bong-soon's love was well earned, I was heartbroken at the same time for Gook-doo who would've loved Bong-soon with as much passion and devotion had he been more brave about telling her how he truly felt about her at the time when she still felt the same about him. Both guys competing for Bong-soon's affections was adorable and endearing. This drama made me wish that Gook-doo finds his own happy ending even if we won't be there to see it for ourselves.

My favourite although this will make me look like a psycho was in Gaksital. Call me a sadist but I really loved that his love for the girl he could not have brought out the worst in him but still made him humane enough to believe he could still be good if they ever went back to how they were. After that it would be the Clark Kent Healer then I hear your voice as both the choices we're really great for the heroines involved

drama: dear my friends
love triangle: nan-hee x wan x yeon-ha
love at stake: familial love versus romantic love

dear my friends was just an all around love fest filled with different types of love, but it was ultimately wan and yeon-ha that tugged at my heartstrings.

Ugh!! There's just so many!! But as soon as I saw this post from @girlfriday, 1 particular love triangle came to mind right away:

- "Save Your Last Dance for Me"
Kang Hyun Woo a.k.a. "Chang Ho/ Ji Eun Soo/ Jung Tae Min

The thing that tugs at me the most is when an OTP is able to endure and pass through and experience hardships and still be able to be together in the end, and this drama, and it's OTP and love-triangle, is the PERFECT example of all of this:
Despite losing his memory--twice over, no less-- Hyun Woo ("Chang Ho") still remembered that was Eun Soo who was the one who save his life, literally, and who was the one who risked it all just to search for him, simply wanting to know that he was doing alright, even if it meant that there was a possibility that he had already forgotten her and that a life with him wasn't possible anymore. He is always so open and so raw with her, never hiding anything from her, regardless if it is good or bad. He shares everything with her.
Then on the other side of the triangle, we have Tae Min, who finally finds true love for the first time in his life and wanting to do everything in his power to make her happy, but sadly he fails because he just couldn't fully understand what it truly means to love someone respectfully and whole-heartedly: he was masked by his heart for revenge and wanted the one he loves to only see his 'good' side and ended up hiding things from the girl and eventually, albeit unintentionally, hurting the love of his life.

Definitely Kill Me Heal Me! And even better that drama had two sets of love triangles going for it!: Cha Do-Hyun| Oh Ri-Jin| Shin Se-Gi and Cha Do-Hyun| Oh-Ri-Jin| Oh Ri-On

Thanks so much for the giveaway!!!!

I guess, for an out-of-the-box favorite love triangle, I'll pick a Thai drama for something new titled Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match. Suea|Joo|Ning. It's a super cute romance, and the guy's endless flirting ways just to get the girl although the girl is suffering from extreme pimples during that time. To end this, they're super otp and this is a drama that you'll never be able to resist from watching again.
