I'm over here looking at my screen like this =OOO every time I watch this show and THIS is what these dorks do behind the scenes. =| Lol.





Who called it? In the first post someone mentioned Junghee going to Yangha and then BAM there it went. I don't want that. I do not want that. No. I'm not even mad at Youngdal for hurting Junghee's feelings because he HAD to. Honestly, I'm happy that for ONCE he listened to what people were telling him. He calmed down, listened, and she was released harm free. Into the wrong arms, of course, but hopefully I can deal with my feelings about that in the coming episodes...lol.

The ending of episode 18. I prayed to Krisus for Shinhye to be her Curious Georgina self and go poke around for some information, and it happened. I mean my happiness was ridiculous...lol. Actually I was hoping for Yangha to be the one to go poking around since his Chairman Yoon Taejoon demoted him. He doesn't even know that he's setting Yangha up to take him down. By cutting him off, he's pissed him off....and even worse, hurt his feelings. And we see how Yangha goes on when he's in his feelings. Dude, I need it be Monday and Tuesday yesterday.

I skipped over some things, but the mentioned were the most important things for me in the episode. I'm not going to acknowledge Yangha doing underhanded business because grass is green, Jonghyun is hot, etc, etc. He does these things. What else is new?

Thanks for the post, OP. I cannot find anywhere else to spazz about my love for Triangle, lol.

Wow, the episodes lately have been so tear-jerking. Truly, the fight is no longer about money or power, it's truly emotional from now on. And the cliffhanger at the end of episode 18 is just like.... WTFISH. The brothers are finally coming together but they just had to do that when Yangha is getting more irritating -______-

I just dislike the fact that there are too many betrayals going on that it feels as if the writers are trying to take a short cut to resolve a lot of issues.

Anyway, can't wait to read everyone's reviews on this week's episode :)

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I still have hope...I think Junghee FINALLY realizes what Young Dal has been saying about the danger...she isn't going to Yang Ha

Yang Ha is still pathetic in eyes...all your success was based on stealing Young Dal's work....

Dong Soo having a WTF moment over Yang Ha being Dong Woo LOL

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

He seriously had the best WTF look. I savored it. XDD

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

I mean some awesome soul HAD to have made a gifset of that moment. I waited 18 episodes for that ONE facial expression....lol.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

I was LIVID as I was watching episode 18 ngl.

I mean, I understand that Youngdal was doing it to keep her safe but j f c, IF YOU'RE GONNA BREAK HER HEART, YOU COULD AT LEAST GO AND APOLOGIZE ONCE YOU SEE SHE'S SAFE. Like, going to a bar and angsting solves NOTHING, especially with Yangha stepping right into your stop after he "promised" that he wouldn't obsess over Junghee anymore.

That was some promise -_(\

I know he's trying to be noble and shit to keep her safe, but once everything is said and done, he will have broken her heart and trust so much that there's no chance of getting back with her. Or rather there SHOULD be no chance of getting back with her since she's strong and independent (though has questionable sympathies I.E. Yangha in general) buuuut this is a kdrama so if Youngdal's alive by the end of it all (I'm starting to fear for him or Dongsoo dying in some sacrifice for the other bros) the two of them will probably get back together and rule the casino or something like that.

Also, another annoying thing is that after Youngdal called Yangha out about using underhanded methods to beat him/send him to jail, how was he and his little posse not more careful about the whole Macau thing?? I really liked how the writer was slowly making Youngdal smarter and more aware, but that whole plot point bugged me :/

Regardless, I'm excited for next week because AHHH PEOPLE KNOW THE THREE ARE BROTHERS and I really hope that Yangha finds out this week and has the epic breakdown that we all should want tbh. Also maybe we'll finally find out the mysterious backer of Jung Madame's casino??? Maybe?? I'm really starting to think that that is something we'll never find out lmao :|

me too me too!!

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

It's seriously one of the things that bugs me so much!!! I really want to know lol I'm guessing that it's someone from Macau since that's the only other city that seems to exist in the drama besides Seoul and Sabuk.

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

I think is gonna be, someone the we already know

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

for a while I thought that it might be Dongsoo since Jung Madame wasn't caught by the police as much and was let go easily, but then when Dongsoo asked Youngdal for help learning to play/gamble in prison, my theory died T_T

I don't know, I think he's trying to push her away for good. As in, he doesn't want her to forgive him because he feels like shit for what he said to her.

As long as she doesn't end up with Yangha... UGH. I hate him.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

I get that, but he was on such a good streak about being honest and open to her about everything and well, yeah I guess that he's told her to just forget about him multiple times but sljsdhaksjd BREAKING HER HEART LIKE THAT AND (seemingly) JUST LEAVING IT LIKE THAT IS AN AWFUL IDEA. Youngdal should realize that ;(

If she ends up with Yangha after everything..........i will just....UGH. THIS DRAMA IS SO FRUSTRATING

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

I hate when the dude make the noble thing for love, but oh well, I like Yangha he is gonna freak out when someone tell him or will he find out?

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Maaaaan I'm at the edge of my seat. Honestly, I think YoungDal handled the kidnapping well. I'm glad he listened to his people. At the same time, I completely feel for and understand why Junghee felt so hurt. That must have been horrible to hear, especially not knowing what was really going on. I don't see Youngdal staying away to keep her safe (as he was keeping his distance beforehand). I think he is staying away now, because it seems like a situation that can never be excused. Even if Junghee would forgive him, I don't think he wants that forgiveness, because he can't forgive himself for not going to her.

What disgusted me were the comments on Viki. It was just a slew of hate at Junghee for daring to feel hurt. They were calling her stupid, or a loose girl because she went to Yangha . I just had to smh and remember logic does not apply to blind Jae followers. Junghee has seriously been one of themost down to earth, relatable female characters in a kdrama to date.

Also I absolutely loved how psychologist gf was all like " boo, I think your bro was adopted by your enemy."

and he was like " Nah folk, you wrong. That'd be dumb."

And she gave him that look lik e" Dumb ad Youngdal being your brother dumb, or...?"

And then she told that lie like she knew 100% Yangha was his little brother, but it's ok because she's right anyway. XD Big bro's face at the end though- priceless. I love this drama so much. I hope they keep up this good plot to the end. If they do me like Rooftop Prince, I'll be beside myself.

Mte. I was really surprised by that response. Logically, it would make sense for her to feel hurt and she doesn't know what's really going on either makes it even worse. If she still follows YoungDal blindly after that happen incident, I would probably flip a table. I think people have to remember the fact that she went to Yangha, does not necessarily mean she is interested in him romantically. She wants to show gratitude for the man that saved her life. It wouldn't make sense for her to give him the cold shoulder after he rescued her.

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Aoiiiiii!!! Sorry. He's not even my favorite member, but he looks so handsome in your icon<3

But yes, I'm not sure she's interested in him romantically either. He saved her life. I think this is the perfect opportunity for Yangha to get over her and finally be able to move on to another woman, AND be able to get along with his brothers after the big reveal.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

awwww you didn't like the end of Rooftop Prince?? I think they did a good job with it considering that (uh I guess spoilers for those who haven't watched, though the drama's been out for two years lol) they went for the sadder, more realistic ending of them not being together since he WAS a crown prince after all ;;

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The ending wasn't horrible, but it felt like...it was impossible to be satisfied with the ending with the way everything was built up. There was too much emphasis on the prince and not his reincarnation, so it wasn't as satisfying that she would get to be with that version of him. :/

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Also I absolutely loved how psychologist gf was all like " boo, I think your bro was adopted by your enemy."

and he was like " Nah folk, you wrong. That'd be dumb."

I literally hit the floor with this interpretation. By the ending of "Nah folk" I was on my knees...lol.

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

XD

[inori88.livejournal.com]

I like the way you interpret the whole thing. I thought he always keeps his distance because he is somehow afraid of JH getting hurt by his enemies, but now that you mention that he might be ashamed (?) for what he did, I would also make sense... he always keeps his distance from her because he feels he is not good enough, and now after he behaves in such a way when he hurts her so much... who knows, it could be that as well

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he seems like such a stand-up guy when it comes to Junghee, that I can't help but think that. Time will tell though. ~_~

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

i just can't wait for the next episode. i need to find out how Young Dal and Yang Ha will handle the news that they are brothers when they loathe each other so much.

[inori88.livejournal.com]

I enjoy triangle more than I like to admit but I was sigly disappointed about episode 18.
Not because is not believable that YD knowing the kind of danger it represent for JH to be associated with him will push her away... not because JH found comfort in YH arms... because I find those things very plausible and realistic
But because Triangle fell in Cliche territory. Was it necessary?
Anyway, I can't wait for next episode to see how DS will interact with his newfound baby brother who happens to be a pain in the ass.

[pepper.livejournal.com]

I just finished watching episode 18. God, I dislike Yangha so much, he is an ass who takes credit for doing things he doesn't do on his own. Ugh. I hope he'll soon realize that Junghee isn't romantically interested in him... Because that is what I get from her actions towards him, I think. She is just being grateful towards him for "saving" her from the kidnappers right?

Anyway, I think what Youngdal did was the right thing. Some people are angry he didn't apologize or explained his actions later on, but I think he is trying to push Junghee away fro good, now that he knows she'll be in danger as long as she stays by his side. So that's good.

I can't wait to see what will happen now that Dongsoo knows fucking Yanha is their lil lost brother.
I dislike Shinhye's character so much. How does she always know everything? Its annoying.

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Damn I really need to catch up D: screw you, uni

[atopworld.livejournal.com]
