Triple is officially awesome

…and it hasn’t even aired yet!

That’s it. Triple has just shot up — over Song Hye-gyo and Hyun Bin, over the Korean Hana Yori Dango — as my new most anticipated drama. Because on top of casting Lee Seon-kyun, then following with Yoon Kye-sang, they’ve now rounded out their lead trio with…

Kang Ji-hwan!

I don’t know if I could’ve picked a dreamier ideal dream lineup. Sure, there are a few other actors I’d put in my “top picks” bag, but these three are at the top of the list of those still doing dramas.

And lest I sound like a hormonally driven fangirl (which, hey, don’t judge), all three are actually — gasp! — good actors.

They all bring a different kind of energy, which should be interesting to see together. Kang Ji-hwan has done both slapstick and tearjerker — he can be goofy and comically spot-on, but turn on a dime into heart-wrenchingly intense. Lee Seon-kyun has spent much of his recent career playing to type as the reserved, thoughtful introvert. And Yoon Kye-sang can be both outrageous and wonderfully emotive.

Kang Ji-hwan will take on the role of a short-track speed skater (upgrade!), while Yoon Kye-sang and Lee Seon-kyun are ad-agency execs. With the three male stars being so much older than young newbie actress Min Hyo-rin, who barely registers a blip on the radar in comparison, I’m starting to think (hope?) that the tone of Triple won’t skew quite as young (read: green and awkward) as previously feared.

Now we can only wait to see what Coffee Prince producer/director Lee Yoon-jung whips up. For the first time, I look on Triple without dread.

Triple is really the golden triangle now with KJH on board...
I do wish they would cast at least 1 female lead as dynamic as a our male leads...
Are they afraid that if they cast a girl of equal caliber in looks and talent us commoners won't be able to relate? Come on...

Thanks for the update... can't wait to see this... KJH is definitely the trump card...

WHY MUST MIN WHOEVER BE THE LEAD ACTRESS...... I'm seriously crying a river right now. Shouldn't she be in some daily drama first or something? If she messes this up, I will KILL I tell ya.

....this must be the most bittersweet kdrama news I've heard all year. :/

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my reaction to the news. :)

For those of you who don't know who Min Hyo-rin is: She's a new pop/ballad singer (launched with one of those gimmicky "mysterious" poster marketing campaigns last year) who's known for her "high-class nose." She debuted in 2006 as a model. She's done a few CFs and MVs, but has no acting credits.

From the recent Chuseok holiday:

Oh wow! I absolutely adore these three guys! :) Now that makes Triple much more watchable. But, in all honesty, I still look forward to Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin much more! I'm a die hard fan of these two. :D

Thanks for the news!

Thanks for sharing!

After so many discouraging updates for this drama I was going to completely ignore, but now I am really looking forward to it. Triple definitely boasts a nice male cast. But I hope the female cast will complement well or the drama will feel unbalanced. Ya know, you can't have 3 guys going after 1 girl or something like that. I'm sure that's not the plot; nevertheless, I'm still dubious over Min Hyorin as the female lead. Oh well, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. =)

Holy cow, for real?!
They should just do away with the female lead and have a triangle with the guys :D

@ choram: "If she messes this up, I will KILL I tell ya. "

you said it sister. I hope they seriously re-think this. I can only trust that the Coffee Prince Pd knows whats she's doing casting Min Hyo-Rin. Because it would seriously suck if she can't keep up with those three HOT men!!

I still don't get what's the big deal with her nose ..it looks fake, but it's not? Is that it? If not, I don't get it then. It looks really awkward to me.

"her nose ..it looks fake, but it’s not?"

If they ever need to do a K-drama version of Bewitched, they should cast her nose. That's a nose of luxury!

Maybe it IS possible 2 of the 3 guys will end up together. After all, Coffee Prince had the gay issue in the story, although it is a "fake" one. And also why would there be 3 guys for 1 girl? Usually there's only 2 for 1. Unless they add another female character...

Yeah, I need to get on this dorama cos I'm a fan of the YKS and the other actors are A++++ I've been sooo lazy about getting stuff, but I will try, try to be on top of stuff <3

I never got the luxury nose craze but my dad supposedly has the luxury nose going on, to the point where people either assume he's mixed or ask if he got surgery at some point. My dad is so old school conservative, and frankly too poor in his youth, to have done anything, so it cracks me up.

OMG OMG This? is awesome! It's gone straight to the top of my to-watch list. I'll probably end up watching it as it's aired rather than wait till the drama's over. Ah, the first drama that'd be following with you guys. *g* *rubs hands in anticipation*

And I'll look forward to your recaps, javabeans! *g*

I thought the female lead looked familiar and recognized from her MV, she's cute as a singer, not so sure about her acting abilities though.
This is one of MV's, if you're curious, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYEvTnBwAr4 (it's cute but IMHO a little bit annoying) and then there's her other MV which I think shows her singing abilites much better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqrNZ7lFZj4&feature=related

Other than that though, I can't wait until the drama shows up! Ooooh drooling over the awesome triple cast! :D

"Maybe it IS possible 2 of the 3 guys will end up together. "

I think Lee Soo Gyun and Kang Ji Hwan will fall in love. They complete each other. Besides, the idea of the Lee Soo Gyun and Yoon Kye Sang characters hooking up -- two people in MARKETING falling in love, just makes me physically ill. Yoon Kye Sang and Luxury Nose make a cute couple.

Made a mistake in the casting by putting
Min Hyo Ri in there.

I mean everybody in Korea calls her the Deuk Po Jab
which means somebody who nobody cares about.
