I am glad that there are dramas like this in Korea. This is not the usual rags to riches revenge kinda thing or rich guy – poor girl love story. Thank God for the writer and the director of Triple. Their style of storytelling is really something to be excited about. They are not afraid to show storylines that won’t be hugely accepted by others FOR NOW.

This drama is so REAL. And yes, 18 yr old girls do fall in love with older men not just a mere crush but really falls in love and vice versa. Some people just do not like to talk about it but it happens. Nothing wrong with that. If
If Brad Pritt comes up to me now, I’d welcome him with open arms. He is 46 yrd old. Age gap, be damn!

Stepbrother or stepsister a HUGE deal? You gotta be kidding me.

Whether Hwal’s feeling for Haru are truly of a romantic nature still remains to be seen. He obviously still sees her as a little dongseng. However, her avoidance of him in this episode may well be the catalyst for him to feel something different.

i dont see hwal and haru as anything but one-sidedness. and infatuation. she loves him b/c he is her oppa (older brother) but she is also young and is transferring this love into an infatuation.

tho i dont particularly like soo in i also dont hate her. i think we still need to see her character’s personality… it feels like we still dont know her. however, it does bother me that she doesnt just tell hyun tae to go away. and it REALLY bothers me that hyun tae WONT go away. what kind of friend is he?

i hope that soo in and hwal’s past is more explained in future episodes. im super curious as to how they really got together and why they met and why she cheated. sighhh.

and -as always- LOVE The Voice. he is awesome. it sucks that he’s pushing sang hee to change herself (without meaning to, of course). but its realistic and i like that their story plays out so realistically.

also LOVE poongho too. hes too funny. hes really good for haru. but who knowsss where this is all going haha.

I think it’s really hard to really connect to the Su-in character, at least for me. I know we didn’t actually get an explanation as to why she cheated, but the fact is that she did, and she’s trying to get get back with Hwal, which I guess is what shoe would do, but we wouldn’t actually blame him if he chose just to stay away.

As for the Haru/Hwal thing… I’m sorry, I can’t really see it as anything but one-sided, at least on the romantic level. Yes, he does get happy when he gets her to interact with him, but I think it’s really in that older brother kind of thing, when you realize you get to get along with a cool/adorable siblig. He was enjoying being her brother, even if grudgingly, and he feels he didn’t actually do anything wrong to push her away, which is actually the truth – it’s not his fault she likes him. In fact, I’d say she likes him *in spite* of him, when we think how downright awful he was with her at time right there in the beginning. Also, I’d be really disheartened if Poong-ho’s adorableness got him nowhere…

Thanks for the recap as always javabeans! The song matches so well with the episodes.

Argh…super torn.

Haru/ Hwal.
I kinda see why Haru likes him. I mean, he geve the ‘possibility’ for Haru to skate again. He tells her all these ‘theories’ in life that actually help her in some way. Can’t blame her for liking him, he seemed to be a great guardian in a way, something like a mentor material…

Hwal seems to me as a ‘straight, tunnel vision’ sort of guy. What I mean by this is that , err…well he is pretty boring. He’s not that creative that is why he is like the logistics/ AE of their team. I think Haru appears to him as a pleasant distraction, she is like a rainbow in his basically straight/tunnel vision life.

We don’t know what made him love his wife in the first place so I can’t really comment on that.

Poong Oh
He is adorable! LOL! At first I thought he was kinda stupid and a little stuck up but now I am so in love with him!

He is everything Haru needs I think. He is as strong as a rock (despite looking like a fool sometimes), and can stand Haru in her emotional swings. He keeps Haru on track when she loses focus on her goal. He is patient with her and always makes her laugh.

I still can’t decide who to root for. Sigh…hope I get to watch epi 10 already.
