Triple

I've finished watching Triple a week ago. In my humble opinion the storyline is OK. About the cast, I don't know most of the cast except for Lee Seon Gyun (Coffee Prince).I decided to watch this drama because of the director. It is the same director who direct Coffee Prince. Since Coffee Prince was a big hit I really excited to watch her next project. Besides that, the main subject of the drama also makes me feel like I want to watch this drama. The story is about ice skating. If I have to rate this drama, I would rate it as 3/5. Here is the short synopsis of the drama.


"This drama is about a female figure skater, Lee Haru, who is hoping to make it big. Her life gets complicated when she reunites with her step-brother, Shin Hwal, after many years of being separated. Hwal's father and Haru's mother died tragically in a car accident. Hwal and his friends; Hae Yoon, Hyun Tae, and Sang Hee all work at the same ad agency. While Haru is trying to make her dreams come true, she unintentionally brings together her skating coach, Choi Soo In, and Hwal together. Haru starts developing feelings for Hwal but things are complicated further as Soo In is her brother's estranged wife."(credit to : Drama wiki)

The cast :

* Min Hyo Rin as Lee Ha Ru*

Ha Ru is a figure skating athlete. Upon her mother's remarriage when Ha Ru was 6, she became stepsiblings with Hwal. Upon their parents' deaths in a car accident when she was 13, Ha Ru was separated from Hwal to go live with her birth father. Due to her cheerful personality and mature character, she keeps her pain regarding her mother and stepfather's deaths to herself. Skates become Ha Ru's friend and source of refuge (comfort). Ha Ru makes up her mind to pursue skating seriously and takes off for Seoul to fulfill her dreams. There, she ends up going to her older stepbrother's house where surprises are in store.

*Lee Jung Jae as Shin Hwal*

Hwal is the Account Executive at Korea Creative. In order to win, he's willing to bypass laws, morals, and systems. He's quick to see the strengths and weaknesses of everyone, and just as quick to express them. Hence, he unintentionally hurts other people's feelings with his lack of social skills. Although he initially tries to ignore his stepsister, she remains on his mind and he can't help but to take care of her. Ha Ru and his friends, Hae Yoon and Hyun Tae, help Hwal

* Lee Seon Gyun as Cho Hye Yoon*

Hae Yoon is the advertising agency's Creative Director. He is simple-minded, yet full of good sense. In general, Hae Yoon is warm, respectful, and well-mannered. Although he has the excellent aesthetic sense (”eye for beauty”) required for his job, he can compromise when necessary. His anger sometimes explodes violently due to his short temper. Uncomfortable with seeing people in bad or awkward relations, Hae Yoon does his best to help resolve the situation and make peace.

* Yoon Kye Sang as Jang Hyun Tae*

Hyun Tae is the Copywriter at Korea Creative - an extremely talented one at that. Although he seems easygoing and simple, he actually has a deep understanding. He has excellent intuition regarding people and objects. With his good looks, he can throw on anything and still look impressive. Hyun Tae is often the life of the party and appears to adapt to any atmosphere; however, he works really hard [to do so]. Hyun Tae excels at his job and is very handy in fixing machines.

* Lee Ha Na as Choi Su In*

Soo In is a figure skating coach who is self-centered yet has a childlike purity. In general, she's full of laughter and love; in work, she's stern, focused, and scrupulous. Since youth, Soo In has had an industrious and moderate lifestyle; hence, she's good at managing herself. From her past experiences with victory and defeat, she has built up strong perseverance and will.

* Kim Hee as Kang Sang Hee *

Sang Hee stands out in a crowd with her bright energy. She's highly sociable and has the gift of listening well to others and matching their moods. Whenever and wherever somebody needs help, she turns up to help. Although Sang Hee doesn't express her feelings much, she doesn't hesitate in acting as her heart leads. She's very free, despite being sort of a “yes-woman”. She's been friends with Hwal, Hae Yoon, and Hyun Tae for 17 years
