What is this potential awesome and/or hot mess coming up?!? MBC has finally scheduled the follow up drama to its successful sageuk Empress Ki and it will not be Dae Jang Geum 2 (Was anyone holding their breath for this? Ever?) or Unprecedented. Instead it’s a serious melodrama tentatively called Triangle about three brothers separated in childhood who grow up to be at odds with one another. It’s the cast that almost made me tip over in disbelief – the three brothers will be played by Lee Bum Soo, Song Seung Heon, and Im Shi Wan of ZE:A. Yes, two of these are not like the other, but aside from that it will reunite Lee Bum Soo and Song Seung Heon from their last MBC outing together which remains one of the most unintentionally hilarious dramas of all time Dr. Jin. I swear that drama was only cast because Song Seung Heon couldn’t believe anyone would offer him a sageuk lead and jumped on it, and then Lee Bum Soo figured he could have an enjoyable 10 weeks hanging out on the same set as his very good friend Song Seung Heon. The viewers lost but those two made out like bandits because all the BTS pictures of them goofing off on set and chilling together were adorable and precious. What’s even more hilarious about this casting? Both Lee Bum Soo and Song Seung Heon have headlined their very own epic long K-drama about long lost brothers who end up at odds with each other. Anyone remember East of Eden. Hello? Song Seung Heon grows up with fake brother Yeon Jung Hoon and both hate real brother Park Hae Jin. Everyone has to remember Giant? Yes? Lee Gang Mo and Lee Sung Mo and their tearful reunion by the river. C’mon, putting Lee Bum Soo and Song Seung Heon in a lost brothers drama is something both can do blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs. This is going to be awesome even if it goes down in flames. I would swap out Im Shi Wan in an instant but as long as he doesn’t suck worse than Song Seung Heon then it’ll be fine. The two leading ladies in discussion are Lee Mi Yeon and Go Ara. This will tickle your giggles even more – oldest brother is a cop, second brother is a gang leader, and youngest brother grew up in a wealthy family. Ahahaha, let’s toss every birth secret cliche into the mix from the get go.
Directing will be the PD behind Swallow the Sun, Poseidon, All In, and H.I.T. – which means gangsters, police, and procedural stuff is his forte. Reuniting with the PD is the screenwriter who did Swallow the Sun, and who also wrote Jumong, Midas, Gu Am Heo Joon, and Lights and Shadows. Triangle is schedule to premiere when Empress Ki ends in May. I am so checking this out!

song seung heon is my first love korean actor, i saw him first at autumn in my heart. oh both my fave guys dohh my heart
will look forward watching this drama, thanks for the info.
So Lee Mi Yeon will be with Lee Bum Soo and Go Ara with Im Si Wan?
But regardless of casting, I'm totally up for bromance any day of the week/month/year.
What happened to im si wan's face!?"yikes too much ps!!
I honestly think that's just a bad photo. He looks the same in all other photos elsewhere!
lol he's already too pretty. i doubt it was PS. just too much makeup and bad angle.
Oh! I'll 100% watch this one! I can't believe I'm the one who said I will not check any SSH drama again after his last two dramas! But I'm here for the story, which seems interesting. Please writer-nim please make this one a good drama!
Sorry but this is going to be cliche and bad.
Lee Bum Soo has this knack of picking bad project after a good one. Dr. Jin,Iris2 after History of Salaryman. Now this after PMAI. Is he under debt? 5 dramas in 2 and half years.
In Noonas Over flowers Lee Me yeon and Kim Hee Ae told something about being hard to get a female leading role at the age of 40. I think Lee Bum Soo's clock is ticking too... He is 44 or 45 Korean age... he has barely 5 years to act as a leading man. I think he tries almost everything he can before time runs up on him. I don't think that a role of a father or secondary villain is payed better than a leading role. I believe he is mature enough to want to have enough money to send his kids to college and a few more if necessary.
Dramas bring scraps in comparison to movies, so if he's raising the college funds, he needs to find a better and less painful way. :P
But I agree that dramas are more obsessed with age, so while he will be able to get central roles in movies when older, he only has a few good drama-years left.
Also, 'Dr. Jin' was based on a nice series and 'IRIS2' sounded exciting. Both sucked, so as bad as this sounds, let's wait and see. We're used to the tropes, but we're not psychic. Still, if it will suck, it better suck as wonderfully as 'Dr. Jin'. At least give us a good makjang comedy.
Oh hell yeah - I'm checking this out! Hopefully it will turn out to be good drama, but if its only good for snarkbait, then I'll laugh/cry with everyone else.
Either way, more Lee Bum Soo is never a bad thing!
Does the writer watch a Hindi movie? This drama plot remind me of the old Bollywood Movie titled Amar, Akhbar, Anthony starring by Amitabh Batchan. Bout 3 brothers separated and they also different religion. This sure be crackstatic.
Soooo does SSH have a special contract with MBC? LOL He doesn't do dramas with other channels.
Yeah, I wonder about that too. Not that I mind as long as I don't see him on my tv.. but then, this is Lee Bum Soo that I want to see more.
Ummmm wow :D I wish Siwon was the third brother but that's asking too much lol. Can't wait :) hooray
