I went into this show thinking this was a hope and dreams show about a young skater. It started off great in the first few episodes. They were sticking to the skating and development of her skill. Then the show took a dark turn into the abyss of darkness. You have best friend of husband going after his wife. You have 18 year old FL going after the husband. It became so twisted I finally had to turn off the show and go watch a normal Kdrama I watched before to try to get this show off my mind. Well that didn't work because I am writing a review just to blow some steam. So anybody who thinks they are going to watch a nice show about the struggles of a young ice skater. Then run away from this show because the writer and director took this to a new level of weirdness.

High Expectation Ruined It
aria-ariana201219 October 2013
This drama has an incredible line up of actors which is why I think created a high expectation from viewers. Plus, the director is the same one who directed Coffee Prince.
Given Coffee Prince was such a hit, I was expecting Triple to be about the same or much better.
Min Hyo Rin, even though was rookie at the time, gave an impressive performance as Lee Haru,a strong-hearted girl who dreams to become a figure skater. She was really adorable being a girl who fall in love with Shin Hwal, her (ex) step-brother.
Shin Hwal played by Lee Jung Jae is undeniably perfect. To be honest, his acting has saved most of the story and script.
Other actors, had played their roles real well, in my opinion but Hana Lee's role as estranged wife of Shin Hwal has unfortunately drain my energy while watching. Her character is so lifeless even with all the problems she had going.
Couldn't help but make the comparison between Triple and Coffee Prince. My take is that there's too many depressing moments and not much breather in between. Coffee Prince on the other hand, take one problem at a time and give viewers a time to smile before the next tears.
Overall, I gave it an 8 because the acting performance was sort of brilliant and the story was not totally hopeless.
