Triangle Details

The series sets up a strong second-lead presence early, develops both men’s feelings in depth, and intentionally fuels sympathy for both sides. The FL clearly chooses the 1ML, but the 2ML’s emotional arc remains significant.

My Notes / Opinions

I dropped this pretty late because I already knew the romance ending was going to be annoying. The love triangle hype online killed my interest, the OTP didn’t grab me enough to keep me invested, and the whole “ending sucks for romance” thing just made me stop caring.
