I tend to watch pretty much every drama that is being subbed at the time. I'm just one of those people. Usually have at least six going at once. Lately it's been with my besties Lizabreff and Curdy, which is fun. I'm a finisher, so I will usually just finish all of them no matter what. Most of that time it's not too bad either, some better than others. It's not often that you get a feast of what appears to be the good ones.
It usually happens once a year, at the start of summer vacation. Normally the good dramas with be scattered around all year, but right as school gets out, I swear they cram as many exciting, good dramas together at once so that we don't even know how we're going to finish all of them. It happens, rarely, but it's happening to me right now.

Jung Hwan Syndrome: Why I'm Done With Love Triangles
I've never actually liked love triangles. Why would I like that level of uncertainty in a show that I came to see a romance in? Love triangles aren't romance, they are lame. I suppose I tolerated them as a necessary evil in all K-dramas, but there are different types of love triangles.
The kind that is most tolerable for me is the one where even though there is a second male lead, you know that he never really had a chance and that he really isn't an issue, but is a bit annoying or makes the male lead actually act instead of being a scaredy cat bum or whatever. The type I hate the most is the one who for some reason gets way too much screen time and makes the love story plot weak and disconnected. I'm all about a reasonable build and flow that makes sense and allows me to build the right kind of feels instead of last minute forcing them down my throat. Does this make it a little formulaic? Maybe, but at least I am seeing the romance I want blossoming.
