Korean Drama with love triangles?

I've recently discovered Korean dramas, and I'm completely hooked! I started with "Boys Over Flowers," which I finished last week, and now I've moved on to "Flower Boy Next Door." Both had such captivating love triangles. Can anyone recommend similar dramas with engaging love triangle storylines? Thanks so much! 😊

Reading the book instead of watching the movie is the ultimate way to see what the writer meant. Reading uses your imagination, hones your reading skills, and can transform your vocabulary

Just an FYI: The vast majority of K-drama has love triangles. I have yet to see one that DIDN’T have a love triangle – and that includes historical ones, even those based on actual people.
