What To Watch When You Want A Love Polygon
-
1. Go Ho's Starry Night
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
Go Ho's Starry Night - this drama is short and so very cute. At the height of the plot, there are 4-5 men at work competing for the FL's attention. Each man is different, from young and handsome to older and rich. Each has a different relationship with her and reasons for why they should be together. The characters are done well; each has a personality and don't just exist to as supporting cast. The FL's interaction with them supports her character growth as she moves into the next phase of her life. It's a cute story with great communication between all the characters. - u/caninedesign
Go Ho's Starry Night - FL is liked by three male leads if I'm not wrong and it's a short but cute and hilarious drama. Perfect to binge watch if you don't have enough time but want to watch something light and funny. - u/Fatooz

2. Mr. Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Mr. Sunshine - This historical drama involves a love polygon because there are 5 characters who are connected to each other from their experiences together. This drama would be a good watch for those who are interested in how a love polygon would play out. - u/dramafan1
Mr. Sunshine - All the three male leads like the FL. It's a historical drama which is quite dark and tragic but it's a must watch for it's writing, direction, soundtrack, acting and it's cast. - u/Fatooz

3. Do You Like Brahms?
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Do You Like Brahms? - There are too many love triangles in this one. This is a slow burn romance which is perfect to watch in the rainy season, it's also really calm. The character growth of the FL is the best part of this drama and it's relatable to some extent. Highly recommend it for the chemistry, soundtrack and cinematography. - u/Fatooz
Do You Like Brahms? had one the weirdest love hexagons I've ever watched. If won't tell you how it ends, but the amount of labor they went into accomplishing extremely little was a surprise. Slow Burn doesn't do it justice when most of the time was spent watching the flames flicker and go out. - u/GiraffeWC

4. Summer Guys
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
Summer Guys - this is a short kdrama with the FL as the owner of a beachside bar. She has three young men working for her and they all have a crush on her at some point. Each guy has his own backstory and motivation, which is refreshing, and different than your typical second lead that only exists to create conflicts for the main lead. Anyway, the four of them work together to save the bar which is located right next to a resort. - u/caninedesign

5. L'affetto reale
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
I think we can say that The Kings Affection was a love pentagon (hexagon if we include the prince's bodyguard because i refuse to believe that FL wasn't atracted to him) but almost everyone was in love with the main character and i'm 100% sure that no one is completely straight in that kdrama. In this drama we can see the romance between the main characters but there are multiple characters in love with the main leads. We have the Queen that's in love with the King (that's actually a woman), the second lead is in love with the King because he knows he's actually a woman, there's this girl from a noble family whose father has a high position in the royal court that is in love with ML so we can say there's a love pentagon. - u/Danidrama98

6. Boys Over Flowers
Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes
Boys Over Flowers - ML, SML like the FL; FL, SFL like the ML. There's another love triangle where one of the side characters likes another girl and the FL's best friend likes this side character. It's your classic KDrama with over-the-top acting and story but it worth the watch if you're into love triangles or the like. - u/Fatooz

7. Amanti della Luna: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo - How can anyone forget this drama when talking about love polygons. Every other male lead liked the FL in this drama, at least I can remember 4 men who liked the FL here. It's a good historical drama which is all fun in the first half and a bit tragic in the second half. The chemistry between the FL and the entire other cast was great and the soundtrack is amazing too! - u/Fatooz
