Triangle Episode 8 Summary

Can't decide if Triangle is considered exciting this week.
Brief Summary :Incident of Passport Forgery
Brief Summary :Incident of Passport Forgery
「#08 偽造パスポート事件」
Goda explained what happened 25years ago to Sachi.
On day of murder, young Goda on way home had saw young Sachi standing by the waters alone. As he had to meet Akimoto, he decided to go home first. Yet on way back along the same spot, he was concerned about Sachi standing there alone and so he went down to investigate, hence stumbling into the dead Sachi. He didnt know she was dead and he went to shake her, thus his hands stained with her blood. Just as he was wondering what to do, he heard a man's voice behind him, asking him not to turn around or he will be killed. Scared out of his wits, he picked up his tinbox and ran for his life not looking back. At home, he had told his elder brother as he helped to wash his hands. His elder brother told him to keep silence about what he saw so not to draw the killer's attention. However, Goda was concern if the murderer will come after him. His elder brother then told him to wait for 15years till the statue of limit is over, and the charges cannot be filed againist the killer, then Goda will be safe.
Goda however told Sachi that he will never run again and he will definitely help to capture the person who killed Shimano.
During his seach, Goda concluded that the killer has to be someone he knew. He suspected it was Kurosaki's dad who had boarded the plane. However as the checking of passenger list revealed, his colleague was shock to find his own name on the passenger list even though he never left japan. However, Goda said he believed in no one and immediately suspected his colleague. Kurosaki chided Goda at his distrust and to rem only with trust can he get to the bottom of the truth. Goda retorted much that he like but he could trust no one and left. Wit the picture he took of his colleague and met up with Akimoto if he recognised his colleague as in shanghai and if he knew Sachie's dad. His exclassmate said sachi dad was in export business so that had got accquainted thru work. then he asked if Goda is going to suspect him next like he did with everyone else? he said Goda had changed from the carefree happy boy he use to be. With that Akimoto left.
Meanwhile, Koruosaki proved his dad alibi to be in Japan and his colleage was playing Pachinco. Privately, Goda colleague told him that while it is uncommon for fake passport to pass imgiation in japan, however, if there has been cases before, and with a call to someone in power, a fake passport can be used. He then revealed that Sachie dad's company had once been charged for such passport forgery and Kurosaki's dad had been on the case. It appeared they remained in contact. The idea of faking his name is likely to create and throw suspicions on him, thus creating discord between Goda and the team. He then added which is exactly what is happening now.
On the otherhand, Kurosaki dad also met up with Goda sister and was spotted by him. At home, He told off his sister not to meet with the father anymore and the sister walked off in anger without revealing the conversation details.

Sachi found out from his mum about his dad unglory past and called to tell Goda about the link between Kurosaki dad and her adopted dad. Goda then realised his mistake about his accusation and called to apologised. His colleague hung up the phone after his apology without saying a word. At the same time, Kurosaki's dad appeared before GodaWednesday, February 18, 2009
Triangle Episode 7 brief summary
After watching Triangle ep07, I was actually quite sad. I felt soo sorry for Shimano now especially after Goda read his last letter to his sister. I nearly want to cry, thinking if I am Sachi reading that. I love how this drama is able to completely manipulate my feelings towards each character, from being wary of them to a complete turn around of feeling sorry for them.
The story of their past. Apparently Shimano and Sachi's birth mother abandon Shimano in shanghai and left Sachi in Osaka orphanage. When Sachi was young, Shimano went to Japan to look for his sister and swore to himself he would do everything to bring her back one day. Hence even when he was struggling alone after his stepparents died, Sachi was his fuel of motivation, so that he can appear before her one day as a rich man to help his sister. He revealed that if he had not let go of her hands back then, perhaps then they would have been able to also laugh, banter and quarrel like any other siblings. Lastly, he shared that he was the one who left the character on the yellow blanket, and hence he was the one who had named her.
Before the two could know each other better, Poor Shimano was murdered but staged as a sucide, apparently the target was suppose to be Goda. However the shanghai police ruled the case as sucide and Goda had no recourse but through his FBI links, he discovered the drugs that killed Shimano was strictly only available in Japan. Hence someone had smuggled the drug into shanghai, called the hotel reception to confirm Goda's room, snuck in and laced the glass with poison. Poor Shimano ended up dead because Goda offered his room to him with intentions to protect Shimano from other attackers (due to business dealing).
Next episode 08 will be quite exciting. The ending of epsiode 07, Goda finally told Sachi the truth about what happened 25years ago, that he was actually the first on the scene. He saw a fallen Sachi and thinking she is playing, he shook her and hence his hands are covered with her blood. Goda said he is going to reveal why he had waited for the limit of statue to pass. Meanwhile Goda's friend also told the Kuro and his dad that he had saw the young Goda fleeing from the scene of crime.

Triangle Ep06
Just finished watching Triangle Ep06...the drama is getting better and better!!!!!! I take back what I said earlier in ep 2 review about it not being as riveting as I hoped. The suspense and mystery is building up and killing me!!!!!! So many questions!!!
Now that Shindo is killed off by Goda's friend...and confirmed he isnt the killer.... Apparently on the day of murder, he was busy bonking Sachie's mum at her home, which was why little Sachie ran off from home after seeing his shoe. I had guessed Shindo wasnt the real deal but I just didnt see it coming for Goda's friend to accidentally kill Shindo.
We now shift our attention to Kuroki's dad and Sachie's dad.... What else is Sachie's mum hiding? Since she has regained all her memory, she told the dad that she has confess her love affair with her ex-lover Shindo to Sachi but she did not reveal the dad's secret. Hmmmm.....
We also finally know Shimano is Sachi's brother as he claimed and hence his personal interest.
Also, what is Goya's other exclassmate Akimoto in shanghai has got to do with all these?!!!
The episode left off with cliffhanger that Kuroki told his dad he doesnt want to be look down and dead end career as his colleague if he continue on with Goda. I assume he is faking it to lure his dad's trust so that he can expose the secret his dad is hiding about the case 25years ago and his rapid ascend up the ranks... coool!
If you still havent watch this series, you should consider it!! I am so looking forward to next episode when Goda head to Shanghai!!! Dang!
Do you find the first track playing on the blog familiar, yeah, its the closing theme song for the drama. Nice eh! I love this track!!! Don't you?

Triangle Episode 2 Summary
Triangle. It's good. Not as Riveting as I hope but still gripping, not to mention the strong cast is a good reason to think the show wont be too bad. For those interested and cannot wait for the English sub, a brief summary of episode 2 as below.
Triangle 2 summary
The episode went on to further explain the "real" identity of the girl Sachi who is "back from the death". Apparently the real Sachie did die, and the one who attended the elementary class reunion is an adopted child. The deceased mother was so overwhelmed by the death of her daughter that she adopted a girl of similar age and name, to replace her daughter. However the father did not accept the situation and he left.
Goda revealed he knew the "truth" back in France and Sachi was pissed. Goya's colleague Shun suspected him as the killer of Sachie 25 years ago given his suspicious interest and coincidental appearance in all the series of events.
Goda discovered one of his classmate had written a manuscript on the murder which claim to uncover some shocking truth about it, but he had handed the manuscript to another classmate Horigome(the first witness to the crime) to locate a publisher for it. Goda looked up Horigome asking to see the manuscript but was rejected. Later Horigome claimed his office was robbed of cash and the script.
Goda was suspected by his peers to be the "robber" but was later cleared of suspicions. It was a fake robbery. A rich guy Shimano Takaya appeared at Sachi's exhibition and bought an art piece at high price on the pretext of discovering new young talent. He wanted to meet Sachi and her friend over lunch but she did not appear.
At home, Sachi was injured by her adoptive mother who lapsed into hysterial whenever she rem that her real daughter had died. receiving a call from Sachie's classmate enquiring about the letter, the mum thrashed the house. In the search of the "last letter to the older me" written by her daughter before her death, Sachie's mum had a relapse, thus missing the appointment. Shimano assumed it was Goda who had called the mum.
Later we see Shimano inviting Goda and Shun to his office, asking them to leave Sachi alone to enjoy her current happiness. He explained Sachi's orphan past but did not elaborate his connection except that he is a talent scout and would not want Sachi's talent to be hindered by all these investigations.
By chance, Sachi discovered the "letter" written by the deceased Sachie. Her eyes widened as she read the content. She received an annoymous call to meet with the letter. As she made her way, she was spotted by Goda who followed her. Goda spotted a guy walking towards Sachi with a knife wanting to stab her, but Goda rushed forward in time to protect Sachi and got stabbed instead.....
At the end of the show, we see a young Goda in class writing his own letter, asking the older him to help Sachie no matter what happen.

New Drama: Triangle (J)
Ok, if you have enough of love stories and looking for a change in taste in drama plot, Fuji Tv delivers a new suspense mystery drama - "Triangle" (トライアングル), now airing every Tuesday in Japan starting from 6th Jan.I think I may like this as it consists of a good lead casts (relationship diagram) who had been good in other works, and plus, I just love mysteries plot created by Japanese script writer. I hope this one doesnt disappoint.
