More often than not I hate love triangles. Usually because one of the candidates is utterly bland and lacks any chemistry with their intended love interest, and their epicness is only used to detract from weaknesses in the plot. Or the alleged bad boy isn't really any worse than the other guy, though he's constantly portrayed as a villain, despite the fact that he often stands on the moral high ground. It's like the writers think that calling someone bad often enough will make the audience believe it, or flogging a dead relationship will make us want to ship it.
Or it's just a screwy use of an otherwise interesting character, and any sort of second rate romance will only detract from their potential.
I much prefer the slowburn of the love/hate relationship, if there's going to romance at all. That way, the chemistry develops over time and the payoff is more realistic - if it's done well.
