The Interest of Love

"The Interest of Love" is not for everyone, definitely not for the ones who believe in fast forward love stories.

It is for us... the hopeless romantics, we don't love simple fun loving love life, it has to be complex, confusing, intriguing where you introspect yourself.

I could totally relate with each and every character.....the beauty of this drama is the pace. It is slow, there is no hurry to jump on to any conclusion, there is entry & exit of emotions, the feeling of disappearing and destroying...these are real notions, this is life!!

Patiently waited each week to upload the new episodes, was excited to see what unfolds!!

And yes, the main lead Yoo Yeon Seok he never disappoints. His suttleness is the key to his success.

So if you have patience and the understanding of difficult love....then don't miss this drama.

I have 3 episodes left and am really enjoying this show. The actors have a lot of depth and the story is engaging. Having watched Yoo Yeon-Seok in Mr. Sunshine (a must watch!), he is not disappointing in this show and I mainly watched it to see him at first. He conveys the implied emotion on his face without even saying a word, he is a very good actor!

This is a show about love and discrimination based on upbringing and the amount of money you have. It also shows us how important timing can be to a relationship and how the choices we make affect not only ourselves, but can have a profound impact on others.

I am puzzled by the low ratings given by other viewers. Perhaps they like action or crazy storylines, or perhaps they like popcorn shows where they dont have to think much and where there isn't much character development?

In any case, go into it with an open mind and don't let the other reviews prevent you from watching. At least give it a chance.

I want to be very clear: this is a superb series for whomever is looking for a westerner, social + romantic, full of very very interesting ideas type one. However, the problem is that k-drama watchers are mostly the ones watching it, so the rating is low because of this: they expect a nice bubbly story, with all kind of hidden relations that are going to be revealed in the end, full of romantic, unexpected turns, so of course, for them this is going to be boring. Again, the series is superb, depicting perfectly the social segregation, power abuse, difficult to reach relations, but the final idea that a relation should be stopped after an amazing climax has been reached is stunning (and it's so very difficult to stop...) despite there are counterexamples when two people live happily ever after (yes, you can count them on the fingers of a single hand, but... there are!!). An excellent director, who used picturesque effects to show a large variety of feelings on the screen. It's absolutely everything else but boring!

I thought the actors were all pretty good. I just can't stand these depressing stories. Ironically the second leading man was also in Love Alarm, another K-Drama I couldn't stand. Currently on episode 15 and it's heading towards a sad ending, or perhaps another ending similar to Love Alarm, where the writer keeps you in the dark regarding the true emotions of the female lead. Also, others have mentioned how they disliked the normalization of cheating, and I agree regarding that sentiment, however, I don't believe any of the characters actually cheated...I think they made others believe that they cheated... hopefully I will find this out tomorrow.

Ugh, I'll be watching finale tomorrow, but if you haven't started, and you prefer happy endings, go watch something else, like It's Okay to Not Be Okay (my absolute favorite K-Drama).

On my opinion actors showed all kinds of emotions very well. The kdrama shows struggle to find the love in this life and I think a lot of us can empathize with tot.

Feels like a real human story. Also describes well the specific Korean complexity in society.

I like this non standard story, and there are much less cliche than in other kdramas.

After it a lot of thoughts and questions appeared in my mind. And the feelings are good and calm. Appreciate the love in my life)) The actors were pretty good too. The scenes of Korea are beautiful as usual with all the seasons.

Not for everyone, because it is all about relationships and emotions.

I think it is underrated, the kdrama is really interesting.
