The Interest of Love

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.

"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 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!

This was way, way TOO slow for me. I liked the idea of a bank themed workplace so watched it but it was so slow and boring it just put me to sleep. I am reluctant to give out 5 stars however there were 2 saving elements - There was really only 2 things good about this series: 1. Episode 13 when Ga-ram Jung stepped up to be a man and finally put some excitement into the series when he found out about the so-called "incident". But the excitement was a one scene wonder due to the rest of the series that got boring again. 2. Yoo Yeon-seok gave out a very few kisses, but the ones he did were really good - you could see he has lots of experience in that department.

The ending was the worse unsatisfying ending I ever saw in a series.

What a great story of 2 hearts. They hide their feelings so deeply made me myself feel affected. All assumptions went south.

All hope seems to have been destroyed. Then brought back before being destroyed again. This feeling is like being hit many times on a stone plain. Until the end, it is left up to one's own imagination.

The performance of the characters is very good with facial expressions and body language that make a very strong impression.

Only in the final episodes, the pace slows down a bit and makes the soul struggle to know what's next.

I hope for more great stories like this in the future.
