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.

"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.

If a romantic drama series is going to conclude with an unresolved ending that leaves it up to the viewer to decide whether the couple end up together or not, then the journey toward that ending has to be sufficiently rewarding. I don't think that it is in this case.
The series is very well acted, and has a good ensemble cast, however i found the scriptwriting very disappointing.
This series would have us believe that nearly every Korean lives with their head in the sand, and is unable to carry on a frank conversation, even when they are in private.
I found the main relationship to be unrealistic, with the primary couple failing at every opportunity to behave in a normal human manner.
They appear to prefer talking in riddles, than hashing out their situation like regular people would.
In fact the only main character that seemed to behave in a rational manner was So Kyung Pil, who was too often portrayed as the villain for only being honest to himself and others.
When i compare the writing here to two of my favourite Korean romantic dramas - One Spring Night (Bombam), and Something In The Rain - i find that it pales in comparison.
It is at least better than My Liberation Diary, which meandered along and went nowhere, but not by much.
Despite my frustration with the actions and decisions of the characters, I watched it all the way through in the hope that I would at least be rewarded with a satisfactory ending. Alas i was again disappointed. It is possible to conclude a romantic story successfully with an open ending - watch My Mister for a prime example - however The Interest Of Love fails in that department too, due to the inferior writing.
In the end I felt that my time could have been better invested elsewhere, and am still craving to find another Korean romantic drama of the standard of the aforementioned three series.

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.

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!
