Comments

A May 09 2024 1:33 am We usually don’t criticise the series we never started to watch or left too early. I think the problem is that we are halfway there when we make decisions based on the progress of the series. As someone who is familiar with slow motion dramas through S.Korea, I liked the typical love triangle theme and the cast. The finale of the 12th episode burdened this very innocent young woman with a reality that we may encounter at any time. I'll grit my teeth and continue watching, hoping to find some romance.

Park Min Apr 17 2024 8:31 am Late Stage Capitalism Love. It's really hard to trust a Netflix series with inexperienced writers, in this case, it seems this drama is still the writers' only project. The combination usually results in producing flops and slops, and the pattern seems to be consistent with this one as well. It goes without saying, this explains why the dialogue was unbelievably atrocious and mind numbing. The story itself remained in a nonfunctional state throughout its run and mixing it with a half-assed social commentary piece resulted in a certified stinker. Even its creator know that it was a failed attempt so they abandoned the idea after a few episodes. Amidst all of that, somehow, they managed to create 16 episodes. I guess having the characters talking in slow-mo helped, which made it more painful in combination for how the dialogue was.

Joes Feb 19 2024 9:55 am Low paced story, lazy writing and worst characters. Everything was bad about this drama. Park Mi-Gyeong rocks, she lights the screen and steals the scenes whenever she appears. don't understand why any man would dump her, she's caring, loving and wealthy as heck.

Han Feb 19 2024 9:42 am Ha and Ahn are so toxic, they sleeping around and cheating. Makes no sense for Ha to dump a caring, charismatic and wealthy woman for a sadistic, emotionless and poor woman. Writers totally screwed up the plot and the ending. Wasted my time for nothing.

Ria Jan 31 2024 12:33 pm just watched until ep 9 but i cried my eyes out every episode, i wish the pain could stop and they could be happy

Brandi Dec 16 2023 8:40 pm Another "woe is me and my life" drama. As much as her coworkers were the worst (and they are the absolute worst) Su Yeong caused her own suffering with her low self-esteem and feelings of inferiority. I can't fault her for it though because that seems to be the basic programming in this culture... "you come from nothing, therefore, you 'should' always be nothing". I wish she used some of that spunk she displayed when she was pissed off with Sang Su, to tell her co-workers about themselves.

Because I know we become what we think/believe and it's not our circumstances that determine the quality of our lives, it's hard for me to watch dramas with this kind of content and enjoy them.

After making faces and rolling my eyes through my first watch of this drama. I allowed myself to watch it again, skip the parts that pissed me off (and there were many) and just enjoyed Sang Su's longing stares and unconditional love for Su Yeong. If any other actor besides Yoo Yeon Seok played Sang Su I wouldn't have finished this annoying and depressing drama.

Now I will go and re-write then ending to my liking because... after what you put on through for 16 episodes, what the heck kinda ending was that??!!!!!

P.S. Why do drama writers insist on creating characters who don't know how to express themselves? This "misunderstanding because of poor communication" has now become a drama trope for me and I hate it.

I would've enjoyed this more if they actually dated, had a hard time dating in secret then an even harder time when everyone finds out and starts to pollute their thoughts with "who does she think she is dating him?" and "you should feel so lucky dating him" comments. They struggle because of Su Yeoung's obvious inferiority complex, blah blah blah. They break up, years go by then they come together again after hindset growth and wisdom and ends with a hint of "love Is still there and I still want you."

Bonnie Dec 10 2023 3:47 pm I’ve grown quite bored with this kind of narrative… all the narratives in this drama, bored with them all. I don’t see why forcing someone who doesn’t want you, to be with you is pleasant to watch. Not enjoying this drama. This concept is a bit played out. A bit more imagination please writers. This has been done to death and it needs to die.

pinkonmonsta Nov 19 2023 7:02 am at first, i don't expect anything from this drama, but damn. this is one of the best slice of life drama i've watched after so long. pro: 1. the acting of the actors are hands down unrivaled (also visuals obv). 2. the story is so relatable with interesting plot and how they portray it into the screen. 3. so addicting, really hurts! always cant wait to watch how the story goes next. 4. makes me want to rewatch this drama n times!! cons: the only con is i can understand how people are tired of this drama because of how the leads are acting so annoying and indifferent

but Soo recommended, especially for yall who are working in office, so relatable. A Must Watch!

Cees Grandia Nov 17 2023 1:09 pm Ahn Su-Yeong's I feel the pain she going through. Beautiful actrice en welk played..

Nadia Nov 06 2023 3:17 pm I want to love this drama because I absolutely love k dramas.The storyline and acting are always outstanding but this just felt slow and disappointing. Such frustrating moments.**SPOILER**Like in all that time ehy did ann su and Mr so not just say they never really slept together. Why did Mr So just try to text and voice note the truth.in all that time just shout the damn truth out.Was all too frustrating. Then to be so subtle and evasive with the ending.How annoying. Such Amazing Actors And The Waste The Last Episode With Maybes And Subtlety.Arrgggggggggggggggg So Mad lost opportunity here to have made a very memorable show. When she saw her ex and that he became an officer after all they should have let her see him salute her so their story has closure.Too many lost moments here but the ending is unforgettable and bland.I loved this series but wish they made the last episode more unforgettable. Amazing cast though.

Rango Sep 12 2023 7:17 am Such a waste of time chasing the poor girl. She has dumped him few time but still he don't see it.....he could just marry the rich girl....she pretty , caring and good hearted....nothing wrong with her.

kiki Sep 11 2023 3:40 am Very love this drama. Rewatch many times. Still bleeding, but i know the ending is happy one.

Ish Sep 05 2023 12:50 pm A very sad and poignant drama, but someone who has already ever lived has recognized all the hesitations, mistakes and errors that have made his life a sometimes wonderful but more often a demanding journey. As the film says: "Isn't that love? Two people going through everyday life together". I pity those who haven't experienced it.

Helen Aug 25 2023 1:08 pm Spoilers. Having mulled over my dissatisfaction with the conclusion of The Interest of Love, I have decided it is a cautionary tale. I believe it shows the absolute necessity of communication in any relationship. While, I expected something different, I believe there is a chance for these two to succeed now that they are really talking and sharing with one another. The hesitation and what ifs, without clarification, stunted the growth of both Mr Ha and Ms Ahn. Ms Park suffocated Mr Ha with unwanted gifts and Mr Jeong did not have the intellect or drive to attract Ms Ahn permanently. If it had been better received, there could have been a second season. I surely hate to see all that personal growth go unanswered.

hm5airy Aug 09 2023 4:20 pm I rewatched this drama many times . it is very good one has strong plots , well written and well directed . I can understand why fans dislike or underrate it , sadly I think it is very realistic !!! relationships are complicated specially in workplace , fear of people talk and how love can be lost with hesitation and denial . The end is not sad at all they back to each but when ?? after she found herself and regain her self esteem she was feeling not deserving to be happy or loved .. just needs time to be healed .

Carline Yup Jul 25 2023 12:32 pm Well acted silliness. This drama was meant to be compelling, but I found it to be an overly long, contrived exercice.

Ellie Jul 24 2023 5:01 am I love this drama, have always liked Yoo Yeon Sook since Mr Sunshine and Dr Romantic. Moon Ga Young good too. But a big mistake in the English subtitles. He asks her ‘Let me ask you one question, have you ever liked me?’ She very clearly answers ‘Nae’ or ‘Ne’ which means Yes. The subtitle clearly reads ‘No’. This mistake completely changes the important meaning of her answer. Translators have a major role and should not stuff it up!

Dan Jul 14 2023 1:42 pm Having re-watched Episodes 15 and 16, I agree with those who find strong hints in the finale that these two will finally get together, or at least give their relationship one more try. (After all, they have never even properly "dated".)

I was touched by Ahn Su-Yeong's remark during their walk that she ghosted Ha Sang-Su because their relationship left "nothing more to give or receive." By this I take her to mean that their love had reached perfection, however briefly, in Tongyeong. The question is whether Ha Sang-Su can convince her that love is not continuous perfection, but rather "two people living day to day life together". One hopes he will. Otherwise she faces years of loneliness.

Sang-Su and Su-Yeong end the story as they silently approach the end of their walk up the collegiate "hill of oblivion," with their backs to us. They are not (alas) arm in arm, or even hand in hand. One of the series' haunting soundtrack songs ("Wonder Why") is reprised. In it the singer asks why his departed lover persists indelibly in his heart, why the dream of her cannot be erased (just as Sang-Su says he has forgotten nothing). In context the song is an ambiguous close to the movie. The film ends before the song reaches a line from in its earlier appearances: "I don't want to love you like I used to." Is the omission a deliberate hint, or just a coincidence of editing? It's ambiguous, like this whole series and the relationship it depicts.

Dea Jul 08 2023 3:26 am I love the main leads’ acting, but dislike the plot so much. And imo the ending is horrible.

SK Jul 07 2023 7:55 am Possible spoiler alert: When i first started watching this drama, i came here to read some of the comments, no too many as i didn't want to read any spoilers, and i couldn't understand why everyone was so disappointed. I thought episodes 1 to 10 were brilliant, albiet slow paced, but i loved the tension build up to ep 10. But then it was just downhill from there, it became super slow. I mean how many times would the FL just not answer questions and look away, i think that's just not possible in real life. So many miscommunications and missed moments right to the end, where there was no closure. The ML was brilliant, his acting was amazing. The way he managed to portray his discomfort in so many situations, i thought he did a great job, and needs an award for it. The ending was frustrating, like c'mon, give us something, just anything right about now so we can get closure too. The OST was amazing and on par with the different scenarios, i especially loved "Shadow Love" by LAS, have been playing it repeatedly, it goes well with this slow paced drama, and the lyrics are amazing, i feel like it portrays Sang Su's love for Su Yeong more than the 2nd ML, Jong Hyeon's, where this song was always played, in the 2nd ML and FL scenes. Oh, i also loved the acting of the guy that played So Gyeong Pil, i thought he did a brilliant job. Want to watch more of his drama's now. I thought him and Mi Gyeong should've ended up together in the very least. Overall, i would give this drama 7/10, just because I liked ep 1 to 10. There was a lot of promise there for this drama up till then.

jhenn Jun 30 2023 11:26 am im just disappointed with the ending ...im not contended so many questions to answer..season 2 plsss..

Rita de Cassia Guimarães Sylvestre Gonçalves Jun 30 2023 9:40 am I was glued till the final chapter. And, on the contrary of most opinions, I do believe the lead couple will have a future together, as there are lots of clues in this direction: the mention that Mr. Ma and his bride struggled for 4 years before getting married; the situation that leads Su-sang to the Tomorrow Happiness cafe; Su-sang final words that he hasn't forget anything and the fact that they are going up the hill. Satisfactory clues, to me, for a happy ending.

JC Jun 01 2023 1:01 am I feel much better and somewhat validated in my harsh opinions of this K-drama after reading the comments here, which I think are pretty much spot on. First, I love K-dramas and have watched a ton of them, but this was the most boring and frustrating one I've ever seen. I hung in there hoping it would get better and would somehow as least partially redeem itself by the end, but the ending couldn't have been any more boring, frustrating and awful if they had put a team of the worst screenwriters on it to set a new low in storylines. I liked most of the actors, but the lead female was really the central character, whose story & perspective really drove the whole series and was both boring, erratic, frustrating, and maddening with her actions, reactions, decisions and persona. There is no logical or even illogical reason that the male lead would have continued caring & pursuing this woman for years, based on her unbalanced behavior and mostly evasive and indifferent attitude toward his obvious attention and affection. Her character was a seriously damaged person incapable of maintaining a normal relationship.

bronze walker May 26 2023 3:34 pm S2 E1 “Daze” Time frame: 2022. Opening scene, Sang-su reading a book in the break room, sipping on a cup of coffee before work. Min-hee stops at the door. "Aaah, Sang-su, I heard about that book. Is everything in it true?" SS: "Mmm, don't believe everything you read."

Bingo May 25 2023 1:23 am I really liked, over 60 kdramas i watched, this one stood out for me.

It kept me glued to the screen since episode 1. Yes, i understand people saying it is slow and frustrating(a lot sometimes, especially the FL, but thats what triggered me to want the next episode even more)

Its not a typical cliche drama, honestly i think it conveys a lot of the reality, the atmosphere of the drama was another thing that catched my attention, you can feel the tension between the characters, highlighted with their expressions, for me this was a key factor to enhance and the plot.

imo it was a tremendous work from all the crew and actors, i would definitely recommend for someone looking for a complicated romantic story more heavy in the drama side

Mean May 24 2023 5:53 pm Super slow but I keep watching hoping the plot to be better. But it didnt, the ending even worse.

Ike May 16 2023 10:04 pm The worst KDrama i've ever seen..

Rex Hays May 13 2023 5:25 pm I don’t know why I keep watching this. As far as I’m concerned this is the worst Kdrama I’ve ever watched and I’ve watched a lot. Every episode is more disappointing than the last. I’ve made it to episode 13 and I think this is it. I’m wasting my time.

Aime vVital May 03 2023 8:44 pm I genuinely wanted to love this drama, but man where do I start? I understand its about 4 people with different point of view of life and love. I get it there must be a love triangle and drama but I felt it boring as the episodes kept going. Sang-su made me still keep watching and have hope, I was rooting for him. But Su-Yeong....Girl, Im so confused on what she wants. I get it why she might feel hurt at first with Sang-Su but why make the situation complicated. Why go to Jong? what was her point? She was everywhere, I love her but the not the character.

Connie Apr 28 2023 3:09 pm The drama was fabulous but the ending made me want to shoot my tv. OMG

Jinlautss Apr 28 2023 9:31 am As a male I couldn't understand what Ahn Su-Yeong wanted, like wth im so confused. I hope girls in general stop following their hormones, like how high was Ahn Su-Yeong E2(estradiol)?

guki.26 Apr 17 2023 11:12 am I liked this kdrama but yeah the FL was unbelievable. She was always sad and her smile omg.. that was not honest. How can a man love a woman like this? I appreciate the ML, even when he hesitated because he had good reasons and we can see that he loves her. But she was absolutely boring. And not only her, the security boy was more boring than the FL. I don’t know why they wrote a character like him.. I can’t understand. Finally, I watched till the end, thanks to YYS ans the soundtracks :)

MiniMin Apr 15 2023 11:57 am Don't waste your time on this drama. Mun Ka-Young's character was one of the most boring, random and illogical ones I've had the displeasure to ever watch. The bland acting didn't help either. Don't know what the writers' intention was, trying to be unpredictable maybe, but just ending up being annoying and stupid. The rest of the cast were quite good, a pity their talent was wasted in this forgettable show.

Doro Apr 04 2023 1:51 am Thank you all! I have never had so much fun reading these posts - completely cured me of the trauma caused by the scenario.

Ma Mar 30 2023 12:52 pm Seeing the majority of the comments here I'm surprised that I actually like it because usually I never finish slow dramas. But this one was different for me. Might be slow but I could relate with the hardships of each character went through and that's how I kept watching. Great acting and writing.

the writers gave us a glimpse of the reality.

Uridotchi Mar 29 2023 8:57 pm This is a frustrating series to watch. Was watching due to the leads YYS and MKY. Both were great from Hospital Playlist and True Beauty but their characters in this were terrible. The female character, Ahn Su-Yeong was a toxic - I mean she basically caused destruction & sadness for everyone that comes in contact with her. I get that the character has had a sad life, always looked down by higher class ppl etc but in the end, I think she just enjoys wallowing in her depression despite ppl coming into her life to make her happier eg. Ha Sung-Su, Jeong Jong-Hyeon and Park Mi-Gyeong. The male lead was also very puzzling - I mean, I get his love for Su-Yeong is deep but in the end, he keeps going for her. In the end, it also seems he is happier with being sad & depressed - just like Su-Yeong.

Sigh, this is probably a sign of the writers running out of ideas or didn't have structure of what the series should be. It was painfully slow in every episode that I had to fast forward just to get to the point. There are many times in the conversation between the characters where there is such a long pause between sentences.

In the end, this series is very disappointing. It seems like they're trying to unrequited love, depression, sadness but another series, My Mister does it much better! The only redeeming thing of this series is Park Mi-Gyeong. Keum Sae-Rok lights up the screen whenever she is in a scene. I truly felt bad for her character's journey more so than the leads.

Kifon Mar 26 2023 5:45 am This drama might be the best out there but it's still one of the best drama to watch. It portrait love in it's own way, making it difficult to understand what love really is especially to youth.

But all in all; it's a good drama and immediately you start watching it will very difficult to abandon it ; the director makes show of it by always ending each episode in a way one will always want to know how the next episode will play out and so will be anxiously craving for it. I love this Drama

Jasjit Mar 16 2023 5:31 pm The story line to start it was good then it was like - they come together - she runs away- through out . It made no sense. Loved the actors Yoo Yeon Seok - he is good . The actress was always with a blank face no emotions pretty but couldnt say I liked her in this role . Mun Ka Young- have to watch another movie to determine her acting . Sorry ?

Kdramastan Mar 16 2023 7:12 am absolutely boring and a huge waste of talent and time. my heart goes out to yoo yoon seok for accepting this clownish show

Desiree T. Mar 15 2023 2:22 pm This drama was so slow, I almost quit it several times but wanted to see how it played out. It seemed the female lead had only one look always sad and downtroden but then she was randomly unkind. The second male lead did not fit the part at all, it is not believable that the main character would fall for him, he just did'nt measure up to being a second lead.

purinblossom Mar 11 2023 1:46 am I was more interested in the beginning but it kept getting more boring to watch. It was very slow and I often was bored and wanted the next scene to start. I don't like the main girl she seems toxic. I don't understand why the main guy likes her so much like just move on bro. But also same to the girl that he was dating. She kept holding onto him when she should've also moved on. I did feel bad for her though and the guy who was dating the main girl. But overall I wouldn't watch this drama again, it was way too slow for me and I didn't even really like any of the characters. I only finished it because I hate leaving things unfinished, and I was curious how it'd end

Prem Mar 09 2023 3:43 pm Does anyone know the song played in starting of episode 14 & 15, with these wording "when you feel alone , i will be your side. I wish my aching heart would heal, i will be your side , i wish it could be.

best drama i have seen. No one is villian , no one is bad, no one is good, no one deserves the pain they get. Everyone is innocent , caring for others, still they don't find love and happiness.

Kikkoman Mar 04 2023 5:14 am the main dude just keeps acting stupid and his love interest is toxic af. probably the worst female character I've seen in a drama. idk who they made this for but definitely not for me. I dropped it after episode 2.

zaz Mar 03 2023 5:03 am The main character is boring .. unsmiling always sad ..... i don't like how they play games with their partners , the other one says i love you .. and the other one i want to break up , the security guy says i love you i give you a ring engagement and she not a single expression of joy .. only sadness and the ring doesn't do it for me ... they make fun of their partners, no one deserves to live this in their life, they both should have been honest with their partners .. so much confusion and the main character really doesn't know what she wants..

Stefanie Mar 02 2023 9:23 pm I am watching until the end, but it is slow! I kind of think the main girl lead has no personality. I don't see her appeal. I am sure she plays her part well as an actress, but she seems dull to me. It is an okay drama, but not my favorite compared to others.

Ellie Feb 24 2023 7:06 pm A very mature, slow moving drama with so many disappointments that reflect real life. Yoo Yeon Seok handles his role with surprising skill and easily carried the show. Was relived with the last minute happy ending giving us hope for love in life. Excellent.

Jyo Feb 24 2023 6:07 pm Gave a headache, finally finished watching. Both the leads are my favourite but the story line is terrible. Has no start, no mid and no ending. Just being confused throughout ruining theirs and others life. Nonsense!

INTERESTED NO MORE Feb 24 2023 3:28 am I love YYS, his acting is always the best in every drama and movie. MGY's acting improved a lot.

But this drama is crazy! I want to love it but I just cant! It is a rollercoaster of indecisiveness, illogical and immature responses, miscommunications, self-destruction or self-pity, too much assumptions, hasty decisions, series of unfortunate events, and unsettled issues that could have been resolved if only they have talked about it clearly.

The casts are so great, the plot is promising but the storyline is so frustrating! This is now part of "my never to watch this again because you will feel miserable in every episode."

I dislike the female lead, at first I wanna understand her so much, but her character has no development and maturity. She is very insecure and self-pitying all the time. I know she has gone thru many things in life but it is as if she never matured and developed.

Writer-nim, what happened? Director also did Do You Like Brahms, the plot is so frustrating too. Why these dramas are so miserable?

sigh*

Julie Feb 22 2023 5:59 am This is a brilliant drama. So good to have a good one back post “”””Covid. Yoo Yeon Seok is just talented and great. Loved him on Mr Sunshine, one of my favourite dramas. Looking forward to watching him as a lead. Well directed. Very happy so far.

Well done ❤️

Kimchi Feb 21 2023 12:36 am After 4 years on and still no Closure?....LOL

leea Feb 19 2023 12:14 pm Love this melowdrama. All characters are potrayed well by the actors. Every episode is full of tention. This drama closes to reality. The ML and FL looks in the eyes talk more than words. They have deep looks with such painful meaning. Love is all about understanding and keep faith to your heart and your partners.

Be happy and be in love Sang Su & Su Yeong ?

Steve Wilcox Feb 17 2023 5:15 pm There was so much emotion between the main characters it was a shame and disappointment the last episode left their future up in the air. A more satisfying ending would have them profess their love for each other, marriage and their future together. 16 episodes, 16 hours and their relationship is still in limbo.

Not in love Feb 17 2023 9:18 am A total waste of time, draggy and out of touch with reality.

Mhine Feb 15 2023 9:24 pm I love it, watched it a few times. I love watching Sang- Su, I think he played the role pretty well. Seeing him stare at her, tears in his eyes I can feel his love for her. I was hoping for a better ending though. Finally after 4 yrs they met again and to end by just walking and did not even hold hands or kissed ? the story is not bad at all. I agree it’s a bit slow. Happier ending is better especially it’s all sadness all the time. Like a chance to finally be together, get married.

1ndig0 Feb 15 2023 4:44 pm I was hoping for better with this drama, but the chemistry between the main characters just wasn't there. The plot lacked any real development. Around episode 10 or so, I started fast forwarding through most of the episodes. I got to the last and just felt like this could've been one of the short special series dramas that was condensed to 4-8 episodes.

Farukh Feb 15 2023 1:57 pm This drama is outstanding But I wonder why their selfish about their love

Erra Feb 13 2023 8:18 pm Yes, it's a slow-paced drama and most of the audience don't like the female character for being selfish by destroying male character's love line. But, somehow it is addictive. The way how the story goes makes you want to keep watching it. The plot is good, the picture is beautiful, the actors did a very great job. for me, the drama deserves good rating and better review.

Natasha Feb 13 2023 9:50 am Initially i did understand Ahn su yeong for ghosting Ha sang when he hesitated at the signal. But still she could have given him a chance to explain. She went on with her lies and also got that security boy involved. Even at that point where Ahn su yeong was dating security boy , i could understand her that she was trying hard to make it work but then all of sudden, she started yearning for Ha Sang and made him to cheat on Mi geong. She destroyed everyone's lives for nothing. After doing all that damage, she could have just got back with Ha Sang but she kept on flirting with him and then ghosting him for no reason. The last episode was frustating to watch and far fetched from reality. Ahn su yeong just loved being chased and she made Ha Sang long for her by ghosting him.

Val Feb 13 2023 8:00 am I guess the lead female is just a classic example of a toxic character and poor boys falling for her. Obviously she has her own issues to be like that but the way they portrayed the development of characters is just nonsense… 16 episodes of staring at each other and basically saying nothing, what a waste of a screen time. P.S. Jeong Jong really surprised me as an actor, the way he switched from a happy boy to a broken one, his facial expressions, they way his lips trembled.. just wow! i was in love with his acting))

sf Feb 13 2023 7:40 am I am eager to know what the writers think about the bad reviews of their script here. I do not believe they are very proud after they have read the comments below.

Rider Feb 13 2023 7:27 am For those who want to be entertained by the many Korean over-the-top romances, that’s fine, but then Interest of Love – a nuanced study - is not for you.

I have experienced everyone one of those situations – but I mostly was hesitant because the timing didn’t feel right. Many of my friends did not – and have married and divorced several times over. You can be blinded by love – even if there was serious open and honest communications – it didn’t matter. Years passed, and I finally found her – and we've been together for decades. And yet, once in a blue moon, we’ve crossed paths with our past loves – and in the back of my mind – what if.

The ending was not an ending, but really a beginning for the characters Sang-Su and Su-Yeong … may they find their happiness whoever they may be. Likewise, Kdramas need these explorations to expand their range of story telling – whether they are liked or not. Over the top is easy – nuanced portrayals are not.

Elvera Feb 13 2023 12:39 am This is a very lovely actress and she has those cute little ears it really give her a very Charming look. I have to say she's stole the whole show. Her character was very relatable, I believe everybody has had a crush on or somebody they felt very strongly about that didn't reciprocate their feelings. She had this part down pat.

Tam Feb 12 2023 8:12 pm I really grew to dislike the female lead’s character, Ahn Su Yeong. It just seems like she deliberately set out to hurt everyone. And to make matters worse, it was just dragging, and too slow paced. And I only watched to the end because I was hopeful it would end well or something would change. My mistake.

Summer Feb 12 2023 7:56 pm Frankly speaking, A slow-paced, dragging, and time-wasting drama that lacks sufficient plot development , a waste of time to watch to make it worse the female lead has the same facial expressions all the time.

Bearbearbears Feb 12 2023 2:50 pm Don't waste your time with this series. That's all.

LwmTiam Feb 11 2023 7:20 pm The somewhat ambiguous ending is not the problem with this drama. They didn't have to have a super happy ending or be married in the end. What the drama needed to was in someway allow the characters to deal with crazy shit that happened and bring closure to their story. For example, the mom cheated (or maybe not) on the dad rather than the other way around. Why didn't the mom just tell Su-yeong that it was her, and that she needed to stop being so mean to her father? What happened may have been a misunderstand and the whole family was hurt because of it. The truth was the best way to heal, so why didn't the mom just tell the truth?

Secondly, Su-yeong and Gyeong-pil did not sleep together. Even if Sang-su as the character didn't want to know what really happened, Su-yeong needed to explain why she did that and apologize for the unnecessary hurt that she caused. The truth game was the perfect opportunity for Su-yeong to explain to Sang-su and redeem herself, but that didn't happen.

Worst, Su-yeong then ghosted Sang-su for 4 years and didn't really care about getting back with him. This was a terrible idea by the writers/creators of the show. They got together again because of coincident, they both seemed to give up on each other. In the end, they are a bit more honest about how they really feel and some of their regrets and past decisions, but they still didn't clearly say "let's give this relationship a shot," which was the worst part of the whole drama.

Charles Presto Feb 11 2023 3:32 pm Perhaps Crazy, Stupid Love might have been an alternate title. The inability to communicate was absolutely profound? It was amazing how Su yeoung was able to be at the center of so much difficulty.

SL Feb 11 2023 10:32 am Show started off great, but it just dragged on… I don’t feel there was a need for 16 episodes, prob could have wrapped it up in 10-12. I felt like time was kind of wasted waiting for something big to develop but nothing really did… *SPOILER ALERT* honestly if it was going to drag this long they could have at least had the ML and FL get together. Yes, this drama does depict real life dating scenarios, but didn’t need to be done in 16 episodes without really a developing plot or story.

Winson Feb 11 2023 9:28 am my Real Life story

Dhidhoth Feb 11 2023 4:28 am The cast are excellent, but the story line is lousy. I stopped watching it until episode 5. That's too bad the plot was dissatifying although the cast are experienced actors.

Spencer Feb 10 2023 11:49 pm What a let down ending! It feels like a waste of time. Story about people who don't show their true feelings and don't communicate. Even through time things never change. Regrets and reminiscing about wasted chances! Such a frustrating drama.

seina Feb 10 2023 9:46 pm Ahn Su-Yeong is the most complicated character that I've ever seen in my 12 years journey of watching Korean drama... but at least the ending is well written also I've watch this because the story is keep me interest and curious yet haha, good job to the writer tbh

Both Yoo Yeon-Seok & Moon Ka-Young really portraying the character very well also both 2nd leads Jung Ga-Ram & Keum Sae-Rok !!! very good job to all~

Nisa Feb 10 2023 9:32 pm She's so complicated! But Sang Su is right .. his obsession could be because he's blinded by interest. It made him wiser .. but Seo Yeong, you need to heal your issues!

Rango Feb 10 2023 9:12 pm After 4 years.".Nothing to give...nothing to recieve "....duh....Sang Soo probably the most foolish guy that ever lived!

Renwa Feb 10 2023 11:32 am OMG…what a ride…I’m totally exhausted. This review is my desperate attempt for closure, distance from the fury/depression evoked by this drama and hope my viewer/reviewer integrity remains intact. My gratitude to all the reviewers who gave vent both positive & negative to the rest of us who hung in for a while or all the way. To our dear outstanding actors: you gave beautiful nuanced talented performances…you are the very reason we stuck with this most difficult to watch drama. You must have all been exhausted digging deep to bring your character alive…was there combat pay? Or a salary benefit for therapy after this gig? Just like the characters we hoped for the best but alas…nothing from beginning to end. I grasp for any hint of themes explaining some or all of it: emotional bullying on a personal & workplace level, emotional development or lack thereof based on early distorted family lies, lack of personal/societal boundaries…the list can go on but I think a line in the last episode says it all when asked why the relationship ceased and the ML was ghosted by the FL…she coldly dispassionately says “there was nothing more to give or receive.” That’s how I felt early in episode 1 and should have walked away from this drama. The ambiguity of the ending finished me off…the viewers deserved more as we work hard too. My respect for the actors & production team for any drama runs deep as we are grateful for all we receive from k drama…so we stick it out. The screenplay was flawed lacking almost without real human emotion…a real world of such people, desperation & false hope is more than I can bear. Unreal experience with a depression hangover sums it up for me. Best of luck to you all as we will continue watching you in your future projects.

Ren Feb 10 2023 11:20 am From the title itself, The Interest of Love, the story shows what a person can do for the sake of love. Though, I think it reflects in negative side, it conveys a story that could possibly happen to anyone in real life. This show brought me a roller coaster ride of emotions that anyone can relate.

It leaves different kind of relationships between two people and families. The First Love (So Gyeong-Pil and Park Mi-Gyeong), the TOTGA (The one that got away) (Jeong Jong-Hyeon and Ahn Su-Yeong), the Greatest Love (Ha Sang-Su and Ahn Su-Yeong).

I think its a good show added with the unexceptional acts by the main characters and the supports. It leaves me in pain and tears as I felt what the story implies and how it was delivered by the actors.

Amyjay Riconalla Feb 10 2023 10:46 am I admire the scriptwriter, director, & the cast. With a great start, the ending could have ended greater.

But the performances were superb!

me Feb 10 2023 9:07 am I liked it. I liked the performances of the four leads and the supporting actors.

Fajrina Feb 10 2023 8:38 am Why do i feel i've been robbed after seeing the ending? After all emotional rides from beginning until ending, i feel so much loss instead of full.

Still loving YYS and MKY anyway. Looking forward for their next project with better scripts. And begin to adore Keum Sae-Rok here, she's so beautiful and talented!

Kimchi Feb 10 2023 6:36 am This type of drama/story does not mind getting rating low......very very low.....

May Feb 10 2023 5:56 am Im getting bored ?. Will they end up together Su yeong and Sang su? Getting sleepy ? #TheInterestOfLoveEp16

Mitha Feb 10 2023 5:27 am Bad story, sad story! Su Yeong just played Sang Su's feeling, it's not worthy to wait her for 4 years ! Wasting time to watch this drama !

Jojo Feb 10 2023 5:24 am What a long boring drama, snooze fest at best. Would not recommend. The storyline was scattered and the main characters were just lost, still not sure what they were on about by the end of the series, a real time waster.

Rock Feb 10 2023 5:20 am Worst kdrama i have ever watched total waste of time. Acting is great but the story and characters are very bad. Not even a good ending. Even the ending is full of confusion . Only OST are good. I recommend not to watch this drama as there is nothing as such which will make you feel good. There is only ups and downs which is not good for your mood.....

Mlarky Feb 10 2023 5:00 am Concur! A waste (of time). Not even a hand holding at the end. The drama should have been called Regret. All the should haves and now walking into more regret. I need to watch something uplifting to get me off the floor of regret for watching.

Koreanatic Feb 10 2023 4:45 am Not recommended for watching.Bad for your health??.Since you will think and regret those time you wasted!

Charmed Feb 10 2023 4:12 am I want to slap the female character lead lol (the character not the actress). She is enjoys a tragic life. Life is difficult enough but she enjoys making hers and the people around her more difficult with all her non-sensical s#*t!

My love lee min ho Feb 10 2023 3:58 am The only good things coming from watching this drama was the ost wonder why. Lol without this song the drama will be even more disappointing.

Maggi Feb 10 2023 2:22 am Well, i just wasted my time watching this drama. I love the lead cast but I'm very frustrated of the ending. I was hoping for the happy ending but i got disappointed. ???

Gary the snails Feb 10 2023 1:55 am Honestly, I watch Kdramas to release my stress, but after finished this one, now I'm depressed,

Gary Feb 10 2023 1:18 am Well I hope the writer and Netflix are happy because a lot of people are clearly not including me. At least they could have embraced and kissed and walked away holding hands. Everyone loves a good ending. After all the time watching this we deserved something better. It built you up hoping for a happy ending and then just ends with the feeling you have just been robbed. When you are my age where you can’t go forwards and you don’t have the past to remember, it just leaves you……………………………………….

Jess Feb 10 2023 12:23 am One of the worst dramas I have ever seen with the worst female lead I have ever seen in a kdrama. Poor Jonghyeon is all I have to say. And poor me for wasting over 16 hours of my life on this crap.

Vicky Feb 09 2023 11:31 pm I don't even want to waste any more of my time than I already have watching this drama. Its a shame as this story "could" have been told much better in less than 12 episodes, but they stretched it to the breaking point. They made so many bad choices that it drove me crazy. I would have forgiven all had they written a better ending, however the ending was disappointing...no infuriating! I could go into more details but Bob (see his comments below) has made the point much better than I could.

Gin Feb 09 2023 10:57 pm This drama is full of regret and the story makes me regret wasting my time completing the 16 eps, when my purpose was solely following YYS, my heart feel sad for him. The FL, She with her pride and her same smile till the end, gosh I don't like her character.

Caro Feb 09 2023 10:37 pm So much could have been dine with this drama. The chemistry between the main actors was palpable, the supporting cast were excellent and the cinematography was terrific. However, the storyline was a complete disappointment on so many levels. I had expectations the series might render some of the sophistication of “Something in the Rain” but it didn’t. Instead we got a circular story of a passionate love story going nowhere for no particular reasons other than some vague, stupid, enigmatic, read between-the-line comments given by the leading lady whilst gazing lovingly at the leading man. Then just when they looked like getting together she’d once more just disappear into oblivion or he’d seem to have second thoughts and the circularity would start again. Who does this in real life? Nobody with an ounce of commonsense or any concern for their mental health, that’s for sure. If you want to watch 16 hours of pure frustration served up very slowly with no positive outcomes for any of the couples in the final episode I’d recommend you watch “The Interest of Love”. But if self torture isn’t something you’re into then I strongly urge you to just give it a miss.

Tamara Feb 09 2023 10:01 pm Waste of time! I would further waste my time to explain why it was such a waste of time.

Fots Feb 09 2023 9:19 pm This show was a disappointment. Ahn Su-Yeong character was dry and very dismal. She didn't offer enough emotions and substance to have these guys falling for her like that. Well as far as Jeong Jong-Hyeon's character, I can see why he loved her. But Ha Sang-Su was really pathetic and painful to watch. His character was really wimpy and immature. Park Mi-Gyeong had a lot of substance and emotions to her character which I enjoyed watching. I think she and Jeong Jong-Hyeon were the most realistic and developed characters that made sense for real life. But Ahn Su-Yeong's bottled up, calm and quiet disposition just didn't do it for me. She was a jerk, even to her father. She plotted a disaster and didn't seem regretful. This was not a good drama.

Ronald Tan Feb 09 2023 9:17 pm Dissappointing! The writer of this drama either had never love before or trying to be 'naughty' with real love. Both Sang Su and Su Yeong were truly in love with each other, but the writer used this to turn the love upside now so that audience will want to watch till the end. The world is already suffering. Rich or poor are the same. Dramas helps to lighten one's life. But this drama did the opposite. Made everyone angry and depressed, especially the last two episodes. Don't watch the last two , waste of time as it was poorly done and communication is so poor...Like what Sang Su replied to Su Yeong in the end..'Absolutely Nothing! . The last two episodes should be removed and just hang there...it will make us feel more positive and more hopeful amd this enjoy watching. True love does not work this way ...

Starhigh Feb 09 2023 7:35 pm I hope next time Moon Ka Young will choose a better script.. It's like she wasted her beauty and talent on this series

Sky Feb 09 2023 6:58 pm This is one of the most cumbersome series I’ve seen recently what an ending!… with so much frustration. Loved the actors and they delivered well but the script is nothing to write home about after learning about all their mistakes they still didn’t make any effort it’s all talk. Anyways the comments here was more interesting than the movie. I had a good company here. Thanks to y’all

Unda Feb 09 2023 6:23 pm I knew from the start there won't be any happy ending in this series. It's JTBC's drama. Most likely the end in something that hanging around or sad ending. What's odd is i know how slow they are, the story. Too easy in some parts, but too hard in the others. But still i watched till last episode. Not like the way i want it to be ended, but then i realize, nothing can be more complicated than the feelings. Uncertainty, depression, worries, not mention if you added some life trauma. Way too complicated. But i enjoyed watching it.

Mike Feb 09 2023 6:05 pm Not going to spend time trying to make sense out of this 16 episode slog which, after viewing the finale, could have neatly resolved itself in 6…or less. A writer knows you need to have a reason for writing the story and within the outline it must have an introduction, rising action, denouement, falling action and an ending. Granted it is tough to do in episodic storytelling. Newer K Dramas (modern day) are popping up with only 12 and are better for it…some leaving you wanting more. It’s a nice thing to see. I don’t consider myself to be dense but the writer of I of L wrote a mood piece with little consideration of pacing and plot. The entire show was a depressing one trick pony episode after episode and the viewer scores in Korea sank after the first couple of weeks. Even the most popular Stars in that or any other country can fall victim to a mediocre to lousy script. There were some nice touches in I of L but they never went anywhere in advancing the story. No one speaking, or explaining, or anything emotionally valuable in the context of the series ever bore fruit. The ending was ridiculously ambiguous causing me to throw my remote across the room. The leads showed they could brood and cry. The rest of the cast did as well as could be expected. I was certainly glad I skipped as much of the periphery as I did. So many better K Romances, comedies, cop shows and more are out there now. This one…pass on it unless you’ve been too happy lately. For those who are miserable and want company…this one’s for you!

Monica Rosas Feb 09 2023 5:50 pm This series moved so slow. The actors always replied with"what", when asked a question and they took forever to reply. I disliked the main actress. No romance what so ever!! Everyone looked depressed or angry. I was rooting for Ms. Park though

NajNaj Feb 09 2023 5:47 pm Just finished watching last episode for the second time with my heart still beating... one word... beautiful story... beautiful acting as always... i couldn't imagine a beautiful ending more than that... i prefere imagine that they finaly get mature to face There imotion and finish together.... simply love it!!

Nora Rios Feb 09 2023 4:42 pm What a somber melancholy romance? Kdrama. It moved along like molasses, with no real chemistry or tidbits of actual sweet romance Ive enjoyed in other kdramas. The female lead was devoid of any real emotions hence it was painful to watch. Ending was blah and regretted having watched an entire 16 episodes waiting to see a turnaround. Sorry but a double thumps down

Eni Feb 09 2023 1:17 pm How is it possible that Ha Sang Su connects with Park Mi Gyeong so easily and is so confused by his love Ahn Su Yeoong, a drama with slow pace and tiring, the last part not exciting as the beginning and the end are the same!

sameera Feb 09 2023 1:08 pm They are the worst cuple they deserve each other’s i hope the end means that they end up together and makes each other’s miserable forever

Cute i pie Feb 09 2023 12:34 pm Ugh, I watch dramas to release my stress, but now I'm depressed

sf Feb 09 2023 12:32 pm Thank God, it is finished. Execrable script with the most detestable character Ah Su Yeon.

Zana Feb 09 2023 12:27 pm What a beautiful unforgettable piece of art this drama is. Wow. Blown away. If you loved dramas like My Mister, Misaeng, My liberation notes etc then this is for you. If you don't like complex emotions or don't understand them, go and watch business proposal ? this drama is for those who have been through or understand trauma, inferiority complex, self sabotage and avoidance attachment styles. Every single line, every frame was just so well thought out, written and directed. The acting was so natural. I'm rooting for the two main leads to sweep the awards. I don't think I will get over this drama for some time. It's haunting.

Kimchi Feb 09 2023 12:15 pm Finale....I try very hard to digest what happen at the end....after 4 years on , and numerous time dumped by Su yeong, Sang Soo still don't get it... Why is it hard for them to have the closure??...Just like him and Mi Gyeong... Poor Mi Gyeong...

AL Feb 09 2023 11:50 am The Saddest Drama I ever saw, definitively not my kind of drama. I loves Ka-Young and Yeon-Seok acting but the story is very complicated and frustating, it didn´t allow them to express the most of their capabilities. I can´t wait to see them in a rom-com or an action drama to wash away this memory.

Bblve07 Feb 09 2023 11:41 am So many negative comments here, but still love this masterpiece, even those dialogues still have a strong impact on me. We all have difference types of genre, but on my own, this drama caught my attention, and I understand Mun ka yang character's here. I think I can relate to her the way she always put barrier on her heart and life due to social status.

ML Feb 09 2023 11:35 am Watching this series was a total waste of time... People not knowing how to communicate is unreal. Maybe they wanted to portray how psychopaths deal with relationships.

Maameeli Feb 09 2023 9:55 am A waste of talents in this drama. Not recommended. Literally I got nothing from this drama. Still love you Yeon -Seok...

Blue banana Feb 09 2023 6:17 am IMO, This is the best drama for those who want to feel depressed. Go ahead and make yourself suffer.

Mlarky Feb 09 2023 2:43 am Ugh don’t like the last line from Sang-gu. Something bad is going to happen. I need a happy romcom to wash away this feeling of dread.

Jose Feb 09 2023 1:33 am SPOILER ALERT

That last thing he says on episode 15 is just brutal , either one will die or idk whats going on , i hope its not too predictable and sad!

Kimchi Feb 08 2023 11:35 pm The ending will be no one is ended with anyone. The end...let's move on!

Jenn Feb 08 2023 10:50 pm LMAO, definitely this is an acquired taste for people who wanna watch dramas about misery and heartbreaks. I’m sorry, not sorry, I’m more of an optimistic person always trying to find the best in everything, whether that be in my every day life or Korean dramas. I bet you’re a young viewer. I Use to love all genres of Korean dramas but as I aged I have found that the best ones that Work For Me are those that are happy and rom-coms Like Crash Course in Romance. I’m sorry young grasshopper, but this is a public comment site, I’m basically here to give future possible viewers of this drama some insight on this drama and recommending IF they should watch or not. I’m not putting no gun up to people’s heads and saying they Have to skip this drama, I’m simply stating to skip it if you don’t like toxic dramas ??‍♀️… I don’t know about you but if I was told this drama sucked from the beginning by people who have seen it I would Not have started on this pathetic played out toxic drama in the first place.. I’m sorry I was not trying to compare Crash Course to this one, I was just simply saying, if you like brighter, more airy, new storyline with a breath of fresh air then give Crash Course a try. It definitely is a whole different mood and vibe from this dry one. I was just simply saying, there’s another drama airing right now as we speak and I’d rather watch the other one than this one. Damn! Look at you being butt hurt about what I like or don’t like or what I recommend or don’t recommend. It’s nice to have reviews from everyone and open-ended discussions. You are entitled to your own opinion of this drama and so am I. You coulda simply just have made your own post about how “you recommend this drama and why” but you wanna come at me, LMAO! I’m sorry I pushed your button and got you mad. Enjoy the rest of your misery drama….

P.S. this is considered a flop cause even though I never seen ML in a drama before but seeing how everyone is basically watching/drooling over him in this drama for him only— even with his big popularity this drama still couldn’t get past 5% viewership. I watched it for FL because of True Beauty but even with a star-studded cast like this, that alone Still couldn’t even save this crappy drama.

ComeAtMe

WebtoonLover Feb 08 2023 10:47 pm Anybody read webtoons here? It seems as if the story if following the trajectory of the webtoon titled "My Office Noona" except characters are different. ML ends up miserable with someone else while FL finds her happiness somewhere else. Gosh, I need some romcom to wash it off after what seems to be a inevitable 'happy' (all characters find what makes them happy; albeit not together) ending in episode 16.

RuamQauj Feb 08 2023 9:31 pm Episode 15 was disappointing. The writers are being predictable and frustrating for no good reason. It's obvious something was up with the parents. Why didn't they just tell Su-yeong the truth at the beginning. One of them cheated, or not really, and the kids found out. Why didn't the mom or dad just say who it is? What benefit is there to not tell the truth? The same thing with Sang-su not listening to Gyeong-pil, or the recording he sent. It makes no sense for him to not want to, especially since it's obvious that it's a good thing. Unfortunately, this drama seems like it's going to end on a disappointing note. Let's see what the last episode brings.

Ohnmar Feb 08 2023 5:36 pm Really cool drama. Worth to watch it.

monke Feb 08 2023 1:51 pm it's like watching paint dry. but much more annoying. when someone so hellbent in destroying her own life, maybe just let her.

Sigh Feb 08 2023 12:54 pm This drama does move like a snail, there's alot of omg are you serious moments but, you're hoping that the two main stars will end up together....then it's back having watching a drama that may have a disappointing end.

Radom thought, episode 15 gave me a reminder of 21 25 and how pissed off I was on their final episode. Man, I dont know why I even want to know this ending and I have a feeling I'll have 21 25 feelings tomorrow too.

Ant Feb 08 2023 11:19 am As expected, how many times Sang Soo need to be dumped?? Yet he still don't see it. Bad romance from the start.

SHELLIE in USA Feb 08 2023 10:38 am OMG, how can this have any kind of happy ending?? Two more episodes to go. Everybody is so depressing in this drama. I can only HOPE someone ends up happy with each other in the end, whoever it is!

sf Feb 06 2023 7:49 am Su-Yeong did so many stupid things, her behaviour was so irrational, and she hurt herself and many others that she didn't deserve to be happy. In fact, why did she mixt her professional's problem with her love life? She is an irrational being. Sang-Su is too courteous and incapable to say no to Mi-Gyeong's approach. Mi-Gyeong was too clingy. She fell in love with Sang-Su so quikly that she gave me the impresion she did that to make gelous Gyeong-Pil. I have never trusted her. She has moved too fast in Sang-Su's direction. Jeong Jong-Hyeon is a negligible entity with claims that are not justified. In conclusion, I don't want Su-Yeong to end up with Sang-Su. Better to stay alone. Otherwise she will destroy every individuals life.

Tsis Zoo Feb 05 2023 9:24 am At this point, main leads just deserve each other, not for the better but for the worst. I would love to see how far their “love” goes as one is capable of lying and fabricating stories to benefit herself while both are okay with cheating while with other people and the other one will go to the ends to keep someone, even if feelings were never reciprocated. I’m sorry, but if I don’t wanna be with you, please leave me the F alone! My questions are, they worked together for 3 years, it’s obvious ML has liked FL for some time- why now? Why did it take so long for dude to muster up his feelings? Why date others if you don’t like/love them? Why pretend to be okay when you aren’t?, cause we all know how the saying goes, “it’s okay to not be okay.”

I’m just gonna be first to say it, as I read a Reddit forum on this drama but ML does come off stalkerish and creepy. He’s also a contradicting A-hole; telling 2FL to leave him alone even though she likes him so much, but here he is not taking his own advice leaving FL alone. At this point, FL needs some damn space from both guys, and she’s trying to evade but doesn’t look like ML will let her get out of his reach.

Let’s see if he goes to the ends of the earth to find her. Or if he does really give her some space and time fast forwards. I saw that we think she’s going to her hometown but she actually went to a different work building(HQ) to train to get into a higher position and it’ll pick up after she’s rich and lives in a house by the Han River.

If she’s running off to “find her happiness” and purposely chooses to leave you without telling you or bringing you alone while she finds her happiness then she not the one. Also means you ain’t part of her happiness so dude(ML) just needs to leave her TF alone.

All I know is, there WILL be a wedding because of videos I’ve seen, definitely FL’s wedding but “with who” is the real question…. If it’s with ML I wish they never find happiness or are content with one another because honestly, all this coulda been avoided to begin with if she would just stop having misunderstandings. For someone who had to “grow up” and “mature” faster than others her age, she sure lacks the ability to show her emotions, voice her true feelings and process misunderstandings and hesitations. For someone who asks and tells the 2 guys in her life to ask about what happened between her and that coworker and then just abruptly never tells either dude or communicates with them what she feels or what she’s thinking, yeah, that’s real mature and grown. I’m glad both second leads got away from these crazy main leads. They deserve better than these 2 weirdos! I’m rooting for you 2ML, just because you’re broke and poor don’t mean you get to be treated like a charity case, your day will come. I read he does become a police officer. And 2FL, girl!, you escaped from a long life of unhappiness. Break free from ML and go do you Girl! You are worth so much more to someone who will love you with healthy boundaries and let you be you for who who are.

HlubHlub Feb 05 2023 8:36 am Su-yeong is not a like able character for a reason, and she's been consistent. She destroys things that should make her happy. The analogy of the sand castle she made is perfect for her. The question is how should the last two episodes end? For this series to be great, and the only way it doesn't disappoint is if they end up together. Sang-su has promised to protect any sandcastle that she made, to be steady as a rock for her. They both are heading or looking for "future happiness." If the show doesn't make it so that Su-yeong has changed as a character to compensate for her mistakes, hesitation, sadness and insecurity, and give Sang-su what he deserves, I think any other ending would pissed off everyone. This story needs a realistic and happy ending for it to work.

On a side note, if the character Su-yeong is pissing you off then that's the whole point, and Moon Ga-young is doing her job. She's a great actress. She's doing something that's very hard to do, that is playing a despicable character that you can't help but love and root for. Her smiles, posture, stares, sadness, and especially her anger toward her parents are superbly acted. This is her first mature role as an actress and I hope she gets recognized for it when award season comes around.

Rose Feb 04 2023 8:12 pm Same for me, Rebecca. But I did think it was interesting we saw no previews of the next two eps so wonder like someone here if there will be a time jump. Range, but there have been videos of Sang-su getting married to both Mi and Su. It's all kind of misleading. Difficult to care for any of them. Sang-su crying for Mi not to hurt because of him? Okay, if someone you love does not love you back? Gonna hurt, so...not a reasonable plea.

Princess Feb 04 2023 7:03 pm I need to know what’s the name of the song that plays in episode 14 when the ex boyfriend is crying after he receives his books back… can anyone help me out?!

ZooSiab Feb 04 2023 12:36 am It’s great that there’s no preview for the last two episodes. It’s better that way not knowing. I predict that there will be a time jump. Su-yeong probably saved enough money to pursue art school because she is putting herself and her happiness first. Sang-su is going to give her the space she needs. She will come back to find him and ask him to date her and be her lover the way he would have asked. At this point it would be an injustice to not have closure if not a happy ending for her and Sang-su.

FL needs a therapy Feb 03 2023 10:28 pm I don’t approve and I despise both FL and ML.

Hoping for a sad ending for both of them lol they don’t deserve anything

Janelle Feb 03 2023 10:05 pm I’m so tired of how this is dragging out! If SS would just soak up before SY tracks everyone’s world they would be together!

Rebecca Feb 03 2023 2:47 pm I'm enjoying All the comments from viewers more than I like the show. Thanks to everyone for posting!

May Feb 03 2023 9:36 am I'm really crying so hard to Jong hyeon ?. Hevis so pure and kind.

Crying sobbing Feb 03 2023 9:03 am ☝?☝? S P O I L E R A L E R T ☝?☝?

Ep11. Both FL ML are stupid ???

Don’t start anything when u r unsure Don’t cheat even under any circumstances You can sway, but you shouldn’t have cheat

Im getting a headache

haupiamaster Feb 03 2023 6:33 am I think the easter egg here is that SY is still heartbroken about her brother's death. In a flashback, Suhyeok gave SY expired snacks and told her about his dream of having a comfortable life, he told SY that all she has to do is to be happy. Now that he's gone, she feels like she doesn't deserve happiness.

Remember in Ep13 when Gyeongpil answered JH's call and SY dropped it, her wallpaper showed. It's a constant reminder.

Also when I listened carefully to the intro OST (Love Song), it says "Love always comes and goes. And heartache is on next door, this is just how life should be." I feel like it's never gonna be a happy ending for any of them, as reflected in the relationships of their parents and bank members.

I hope it's not too much to ask for the following: -proper closure (or restored relationship) for MY and GP -wedding(?) of Ms. Bae and Mr. Ma -average life for SS -please give acting awards to these actors!!!

Julia Feb 03 2023 4:02 am Hmm. Why they make it so difficult.

Rango Feb 03 2023 1:49 am

- - spoil alert***.....based on YouTube, Su yeong is getting married and took some photos with Sang Su and Mi Gyeong...but the thing is, we do not know who the groom is.

I guess everyone need to be patient until the ending. Haha

NN Feb 02 2023 8:06 pm I agree that FL consistently shows toxic behaviour, but there might be another explanation, which is: the storyline we see so far is not linear.

There is a chance that the series tell the story in forward and backward fashion. Then, what we think as illogical could actually make sense.

For instance, if the story actually starts with SFL works at the office for the first time. At that time, ML and FL already like each other, but have not dated yet. Then, both ML and SFL assign to work as a team, which leads to SFL likes ML. FL and SFL at the same time also develop strong friendship. First date between ML and FL takes place later, but because FL realizes her best friend, SFL, also likes ML, she decides to sacrifice her own feeling by showing coldness towards ML. That is why we are told that FL prefers to hurt herself and people around her. That is also why she decides to date the SML so the ML could end up with FL.

That is only one interpretation of the whole messy situation. But, to know for sure, we need to wait for another week.

Gruvee Feb 02 2023 8:02 pm Yall thinking ASY is runaway or back to her hometwon when actually shes gone abroad to take accounting degree so she can be back with a bang to those people look down on her. In novel, shes back to seoul, got a great gig in intl firm and buy a house in gangnam. Lets see will drama do this too. JJH is passed the exam, and became polide officer. Cant recall about HSS PMK

Rose Feb 02 2023 3:19 pm Best part of 13 was the friend saying he had no appetite but devoured the meal Sang-Su provided. Said again he had no appetite.

Su-Yeoung...she yelled at Sang-Su as to why he did not question her actions? Then, like the mature adult she is, just up and left with no explanation herself. Got it. No Idea what Sang-Su or poor Jeong-Jong see in her at all other than her beauty. But very telling when Su-Yeoung asked Jeong-Jong was he happy with her and he never said yes. No one in the series seems capable of expressing a truth then and there. And is it worth losing a friend, Gyeong Pil, because Su-Yeoung asked you to participate in a grand scale lie? She could have, oh, you know, told both Jeong-Jong and Sang-Su, I want to be alone, leave me alone. No need to torture or lie. I am ready to throw a brick at this series, so, I am feeling you, Park Mi-Gyeong. Just Tell Daddy You Broke Up Already. Yeah, John C, but Sang-Su is Oh So Handsome. I am So Afraid, the writers are going to throw the pregnancy card for Park. Two more episodes. Might as well finish it up despite my claim I would not. I did watch a HAPPY drama afterwards to clear the air so to speak.

John C Feb 02 2023 2:35 pm good acting, characters are very interesting. Ahn Su seems to be hated by all. To me more like the frustrations that many people go thru, relationships, love, achieving goals, just trying to live and find one's place in life. The only thing she has going for herself is that she is beautiful, everyone says so. A lucky one who can get attention by just being, but is a very boring person. Probably the first time being intimate with a man was at her apartment with Jang Hyeon. Does not really have much to offer an experienced man.

Sang-Su, a real nice guy, but, during college did not date. a hard worker who wants to live a happy peaceful live,. Has worked side by side with, (beautiful) Ahn Su for 4 years and not approached her. How much of a man is he, can play hockey and good at golf, but appears very limited if any intimate knowledge of women.

Park Mi-Gyeong, a wealthy well rounded lady who many views seem to hate, too aggressive for most viewers. She knows what she wants and goes after Sang-Su, she can round him out with world experiences. He doesn't love her, however. How is she any different from a man who will relentlessly pursues a women, Sang Su after Ahn Su for an example. Park Mi has a lot in common with Sang Su, both same university, both business people ,can communicate with people. Again Park has more experience, traveled (Paris), art appreciation like Ahn Su. Park, has been in a relationship in college, knows intimacy, does Sang Su ? Park, probably can get plenty of male attention, she needs to kick boring San-Su to the curb.

Jeong-Jong, what am I to say. Appears nice guy just trying to get ahead. Mistake was Ahn Su taking him in, views again seem to be undecided about JJ, look most men or women in the same shape as him would accept a place to live. He may never pass the police exam, maybe he is the right person for Ahn Su the beautiful, both small town, limited education after high school, same family status.

I have just started watching Kdramas, so i have very limited experience, in fact the is the first time i have ever commented about anything, but, really enjoy the sophisticated and knowledgeable comments.

Really am enjoying the Drama, and find that I agree with probably 70% of analysis.

sf Feb 02 2023 12:36 pm Say Ahn Su-Yeong and you say crazy.

NajNaj Feb 02 2023 11:45 am Best drama I saw from a wile... heart broking... a lot of emotions...very good acting.... can't wait for the end... faiting!!!

Ant Feb 02 2023 11:14 am It's a tail....

Iak Feb 02 2023 9:51 am I don’t know, the writer as the original novel was every characters made so bad. The point of view its only negative result. I guess the writer wants us to show the les ons in unique way, but it very childish, no spirit of life, & only hopeless lessons.

Very baddd, the writers must be meet the doctors.

Marinela Feb 02 2023 8:35 am This is the reality that we don t want to see in our daily life, the reality that make me us go go crazy about it: emotions, mistakes, escape of responsabilities, vanity, regret - everything like that exist, so why don't we accept a drama that portrays these aspects that we cannot avoid?

We are, as humans, toxic and we have pride and interests that prevent us from being with the person we love, we re doing our best to live peaceful life without regret, but unfortunately not everything goes the way we want.

This series show us the Korean Society, a judgemntal society, a society where people treat others according to their financial situation, a society that ranks the importance of individuals according to money, a society where money is the key to success and the main gate that opens the way to opportunities. We can see an unfriendly working environment with the personal changes of the employees, they do not make the delimitation between the workplace and personal life of the employees. I appreciate this series, i appreciate the actors and the writer, i think they did a good job in showing us the struggle of those who are in love and of those who live in Korean society.

Insanity Feb 02 2023 3:04 am You hate the plot or you like it. But you cant avoid to watch this. Amazing work of writers and harsh portrait of reality.

Meowww Feb 02 2023 3:01 am Love the show btw guys.

Insanity Feb 02 2023 2:40 am "So Gyeong-Pil" is the Main character here. l am loving his character development.

IbVuag Feb 01 2023 10:47 pm After watching critical moments of this K drama several times over, I think I finally get it why Su-yeong is acting the way she does. People make not like Su-yeong, but if think about it, her character has always been consistent. Since the day her brother died, she's been living a lie, or been lied to by her parents. Her world was flipped upside down, and now her lies are her truth. And she can't faced the truth, until probably after Episode 13, which was superbly done. So what are Su-yeong's lies. She really like Sang-su, and wants to date him, but she lied about it that she wouldn't have dated him even if he kept his promise, if he didn't hesitated. The truth was that it was her who hesitated. Her lie to Sang-su that she's dating Jong-hyeon really led her to date him, all because of a lie, and not because she loves him like a lover but more like a brother or a friend. She exposed her lies again when she lied to Sang-su that she couldn't make it to dinner because she was with Jong-hyeon but Sang-su caught her. She played the lying game with Sang-su after the kiss that she wish she could quit the bank and just hold hands with him, but that's her truth. Now onto Episode 13, why couldn't she just tell Jong-hyeon that their love was over and break up with him, which is what a normal person would do. Well she can't do that because their relationship started with a lie, and not genuine, so she has to break it with a lie. She's been lying to herself, she's been lied to by essentially everyone. If she actually slept with Gyeong-pil, then that would have been against her nature, and it wouldn't have work. Sang-su may have helped Su-yeong break out of her lies when he told her that he just wants to see her and be with her, regardless of her truths or lies. He will suffer with her as she's suffering. Sang-su's truth may eventually lead her to start living her own truth, by putting herself first, by putting Sang-su first as she really feels, and do what makes her happy.

Great things about Episode 13, the break up conversation between Sang-su and Mi-yeong. The truth conversation between Sang-su and Gyeong-pil. The confrontation between Su-yeong and Jong-hyeon. Let's see what Episode 14 brings. Hopefully it gets better.

Nadia Feb 01 2023 10:40 pm From the very beginning no one stopped the ML and FL from being together, so bringing other people into the picture and hurting them in the fight for their love is absolutely cruel and inhumane. Why date someone when you know you are in love with someone else?? And then you hurt the person and now you guys are putting on a sad face and expecting pity? The ML and FL are horrible people, and their partners did not deserve that. No one deserves to be cheated on, if you are tired of the relationship, leave. If you love someone, don’t date someone else. You can’t hurt people all because of your love and put on a pitiful face. I hate them!! Park Mi-Geong is not angry enough, I would have dragged the hell out of them.

Kimchi Feb 01 2023 7:50 pm Ok episode 12...whatever Su yeong and Sang su's friend tried to do is not working. In the process ,more people hurts. Very immature action. Pity of Mi gyeung...she don't deserved to be treated like that. I think the most hated character right now is Su yeong, and that what the writer wants.

Clean Feb 01 2023 7:38 pm In order to understand su yeong's initial behavior why she refuses to date sang su after her initial you hesitated so I am angrybdrama was becacse mikyong had joined the office by then and hebwould hangbout with her, then she suffers from low self confidence all, gets mistreated at work, people already gossip how well off sang su will be with a rich migyong so she backs off as she doesn't want herself to be a reason for him to miss good career opportunities, she thinks after sometime when initial attraction phase will be over he will also look down on her. Whatever happens in e12 is another thing and unrealistic but what she does in the early episodes, choosing not to date, constantly having second thoughts due to low self confidence people do go through these things and people in real world really act this way, that was a very realistic pirtrayal specially coming from a society where status is valued so much and even in school classrooms hierarchy is established as choosing some students as losers who will be bullied and some will be at top of rung.

However, it definitwly doesn't absolve suyong of her mistakes but she js understandable in first 7-8 episodes. What we don't understand is that 2 days ago she accepts jong hyeon's rings, if she wants to end tell that clown she wants a breakup and if he still bothers then gp extreme but she just does it without talking, atleast writers should have given a reason for this mess. She is a mess and I don't care if she finds happiness tho I don't dislike her a lot.

Er Feb 01 2023 7:26 pm Please someone help?I have never seen anything made like this. Totally foolish. This movie is sick,I'm a woman and would never hurt a man like that. If i don't want you I'm not going to play with your feelings. It makes it look bad for a woman. I won t say what it make het look like ,but I'm just glad it's only a movie thing's like does happen in the real word.please do better with your next movie. This was bad.

sf Feb 01 2023 1:41 pm This drama is a long row of aberrant behaviors of all the characters, main or not. But the Goddess of the aberrant behavior is Su-Yeong. I wonder how much time the writers needed to create this chaos?

UnderstanderOfLove Feb 01 2023 1:28 pm @Rebecca The thing with Strongest Delivery Man is that its a bubbly, feel good, romcom while IOL is a more realistic melodrama. While Strongest Delivery Man did address social class, it barely scratched the surface, while IOL touches on it with every single character, in every single episode. You can't get that deep without getting messy. Reality is not pretty and clean. It's not black and white. There is a lot of grey and it gets messy.

Lizzie Feb 01 2023 12:53 pm Really?! So, it took ALL that just for FL to realize she likes ML? This is the most ridiculous drama ever! I have never seen a drama this badly scripted before! She shoulda just gave dude 10 chances at the beginning instead of playing her hard to get games…. My family members have been asking about this drama, I been telling them to not watch it cause they gonna end up mad like me.

If FL is able to lie and fabricate stories like sleeping with dude’s best friend, I don’t even want to know what she may try in the future when she does end up with ML and it’s inevitable but I know their relationship won’t last long, so what comes of it then?— FL gonna come up some ridiculous scheme and dramatic story to make ML not like her no more??? Lmaoooo!!! I just want to die laughing!!! This drama is stupid, dumb and the ratings are a reflection of that. There’s dramas like 2521 where you WANTED the main leads to end up together but they don’t, then there’s drama like this(though rarely) where you just wish main leads don’t end up together! I have been rolling my eyes so much at this drama I swear, I’m sure I lost my eyeballs behind my head somewhere.

I just find it funny that ML be telling 2FL to “not cover for him” but he be doing the SAME exact thing by almost beating up dudes for speaking ill of his infatuated love for FL. At this point, all these people aren’t even in love, more like lust only!

Couple points to give to minors or younger generation watching this: 1) Be true to yourself, don’t let your bad past, bad family history or trauma take over your life. Everyone is raised differently and goes through different life traumas but don’t let that be the end of you or your happiness. 2) Be kind, don’t matter if you rich or dirt poor- social status is only temporary. We all gonna die and be buried 6 feet under the same. 3) Please make sure you know yourself and trust yourself first before getting into any sort of relationships with others. Don’t lead people on but also don’t be overly obsessed either. 4) Draw boundaries on your love, care and compassion for others. Show sympathy but end it at that. Don’t pretend it’s love between 2 people if it ain’t. 5) Please don’t lead people on or play hard to get. The grass IS sometimes greener on the other side if you close yourself off and then soon realize others are happy where you shoulda been, please be open-minded. Don’t play games, don’t play hard to get cause we all know how the saying goes “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” 6) If ever in a situation like this in real life, choose the one that loves you, more. You don’t need the one who gets mad at you for hesitating. Hesitation is something all humans have to go through at some point or another in their lives, don’t let what follows your hesitation be a punishment for you hesitating.

Kaye Feb 01 2023 4:36 am I think PMG is pregrant and got married on HSS based on the opening of ep 9 they have married picture and some sort of children book/baby book, and in ep 9 or 10 PMG is throwing up when she stopped the car when HSS try to break up with her. I also think that HSS is a reponsible man and dont want PMG to be like her mother, a single mother so he chose to marry her or PMG father threaten him..but I hope HSS and ASY will end up together they really love each other but because of the misunderstanding between them they cant be together..I dont like JJY for ASY I feel he is cheating with her friend CSJ and his hust using ASY because ASY is popular in the bank and she knows her family vice versa..waiting for episode 13 tonight!

PS. Yoo Yeon Seok looks like Oh Se Hun of EXO! ???

CrazyRichAsia Feb 01 2023 2:57 am I usually like slice of life, slow-paced kdramas (, but this one is an exemption (kudos to the writers though for making it toon emotion provoking too ignore ?) -- this is too annoying, but I want to keep watching it (also because Yoo Yeon-Seok and Moon Tae-Yoo are in it) -- just because I want all of them esp the main leads, to Not End Up Together in the end.

Mi-gyeong is manipulative in most ways, but at the end if the day, she loves Sang-su more than anything or anyone else and Sang-su cheated on her, she was trying her best to be a good person for Sang-su, but jealousy and Sang-su's actions got the best of her which is understandable given all the events that has happened so far (currently on episode 11).

Sang-su and Su-yeong are the main leads, but I just can't help but despise their characters. Cheating is cheating no matter what the circumstances are, and Su-yeong is ANNOYING. I get it, she had an unfortunate circumstance growing up and she was greatly affected by her brother's death, BUT she could have chosen to move forward from it in a better way and not by isolating herself and feeling guilty about moving on and being happy. Blaming her past for her current behavior is unacceptable and immature in my opinion.

One of the few KDramas wherein I am really hoping that the leads don't end up together -- because no matter what the excuse is, cheating and sel-pity are never okay, let's not normalize it.

Anyway, I want a happy ending for Gyeong-Pil --> he's chraracter is the best one in this drama in my opinion. ?

Rebecca Jan 31 2023 11:04 pm To UnderstandingOfLove: I appreciate and totally agree with your perspective. AND, it's challenging to get past the painful personalities of the lead characters. Other K dramas have done a much better job of weaving social class issues and romance such as Strongest Delivery Man.

Gimmechoco44-wiki24x7 Jan 31 2023 2:27 pm This looks great. Thin and attractive slanted eyes. I am going to watch this and create a Wiki page too.. that's what I do beside revert revert revert

UnderstanderOfLove Jan 31 2023 11:18 am I honestly think this show is more about social hierarchy in Korean society than it is about love. The whole drama is built on social status and everything else on top of that is just extra including the romance. When you understand their motives as coming from a social stand point, it makes sense what they are doing. None of these characters are as despicable as people are making them out to be. I feel people just love to hate.

Rebecca Jan 31 2023 10:04 am Lar, Thanks for the reminder about E1. That was actually funny when Sangsu made the comment about Suyeong. It's a good reminder that he knew what he was getting into. I agree with people's comments that this is a realistic show about the complications and frustrations of being in love and I hope some younger viewers can learn something from the show. Probably for older viewers like me the show is too much of a painful reminder about how sometimes love is blind. I'm glad I have to wait between these final episodes so I can more clearly decide whether it's worth it to watch the last 3 episodes.

Star Jan 31 2023 2:13 am It's pissing me off! But I just can't stop watching it.. haha

Lar Jan 30 2023 4:48 pm I'm rewatching TIOL the 3rd time and Sangsu mentioned this already since Ep1: Suyeong is a b*tch. She's manipulative and wants security before jumping into a relationship. I'm all for promoting So Gyeongpil as the main lead! He's the only character I studied on my previous rewatch. I'm actually considering that he will end up with Suyeong because he called SY's father "abeoji" when their restaurant just opened in Ep2! More of Moon Taeyoo please!!!

joli Jan 30 2023 2:12 pm Stupidest female lead character ever! I hope she does not get happy ending. Just plain stupid!

ginglekitty Jan 30 2023 1:29 am I hope Su Yong does not end up with either Ha Sung Su or Jeong Jong-Hyeon. Neither of these guys are good enough for her. I hope she accidentally meet a handsome filthy rich guy and they fall for each other fast, ending up leaving Korea and going to Europe to start a great romantic adventure and she gets to have a fantastic life. I am sure the story won't go in that direction as I hope for. I have never been a fan of Hospital Play List or this actor but Yoo Yeon-Seok is great in his role, and Mun Ka-Young is at her best. I am mostly taken by Moon Tae-Yoo as I find him captivating in his role. I wish they had publicized this Kdrama more instead of boring shows like Love in Contract.

Clowning Jan 29 2023 8:23 pm I am ready to see sang su die joining and playing any of the squid games than beinng married to migyong pos.

Rose Jan 29 2023 6:30 pm Yes, Ant, but there was also a scene with Sang-su meeting Ahn in a hotel room and that never happened. She was wearing the same clothes as the night she supposedly met his friend for whatever. Very confusing. We all seem to be attached to Sang-su's Mom. She is the least confusing. I have to balance this series with another series where it has a happy ending. Still not sure I will watch this one until the end. I say that every episode.

IbVuag Jan 29 2023 9:41 am Regardless of how frustrating this drama is, Moon Ga-young is beautiful and she's really really good. The way she's so constant in a sad and melancholic way and the way she stares is achingly beautiful that you want to love her, root for her, and see her happy despite all the bad decisions she has made. Clearly, her character is afraid of deep love, especially the kind of love that Sang-su offers, not because she's of afraid of being hurt, or have been hurt, but she's afraid of hurting him and disappointing him most, because that is how much and deeply she loves him too. The love they have for each other is pure and real, they are most happy when they are with each other, it's so obvious that they should be together. This drama still has a chance to stick the landing and make it worth the twists and turn. It better not take the route of 2521. There was no reason for that drama to end the way it does except to literally build up hopes for the audience just to disappoint them.

sf Jan 29 2023 5:23 am This creature, Ahn Su-Yeong, is dangerous. She takes the most stupid, absurd and illogical decisions regarding her love life. She is as whimsical as an adolescent. You cannot trust her. She was supposed to talk to Sang-Su about them, but what she does next? She accepted to be Jong-Hyeon's girlfriend. Every single phrase that she herds from others changes her behaviour automatically. You cannot trust her. She is not constant, maybe she thinks that she can change every day her decisions about her love affair life because of her title of "goddess of.... something". At this stage, I wish her to remain forever unmarried or to be married to the good-for-nothing Jong-Hyeon.

Frida Jan 29 2023 1:32 am I don’t know where to start. The lack of character of the ML who is a pushover, his so called girlfriend who is incredible selfish, always pushy and clingy. What about the mixed up Ms Ann, playing with everyone’s feelings, financially supporting and dating the poor, literally, Security guy. The frustrated and gossipy co-workers. And last but not least, the violation of human rights towards women accepted as the norm. My God!! What an environment. I started watching this series because of Mr Yoo, who l followed on Mr. Sunshine where he was excellent. I just finished #12, that’s it for me, sorry.

Fajrina Jan 29 2023 12:12 am I think the only sane character in this frustrating drama is Sang Su's mom. Everyone is crazy omg ?

I hope I can endure all these pains until the last episode because I'll stick to the end just to see Yoo Yeon Seok's smiles

... Jan 28 2023 10:50 pm Ugh these 4 leads are my favorite actors and actresses but their characters are getting on my nerve badly

Iknowright Jan 28 2023 9:43 pm Our su yong is inspired by le serafim's anti fragile so she feeds that parasite and goes self destroy mode []_ __[]

                                                                       [       ]

BOO Jan 28 2023 9:31 pm Why does she keep giving him money!!! He needs to grow up and take care of her not the other way around. Generally I never side with those who cheat but enough already get together and try to work it out. Maybe because they were dating first is why. But the guy lacks being a man and she makes him look pathetic

Suzanne Jan 28 2023 6:45 pm This is the most difficult & frustrating drama I’ve watched yet & I believe I’ve seen over 100. All the actors are doing a great job, but the storyline is crazy! First of all, those co-workers should really mind their own business & stop asking couples, who dated once or twice, if they’re dating & when are they getting married.?Su-yeong’s inability to give straight answers to pertinent questions & her over-reaction to something like…a hesitation is extremely annoying. I appreciate her kindness to Jong-Hyeon & to try dating, but once she & Sang-su restarted their romance, couldn’t she suggest they just be roommates & friends & not sleep together while she sorts out her feelings? And while Jong-Hyeon was a refreshing & innocent young man initially, when he starts moping & promises to move out, why would Su-Yeong go on dates & accept a ring??‍♀️Jong-Hyeon becomes sickening clingy so it’s time to end that relationship! And while Mi-Gyeong is a lovely, kind & fun character, she is So pushy, Sang-su should have grown a backbone & told her to ST?P already! When & If he decides he wants to get serious, she’ll be the first to know! Mi-Gyeong gets So clingy, pushy, manipulative & weird, I’m reminded of Glen Close in Fatal Attraction! Creepy & Scary! And besides, Sang-Su did nothing wrong to begin with! Since when was hesitating before meeting a crush on your first date a crime? And it seems to me he should have put a restraining order on Mi-Gyeong. Are Korean parents actually that pushy to get their daughters married off?? My favorite character is Sang-Su’s mother, she’s the only person who is level headed. And while I like Sang-Su & always like Yoo Yeon-Seok’s acting, I hope he doesn’t screw up anymore. However, there are 4 more episodes, plenty of time for self destruction of all of these characters. I’d rather see them ALL go their separate ways than for Sang-su & My-Gyeong or Su-Young & Jong-Hyeon stay together or, Heaven forbid, get married!

Yoshay Lama Lindblom Jan 28 2023 2:51 pm This is one of the loveliest dramas in the lines of My Mister & Lost. I love the pace and the mood. Relationships between people working in the same office are often mired in complications. There is the professional aspect of it that one must always keep up with, and then there's that personal aspect, especially if one falls in love with a colleague. It's not easy at all. Then there's the class issue. It's well-handled and tries to explore the class segregation in modern Korea. The pensive mood adds to the weight of the storyline, and the cast is just fantastic. It's one of the best mature romantic dramas out there.

Hemo Jan 28 2023 1:09 pm Aside from the slow display the ML YYS is a magnificent actor .I continue watching this drama because of him ; he can portrait any kind of emotion or collection of emotions as he drinks water god bless him

Monesha Jan 27 2023 10:52 pm This drama doesn't have life, it is dull. The characters seem tired all the time. What kind of drama is this? Somewhat, it potrays real life issues but it lacks in a way. As for Sang-Su, Su-Yeong and Jong-Hyeon they seem extremely tired or is it how their humble backgrounds and kindness are supposed to be potrayed? if that's the case, it was too extreme They move like robots! They are heavy in character.

Meow Jan 27 2023 9:13 pm Thanks akita it was very well summed up. Specially on jeong hyon and su yong. Jh is the typical predator kind. As of sy if she is a hopeless person i dont think she deserves happiness because given her attitude the moment she will find it she will ruin it. She should live alone.

akita Jan 27 2023 8:10 pm I think, the aim of this drama is to shake some people to realize these people are real in the outside world:

1. migyeong is just ultra rich brat and sang su big mistake was accepting her when she ochastrated the jogging setting and many other things prior and after. She is the portrayal that rich people with super nice exterior hides the ulterior dark selfish desires using the power to have their own ways.

2. Jeong jun is the typical uneducated but attractive guy who dreams big and aim sympathetic women to rely on everything. He will play super nice gentlemen at the beggining, swamp you with tons of tender, loving care and keep saying saranghae repeatedly but at the same time suck out all your goodness and manipulate everything. Playing victim and weak where the truth is he is not study hard enough. Said he want to move out but still there. This guy should rot in hell!

3. Sang su is the typical guy next door and trap with the super nice brat who give you sweet nice words like the witch in hansel and gratel. He is the nice husband material.

4. Anh su yeong. This is the potrayal of stupid woman who give in to everything from the first place. Sacrifice herself like candle burning??? Ok fine she hurt like hell when Sangsu hesitated to come for their first date but after that and many attempts by sang su, why the hell she plays hard to get and accept that good for nothing guard? I cannot stand stupid woman who seems smart at first but made many unacceptable decisions for what? For a mere guard by her side where all these years she was independent enough?

5. Lesson learnt if any, please ladies.. Dont Ever Be Like Su Yeong. Please be decisive, ignore all those nasty co workers and stay true to your heart. Su yeong is simply pathetic and being undecisive and insecure and easily feel sorry to people like jeong jun can destroy other people life and make unneccessary ripples. Silent is definitely not the way of life. Speak up and stand for yourself!!!

Normally in kdramas, the lead characters will grow to be more likeable but in this one, you end up asking what kind of drama is this? The only wonderful ladies in this drama is Sang su mom and kcu bank senior seo ming hee.

Why am i wasting my time watching this? But i just have to finish it to the end. 4 episodes and 2 weeks left. Goshhhh

Meoowwww Jan 27 2023 3:25 pm And people who say they understand migyeong can they explain how would they defend her total refusal to breakup with him with her mindset that he shouldn't breakup whether he cheats or not? Did he enter a jail or a relationship that to her once he's in he can't leave even if there is no other woman in sight? If this behavior was shown by a male lead would you guys still defend or call for his arrest on grounds of being an obsessive stalker and psychotic bf? Then how can people say we understand migyong's total refusal to breakup when she is not doing it only because he is cheating she is telling him whether other woman exists or not she wants him to stay with her. Didn't she secretly warn him in car in episode 4 or 5 when she forcefully announces dating to colleagues and had a dinner with them, after that she tells sang su since our relationship is public would you not like to never end it? We knew what is happening now is what she meant back then. If you objectively look at it, dating her is just like getting in relationship with a psychotic person (such people are shown as murderers in other dramas and films) who is determined she won't let you go and since her dad is in control of her workplace so firstly she will do maximum to stop the guy from breaking up and when all else fails she will ruin his career. And this is all without any ahn su yong or xyz woman in picture, writers have shown clearly this is what mi gyeong is. Sang su is the victim here.

Call ahs all kind of names, she is actually an effed up person who deserves self destruction, but atleast explain how mi gyeong's nutjob behavior is justified and how sang su is not a victim?

Meowwww Jan 27 2023 2:41 pm @sf yes ahn su yeong is a b..tch but she became 1 because of b...ches like mikyeong around her and due to abusive, manipulative and gossipy people around her like mr yuk, her colleagues and sexist colleagues from other branch. She is too complicated unnecessarily but here what she does is to stop any effort from mikyeong to use her dad to destroy sang su's career, the woman threatened suyong twice about it, she threatened sang su many times about it. Even co workers say sang su's biggest threat is his father in law. People are angry at sang su for kissing being in a relationship, but would she have broken up with even if he told her before kissing?

And I don't care whatever happens to a loser like jong hyeon, su yeong had been feeding, baby sitting him while taking his tantrums quietly without saying even a word of anger or revenge and yet he is bringing his two bit side chick to insult his gf, bad mouthing her behind her back, don't know why she put him in that situation at work but she did give it back really good to that uneducated guard who thought he is a caveman who can come and abuse his gf at work when she is feeding, clothing his back.

Atleast now mikyong can't go around spreading rumors on asy and hss affair as asy is pretty much linked with other two guys. However, she can use her dad to get sang su fired from the bank. Imagine being so twisted to take away one's livelihood because he didn't want to marry you and because she is a psychopath who wants to own him. Anyone in sang su's place who is forced in such relationship would commit suicide or lose his mind.

Dora Jan 27 2023 1:10 pm At this rate, I don't care if ML and FL do not end up together.

Bearbearbears Jan 27 2023 10:26 am I pretty much echo the collective opinion here.

First off I like the acting and the cast. This drama is slightly different from others in that the acting is believable and not melodramatic and cringey. However, how the characters interact and develop their relationships is unrealistic and painful to watch. The whole premise is unrealistic and the huge misunderstandings could've been solved with honest conversations. But if they had done that, the season would've ended at 3 episodes lol. The writing makes mountains out of molehills.

I don't understand why Su yeong has to make everything so complicated. Why drag it out?!?!?! You usually try to root for the main character, but she makes it so difficult. She can't be honest with her feelings, lies to others, plays hard to get, and hurts those who care about her. It's getting harder and harder to find redeeming qualities by the 12th episode. Mi gyeong is also frustrating to watch, but I at least understand where she is coming from.

The social class hierarchy is overemphasized. Two people from different financial statuses can make it work if they get over their own prejudices, support one another, and communicate honestly. At this point, I just hope the last few episodes give some satisfaction to this absurdly slow progression. I can't count how many times I had to fast forward through the unnecessary silences, lingering stares, and flashbacks. *eye roll*.

akita Jan 27 2023 9:38 am Too many plot twist. Too slow. I cannot understand why su yeong make everything complicated, too f***ed up. The storyline slowly turn your liking to su yeong to hatred.

I even started to hate Jeong who really take advantage on su yeong and not manly enough to break free from her.

SY, MK and JJ are started to pissed everyone off and since it's 4 episodes left, i just have to bear with this time wasting kdrama. What a waste of good actors for such a pathetic storyline

Goshh... better watch chinese drama xinxia.

seina Jan 27 2023 9:27 am this is so crazy... good screenplay, good acting, well I like the story tho even though sometimes su young make me frustrating hahaha

Kay Jan 27 2023 9:00 am I strongly believe Ahn Su-Yeong is hesitant to accept all that love being offered by Ha Sang-Su because she does not want to be her father who made an unforgivable mistake of cheating on her mother.

Unfortunately, history repeats itself and there’s nothing we can do about our feelings when it comes to love. After all, we are humans.

Nda Jan 27 2023 8:59 am Please, the plot is too slow! It was pissing me off, on how the characters cannot speak up their mind clearly in just one or two scene. I dont really get what Ahn Su Yeong wants, and why she makes it so complicated!

sf Jan 27 2023 7:49 am I watched this drama starting from episode 5 or 6 I do not remember exactly. But, after ep 12 I watched the first episode too, and I arrived at the conclusion that Ahn Su-Yeong is really a b---h.

Elvera Jan 27 2023 4:38 am While always a great fan of all Korean programs, this one can't seem to get out of first gear. The hiatus between the characters dialogue is very frustrating. It's like they can't get out of first gear.

PK Jan 27 2023 2:48 am Good story line, good directing, good actors and fun to watch this soapy drama. The next four episodes will be even more heart beating to watch as thing getting dirty. Those two persons, MJ and JJ are now so are on the edge of getting dump and getting furious. Their bad side is keep piping. While SS is very confused but steady for his love with SY. SY and YP is playing trick on JJ and mJ for sure but give an after shock to SS. The writer of this drama is very sneaky but damn clever creating chaos atmosphere. So, have to wait how this will settled where as not many Korean drama do not know how to do the drama soft landing well.

MobPim Jan 27 2023 12:39 am Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???? All the characters are getting pathetic. With only 4 episodes left it’s going to end horribly. Will be disappointed for sure. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????

Christine Jan 27 2023 12:21 am I've read through dozens of comments and wonder if anyone else wishes Su-yeong would leave the show. She seems cold, manipulating, and not worth the love and friendship she is offered. Giving JJ the money she got from selling the clothes her frenemy gave her has been one of her few acts of compassion. I really hope Sang-su finds someone who deserves him in the last episode. I don't always need a happy ending to a show but redemption or justice would be nice. Not sure I'll finish this show as long as Su-yeong's character stays in it.

RuamQauj Jan 26 2023 11:35 pm This show is pissing me off. What is wrong with this and most K dramas is that they treat the characters and the audience too stupidly. Clearly Su-yeong and the friend planned the whole thing. He told her how he broke up with Mi-yeong. They both want to protect Sang-su, which is stupid because what they did will hurt him and the boyfriend even more. This is too stupid and unrealistic. I would also predict that the father didn’t cheat on Su-yeong’s mom, which was why she forgave him. It’s actually her brother who dated or loved someone who he wasn’t supposed to and her father found out, then her brother killed himself. The father blamed himself and did not want Su-yeong to know the truth. By protecting her he has only hurt her even more, the way she’s hurting both guys. All too predictable and stupid.

Debbie Jan 26 2023 11:25 pm This drama is toying with my emotions so much. Don’t get me wrong I do love the series but it gets so complicated when it doesn’t need to. Mi gyeong in my opinion is greedy and patronising. Sang su and Ms Anh deserve to be together. Just finished watching Episode 12 and saw parts of episode 13. Now I am very confused as to why Ms Anh would sleep with someone else or is this just something that Mi gyeong has concocted. Can’t wait until episode 13. My goodness if it was me I would drop everything for Sang Su. What a lovely man he is.

Oat Jan 26 2023 9:41 pm Good screenplay Good acting

Lily Jan 26 2023 7:36 pm People from different social class can be together if they make an effort to love each other. Love can't be bought with expensive gifts. II found it quite insulting when she gave him a car because his car is old. ? Same for meddling in the rent increase on her bf's mum's business without even discussing with her. So many examples of her being patronising in many ways and poor guys have to endure it as they feel powerless with no money or background. I think the story has a lot more twists to look forward to. Good job!

dramajunkie Jan 26 2023 7:24 pm is it a sin to be rich like pmg? atleast she’s honest with herself and people around her. im so sick seeing both of lead use their scars and dark past for hurt others.

Bobby Jan 26 2023 6:47 pm First, i can't blame sang su because mi gyeong was the witch that started all of this, she actually knows about what is going on between sang su and the girl because i can remember vividly when mi gyeong was transferred to the bank she started noticing the two of them and even ask sang su that what's going on between them and sang su feel reluctant to answer but mi gyeong did not mind but to satisfy her greed and she even went to ask miss ahn stylishly but miss ahn did not answer her because she knows where she's going but truth to be told they are all at fault but mi gyeong was actually the green snake under the green grass. But instead of that security man should focus on his exams he went on to propose to satify his own greed, and i was even wondering because is Miss ahn that is still feeding you bro!!!! Like what f!!! is that, he started go on and on about a lady that her heart is somewhere else who even cheated on you. I just want to ask what the f!! is that episode 12 end part i don't seems to understand it.

Hana Jan 26 2023 6:06 pm Dont like mi gyeong...why she is sooo annoying...

Anna C. Jan 26 2023 5:37 pm I agree with everyone here ...and I must admit that I am painfully in love with this drama, the plot ,in my opinion , a little bit too forced , too complicated ...but, that's the interesting part where our collective adrenaline is at high levels and makes us nervous to get to the end of the story...

     I hope for a happy ending.... Sang Su should remain with the girl he adores.... that would be a positive,  moral and inspirational ending...but that's my own thought.

Mrs X Jan 26 2023 4:29 pm In the history of all the k-dramas I have watched, this is the most painful to watch.

This series is playing with my emotions so much I can't take it...

Can someone really be so desperate as to say to a person who doesn't love them that they will do whatever it takes to get the love they deserve. Like really? How?

Is the SFL going to beat and torture the love out of the ML lead for her? To me this scarily boarders on obsessive and controlling behavior. You cannot make someone love you when they don't, it would be like squeezing water out of a rock, and I don't think it will be the rock that gets hurt.

That being said, I was hoping we would be at the turning point by now, but it seems like there are many things happening that are seriously influencing my decision to drop this series, I can't take it! Waiting a week also for new episodes is not helping matters much.

Lou Jan 26 2023 2:55 pm I am annoyed at this point, it has become disappointing. The ending better get at least be fair. In a world full of disappointing situations at least COULD we have happy watching

Annoyed Jan 26 2023 2:19 pm I am so annoyed by the story. I really dont understand why FL started dating the SML in the first place. She felt hurt because he hesitated for a few minutes but he ended up making it though. Instead of talking about it they go date other people. It made no sense to me at all. Also Sang su could have told all this to Migyeong and broke with her before making moves on Su yeong. After all now the fake story of she sleeping with bis friend. I think it was the friend's idea becuase he did the same to Migyeong when they were dating. All this was completely unnecessary. I rely dont get the point of this story. Anyhow anyone know rhe ending of the novel?

Fairuz Jan 26 2023 1:01 pm Migyeong is an entitled brat so I don't feel bad for her. She hates her dad but she's a copy of him. She thinks you can buy love. Like the entire ep12 the KCU worker keep honing in "this is why you don't start a relationship if you're not over the old one* to SangSu and I love that. Sooyoung is just a mess too. She hates her dad for cheating, she ended up cheating too. Wth is Jong hyeon doing? Shamelessly got his gf & side piece together and act like he's loyal? Why kyungpil why?!

Meoowww Jan 26 2023 12:34 pm @zina thanks

@seulhlgikiki

What effort is she putting into relationship? Since day 1 she had been pushing him into relationship, then playing all kind of games like dinner on sy bday, lot of manipulation and whatnot to force him into marriage, this is not called communication. Sang su warns her he wont be all into relationship, she accepts it and he enterrs but what she does she doesnt give him space, starts bulldozing her way into relationship, if person x is not very interested ,you need to give space,but she force kisses, force sleeps at his home, forces everything on him which was not what he expected,he wanted to go slow and he sid tht too many times like when he meets her momor when she pretends to give ring in golf ball box. She knows what she is doing and thinks she will win this way. You said communicating clearly, sang su communicates clearly i don't want a car but what she does? Starts crying like a wicked witch and blaming him and storms out? What should he do? After kissing he took 2 or 3 days to get rid of mk but she knows this is coming and starts to avoid communication like a psychopath and creates whole dinner date drama. She is a hard to handle person as she doesn't take no for an answer, thats her problem.

As of independant, have you seen her house? Could u afford such apartment in gangnam just from that bank manager job? No she spends money like trash and it is 'independant' ladie's dads money not her earned. And the fact you said her destressing activity is spending money then imagine how spoiled she is. Her hand me down clothes were so expensive that a guy got his dad's whole ass surgery done.

Josette Binns Jan 26 2023 12:26 pm I’m in love with this drama ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Meche Jan 26 2023 11:42 am capter 12

Cannot take this.......

He doesn't communicate with her! What is his problem? fight for what you want! tell her you broke with the other one....

She has a self destructive personality!

Kimchi Jan 26 2023 11:03 am Mi Giyeong so pretty....why would a guy don't want her.?

Queenie Jan 26 2023 10:09 am They complicate the story by adding the issue of sleeping her with his friend like in the novel, I was hoping it should get better as sang su is trying to make things right by breaking up and confessing to ahn su but i guess its not for the coming episode, because rather than sorting the issue they complicate the issue.

P.s hoping not to have an ending like 2521 or rush ending.

Zina Jan 26 2023 10:04 am @Meowwww

I just wanted to say that I totally agree with you about the second lead actress. It was to the point!!

seulgikiki Jan 26 2023 8:25 am @Meowwww

To be frank, it is a bit disappointing that the writer chose this route to develop the main leads in the second half of the drama screening. In reality many people react the same way and cannot make decisions as easily, but many would still choose to resonate with MK, the fact that it seems that she is putting a lot of effort but yet the other person does not reciprocate it well, yeah sure, she's all over his face by buying ridiculous things that he can't even afford, but at least communicate that properly and earlier too, should have not led her on for so long, even after knowing the fact that she got cheated by his own good friend at the bank.

Imagine the trauma she had to face because of that, not to mention how she tries so hard to be independent despite her whole life being surrounded by tremendous wealth. Her only way to de-stress is to spend money, this is very exemplary to the world we live in right now, a very capitalistic one, where one is defined by their net worth.

wrg Jan 26 2023 7:50 am this is my very first drama that both male and female leads are soo hateable.

ahnnimout Jan 26 2023 7:47 am PMG and JJH are victims. both of them dont deserve to be included on ha and ahn mess.

Kitty Jan 26 2023 5:17 am I’m really crying and feel the emotion by watching ending scene of ep 11. I put myself on Mi Gyeong side. It’s really hurt to get dumped at your birthday. Eventhough Sangsu not love her, but I hate the way he treat her. He shouldnt dating her if she really in love with FL. And I really hate the way he cheat with FL :(

Kiti Jan 26 2023 5:16 am I’m really crying and feel the emotion by watching ending scene of ep 11. I put myself on Mi Gyeong side. It’s really hurt to get dumped at your birthday. Eventhough Sangsu not love her, but I hate the way he treat her. He shouldnt dating her if she really in love with FL. And I really hate the way he cheat with FL :(

Meowwww Jan 26 2023 3:40 am Mi kyeong being victim blamed? How on earth mk becme a victim in first place. Firstly she starts a reltionship with a man who says he will only give 1pc, 1 pc in any relationship is nothing, then 1 pc decreases to 0.5 pc in next 6 months but she still forces herself on him and no pushing him into marriage. How is she a victim in all of this? This is not enough she second time arranges a dinner to insult suyeong and jeong hyeon, what jong hyunhas done to her that she hurts him like this even poking him for failing at test? How is she even a victim in all of this. And how is she not a bad gf when she tries to force him into taking the car? Her attitude about buying him expensive things without his permission has always been around because in his future marriage scene he sees her giving money to his mother, then she again forces him to take car. She tries to sneakily buy him through his mom but his mom refuses. She tries to out su yeong living with a guy as a way to stop him from breaking up not seeing he is unhappy with her even if he doesnt date suyeong. Also anyone who calls her a victim just explain how her condescending behavior towards jh and sy was acceltable at both dinners?

And being tone deaf IS BEING A bad gf and bf. And mk isn't so tone deaf, she pretends to be that while she hurts others intentionally. Anyone defending mk, can you live with someone like that? Yes sang su wasn't right in what he did, but that kiss wasn't planned , it happened, in all 6 months he was distant from mk yet she tries to cling onto him. Infact i dont blame him at all, he doesnt want the relationship to grow this fast in the first place hence he kept it private but to accelerate the pace she kisses him publicly knowing someone will come form behind and notice, she does it to speed up their relationship, sang su practically didn't even have time to think of getting into this relationship. She just tried to speed it up by going public when it was barely 2 or 3 days of dating. Then she pressures him using his colleagues' knowledge of their dating to not breakup, he gives into pressure and lets it go on. His biggest weakest is not to say things on time but in this situation that she puts him even a strong person will waver, how is he a bad guy?

Spencer Jan 26 2023 2:27 am Sangsu is a weak scumbag leading on poor Miyeong!

Weede Jan 26 2023 2:01 am Just a general note to all those who were victim-blaming Mi-gyeong (he never really loved her, she was trying to buy his feelings, etc) - up until episode 10 I was rooting and hoping that ML and FL to be together. However, by now the fact of the matter is that Sang-su flat out cheated on her while he was still in a relationship with Mi-gyeong (he only wanted to break up after he kissed Su-yeong). not to mention that Mi-gyeong wasn't being a bad gf (yes she was a bit tone deaf with all the flexing wealth thing) and Su-yeong didn't do anything to tempt/ seduce him - thus he cheated because he wants to. and that is wrong.

ColdeFiction Jan 26 2023 1:42 am Also. the start of episode 9 with sang-su and mi-gyeong where they are married is mostly like how the sang-su thinks if he was to be married to mi-gyeong. He thinks it's a lonely feature by marrying someone he doesn't like.

ColdeFiction Jan 26 2023 1:37 am I still cannot understand why they have to drag two other people into their mess. It almost like making me encourage to cheat. The guy should've said "No" if he can't bear the responsibility of being in a relationship. And the woman/female lead should've lowered her expectations if she wants to be in a relationship. Also why is she throwing a fit at him being hesitant on their supposedly "1st date". When in fact, he doesn't actually sure if she is still there because he was late and that's why he is hesitant. Yes I get it, the 2nd female lead is being desperate. But aren't we all if we really like the person? And also let us be realistic for a sec. A woman who gave you a car isn't "belittling". She wants to help him look good, fancy and reach his goals. And the is constantly rejecting it? He is being hypocrite by fuelling his desire for another woman by being with another. He is an absolute douchebag.

Ngl.. This drama is so problematic there is a lot of questionable decisions made by the leads.

Sugan Jan 26 2023 12:25 am The second female lead is so desperate it’s pathetic. She clearly knows he wants to break up with her but is doing everything to avoid it. They clearly get married since they revealed that in episode 9. She’s probably gonna lie to him that she’s pregnant or she’s going tk take a bunch of sleeping pills to hurt herself (since they keep zooming in on the bottle) so he will feel to bad to break up with her. I’m not saying what the two main leads are doing is right but he did tell second lead he wasn’t 100 percent. I just can’t stand her. Like she tried to buy him an expensive car. She belittles him.

Hana Jan 26 2023 12:21 am Please happy ending for Sang Su and Su Yeong..They deserve to be happy!!!!

Hana Jan 26 2023 12:19 am Please let them together (sangsu and su yeong)...dont like mi-gyeong..try so hard to make sangsu like her..

TubNkeeg Jan 25 2023 10:38 pm The start of episode 9 shows that Sang-su and Mi-Yeong are married with their wedding photo on the wall at the apartment that Mi-Yeong once told Su-yeong that she will move to once she's married. Everything that's shown is likely flash back so it's likely that Sang-su and Su-yeong will not end up together. This kind of sucks. They shouldn't have revealed that.

Meooow Jan 25 2023 8:38 pm @weede it was mikyong who was the side chick always, trying to force her way into his life and buying gifts and giving handme downs to su yeong to make her a friend to leep her away from sang su, she is a manipulative woman who wants to force herself on others, sang su didnt do amything wrong. It's her who is the side chick, not su young.

Weede Jan 25 2023 7:50 pm I am so done with this drama. yes we know that the main leads are in love with each other, but man they really made the main lead a douche-y boyfriend. very gentleman of him to skip dinner with his gf's family to meet his side chick, then ignore the gf's calls, then didn't show any care or concern when she didn't show a work, and finally didn't remember her birthday. I no longer wish for a happy ending for the main couple really - FL deserves a happy ending, but not with ML who deserves to be drinking bottles of soju alone at the end of the series.

Danna Pelaez Jan 25 2023 1:17 pm Looking forward for their happy ending or else I will never watch any kdrama ever! Charaught ? Loved this drama superb!

Kayoon Jan 25 2023 11:01 am I hope they will have a happy ending for the 2 lead character because they deserve the love that they have for each other. You can only have 1 true love for your entire life and it is not a selfish thing to do everyone of us have the right to be love and love the person that we truly deserve. Im rooting for a happy ending. Love is all that matters...

UnderStanderOfLove Jan 25 2023 12:36 am I really think that Jeong Hyeon is cheating with that girl from his study group. The way he flipped his phone when she called during their date and how he lied that she was a guy friend. It maybe the real reason he wants to move out.

Phinatorres09 Jan 24 2023 4:07 pm I love this series , but is kind of depressing and annoying . The only person I’m feeling for right now is “park” she is trying all her best to show how much she loves him , I hope the producers and directors don’t disappoint me at the end . Pls when is episode 11 coming out ? I can’t find it online . One love from Nigeria !

Alma Jan 23 2023 9:41 pm “The Interest of Love” is the best romantic Kdrama, since “Something in the Rain” and “When My Love Blooms.” This drama is definitely on my repeat play reel! Episode 10 is the highlight for Sang-Su and Su-Yeong! For me, anyway. FINALLY! Sigh! Love all the characters! Great acting! Great storyline!

Jay Jan 23 2023 9:35 pm I really feel for Park Mi-Gyeong. She's trying so hard and you just know she loses this fight.

Cindy Jan 23 2023 8:40 pm I love this drama. It’s a melodrama so it will be at a slower pace. What is the name of the song played when FL and 2 ML are kissing in her room? I can not find it anywhere. Thx

Elle Jan 23 2023 8:33 pm I luv this drama. Everyone is acting the way their characters are written. It’s unfortunate but the FL and the 2ML should’ve broken up. There’s only so much a person can take and he’s lying to her about his “guy” friend. I also have a feeling the 2FL’s ex was shooed off from her father because how did he know what her cousin looked like. He probably didn’t mess around with her friends but was made to break it off with her. I’m curious how that pairing is going to work out. Also, didn’t they show a scene of the ML and 2FL married and seemingly unhappy or was I mistaken? I thought it was like a flash forward thing or maybe the ML was daydreaming. Oh, I also think his other friend is having an affair with the ex of 4 years. This drama got messy so fast. It’s sad but people will get hurt and I’m not sure how the drama will end. I’m hoping the leads are together in the end but after ending things with their partners.

Kitty Jan 23 2023 11:59 am I just hope the ML and 2FL have a happy ending story. Eventhough it’s impossible, or at least ML and FL can’t be together. I really dont like FL character. She is super annoying, ML is a good man but damn I dont understand why he really crazy in love with FL.

Star Jan 23 2023 2:22 am Before watching a drama, if synopsis is available Read it first. Then there won't be much expectations and disappointments. I did and will watch it later.

Apple Jan 23 2023 1:39 am Ignore every negative comment about how slow the drama is, how "depressing", etc, and watch it. Beautiful story, very captivating, and our leads are doing a fine job. I love it

Nina Jan 22 2023 5:18 am Absolutely obsessed with this drama. It has me on the edge of my seat. Yes the leads are annoying cuz they refuse to admit their feelings and their faults and just communicate so they can be together. Also they keep dragging Mi Gyeong and Jong Hyeon into their mess which is only gonna make things worse! More ppl are gonna end up hurt but why do I feel like they will hurt the most in the end?

Moon ga young Jan 21 2023 4:47 pm Love this I hope ML and FL and the last please ???????

Yumi Jan 21 2023 5:28 am This drama is so wrong. I thought this will be normal drama where in real life you can't always be with the person you love. Though you love someone else, but you'll end up with someone else & later develop feeling for each other. But, after episode 10, what is this? Then i guess this will be a cliche romance story just like others. And the FL is so depressing... i really don't like the way she smirk when 2FL talks about the ML. Like, she was mocking her.. i hate that. Why did she do that when she herself have BF. And she is the one at the first place rejects ML apology about the restaurant incident. poor the 2ML too.. urghhhh

Ghie Jan 21 2023 3:29 am Love this kdrama. Hoping there will be a happy ending with Ha Sang Su and Ahn Seu Yong.. I love them both Cant wait the next episode

Olive Jan 20 2023 4:24 pm Besst ending ever in ep 10. Amazing show. Mikyong how can she give clothes to someone like this? How rude. Sang su and soo young should start as a couple now. Enough with bad partners they are keeping. Drama is the best show

Ariann Jan 20 2023 2:24 pm Pathetic and very disappointing story. They have their own partners but it didn’t make sense At All. Save yourself from the Stress lol.

Jimin23 Jan 19 2023 9:11 pm I have to compliment this show. It’s impressive how the writer and the director has made all four of the main characters so unlikeable I’d rather put gochujang in my eyes than see them together. Especially the ML and FL! More than anything I wanted that train to hit them at the end of the 9th episode. Even watching this as a joke is beyond painful. Also I feel like in real life the FL has just floated by on her looks that when it comes to acting she just floats by. The whole show she has the same facial expression! The ML just looks down and awkwardly scratches his head no matter the emotional context of the scene. Let’s all hope the show ends with Thanos snapping them all out existence!

Angela Jan 19 2023 6:38 pm I love this drama it is definitely for a more mature audience or viewers that are more on the patient side .The actors are great and I love how the script is so well written and keeps you on the edge at the end of each episode.I watched so many Korean dramas and this is definitely one of my favorite so far can’t wait until the ending hope I am not disappointed.

Dawn Piel Jan 19 2023 3:04 pm If the two main characters do not have a happy ending I’m done watching any foreign series/films, I’ve watched a lot & this one above all has to end well!!

Nope Jan 19 2023 2:20 pm Dropping this drama. I don't care for ML or FL. Drama a bit depressing, everyone wear the same sad face every episode. No one is saving this drama for me.

Just do it Jan 19 2023 1:51 pm Love love love themmmmm kisssing n cheating.

Gia Jan 19 2023 12:54 pm Ok, enough is enough.. yes, this drama is so wrong..:'(

Mr wong Jan 19 2023 11:31 am Wow this show is so wrong lol

WowDrama Jan 19 2023 11:22 am it is a slow drama but changes and flash back......did they get married or what??

   I have a feeling Yoo Yeon-Seok	Mun Ka-Young are not going to be together.

        Why is the Rich girl, so desperate she can be with any guy????

Hyby Jan 18 2023 10:14 pm Finally, the main leads are getting comfortable with each other. They are best for each other. ML will always feel bad and irritated with SFL because of their different class. FL don't need more struggle, she's doing everything for SML out of her trauma and pity but that will only ruin her further. Both of the couple show the male being the receiver which opposes the male ego. Hope the main lead romance start soon.

Fajrina Jan 18 2023 11:17 am Anyone notice at the beginning of episode 9, when sangsu going home there are kids toys, playing tent, and the picture of him married to mikyung (?) Does it mean they'll finally married and have children? Now I fear that this won't be happy ending ?

poolah Jan 17 2023 7:46 am Her co-workers (except the lady who cares for her) are all unbelievable. Hope this kind of work environment does not exist in real life.

Elle Jan 16 2023 3:21 pm Or FL is there to get space between her and the bf and the ML is there to catch his gf.

We shall see ?

Elle Jan 16 2023 3:01 pm I just had a thought: what if the second leads are the ones cheating but not together? If the last scene of episode 8 is a misdirect, maybe the two leads are at the hotel to catch their partners. I just can’t imagine the FL cheating on her bf. Plus, there was something with the 2FL and the ML’s friend so they haven’t dug into that issue yet. The 2ML doesn’t seem all that happy to be living with his gf so I’m guessing that’ll end soon anyway. And the friendship between the FLs seem unfortunately shallow. Like the 2FL chose to keep her “enemy” close. The way she treat the FL isn’t the way a friend would treat another friend. Her true treatment and nature are in the details. Not saying she’s a horrible person but she isn’t as kind as she seems. Better yet, she seems to like reminding the FL lead of her “place” in the world. I wasn’t sure in the earlier episodes but yeah, she’s a fake friend.

I’m curious to see where this goes because the drama is good, yes slow, but good. The cast is doing a wonderful job.

mj Jan 15 2023 6:08 pm I like the slow and simmering story but I can't see these two Ha Sang-Su and Ahn Su-Yeong ending up together. They have a life long depressing over thinking relationship with no laughter. They need to end up with the other two instead, they would uplift each other.

Jojo Jan 15 2023 5:16 am I like the cast, they're good actors...but whoever wrote this needs to get in the real world. The 5 minute non-verbal diaolgue they have in every scene just makes me want to chew bricks, this is such a slow drama, any slower I'll be watching it backwards. I'm seriously thinking of giving up watching the rest of it, I just can't....

CA USA Viewer Jan 15 2023 12:55 am Halfway through E8 and that’s enough BS. I’ll tune in last episode to see how the writer concluded this claptrap. I only wish my non-viewership was reflected in the ratings.

Inmo Jan 14 2023 5:18 am The emotional roller coaster and the cheating innuendo would make you feel uncomfortable, but at the same time you may question- are they really cheating though? We're still halfway through the journey so don't be too quick to judge. Still, I wish this ends like One Spring Night, it has similar 바람 innuendo but has good and proper story.

Keynjosep Jan 13 2023 9:47 pm This drama just feels so wrong. Like what the heck was that on episode 8? Sang-gu said to Mi-gyeong's mother that he take their relationship seriously then why? Why did they drag 2 more people in their mess. I can clearly see through both Sang-gu and Suyeon's eyes that they both itching to be together. Again this drama is so so wrong, but i cannot stop watching it.

Cheri Jan 13 2023 5:01 pm This drama is rather slow. I only care bout second main girl atm. First lead couple should just get together already and stop dragging this mess.

seina Jan 13 2023 10:45 am Aarrrggg Did Sang-Su & Su-Yeon Really Meet At The Hotel Room ???? or it just different ???? we need to wait a freakin a week :((

meilisa goh Jan 13 2023 9:27 am can the writer STOP playing with 1ML><2ML ???!!! just getting sick of it.. when will Sangsu & Suyeon together??!!

HH Jan 13 2023 8:24 am I dont think Su Yeong and Sang Su slept together in the next episode. There will always be a twist. Check the trailer. The clothes they were wearing where they had the actual bed scene were different.

ColdeFiction Jan 13 2023 8:08 am A really good proper drama. The slow pacing is actually good. I didn't realize I was at the middle of the episodes every damn time. I really hope both leads end up with the 2nd leads. Their chemistry is good.

Skylav Jan 13 2023 1:17 am Please don't hurt Jong Hyeon. I cried a lot in episode 7. His life is already a mess. Please give him a happy ending whatever it is. Garam fighting!

Gruvee Jan 12 2023 5:52 pm @ sf, fyi TIOL director and Trolley scriptwriter worked before for DoYouLikeBrahms, it’s their style on doing slow pace drama. Tbh these 3 dramas are not everyone cup of tea amid their stellar casts. Me I enjoyed it so much

sf Jan 12 2023 1:51 pm Adult people who can't express their souls clearly. Plus, the drama Trolley is in slow motion this drama is same. I cannot deal with so many lethargic dramas.

Zina Jan 12 2023 11:57 am I must get something off of my chest. What a conniving ***** the second female lead is!! All those subtle gestures are not being unnoticed. She and the male lead deserve each other. First time in my entire life that I genuinely don't want the lead protagonists to get together at the end. The female lead deserves so much better! She has my support and respect in this debacle!

Rango Jan 12 2023 11:36 am I don't think Sang su screretly meeting Ahn su yeong in the hotel as the ending episode 8...there was a twist as always

Kimchi Jan 12 2023 11:32 am The only person who will get hurt deeply at the end is Mi gyeong.....she just a girl who loved the boy.

Oly Jan 12 2023 10:15 am Both suyoung and sang su already sleep together both you idiots and teach migyong a lesson.

Sentinel Jan 12 2023 9:48 am I rate 9/10. As Hospital Playlist fan I laughed a lot seeing this two best friend dudes, 'Wtf is Prof. An Jeong-won doing with Dragon and pose as bank employees??'. Jokes aside the first 2 episodes totally captivated me. It has uncommon starting where what happened in Ep 1 is what commonly seen in later half episodes in other dramas. The writing is just superb, especially the plot twist ending. 6 episodes in and the quality is still going strong, hope they will keep up.

Lar Jan 12 2023 8:11 am Why do I feel like Mr. So Nosy has something with Mi Gyeong in the past? lol I really find it suspicious the way he acted that way in ep7! Can't wait to watch the next episode tonight!!!

Rango Jan 11 2023 7:02 pm The break up and the make up drama......not clear why su yeong reject sang su and willing to accept Jong heon.....soon we will see Sang su and Mi kyoung relationship will not last because of their mother. Mi kyeong turn to get hurt.

Annie Jan 11 2023 5:47 pm Will sang su and Ahn su be together in the end??? I'm so curious please reply

vangie yan Jan 11 2023 2:59 pm hope sang su and su yeong end up together

Rose Jan 11 2023 1:22 pm don't know who's really the leading man of moon ga Young. I thought it was Sang-su but I guess Im wrong. I don't like the story and I feel like I'm not going to watch anymore ?

Smh Jan 10 2023 12:33 pm If you hate on suyoung then it is not you hating her it is your the misogyny inside you.

Moon ga young Jan 09 2023 2:30 pm We hope that sang su (ML) and su yeong (FL) will end up together ???? I know in the first place su-yeong can't tell her feelings towards sang-su? were likely to watch this drama if sang-su and su-yeong lastly forever please ???

Yawar Jan 09 2023 12:08 am @guvee

Thank you for your reply! Only thing we can tell from the previews is that, SY and SS will start to date secretly at some time, SY will realize her feelings for SS are real and he is the one for her. Most probably, their affair will start soon, and they will try to keep it a secret , making it very digging for the 2FL… I think the 2ML will be out of the picture soon … SY is dating him as he is very kind to her ..but he broke up with her and that is not going well for both. Looks like SS will cheat on PMY! I don’t think both will be in relationships. The best friend of SS says yo him, you need to stop this affair with SY before it is too late !!

Jsyjtokki Jan 08 2023 11:32 am I want Sang-su (ML) and Su-Yeong(FL) end up together I love their chemistry tbh I'm so happy that Su-Yeong and Jong-hyeon broke up

keytie Jan 08 2023 7:58 am I only watched this show because of Yoo Yeon Seok. I tried to understand each episode but there are parts that is kinda dragging esp. on Su-yeong character but i will have to see on the other episodes. Lets see how the story goes.

YYS Jan 08 2023 6:08 am Had it not been for Yoo Yeon Seok, I would never watched this drama.

The storylines feel like any other melo-romance drama, nothing spectacular.

I really want to drop this after watching episode 6, but i'm curious to see how it ends. I should have waited for all episodes to drop.

Anyway, i hope ML will end up FL. Both 2ML & 2FL are unlikeable.

Tiffany Totran Jan 07 2023 8:13 am I enjoy watching this, but I hate the way employees be treated in Korean drama they are bullied if they can't please the bosses-

lol Jan 07 2023 1:25 am sorry but i see no chemistry between ML & 2FL and FL & 2ML, instead the chemistry and tension between ML & FL is realll

Aussie del Rosario Jan 06 2023 8:27 pm This kdrama started well, its intriguing, but it starting to be boring... the personality of character of park mi hyeong is the only character among the 4 leads that is giving life to it, blends well with the male lead though... i hope it can continue its upward trend...

Meoowwwww Jan 06 2023 11:13 am @galaxy sang su reported but suyoung also reported mr yuk, but i dont get was that a coincidence they both end up reporting him at almost same time. She reports after store room incident.

Honestly, guys it's fun show i like it despite it's dragginess because this is a whole genre designed to be based on dragginess, shaky camera focuses, camera held for long pauses on character's face etcetc.

There is this whole slow burn genre, whether its liberation notes, the lost , this show or others. Tho definitely writing can be better to improve the quality of dragginess. It's interesting some people who would love one show out of this genre wouldn't love another one from same genre.

Now back on show i honestly think security guard despite all his reasons breaking up like this is very bad writing because it shows a character who was so kind in a bad light even if he has world's worst reasons he can't breakup like this wothout informing. Also the way he approached her aggressively dont blind date as I want you in future. It seems probably he gets some new debt or some new responsibility where he knows he cant keep his spouse happy but that still demanded him to be honest.

sena Jan 06 2023 9:39 am watching episode 6 and it getting weird ???? 1st male lead to get 2nd female lead, 1st female lead to get 2nd male lead ???? what drama is this ????!!!!

Gruvee Jan 06 2023 8:34 am Whoever says this drama is draggy, well that’s the perks of slow burn romance, lots miscommunication and wishy washy involved. Also the layer by layer revealed is the director style, go check DYLB. I’m good with happy or sad ending, as long as the closure is solid and makes sense. Novel has open ending, drama might change it. So whoever’s lost interest in this drama, give it second chance, y’all might fall for it, after all it’s all about love hate thingy can’t be always the happy and bubbly stuffs all the time to enjoy a good drama

sonata Jan 06 2023 7:57 am getting tired and frustrated in every episodes... too much misunderstanding from both the lead characters but well the tittle of the drama is "Understanding of Love" and yes love is so beautiful yet it painful, frustrating and suck lol

It make you want to drop this drama but at the same time you wanted to know how the story will go~ so just enjoy the drama and get frustrated hahaha

Galaxy S7 Edge Jan 06 2023 6:53 am @meowwwwww No. Ha Sang-su who reported Mr. Yook to the center....

Kiki Jan 06 2023 1:36 am I just know Park Mi-Gyeong is gonna get her heartbroken. I still hope she have a decent storyline cuz I love her and rooting for her happiness.

Meowwwwww Jan 05 2023 6:40 pm Guyss guys please help, did suyoung report mr yuk because she knows she will be transferred so she wants a way out of branch?

And most imp question when male lead reports yuk how did he know suyoung already has him reported or they coincidentally report him together and the audit team chooses to cover entire issue under su young's issue ?1) Like audit team hides his operating expenses stealing under coercion issue, or 2lthey took action on both or 3) they were punishing him for operating expenses so because of that they took suyoing's matter into consideration too, but at office they never mention anything about op expenses issue the audit team only investigates suyoung's matter so what happens exactly inside. Sang su's friends conversation was a bit confusing.

Also why is there bitterness between mikyong and sang sus best friend.

Marilyn Lehning Jan 05 2023 5:32 pm Please do not let the rich girl win the hero!!!

UnderstanderOfLove Jan 05 2023 4:44 pm In my opinion, I think this might just be one of the rare times that the 2nd lead gets the girl . I feel like Sang Su will make the decision to "have his cake and eat". He is going to use Mi Gyeong as his come-up girl and eventually start an affair with So Young. Since Jong Hyeon just broke up with her, Su Young will probably throw caution to the wind and go along with the affair. Eventually, like most of the people around them have been saying, they will see that passion for each other isn't gonna keep them together and Sang Su will stay with Mi Gyeong and Su young will eventually get back with Jong Hyeon.

2era Jan 05 2023 4:02 pm I think suyoung can manage to waddle thru this toxic env if she also becomes a gossing b.tch like co workers which she chooses against which makes her a better person. I personally think she needs to show more anger and stiffness, humans don't feed you, noone can take away from her what us hers so she should act tough. Its hard to think how women are oppressed by none other than women themselves at work.

pix Jan 05 2023 2:39 pm eveyone's commenting abt the storyline circling around with no progression and having too much "misunderstanding". but that was actually the plot of this story, a lot of miss timing, miscommunication, and misunderstanding. even the actual korean title is 사랑의 이해 (understanding of love), it clearly indicates the whole storyline.

about the FL being wishy-washy abt her feelings. its not that. she fully realizes that she likes sangsu, she said it herself in her monologue that she cannot be honest abt her feelings. and we should consider her situation because its obv that she has an inferiority complex with her upbringing, she has family issues that are still unresolved, she is used to people avoiding her, and is uncertain abt relationships. her character is so realistic to me and i would love to see her progression in the upcoming episodes.

and the ML also needs to work on understanding himself before falling in love. he stated in his monologue that he finds "understanding himself" harder than "understanding love" and that is why he was so hesitant in his decisions. it would be great if he becomes more certain in the future.

the 2nd female lead is so caged in her own world. i understand that she wanted to be acknowledged for her efforts but she has to at least acknowledge the big privileges she has compared to others but she didn't. but so far, overall she seemed to be a nice and straightforward person, that's her biggest charm for me.

the 2nd male lead still remains a mystery to me, not many background story on him so im still pondering abt his character for now. but he seemed like a very positive and kind person, also hardworking ig. he is really straightforward and smiley. but he gave the FL "little brother vibes" so idk abt that.

so far there are only 6 episodes so i have to see how this progress. i'll give an update opinion if there are any :))

arkantuka Jan 05 2023 12:31 pm I want to know name of song in ep1 when Ha Sang-Su and Ahn Su-Yeong go out on street, someone help me please. Thank you.

Gruvee Jan 05 2023 7:44 am @yawar 4 time jump based on novel, but so far this drama dont really stick to novel, which is bother me abit. For upcoming episodes im expecting 19++ scenes just like novel, hope this drama have them. Its jtbc and the casts are adult so i can really use some romantic adult scenes. Novel has open ending but seems this drama will do happy ending for viewers sake, such a downer but i will continue watch for 16 eps

Yirah Jan 05 2023 6:42 am I really hate how the story is going. I want to drop this but at the same time I wanted to know how it will go. It's really frustrating.

Yawar Jan 05 2023 2:27 am @Guvee

I am interested to know how did you find out a 4 year time jump from the Hotel Hookup scene in the official Trailer. They seem to be dating before that, walking on the beach and going on dates. But I agree with you, both are having a secret Affair- and that will be the end game… just a guess!

Gruvee Jan 04 2023 8:08 pm Here’s my take on current episodes. Both ML and FL need to date SFL and SML in order to know who they really wanted. It says you really like someone when you already with someone. And from earlier trailer we can see SS SY met at hotel to hook up, when both are taken. I’m pretty sure SS SY couple is endgame especially after 4 years time jump in later episodes

Again Jan 04 2023 4:59 pm I liked ep 5 tho it was slow and seeing this episode n preview of next it seens shows story will move in circles but its still likeable. Its slow burn and about misery of common people where some are privileged some are not. I like it better than liberation notes which was also fun show. When sangsu saud , its her choice, it made him look so bad. Ml is not so appealing but actor is perfect.

Hello!! Jan 04 2023 12:47 pm I think I'm gonna drop this.. I can't understand which is the main couple and which side should I take. And also I don't want to break my heart at the end as well after wasting so many hours??

Meoww Jan 02 2023 2:00 pm @arskk maybe after having watched 4 episode unless I am missing something I also dont get the reason why he cursed her at ep1 ending. When i saw that episode i thought she did something that will be shown more. But now I feel it was a strong reaction and prolly added as a shock factor and cliffhanger for ep 1 ending and as it was 1st episode it was to draw viewers into the show.

2nd reason just seems perhaps he thought she was already dating the guard and still going out with him. Now that we are on ep 4 it also doesnt make sense why she lies to him about guard being the bf. She doesnt need to lie to him at all about her dating or not. Shes angry she made him know, shw should forget him and move on. But having said that these are the plot points that move show forward and its not bad either now that he has mi kyeong.

seina Jan 01 2023 9:16 am light ordinary love story, ordinary office life story.. about lives of ordinary people and their ordinary problems. It's good drama to watch since sometime we also experience the same in our life

Also both main leads are visuals & having very good acting skill so it very satisfying to see them together

arsk Dec 31 2022 12:36 pm I wonder why the male lead always have negative intonation towards female lead ..

I give my heart to wrong person She is a b*tch

I suspect that mi kyeong transfer to their branch after seeing ML photo about the ice hockey...

Mi kyeong pretends that she doesn't know how to skate but when he not around can skate smoothly...

Alice Dec 31 2022 8:23 am Mi kyeong is a scheming woman. She will create issues for sure. It seems she knows su yeong and sang su like each other. This drama shouldnt be weekly, should drop at once.

@Gruvee can you just give 1 spoiler that she is a negative character and not sweet as mi kyeong pretends

UnderstanderOfLove Dec 29 2022 1:20 pm It's so hard to wait for new episodes. I just finished episodes 3 & 4 and I'm dreading waiting another week for an epsiode.

Good Dec 28 2022 8:22 pm Ep3 was slow but all in all good job. Mky is looking very beautiful lot of credit to cameraman who takes her face shots in very unique n artistic way. Yys is acting so well like one couldnt ask for more from him even tho his character is just okayish.

Gruvee Dec 28 2022 8:43 am Thursday rating will always suffer amid mister trot is airing on yg chosun, cmiiw

Pl Dec 27 2022 12:11 pm @Asff i dunno why ratings went down, but show isn't bad, it's pretty entertaining thus far. What next will happen don't know. Sometimes slice of life shows have low ratings. People want adultery stories or cheating scenes or super clever heros' stories like reborn rich or adernaline rush giving stuff. Slice of life is usually ignored. Many slice of life do start out well but go downhill.

AIM_SB19 Dec 26 2022 6:05 am Can someone tell me what Ahn Su-Yeong saw that night when they supposed to have dinner date?

April Dec 25 2022 8:38 am Thanks @Gruvee for pointing that out. Thankfully it's not that predictable. Ca't wait for ep3!!

drasil Dec 25 2022 2:16 am can't wait for the next eps. the waiting game is killing me.

lucky Dec 24 2022 9:57 am Hi, Can someone tell me the name of the song that played in episode 2? It started at 52:00. Please and thank you

Gruvee Dec 23 2022 11:19 pm For yall information, Garam jonghyun is not sooyoung brother, based on novel, and im sure they will stick to this storyline

Interest Dec 23 2022 7:55 am If garam is her brother then i must say i find her whole family very disgusting and creepy. Its clear shes on bad terms with them instead of leaving her alone like leeches they followed after her to be near her work place, even ppl on great terms with family hate to have family members work or live near workplaces as it interferes with privacy. I would be shock if garam is her brother as it speaks too negatively of her family. I feel very bad for su yeong , as if workplace discrimination is any less worst that you have others forcing themselves on you.

Also i wonder why she refused to process home loan application and why new manager taunted hr on it.. if someone could explain that.

I dont dislike male lead but it feels creepy the way he is not letting her have her own space and constantly following her and again and again asks her, 'what is the reason'. Maybe if he calms down she will understand him after sometime. She has feelings for him.

April Dec 23 2022 6:32 am Same, I also guess that Garam is Gayoung's brother. Maybe, the side story would be about how/why they have different last name. One more thing, if they are to revealed that they are truly related, I'm not exactly sure but I heard somewhere that's it's kinda inappropriate for siblings/ immediate family to be part of a bank. Especially a bank, cause their will be a shared/ conflict of interest.

Yoo Yeon Seok oppa is a crazy actor. I'm emotionally affected even with his little face movements. He sure could make any age gaps disappear with those evident love. Superb acting. Uri Goo Dongmae!

Meow Dec 23 2022 5:11 am Excellent show, extremely good, its about lives of ordinary people and their ordinary problems. No larger than life unrealistic super rich, super food looking kind of unrealistic stories. Highly recommended.

poolah Dec 22 2022 8:35 pm Ga Ram is probably the brother lol

Bbb Dec 22 2022 2:29 pm The Interest of Love 1 episode 1:17:36 who know song pls help

Mewmew Dec 22 2022 11:21 am Mgy really needs to fix the way he talks. In every show she makes this nasal thin voice and sounds funny and bad. When she talks in normal voice she sounds fine.

1st episode was excellent. I actually liked her coldness towards him, she seems to have reasons.

Are they trying liberation note kind of thing. The vibe was a bit simiar. Excellent so far.

Scarlet Turangan Dec 22 2022 8:54 am I cannot help my self smiling almost the entire episode 1, but im screaming at the end of episode. D**n Yoo Yeon Seok really a versatile actor. My number 1 actor since Gu dong Mae in Mr Sunshine. YYS and MGY chemistry is amazing.

a Dec 22 2022 8:32 am everything was wholesome until the end that Sangsu called SuYeong a b***

I guess from the clips I should have expected a more mature theme.

either way i am interested on this.

Moon Ga Young and Yoo Yeon Suk carried the whole episode, and the others play a realistic annoying coworkers

Jazmin3 Dec 22 2022 7:46 am My heart is aching. Yoo Yeon Seok and Mun Ka Young bring the character to live. I really can feel the pain. And I've just watched the first ep. Can't wait to see the development of the story and how it will end.

mky Dec 21 2022 9:10 am mun ka young best actress!

Kdrama Dec 20 2022 5:54 am keum saerok!! long time no see after youth of may.. I'm going to watch this for her

Sudamie Nov 21 2022 10:10 pm Kayoung-ah fighting!!!
