It's too too too complicated
No one can understand Ahn Su Young not even she can understand her own feeling. She is the most complicated character in kdrama, I guess 🙄.And how does Han Sang Soo finds Ahn Su Young everytime? Does he has tracker on her?🤪
The first 8 episodes are quite interesting as storyline is quite different from the other dramas that I have watched but Awfully stretched out at the end 😒 At the beginning showing realistic characters and their emotions was nice. I really like the chemistry of Moon ga young and Yoo yeon seok. Moon ga young is so different from True beauty which is impressive . Yoo yeon seok is becoming one of my favourite.

Flat ending
This drama had an interesting start. I wanted to watch a drama that focused on "real" people and not the high luxury lives of chaebols. Having worked in a bank myself, I wanted to see how they would navigate office romances.Truly wanted to like this drama but that ending was just What the???!!!
Mentally going through each episode, it really boils down to the lack of communication between the leads. Too many things left unsaid left room for doubts and suspicions which could have been prevented if they were more open with each other.
I saw the ML in Mr Sunshine and dr Romantic, so it was refreshing to see him portray a different role. To be honest, he was more likeable than the Fl. He was just that Real.....
The only other plus for me would be the OST. That was something I really enjoyed.
Overall, I don't think I would recommend this drama. The frustration that builds up every episode ending was just aggravated by that ending

Unexpected and Disappointing Ending
I can't believe we waited 16 Episodes for nothing. She's not normal and he waited the love he held for her in his heart for too many years. I have never been ao dissappointed in a Kdrama before. What was the point of the story? Both men deserved better treatment and gave up in other opportunities for the "hope" of being with the one they love.I would not recommend getting emotionally involved with this drama.
I loved the actors and would definitely want to see them in more series. I hope with a better ending

It doesn't get better, utterly disappointing under the disguise of thoughfulness and fears, the values defended during the first part get thrown out the window fairly quickly.
Bloody slow as well, wasted their life and mine.
That's not what I'd call wanting an ordinary life.
I love the main actress so she makes it easy to keep going while hoping for a lovely outcome or something.
WTF.

When supporting cast was the true main cast
It was boring and I couldn't understand a lot of things humanly. The Prota was somehow a stalker while the female Prota was quite strenuous and unpredictable. Much of her decision did not really made sense to me. She was very exhausting for my taste.In the end I couldn't understand what he found so great about her. There was a good plot twist, but not much was made of it. Ultimately, the supporting cast was more interesting than the protagonists.
I only finished it bc I hate to drop and I really wanted to know how it end. I‘m honest I had skipped from ep 12 to ep 16.

I understood the point, but could be so much better.
What a waste of chemistry between the two leads… very frustrating caracters… I’ll give this note just because it was a really pretentious script… intended too much, delivered a slow pace show going nowhere... the caracters development it was hard to watch, the two leads looks like teenargers... I just can’t recommend this drama to anyone, the script could make some good changes from the novel, such as delivering a more satisfying ending ……………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………….……Was this review helpful to you?
Just say no
Life is too short to drag myself down with drama's like this. The only positives were the OST and I do like both of the actors playing the male and female lead. However, there was too much hurt, too many lies, too much toxicity and too many words left unsaid. If a series is trying to be real, I get it and can appreciate that, but It wasn't even realistic in my opinion. Fortunately I haven't experienced a work environment with this much drama and mistrust. It was a frustratingly, draining watch .Was this review helpful to you?
Waste of time if you like romance
The netflix clip gave the impression that this was a wholesome, boy meets girl drama which is what i signed up for and by episode 8 i realised i made a huge mustake. And after 11 i couldnt take it anymore. When does the person being broken up with ever gets a say!!? In this drama it wasnt done until she said so. It's a slow drag to depression and im not here for it. It was a lame open ending which i hate, after making us wait for so long, make up your mind to make it good or bad, not subpar!Was this review helpful to you?
Only for mature audiences
The show has slow paceing but after 2nd episode you r going to love the storyThe goods:
The fresh pairing and just how cute they look with each other, are the reasons we began watching. Of course, an office romance and that too in a bank setting piqued our interest equally as much. Various stories of difficult customers, the demanding nature of the job and more are the points which we look forward to during the show.
The bads:
‘The Interest of Love’ is extremely slow! You will want to usher the characters to get to some place or begin speaking already while they dilly-dally their way in. A lot of pondering, observing, and unexplained wondering is spread throughout the first two episodes but from episode 3 show will catch up.

Second time around hits different!
I had to come back and rewrite my review after watching this series a second time, because the first time around I totally missed the point. This second time i was more receptive and ready to digest the complexities of the characters and their situations.The first time around I grew frustrated with the way the story was unfolding and the main characters that seem very passive drove me crazy with exasperation. But now I understand that they were living in a society full of prejudices and classism, so they had to behave and conform to what it was expected of them. They really had no choice, because all their choices had consequences. Like the moment that the FL stood up to her boss, at first she was seemed by her own coworkers as a liability until the ML who was regarded of a higher social status defended her did she get any sympathy..
Although many viewers found her annoying for being mad at the ML for his initial hesitation and later for trying hard to like the SML. I totally understand why she did that. So yeah, I loved the ending… it was really fitting. They had to go through all those experiences and headaches to end up right where they started….
It is truly a gem of a show…. the angst is so palpable. love it!!!

Bad Mess Of A Show
This is just not an interesting show; a potentially great story about rich and poor in Korea got lost in the messy four-way love saga that left me actively resenting the male lead protagonist for how he treated his girlfriend whilst pining for someone else. I would not recommend anyone to watch this as it's just not very good.Moon Ka-Young is great but she stands alone in her acting. Her peers just aren't very good and their characters lack depth or nuance. Kdramas and their love triangles are tedious. The best kdramas are the ones that don't make this subplot the front and centre of the show.

WHAT WAS THAT FINALE ?
i was STRESSED, you mean everything happened FOR NOTHING??? Maybe I'll be kinda problematic for this opinion but it's just my perception.I like sad endings, i rlly love the feeling of nostalgia and the way things change and that's why I'm a huge fan of dramas like 2125 or moon lovers, but this show REALLY stressed tf outta me 😭, it was confusing, had unnecessary plot twists and a bad ending. It's really sad bc it had incredible memorable moments and the chemistry between the main characters was amazing. I think i am even more disappointed bc i was CRYING at that scene where migyeong and sangsu were in the car and they were breaking up, it was incredibly done and i completely loved it. I srsly think that they stole the show and i do not say that the other actors didn't did well it's just that sangsu and migyeong rlly stole my heart. Idk, At first it was kinda boring then it got better and finally it just went worse 😞 i would not rewatch the show
