On The Interest of Love • Jan 27, 2024
Title The Interest of Love
The characters are certainly realistic, but just like the drama, they fall into plot contrivances and regular kdrama trappings (miscommunication, noble self-sacrifices) that really detract from the humanity and imperfection of love, hesitation, social structure -- themes that were supposed to be the drama's heart. The untapped potential coupled with actors doing some of their finest work heighten the disappointment. There's still a worthwhile watch in here somewhere.
