Investimento de Risco

If a romantic drama series is going to conclude with an unresolved ending that leaves it up to the viewer to decide whether the couple end up together or not, then the journey toward that ending has to be sufficiently rewarding. I don't think that it is in this case.

The series is very well acted, and has a good ensemble cast, however i found the scriptwriting very disappointing.

This series would have us believe that nearly every Korean lives with their head in the sand, and is unable to carry on a frank conversation, even when they are in private.

I found the main relationship to be unrealistic, with the primary couple failing at every opportunity to behave in a normal human manner.

They appear to prefer talking in riddles, than hashing out their situation like regular people would.

In fact the only main character that seemed to behave in a rational manner was So Kyung Pil, who was too often portrayed as the villain for only being honest to himself and others.

When i compare the writing here to two of my favourite Korean romantic dramas - One Spring Night (Bombam), and Something In The Rain - i find that it pales in comparison.

It is at least better than My Liberation Diary, which meandered along and went nowhere, but not by much.

Despite my frustration with the actions and decisions of the characters, I watched it all the way through in the hope that I would at least be rewarded with a satisfactory ending. Alas i was again disappointed. It is possible to conclude a romantic story successfully with an open ending - watch My Mister for a prime example - however The Interest Of Love fails in that department too, due to the inferior writing.

In the end I felt that my time could have been better invested elsewhere, and am still craving to find another Korean romantic drama of the standard of the aforementioned three series.

I thought the actors were all pretty good. I just can't stand these depressing stories. Ironically the second leading man was also in Love Alarm, another K-Drama I couldn't stand. Currently on episode 15 and it's heading towards a sad ending, or perhaps another ending similar to Love Alarm, where the writer keeps you in the dark regarding the true emotions of the female lead. Also, others have mentioned how they disliked the normalization of cheating, and I agree regarding that sentiment, however, I don't believe any of the characters actually cheated...I think they made others believe that they cheated... hopefully I will find this out tomorrow.

Ugh, I'll be watching finale tomorrow, but if you haven't started, and you prefer happy endings, go watch something else, like It's Okay to Not Be Okay (my absolute favorite K-Drama).

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

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

I have 3 episodes left and am really enjoying this show. The actors have a lot of depth and the story is engaging. Having watched Yoo Yeon-Seok in Mr. Sunshine (a must watch!), he is not disappointing in this show and I mainly watched it to see him at first. He conveys the implied emotion on his face without even saying a word, he is a very good actor!

This is a show about love and discrimination based on upbringing and the amount of money you have. It also shows us how important timing can be to a relationship and how the choices we make affect not only ourselves, but can have a profound impact on others.

I am puzzled by the low ratings given by other viewers. Perhaps they like action or crazy storylines, or perhaps they like popcorn shows where they dont have to think much and where there isn't much character development?

In any case, go into it with an open mind and don't let the other reviews prevent you from watching. At least give it a chance.

On my opinion actors showed all kinds of emotions very well. The kdrama shows struggle to find the love in this life and I think a lot of us can empathize with tot.

Feels like a real human story. Also describes well the specific Korean complexity in society.

I like this non standard story, and there are much less cliche than in other kdramas.

After it a lot of thoughts and questions appeared in my mind. And the feelings are good and calm. Appreciate the love in my life)) The actors were pretty good too. The scenes of Korea are beautiful as usual with all the seasons.

Not for everyone, because it is all about relationships and emotions.

I think it is underrated, the kdrama is really interesting.
