Together today, tomorrow, till the end.
Sincere, relevant, unforgettable and ahead of its time.
This is more gonna be a warning rather than a review.
The Interest of Love is for people who are into psychology and sociology, melodramas and slow burns. This is not a conventional romance but a romance depicting modern Korean society. Besides, the genre is noir. This is the opposite of what you could call "dreamy escape" from the K-Dramas people love and are accustomed to. If you want to learn about the society and adult relationships in Korea, look no further. I know that many people are not aware, but the lack of communication often shown in Korean dramas is not only a storytelling element, but an actual cultural issue, which is why it's so often reflected in dramas. This drama proves it. Overall, you can look forward to a beautiful « analysis » between desire and love, and trust and the fact of being reassured in a relationship. The Interest of Love is a drama all in nuances, simply because the world, and ultimately people, aren't all black and white, but have many shades of grey. Although the setting is Korean, many adults around the world could relate to this story, at least to some extent. In fact, The Interest of Love is the adaptation of a critically-acclaimed novel in Korea, named "Understanding Love" which is the drama's korean title. The adaptation was also acclaimed by critics and recognized as one of the best K-Dramas of 2022 by industry experts.
Mantra by everyone who signed up for The Interest of Love’s chaos: “Everyone is flawed. I'm gonna sit and watch.”
Get it or not, The Interest of Love is a masterclass in directing, acting and writing. The storytelling and attention to detail are really clever, and the mundane beauty of this drama is something that no other can match.
Overall, a very unusual and philosophical show with a unique setting.
