Sad and Frustrating
I seen the finale at least 10 times, and I probably continue trying to reconciled with facts that they stoped loving each other. I feel so sad and frustrated at the sane time.I have reading again the lyrics of the songs to realised that they were down the hill from beginning. The writers played with us from day one and give us some sort of hope in the chapter 16 finale.
Too late !!! Unfortunately my hope for a love history was just down the rubbish bin.
Although in my desesperación for them to find their love back, the open ending give me the opportunity to dream
- If they could have a fresh beginning after opening they’ hart’s realised finally after get to the top of the oblivion they were destined to be together.
I hope the writers would give us a better ending in the future when they write a Drama like this. We need a closures as well however I fund the acting and the production excelente!!!

fantasy or reality
It will be a little harsh. Many don't like this drama and give it a bad score because it doesn't satisfy their fantasies. This drama is enough to describe the characters that exist in the real world. And storylines that happen a lot in the real world are also unfinished stories. Unlike other fantasy dramas that always finish the story. That's why this drama did not get good marks in the eyes of the audience. Of course I understand this. Many drama viewers want to run away from reality a little with the fantasy offered by drama shows. But unfortunately they were disappointed because they didn't get it in this drama.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Implicit explanation of an implicit idea
Since ep5 I’ve been shouting at TV. The story is infuriating.Absolutely infuriating. Throwing in a few class differences, sexism issues, bad biz practices doesn’t make it a good story!
What a sh*t character she has!
Her character is beyond comprehension. She came across so bad to me! He is a bit better, but not much!
What saved it for me was the acting.
Kudos to the two leads, it carried a story that could have easily be done in a film!! And all supporting roles were good.
It will be interesting to see if people who can watch it in one go think - watching it weekly was ok, tho the writes ears are probably burning!

Do introverts mate? Not in this drama
This is another one of my hormone-driven viewings (I am seldom proud of them) I convinced myself to undertake with the sole purpose of reliving the strong feelings Yoo Yeon-seok elicited in me during Mr. Sunshine. I was hoping for a modern Dong-mae and, predictably, was disappointed.Sadly, no character in this drama is supposed to be charming. Also, do not be deceived by the word "love" in the title. It may lead you to believe this drama is about the birth of a love story when in fact it is about an aborted one.
We have two introverts that start liking each other and, as tortuous and difficult as their path toward a relationship is, it's not interesting enough to fill 16 episodes.
All the things that are said about introverts and their problematic approach to reality are true, though.
To the unsuspecting eye of an extrovert, the behavior of the characters, the female lead in particular, may seem senseless if not cruel. However, an experienced introvert, like myself, knows that 99% of her choices derive from the fact that she wants but can't let the world see that she does because she thinks she's not allowed to want. So she tries to be content and devotes herself to the next best thing and all her actions hinge on the subsequent guilt and bullheadedness that chains her to her choices. At the same time she is not able to kill the hope of getting what she truly wants and can't lie convincingly.
The male character is just as cowardly and twisted, of course.
Obviously, this is all very toxic for the people involved yet it is not senseless.
These characters' motives are clear to me.
I must be just as damaged as them.
I think this drama gives a realistic, albeit depressing, point of view on adult relationships (romantic relationships as well as workplace relationships). Nonetheless, it gets boring to watch this asinine mating dance of adult insecurities and emotional damage.
I guess the performances are good, yet not outstanding. I am still a fan of Yoo Yeon -seok though.
The ending is as lukewarm as the rest of the series. I don't think there's any true character growth except maybe for Jong-hyun who manages to find his self worth and build on it (and Soo-young is a bit responsible for this growth despite the mess she made of him).
There is no real take home message here save only for the fact that the interest of love might be just as burdensome as the interest on loans. (I wanted to end this with a wise adage or something, but I came up with this cringe motto. I guess it goes well with the realistic and depressing tone of the drama, though)
Female Empowerment Score 3/5 : the women here try to help each other in a difficult, chauvinistic, work environment

The Trouble with The Class System
Having watched the 8 episodes and the preview to episodes 9 the writers have done a masterful job in depicting the wrongs and hardships living in a "Class" based society. The rich and powerful are revered and honored receiving what they at times aren't even qualified while the poor, no matter how hard they try will always be overlooked and held back simply because they are who they are.The misunderstanding between the FL and The ML is not that they don't have an attraction for each other but rather the FL has made the assumption that the ML is part of the upper class because of where he lives, the college school he went to and some of his friends he associates with. She holds a resentment in that she was his superior when he entered the bank and three years latter he is her superior. Her hard work and efforts are continueously overlooked , while her looks are what her superiors deem worthy.
To better understand the series and the characters a breif discription of each would be necessary
The ML is the basic good guy who has a hard time talking about himself......... he lets his actions speak for themselves. Raised by a widowed mother whose husband's actions placed the family in hardships they couldn't imagine. The ML became the devoted son that didn't whine and cause trouble for his mother but rather worked hard and helped by not getting in trouble, getting scholarships to elite schools and being liked by everyone that comes in contact with him.......... He is a good and kind man.
The FL is a beautiful, talented and very driven girl who only wants to be recognized for her efforts and not her family background. After her brothers death that she idolized.......... she blamed her father for his death and distanced herself from them, leaving herself to be all alone in the big city. With her efforts and hardwork always being overlooked she appears to project herself as cold and aloof and jumping to conclusions if she would've taken a breath and just listened........ Her biggest problem in dissing the ML that truely cares fore her.
The SFL is not what she appears to be......... she is the spoiled rich girl who is use to getting everything she wants. Working as Assistant Manager as her father says working for "Jump Change" she loves the attention of the lower class and is willing to use them to achieve her goals. From day one transferring to the Bank........ she resented that the FL was considered the " The Goddess" ......... that was unacceptable for a vain spoiled girl like her. Everything she does for the FL in the name of frienship is only done to make the FL feel even more inferior than she already is.
The SML is also a good guy, but not in the realm of the ML. He is a dreamer that has accepted his place in the class system making himself feel good with his dreams. This was seen in how quickly he wanted to return to his former life after a setback. The FL though she wanted some form of attachment to allieviate her loneliness quickly realized that ML is the one even though she still refuses to admit it.
What I found interesting each week is how the previews to the next episodes are deliberately shown to misdirect the viewers attention. How the the romances will revolve ....... It is my opinion they will come about once the parents of each have their say.
The mother of the SFL has become besties with the mother of the ML ......... that friendship will come to an end because she can't have her daughter marry the son of someone that washes her feet. The parents of the FL will give praise to the ML lead in how often he takes the lead in helping whenever he is in the restaurant.
The Next 8 episodes should be rather interesting in that the misdirection that was shown in the first 8 episodes will slowly unwind. If It doesn't pan out that way I will have fun in making it happen in fan fiction.

As metáforas são muito boas e reflexivas
O enredo deste K-drama se passa no escritório de uma das filias do banco KCU e acompanha as histórias de quatro personagens. Dizem que ficou muito a desejar como tentaram mostrar o realismo de como é sentir as emoções de cada um dos personagens. Talvez um pouco, mas com os 4 principais, onde os caminhos se cruzam, traz o sentimento de como é estar tentando fazer de tudo por amor, até onde conseguimos ir por alguém. Até onde vamos? O quanto isso pode doer se arriscar assim, certo?Pois se jogar em relacionamentos, não é algo fácil e de vez enquanto a casos em que insistimos mesmo que lá no fundo sentimos que não seja certo, que não é aquilo que queremos de fato. 'Investimento de Risco' trás tudo isso entre os personagens, Com Sang-Soo e Soo-Young, O policial e rica da Min yeong, todos dando de tudo para darem certo, mas no final ao experimentar as complexidades de relações seguem caminhos diferentes quando tentavam de tudo e para manter seus empregos intactos a todo custo, se investindo tudo.
O dorama trás reflexões com metáforas simbólicas, que facilmente conseguimos pensar sobre nós mesmos dia nossa vida, E nos sentimos próximos ao personagem as suas emoçõesm, o que me atraiu muito foi essa proximidade e a sensação humana para o dorama, algo mais pé no chão.

Denso e dramático
Este é um dorama que foge da linha usual. Vale aqui um aviso para aqueles que procuram um rom-com levinho: este não é um deles. Muito denso, mais lento que o normal e com enorme tensão e carga emocional. Para entender as atitudes dos personagens, que à primeira vista são levianas e incoerentes, é preciso assistir mais de uma vez a série e vê-la com os olhos e sentimentos de cada um deles. Cada gesto, reação e fala dos personagens têm significados importantes para a compreensão do enredo. As últimas cenas, por mais que pareçam que encaminham para um final aberto, dão pistas claras que não. Pela resposta do ML, "Nada, absolutamente nada", indica que os dois finalmente se encontraram curados e amadurecidos e estão prontos para se amarem e procurarem a felicidade futura juntos. A lição que fica: a vida é cheia de arrependimentos, por isso devemos em certos momentos ter a coragem de dizer ou fazer algo pela nossa felicidade.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

What did I just watch?
Ngl, I am so confused with this k-drama. Read mixed reviews, before watching it, thinking people are being too harsh on it. But for me, the 'quality watch' ended with episodes 9/10. It honestly just goes downhill from there.From the start, I liked the idea, that finally, a kdrama is normalising couples living together without getting married, and talking about people's previous relationships etc., but oh boy why would fl ruin so many lives without any deeper motive? If the writer's main objective was to make people think about the consequences of their actions and to bring as much controversy as possible, then well done... But I wouldn't say that was the right way to do it.
Maybe I am not understanding something here, and there are some hidden meanings behind it, but overall I would end watching this drama at episode 10 - a tip for everyone who doesn't want to get confused and disappointed with the plot and main leads' actions.

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.

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.

Bad script+ good acting
I had very high expectations from this one, the acting of ml and both fls is pretty good so is the chemistry of ml with both fls..Sml character is with no backbone and very medicore acting..
But the main point is that, in trying to show realistic romance it has become too unrealistic and draggy to watch..
Almost no character development and pretty static story from start to end.. it was first time for me that a drama with 16 ep with almost 1.5 hr episodes has this little progression in the terms of storyline..
Don't watch , if you are not a fan of the actors..

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.
