jTBC Drama The Interest of Love Headdesks its Way into An Ending That Stays True to the Entire Frustrating Story

Filming scenes with actors at different locations.

OMG, it’s been a LOOOOOONG time since I remember watching a K-drama as headdesk frustrating as this one.

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 30, 2022 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2022
Two people in emotional conversation at night.

So I checked out new jTBC Wed-Thurs drama The Interest of Love (Understanding of Love) and my impression changed a heck ton between the first and second week.
