THE INTEREST OF LOVE

THE CHARACTERS, INSTITUTIONS, COMPANIES,
AND PLACES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

-You're here.
-Hey.

You're home early.

The audit ended a little early.

I wonder if your mother arrived safely.

The Thai airport is a busy place.

Right.

I heard you gave her some spending money.

Thank you.

It's not a big deal.

EPISODE 9

Mr. Ha.

Mr. Ha.

Yes?

Ms. Ahn.

This is bad.

The groom has to enter,
but Mr. Yang is gone.

What?

Have you found him yet?

No, but Mr. Ha.
This building has a rooftop.

I'll go take a look.

Hey, you punk. What in the world…

Why are you here, Seok-hyeon?

How can Jeong-eun do this to me?

What is it?

She told me…

She told me to be happy.

I'm marrying another woman
after four years with her.

How can she say that?

How can I be happy without Jeong-eun?

You're getting married today.
You need to pull it together.

Sang-su, I won't get married.
I'm not going to get married.

Darn it.

Please welcome the bride and groom.

I can't believe that happened.

I knew he'd go through with it.

Right.

He would've done it anyway.

Everyone, please look at the camera.

Excuse me. The tall man in the second row.

Me?

Yes, please switch places
with the man behind you.

Darn it.

Here we go now. Please look at the camera.

One, two, three.

THE INTEREST OF LOVE

Ms. Park.

-It's been a while.
-Hello.

It's nice to run into you.

Have you been well?

Is your father doing well?

Yes.

Hello, Director.

-May I speak with you?
-Shall we?

Yes.

Ms. Park?

Yes.

Hey.

Looks like your girlfriend
knows the director too.

Good for you, Sang-su.

What are you doing here?
I didn't see you during the banquet.

I don't think I should have come.

You work with everyone too.
I'm sure Mr. Yang will be happy you came.

Should we get going?

Actually, I'm a little hungry too.

Let's go eat something good.

Okay.

Is his name really Ha Sang-su?

Yes.

Funny, right?
I thought it sounded strange.

Anyway, he was one good-looking man.

But that's not everything.

He was raised by a single mother…

I mean…

Of course,
there are great single mothers like you.

I'm not that narrow-minded.

It's just that my husband
is very conservative.

Did you know you need to get married

within six months
after catching the bouquet

or it won't happen for three years?

That's just a superstition.

Superstitions are based on statistics.

Superstitions are just superstitions.

Why does my stomach feel so queasy?

Let's go to your place.

I want to stay and have some ramyeon.

What's with that look?
I'm only staying for ramyeon.

Sure. I didn't say anything.

We could've gone somewhere better.

This is my favorite.

Why don't we do something this weekend?

Oh, right.

No, it's okay.
I was going to take the weekend off.

Then let's go to the flower market
early in the morning.

Sure. Sounds great.

Or maybe an art gallery?
There's an exhibition I'm interested in.

That sounds good too.

How about a trip to the ocean?

I like the ocean too.

What's going on, Jong-hyeon?

What?

Why are you saying yes to everything?

Because you want to do those things.

Then are you just trying to please me?

I like doing those things too.

Forget it.

I want some alone time,
so you should go study.

-Are you done?
-Yes.

Shall we go?

-Let me get it.
-Next time.

Excuse me.

Here. Thank you.

Let's go.

All done.

Gosh, this looks good.

I'm sorry, Sang-su.
I don't think I can eat that.

What? Why not?

I'm sorry.
I don't feel good all of a sudden.

What is it? Do you feel sick?

I think I ate too much at the wedding.

-I'll take medicine and sleep.
-Let me drive you.

No, stay home.
It's just a short taxi ride away.

I'll call when I get home.

What's that?

Wine, but it's not that great.

I used to drink this a lot before.

You said that I don't have
to please you in every way.

I don't want you to do that for me either.

Go back to the wine bar
and the gallery you used to stop by

after work.

I only stopped because I enjoyed
staying home with you more.

This is even better than I remember.

Thank you.

And take this too.

It's for living expenses. It's not much.

You don't have to do this.

It'll make me feel better.

Okay, then. I'll accept it.

How about a toast?

Here's to passing your exam.

Cheers.

Hey, Mom.

I'm home.

I'm alone, of course.

Why did you call ahead?
You've never done that before.

I thought you might be with someone.

And who would that be?

Park Mi-gyeong.

Are you two really dating?

And did you two meet today?

How did you know?

She's a regular at my shop.
She and her mom are my VIP clients.

Ms. Park's mother gave you
that necktie as a gift.

We became friends.

Did you know about her family
when you got into this?

What's her family like?

The landlord of my shop
is friends with her mom.

They're in the same group.

And the poorest one in that group is
my landlord, who owns the shop building.

But still, I support your relationship.

I like that you're dating someone
and living your life.

Take some jangjorim too.

Ha Sang-su,
you are just as good as she is.

BLIND DATE?

Ms. Park, the handover files
are on your desk.

Thank you, Ms. Ahn.

And this is yours.

Thank you, Su-yeong.

-Did you like her too?
-Who?

Ms. Ahn.

You didn't know, did you?

Like you said,

I'm not 100% ready yet.

Were you really single that whole time?
Not even a crush?

Ahn Su-yeong!

What's going on with you and Sang-su?

Do you like Mr. Ha?

What?

Did you get home okay?
Are you feeling okay?

MY PERSON

It's heavy.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TAKE ONE

Hey.

Sang-su, I'm sorry.
I don't think I can make it today.

Why? Is something the matter?

No, something important suddenly came up.

Right. I see.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

Okay, I'll call you.

Bye.

ASSISTANT MANAGER
PARK MI-GYEONG

-You're home.
-Are you going out?

Ms. Park wants to see me.

I finished early because it's the weekend.

I'll be home soon. I won't be late.

No, you should have fun today.

What happened here?

I was getting tired
of watering the plants,

and I rarely play the piano anyway,
so I got rid of everything.

It's better to have all this out here
than in your room, right?

I'm going to be late. See you soon.

Su-yeong.

Let's talk for a moment.

I had to think long and hard
about moving into your home.

I moved in,
pretending as if you'd convinced me…

but I sometimes wondered
if I had been waiting…

for you to ask me.

Whenever that happened…

I felt really small and pathetic.

Jong-hyeon, what's this about?

The veranda.

If you do this, then how can I stay here?

What did I do?

I'm disrupting your life.

I made you give up a room
and empty out the veranda.

You keep giving up
or compromising because of me,

but it's too much.

So I really don't know what to do.

Do you regret it?

Do you regret moving in with me?

You're right about the veranda.

I wouldn't have cleaned it out
if I lived alone.

You were part of the reason, but…

why is that a bad thing?

If I were in your situation,
wouldn't you have done the same for me?

Would you have just sat
and watched as I struggled?

Su-yeong.

It's not that.

Tell me.

No. I'm sorry.

I'll be back.

Let's grab a drink.

Next time.

Why? Do you have a date?

Everyone knows
that you're dating Ms. Park.

And here I thought you had
something going on with Ms. Ahn.

I saw you two at the training institute,

and I asked you
to set her up with me, but you said no.

Anyway, you now have
a solid insurance plan in place.

If you marry Ms. Park,

you won't have to worry
about money even if you quit.

Is there something wrong?

Why?

Just because.

You look a little down.

I'm very happy these days.

Things are going great with Sang-su.

Maybe that's why
I want to know more about him.

What was he like?

You two worked together for a long time.

I thought you'd know more about him.

Was he really single all those years?

Did he at least like someone?

Or maybe flirt a bit?

Things like that
sometimes happen at the bank, right?

No?

I really don't know.

Right.

Who cares about all that?

I'm the one he's with now…

and I'm the one he likes.

Right?

Let's have another glass of wine.

Choose one while I go to the ladies' room.

Okay.

MY PERSON

Was he really single all those years?

Did he at least like someone?
Or maybe flirt a bit?

Things like that
sometimes happen at the bank, right?

Su-yeong, are you asleep?

No.

May I come in?

Sure.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For being such a useless person.

But still…

I like you a lot, Su-yeong.

I know.

That's why I'm staying here.

I know.

Hello.

Oh, you're here early.

I had to open today.

I just made some coffee.

Would you like a cup?

No, thank you.

Okay.

LOCKER ROOM

I'd like a cup once I get changed, though.

Sure.

POSITION TRANSFER APPLICATION

Are you applying for a position transfer?

Not this time.

I heard there will be openings at HQ
next quarter. Are you going to apply?

I'm not sure. I'll have to see.

One second.

Take this.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

You have to prepare
for the in-house test as well.

If you start reading that now, it'll help.

But you need this too, Mr. Ha. I'm fine.

It's okay.

Remember when you gave me your notes?

I'm just paying you back.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Sure.

And please feel free to ask questions.

You've become a good clerk.

You trained me well, Ms. Ahn.

Hey, you're here.

Good morning.

Are you feeling okay?

Totally.

I'm sorry I stood you up yesterday.

Did you have fun alone?

I went and played some hockey.

I knew that my boyfriend
would be fine on his own.

Come on. Stop that.

Why don't we get a cup of coffee?

Do you want some too?

-Yes.
-Okay.

Why did you leave early after the wedding?

I wanted to go to the afterparty with you.

Oh, something came up.

Like a date with Mr. Jeong?

I saw you two leaving together.

Don't worry. It was just me.

So you can take a breather.

What if Mr. Lee and Mr. Ma saw you two?

They would've gone on and on
with their non-stop blabbering.

But you know,
you should still be a bit careful.

Sorry?

I didn't realize it before,
but now that I know, it's so obvious.

He was concerned for you all morning long.

Gosh, I miss the good old days of dating
when your relationship runs hot and cold.

As you get older,
you don't really feel much anymore.

I guess that's why we fall in love
and date passionately while we're young.

Breaking up is inevitable,

but couples lie to each other
as if they'll last forever.

But you know,

now that I think about it,

those were my shining moments.

Like what you're experiencing now.

Hey.

No matter what happens,
just make sure that you're happy.

Thank you, Ms. Seo.

The interest rate
at your other bank is rather high.

I can't even pay the interest
because sales have gone down so much.

Is there anything you can do?

I think I can help you find a new loan
with a lower interest rate.

And our bank has a program
for small business owners

where we provide
financial consultation and support.

Would you like to apply for it?

If you're selected, you can operate
your funds in a more systematic way.

-Thank you.
-Thank you for coming.

Number 312. I can help you here.

How may…

Ha Sang-su.

Hey!

You're a huge success.

So should I call you CEO Park now?

Come on. I'm here for a loan.
I just look shiny on the outside.

I thought you'd never return to Korea
when you left school for Australia.

Going through all the hardships there
made me miss Korea.

Let me know if I can repay you in any way.

I know how important
performance is to a clerk.

And you kept me
on the straight and narrow.

Come on, that's ancient history.

It really was a long time ago, right?

Oh.

Is everyone doing well?

Remember Gyeong-pil and Mi-gyeong?

-From our major?
-Yes.

They both work at our branch.

Gyeong-pil and Mi-gyeong?

Hey, you remember them.

They'll be thrilled to see you.
Should I call them?

So those two are
working in the same office?

Yes.

My gosh.

Didn't you know?

They dated.

Wait, were you in the army?

Gyeong-pil was Mi-gyeong's first love.

They broke up

because Gyeong-pil went
and slept around with all of her friends.

Mi-gyeong made a huge scene,
crying and everything.

If you liked the food there,

we can go to that place near…

You say you like me so much now,

but you couldn't
care less about me back in college.

So whom did you
give your heart to instead?

What's on your mind?

What's with the look?

Oh, it's nothing.

What are you doing today?

Today? Why?

My friends want to see you.

If it's okay with you,
I'd like you to meet them.

What do you think?

Are you meeting Gyeong-pil again?

Don't hang out with him so much.
His nosiness might rub off on you.

I don't have any plans.
Let's do that tonight.

-Really?
-Yes.

You're sweet, so you get a gift.
Go open your cabinet.

Go on ahead.

Okay.

No way. Did you get this?

Sorry?

It's this season's new suit.
It looks even better in person.

Wait.

My gosh.

Look at you, Sang-su.

Going out and buying
a five million won suit for yourself.

You can take this back now.

Here you go.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Hi, Jong-hyeon.

I'm sleeping over
at my friend's place tonight.

I hope you get some good rest too.

-Sang-su, you're here.
-Hey.

Come in.

-So?
-He's here.

-Hey.
-He's here?

This is my boyfriend. Isn't he handsome?

Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

They're like this, Sang-su.
We've been friends since kindergarten.

We go way back, but you're
the first boyfriend she has brought here.

Is that so?

You seem a little quiet, though.

Are we boring you?

-Not at all.
-Hey.

Then ask him some fun questions.

You know, like how we met,
or what he likes so much about me.

-Come on.
-I'm not curious.

-I don't want to know.
-Is that good?

-Let's just drink.
-Okay.

Room service charges add up
to 1.28 million won.

How would you like to pay?

-I'll pay in full.
-Okay.

Actually, can I pay in three installments?

Sure, of course.

I had a lot of fun today.

I was planning on buying, but thanks.

Don't mention it.

My friends say you're cool.
You totally pass.

I should thank them.

Your car is here.

It's a surprise present.

We'll get going, then.

-Okay, bye.
-Bye.

-Get in, Sang-su.
-Bye.

-Bye.
-See you.

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

What's with the car?

Why? Don't you like it?

Mi-gyeong.

I told you.

-It's a surprise present.
-How is this a present?

Both this car…

and this suit are too much.

It isn't compared to how I feel about you.

You're good to me too.

Why is that okay, but not these gifts?

Because they're expensive?

Sang-su. To me, money is about luck.

I have it because I'm lucky.

It has nothing to do with my effort.

Your car is old, and I can buy you this.

Can you please just accept it?

Why won't you…

consider the thought that went into this?

I'll take my car home. You should go.

It wasn't that you couldn't come.

-Why are you here?
-Why are you here?

You must be here with Ms. Park.

Are you here with Mr. Jeong?

Yes.

I'll see you later, then.

Okay.

Seasons passed.

Once I get married…

I want to live here.

For some, it was an anxious time.

I thought you could use it for the test.

Thank you.

You got this.

Some felt desperate.

While others had to remain calm.

Did your interview go well?

No, what about you?

Me neither.

Shall we?

Time passed…

for everyone, but in their own way.

TEST ID SLIP
JEONG JONG-HYEON

SU-YEONG

And…

something…

began to change.

Jong-hyeon, what happened?

I couldn't reach you for days.
I was so worried.

What's wrong? What is it?

I just wanted to clear my head.
I went to see my friend in Gangneung.

You could've at least called.

I'm sorry. I couldn't charge my phone.

I need to take a shower.

What did you get?

Just this and that.

Your cardigan, my pajamas,
and you ran out of body wash,

so I got that too.

Are you moving in?

Should I?
It'll be practice for the real thing.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

I starved all day so that
I could have some of your cooking.

So how about some food?

What should we eat?

INTERNET CAFÉ
48 HOURS, 30,000 WON

This kimchi is delicious.
Did you buy this too?

No, my mom made it.
She makes kimchi herself.

When are you going
to introduce me to your mother?

It's about time we did that, right?

We need to talk.

What happened to your face?

Something happened.

-Let me take a look.
-I'm fine.

You didn't go to your friend's house.

I did.

I did go,

but we got into a fight.

Then why didn't you come home?

I didn't want to.

I failed the test.

I didn't know how to tell you.

It's okay.

You can try again.

I heard even people
who prepared for years fail too.

It was just a few points last time,

-but this time--
-I did worse this time.

And I might do worse next time.

No, it'll all work out.

-Everything will be--
-Stop that.

Will you stop saying that?
What do you mean everything will be fine?

Do you know why I fought with my friend?

Come on. What's so hard about life?
Who cares if you failed some test?

Your pretty girlfriend feeds you,
gives you shelter,

and you know,

everything else you want.

You bastard.

But what he said wasn't wrong.

I have nowhere else to go.

I should have…

I never should've
come here in the first place.

2022 POSITION TRANSFER FINAL RESULT CHECK

AHN SU-YEONG
YOU DID NOT PASS THE TEST

2022 POSITION TRANSFER FINAL RESULTS

NEXT: HQ PERSONNEL APPOINTMENT

PERSONS ON THE LIST ARE APPOINTED
AS OF OCTOBER 31ST, 2022

KCU BANK HQ APPOINTMENTS

PARK SEONG-SIK, YANG JUN-HO,
GU HUI-JEONG, KANG IL-JU

AN GUK-JEONG, KIM MIN-JUN, PARK JEONG-SUK

Mr. Yuk must've pulled some strings.

You got level one on the in-house test

and got extra points
for winning the contest.

Your performance is great as well.

That's the only reason
you didn't make the cut.

There could be another reason.
The competition for HQ is really high.

Good grief.

So why did you meddle in the first place?

Jeez. Here.

Didn't you quit smoking?

It's harder to quit these days.

-This is really good. Try some.
-Gosh.

-Look.
-My gosh.

-Try this.
-Hello.

Let's see.

Mr. Jeong, you're here early.

What happened to your face?

I'm just a little tired.

Come and have some.

Come and sit here.

Anyway, as I was saying,

I looked into this.
Remember Ahn Su-yeong's revolt?

Mr. Yuk was reprimanded back then,
thanks to Mr. Ha.

I thought it was because of my interview.

So Mr. Ha didn't make it
to HQ for helping Ms. Ahn?

He's such a great guy, right?

Good for you
for having such a great boyfriend.

Anyway, did you know about this?

Of course. I told him he did a great job.

He has a strong sense
of justice, you know?

-You're here.
-Hey.

-Hi, Su-yeong.
-Hey.

-Come and eat some.
-Okay.

Please excuse me. Thank you for the food.

-Try a bite.
-Have some.

Try it before it turns cold.

-Is this made with milk?
-What do you think?

-I think so.
-Yes.

I understand.

Ms. Ahn.

A moment, please.

Mr. Ha.

Remember Mr. Kim Seong-hun?

Yes.

He passed away last night.

Can you two go there
and pay your respects on our behalf?

Not only was he a long-time VIP client,

he was also kind enough
to ignore the withdrawal incident.

So we should pay our respects to him.

Please leave once you're ready.

-Yes.
-Yes, sir.

Going out for work?

Can't you tell?

Are you going to the reunion?

I mean, Sang-su can't go,
so if you're free, let's go together.

Do you think I've forgotten
what you've done?

I mean…

You were acting pretty cool with me,
so I thought we were good.

Our end was too vulgar to forget.

By the way…

Did you know?

Know what?

That Sang-su stepped up to help Su-yeong.

Yes, well…

I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it.

Mr. Yuk was crazy back then.

Are you all right?

Why wouldn't I be?

Sang-su is kind, unlike someone I know.

What makes Sang-su…

so different?

People are all the same.

If you trust him that much,
why are you so anxious?

Who's anxious? Me?

Sang-su went that far to help Su-yeong,

and now they're going
to a funeral outside the city.

That's why you're anxious.

You're wrong.

I'm sorry to say this about Su-yeong,
but anyone would've felt sorry for her.

And Sang-su can't turn a blind eye
to people who need help.

Why are you laughing?

Do you know the most dangerous thing
when it comes to men and women?

Romance?

Romance can't win over morals or ethics.

No, the most dangerous thing

is feeling pity and sympathy.

Those emotions
make it impossible to look away.

I hope
your love for Sang-su will continue.

This time, at least.

DEEPEST CONDOLENCES

You haven't had anything to eat, right?

Come on. Let's eat.

The living must keep going.

Isn't that a strange thing to say?

"The living must keep going."

That's not comforting.

My father passed away
when I was about his age.

Back then, I couldn't even cry.

It must've been difficult.

You were too young to know
what death was, let alone face it.

"The living must keep going."

Back then, that expression scared me.

"Things may be sad and hard,
but don't let that take control of you."

"You need
to cope with it and get over it."

That's what it sounded like to me.

Some people told me

that I had to be twice as happy
for my brother's sake.

I remember you saying
that your brother was 27.

If he were still alive, yes.

There was an accident.

We laughed and ate breakfast that morning,

but he died that day.

He was a kid with many dreams.

He was bright and always smiled.

After he died…

I even thought about
living miserably on purpose.

But that made me feel even worse for him.

That's when I decided
that I should try and be happy instead.

And that's what I'm doing right now.

JEONG JONG-HYEON

I suddenly had to go to a funeral,
so I think I'll be late.

What are you up to?

Nothing much.

It looks like you're on a picnic.

You regret it, don't you?

You didn't make it to HQ
because you helped me.

Of course, I regret it.

But if I didn't do anything back then,

I would've regretted that more.

You didn't make it either, right?

Right.

Here's a tangerine to cheer you up.

I'm going to try again, though.

And if I fail again,
then I'll apply again later.

You're pretty brave.

I won't let
something like this bring me down.

This is how I fight.

In a moment,
this train will stop at Jeongdongjin,

Jeongdongjin Station.

Please watch your step
as you get off onto the platform.

This is nice.

It's so nice.

Su-yeong.

Should we get off here?

Mr. Ha, you should try this too.

It feels cool.

The water seems freezing, though.

But it feels warm
when you're in the water.

I'm serious.

I guess you don't believe me.

Okay.

See what you get for being too careful?
You got wet anyway.

Did you just lie to me? It's freezing.

Yes, I lied to you.

Are they still wet?

Yes. Thanks to a certain someone.

Thank you.

Why? Do you hate steamed silkworms?

No.

You don't seem to like it. Can you eat it?

Yes, of course. I like it. I eat it often.

Dig in, then.

That's it?

I thought you said
you liked it and ate it often.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Really?

No.

It's my first time
seeing you smile like that.

We couldn't go to the beach
even when we were on Jeju Island,

but here we are now.

Did you want to go to the beach back then?

Why didn't you tell me?

I should have.

I should've made myself clear.

I think it's too late.

We should get going.

Thank you for today.

For what?

Just everything.

I had a good laugh
for the first time in ages, thanks to you.

Are you happy?

Sorry?

Earlier today,
you said that you're trying your best.
