The Interest of Love Season 1 Episode 7 Recap
The first season’s episode 7 begins up where the last one left off, with Sang-Su and Mi-gyeong going on a date and later becoming engaged. It has that fresh romance vibe. Su-yeong and Jong-hyeon split up in the meantime. She wants to know why they broke up since she is shocked. Jong-hyeon failed his most recent exam, it has been revealed. He stands up and waves off.
The following day at work, Su-yeong and Sang-su must travel together to a work function. They meet with diverse clients to talk about banking. They are feeling a little uneasy with one another. Mi-gyeong phones Sang-su on the way home from the occasion. Su-yeong and a second coworker are also invited since she wants to have lunch with him. They consequently have lunch. Mi-gyeong makes it clear from the start that she is dating Sang-su. Later, it becomes clear that Sang-su and Su-yeong are really in love with one another. It’s a depressing situation.
As Episode 7 nears its midpoint, Mi-gyeong and Sang-su go camping together. Sang-su has Mi-undivided gyeong’s attention as she takes pleasure in his companionship. Su-yeong pays a visit to Jong-hyeon, who is hardly able to talk. He admits that he is moving. Su-yeong perceives a betrayal. She is informed by Jong-hyeon that his father has passed away. At the scenes, Jong-hyeon is shown visiting his deceased father in the hospital. Although it is a difficult moment for his family, the hospital expenses that follow are expensive. He cannot bear to admit to Su-yeong that he is experiencing severe financial hardship. Su-yeong advises him to consider his choice carefully before leaving.
The following day, Jong-hyeon says that they cannot be together and that he tends to forget a lot of things while he is with her. Su-yeong becomes upset and questions why they can’t hold off on seeing one another until everything is fixed. However, emotions are too strong for reason, and they become argumentative with one another. Sang-su observes this argument from a distance.
Su-yeong is picked up by Mi-gyeong and Sang-su after work so they may both attend a work social function. It is awkward as Mi-gyeong feeds Sang-su while driving. Although it appears that they are proudly displaying their relationship to her, it is not their aim. Su-yeong is constantly thinking about Jong-hyeon and misses him. She decides to exit the vehicle.
She takes a long bus ride to meet Jong-hyeon, who washes cars for additional cash. She is spotted by Jong-hyeon from across the street, and their eyes lock. She expresses her hunger to Jong-hyeon. Mi-gyeong shoots her shot and kisses Su-Yeong when they are out for a walk in the woods, revealing to their friends that they are dating. They receive praise from their coworkers.
Su-yeong is asked by Jong-hyeon why she travelled so far to visit him. She’s uncertain. The well-being of his family is confirmed by Jong-hyeon, who used his security deposit to settle the medical bills. His mother believes he continues to work for the bank. When Su-yeong inquires about his desire to become a police officer, Jong-hyeon replies that such dreams are an unnecessary luxury that they cannot afford.
Ending Explained
Su-yeong reassures Jong-hyeon, hands him a bus ticket, and advises him to move in with him and start again. She threatens to end their relationship if he doesn’t meet her at the bus stop. Su-yeong gently exits after realising Jong-hyeon cannot accept her offer. Jong-hyeon tries to catch the bus as Su-yeong boards it, but it has already left. Fortunately for Jong-hyeon, she exits the bus, and he rushes over to give her a hug.
Sang-su is welcomed inside Mi-apartment gyeong’s in the meantime. If he accepts her offer, we’ll have to wait until Episode 8.
Episode 7 drags on a much. This plodding K-Drama requires more chemistry.
