JTBC’s Understanding of Love gives longing looks and love squares

JTBC’s Understanding of Love gives longing looks and love squares


JTBC just dropped the first teaser for their upcoming romance melodrama Understanding of Love, giving off a slice-of-life meets second-chance yearning. We follow lives of four hardworking employees who work at KCU Bank. As they work day in day out to make a name for themselves, they’ll navigate the messy and complex maze of love in their own ways.

Yoo Yeon-seok (Narco-Saints) leads the pack of employees as chief branch manager Ha Sang-soo. He’s the rock of the branch, a dependable hard-working figure that’s been there for three years. Of course, his workplace life is also rife with unresolved romantic tension via his coworker senior bank teller Ahn Soo-young, played by Moon Ga-young (Link: Eat, Love, Kill).

Soo-young, having worked at the bank for four years, has seen it all, from the crazy customers to the unreasonable upper management. She’s been able to keep a pleasant demeanor and work through most problems, but she’s a complete cynic when it comes to love, especially with our branch manager Sang-soo.

Finally, our love square is only complete when we throw deputy manager Park Mi-kyung — played by Geum Sae-rok (Youth of May) — and security guard Jung Jong-hyun — played by Jung Ga-ram (Love Alarm 2) — into the mix. The bubbly Mi-kyung, while coming from a wealthy family, is out here trying to make a name for herself. Meanwhile, Jong-hyun is a cop wannabe studying for the police entrance exam. Both will fall in love with our leads, adding to the complicated web that is a workplace romance. But in dramaland, would we really want it any other way?

The teaser gives us very wistful “the one that got away” longing. We see a shot of happier times between Sang-soo and Soo-young, contrasted with their professionalism present day. In the voiceover, we also hear Soo-young tell Sang-soo, “You asked me once before if things would’ve been different had we started dating…” which is interrupted by shots of our central duo being asked out by their other coworkers: Sang-soo being asked out by Mi-kyung and Soo-young getting a rain-soaked confession from Jong-hyun. We then hear Soo-young finish her voiceover thought: “No, we would never have worked together.”

We get a couple of more wistful looks between all our characters and end on Sang-soo’s response in voiceover, “Is that really all you came to say?”

Based on the novel by Lee Hyuk-jin, adapted into screenplay by Lee Hyun-jung and Lee Seo-hyun, and directed by Jo Young-min (Do You Like Brahms?), Understanding of Love will air on December 21 on JTBC.
