Que le plazca a la corte

First thing i have to mention is that the 3/4 last dramas of Park Min Young have been literally the same, it feels like I have watched her portraying the same exact characters but with different male leads ( what's wrong with secretary Kim, Forecasting Love and weather, Her Private Life...) she is completely stuck with the roles she picks and that doesn't allow me to see how she actually performs ( if she can)

The concept of the series is somewhat original but feels more like a modern version geisha or gisaeng stories ( like when in the past they would literally kidnap and breed girls to be the perfect submissive male companions. Yet somehow in a modern society it doesn't work well and there's too many things and wholes that makes zero sense.

I am not a fan of love triangles ( usually) but sometimes if its well done and the script is well written, it does work and you end up suffering wanting to know what happens and who will be the triumphant ending couple.

This is not the case in the majority of kdramas unfortunately, including this one.

The love triangle here is just causing underdeveloped characters, and storylines left halfway. There's not enough time in the show to deepen into the layers of the main characters and you can't even get invested enough with the secondary lead either for the same reason.

If you ignore everything around the main story and just focus on the development of the main couple you will be able to enjoy their chemistry, its good enough to keep you entertained for a few hours, just don't try to think of it as a smart story that makes sense.

It's just...meh. We've seen the fake marriage trope a million times, and this one doesn't do anything groundbreaking. The "contract wife" idea had so much potential, but the show kind of just meanders around without ever really making it anything fresh or exciting.

I don't know what it is, but there's something about the main female lead that just doesn't click with me. Maybe it's her delivery, or the way she plays the role...?

The chemistry between her and the male lead is decent at best, but it's far from the sizzling, can't-look-away kind of romance the drama wants you to believe it is. You know what I'm talking about-the kind of romance that makes you root for them to get together. Yeah, this isn't that.

The pacing? Oh boy. It's like watching paint dry in slow motion. The show drags on and on with repetitive scenarios that you've seen a hundred times before, but with none of the charm.

It's like they're checking off a list of rom-com tropes but forgot to add the fun. It's cute, sure, but it's not worth the hype. If you're in the mood for something that's light and easy, go ahead and watch. But don't expect to be blown away.

Korean Drama " Love in Contract " has a good story in theory, but the execution was weak.

The dynamics between a strong, independant and girly woman and a moody, closed up man were spot on, for starters. However, the love story lacked pace, had few romantic moments that were added awkwardly into the story and, overall, it lost its enjoyament since it felt parcial.

The love triangle, moreover, was boring and the two leads had zero chemistry, which did not aid at all.

Also, the main character was annoying and acting immature most of the time, though the actress did a good job with her performance.

Finally, the drama got boring after the first episodes and messy when it came to its plot.

So, overall, two out of ten.

I got hooked early with this one based on the main characters personalities, backgrounds and stories. So much potential. However, sloppy story telling, inconsistent dialogue (some touching and some cringe-worthy) and situations that are not realistic (e.g. How does she constantly show up to the guys place without disguise and not be discovered by paparazzi?) lessened my enjoyment. Drags a bit in the last few episodes (it probably could have been 2 less episodes to create a tighter story with a faster pace). We finished it but felt the potential of the story wasn't realized. I can't fully recommend you take the time when there are so many other good Korea series out there.

No this show is so cute I didn't expect to like it this much but it's a 10/10 for me because the way it had me smiling and giggling every episode like oh my god. And kyung Pyo I love him omg I actually love him. His role in this drama is so likeable like he's so oblivious but it's so cute I literally wanna cry. He's honestly such a good actor like one of my favs. And min-young did such an amazing job as usual. I never get tired of her cause she's such a versatile actress. And omg Hyung Suk might have been my fav in this whole show. His character is so likeable I honestly love him. I definitely 100% recommend this show to anyone and everyone cause it's so wholesome.
