Love in Contract

I really liked the concept of this show; a woman who does contract marriages as her job and falls in love with a client. It's a little cliché, but in a good way. The beginning was really good, the characters had their purposes and the storyline moved very smoothly. But after about 10 episodes the story just started to fall apart. The whole concept kind of changed as the show went on. The characters were really charming and delivered some really funny lines in the beginning, but this was almost completely lost half way though. I feel like the story just suddenly changed and lost most of it's really good qualities. I liked this show, I just wish they had planned the ending better.

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.

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.

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.

Another story about contracted marriage / relationships, which will of course end in the protagonists finding true love. Nothing new, but if done well it's always enjoyable. Not so much in this case.

I was hoping this was a fun romcom but even though the plot and plot "twists" had potentially, the acting of the female lead protagonist was not as charismatic as I had expected. Not sure if it was lack of chemistry between the male protagonists, her carrying a lot of the weight of the story or maybe just not the right balance of comedy for me. Plot holes here and there, bland follow up on mysteries, and a couple of inconsistencies. Not a waste of time , just maybe not the serie for me.
