Love in Contract

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have to agree with someone else here who wanted to give it a five but gave it a one to balance out inflated ratings. Started out somewhat promising, the actors definitely got my attention initially. Park Min Young is as usual quite perky and perfectly made up for the camera. Her partner Go Kyung Pyo is pretty good but so quiet that it gets tiring (I know this is the story but..) the only other characters that I found engaging were his work pals. The story starts to drag on after a few episodes, we experience the typical cliché love triangle. There are many unnecessary extraneous characters. It started out well but in my opinion does not deliver a fully engaging, interesting and coherent story. It also does feel predictable though not coherent not necessarily in a good way.
