The Story of Park's Marriage Contract

The beautiful Lee Se-young plays Park Yeon-woo a Joseon lady whose new husband is murdered and then she is kidnapped and thrown down a well. She finds herself 200 years later in a swimming pool and is saved by Kang Tae-ha (Bae In-hyuk) who because of a heart condition like her original husband has no interest in marriage. It is an interesting idea with a contract marriage. But the plot is never very deep like the characters so the story can be plodding at times. What saves the story is the chemistry between the two leads which makes a believable and sweet romance. The supporting cast all do a good job as well so enjoyable series but just falls short.

What a beautiful, swoon worthy story. The lead actors were both super good looking and their chemistry was amazing right from the 1st episode. I liked them both in modern roles as well as the historical roles, a special mention to the very cute dimples of the ML that made him extra handsome. The second leads were amazing too, there were too many good looking people in the show, and some known character artists and everyone played their characters well. Time travel and reincarnation shows are my weakness and this show had elements of both making it well worth the screen time. In all, it was a very watchable, likeable series which will remain close to my heart.

There are only two episodes, but I'm already hooked. It's a great production, with great cast and an interesting plot. The story can feels like something we've seen before, but here's the twist: she travels back in time after someone tries to kill her, just after the mysterious death of her husband on their honeymoon. The merging of the two worlds is very well executed in this drama. The acting is phenomenal and the chemistry very good. The female lead is a funny, strong and interesting character. Once again, Lee Se Young proves her versatility and plays to perfection. I recommend this series without hesitation!

I really enjoyed this drama. It had the right amount of romance, comedy and a back story. Sometimes in Korean dramas the comedy can be too much or too silly. They got it just right and I had a few laugh out loud moments. The female lead was a really likeable character and the development of how she changed once in modern times was quick but it all flowed. I loved the fashion she wore as it related to the character. The male lead had CEO green flag vibes and he played the character really well. The second lead couple were cute too. This drama definitely gave me Legend of the blue sea vibes so if you enjoyed that drama you will enjoy this. I binge watched all the episodes as didnt start to watch initially on the release date however once caught up I anxioulsy waited for the weekly releases.

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract is a wonderful drama starring Bae In Hyuk and Lee Se Young with a beautiful balance of Historical (Old Joseon) mixed with Modern Times (New Joseon), Fantasy (time-travel) romance and light comedy.

For those that don't usually watch historical drama's, it will draw you in with it's perfect balance and that says a lot - initially the marriage contract theme caught my attention which adds the love story, romance and light comedy in modern society. I did get drawn in right away with the historical episodes with the wonderful early love story, the beauty of the FL and the costuming and sets which always catches my attention. The male lead Bae In Hyuk who plays Kang Tae Ha is just as captivating with his acting and handsomeness.

In the modern Joseon I loved the costuming again and how the Old Joseon style was fused with New Joseon and particularly loved Kang Tae Ha's embroidered shirt which was a turning point for the 2 main leads and their "butterflies".

The reason I gave it 9 stars instead of 10 is that quite honestly, I had no idea how many episodes there was going to be - had no idea if it were 16 episodes or what. When I watched episode 12 I actually didn't know it was the final until about halfway through it when I started to think - wait, what? Is this the final? I shouldn't have to guess that and it actually didn't become 100% clear until the last moments to me. I think the ending could have been better but still well worth watching.
