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.

Tbh m,I started this series for PMY, known fact that her chosen drama's are always rom-com. But, I hardly find it romantic and comedy. Watching ji-ho and sang-eun is not at all appealing, I don't feel connected with their chemistry or story. Feels like "let's just watch since I started this". Their is no proper dialogue, connection or any part that feels touching. Everything is revealed in flashback but no one talks in real about their past.... It's already episode 10 and lead's don't know each other flashbacks and their actual reality. On what matter's they actual feel something towards each other?? Only character's that feel connected in this drama are hae-jin and jung-han and little bit of ji-ho staff but not actual main leads . I expected much more than this, it's just going not actually entertaining. Hae-jin character should've been first male lead. I'm much more interested in how he will solve his family conflicts then how ji-ho and sang-eun will end up together.... This would've been great if the story is not so slow, more communication from leads. You just can't avoid all these drawbacks of your past and can just focus on present , that feels so distant even if they're beside each other all the time. Why ji-ho married and got divorced? And out of nowhere after 5 years of contract now he feel something? His character is improving that's great but their isn't anything felt like he is in love. Hae-jin feels like he is in love. So messy and not so meaningful character's , ji-ho faced many things and he is so cold I understand but wasn't ji-eun was his first comfort place what actual happened with them?? Jae-mi was played since childhood but was her occupation was only way that can pay of her debt ?? I guess since she was mold into a good wife material, she took that as her occupation ?? Hae-jin character has a meaning he was inspired by his first love where he doesn't know that is not her actual identity but still got inspired, loved her and did what he wanted to do and made his own name. Character's are from rich background but have no standard's whie living in the present. I guess hae-jin character as an actor life show much better. A judge has no standard and social living ?? How's that possible? I just want sang-eun work to come out , it would make much sense , how can a person won't face the same person living the same city? How her previous customer's are not encountered atleast once , she even did wedding's , how come their are no mutual people from all the 12 wedding's. She don't have rich background to cover-up, hae-jin can't do it since he doesn't take help from his family and ji-ho is a name sake judge with no connections and power.

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.

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.

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.
