The Story of Park's Marriage Contract

This had such amazing start, episode one was one of the best episodes I have ever watched, the storytelling was so captivating and what an emotional story, I actually cried. So believe me when I say I was really looking forward to the rest of the series, but what a let down.

The rest of episodes were just a bunch of empty filling scenes with overdramatic characters and underwhelming subplots.

Majority if the cast in this are very experienced and tge acting is superb, but the script is just too silly and nonsensical.

I give it a 6 mainly because the actual main plot and storyline of their past life was extremely good and interesting but they could have done it in just 4/6 episodes. The modern storyline was just dragging and lacking an actual plot.

I guess you will love this if you are into telenovelas and enjoy very extreme and dramatic plots.

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.

Based on the web-comic of the same name written by Angelique and Kim Neo-ul. Park Yeon-woo (Lee Se-young) is a rebellious noblewoman living in the Confucian Joseon era whom is arranged to wed Kang Tae-ha (Bae In-hyuk). When she is kidnapped and thrown into a well following his death, Park Yeon-woo discovers that she has transported 200 years in time to where she comes across an identical version of her deceased husband. Park Yeon-woo heeds this second chance to rekindle a relationship with the man she loves and adapts to this modern setting. While uncovering the mystery as to why she was sent to this time-period.

The series has made a home in my heart due to the all of the astonishing performances from the cast members. Lee Se-young was the perfect choice for the female lead. Deserving all of the recognition as she seamlessly portrays a fish-out-of-water who utilizes all her skills towards making an impact on those around her. Especially on the cold-and-calculated amalgamation of Kang Tae-ha (Bae In-hyuk) who she shares noteworthy onscreen chemistry with.

This drama was truly an enjoyable experience. Containing likable characters whom the viewer becomes invested in as we root for them to have the happy endings they deserve. Twists-and-turns catch the viewer by surprise when we believe we have everything figured out. Whilst certain plot-holes and plot-points remain unresolved and left to the interpretation of the audience. The script could have been more polished. But the ambiguity is welcomed as it fits within the storyline. The finale concludes on an emotional note which leaves a lasting imprint on the viewer. I would love to see a continuation for these characters that we have grown attached to because it's difficult to say goodbye. I believe this season is deserving of a rewatch as I'll revisit Yeon-woo's unforgettable journey towards self-fulfillment.

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!

By seeing the topic you might have guessed that this is the best miniseries of 2023 you want to watch and end your 2023 with. 12 episodes are not enough to end this series.
