Amor no Contrato (2022)

Worth a watch.

I am new to Korean Tv only started watching them this year and have been binge-watching them for the past 3 months, PMY is one of my Favourites actresses along with Seo Hyun Jin, This was the third PMY show I have watched after the big 2 What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? and Her Private Life and as a lot of other commenters have said it, unfortunately, does not match her previous performances.

PMY looked stunning back in 2018 and 2019 with that infectious smile and glowing eyes and she looked healthy, but in this show, whether it is just weight loss which she seems to have lost a lot of her legs and body overall not just her face look thinner the clothes she wears she doesn't; fill them as she did back in 2019, as others have said she looked stiff when she first appeared in episode one it took e a second to realise it was the same person she was so gaunt I thought she had been ill.

I won't bother with mentioning the plot the show is worth a watch if you enjoyed her previous outings but it is nothing special so I would not be to exited.

Like many people before me had said, this drama didn't live up to its potential at all. There was something lacking, although I can't quite put my finger on it...

I started this drama because of Park Min Young and she shone in the drama, majority of her outfits was amazing (some of them were quite ugly on the other hand) and I loved her character, how she was able to do so many things, it was nice to see her horse riding for example. And her character's relationships... idk, that was the lacking part, it wasn't even that much of a love triangle (which I appreciated) but there was something missing.

On the other hand, there was some things that positively stood out to me: the gay supporting character, Ji Ho's boss and his wife (they were the best, especially how he kept calling her "my Queen", honestly they were the best part about the drama), and I also loved how Sang Eun was the one, who proposed to Ji Ho, that was so cool. And Ji Ho's coworkers were funny and nice to watch. And it was nice to see a shy and introverted male lead.

My rating is 8.5/10 as I liked the themes I mentioned and also because I adore PMY so this review is slightly biased. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't probably even start drama with this synopsis/tags.

Very intriguing rom-com that delivers so far

I almost didn't want to start this due to the lowish MDL ratings and mostly negative comments but as none of the new drama offers kept me hooked from episode 1 and all dropped, this was different and saved me from a current drama slump. The negative reviews/comments are mostly irrelevant to the drama quality and often sound immature and laughable eg FL has obvious PS done (hello, who didn't?), FL is old, always plays the same type, she should play more challenging roles (ma’am, this is a rom-com, not intended for drama awards, and at least she has work offers in a very competitive industry), SML is annoying, ML is boring/is unknown/isn’t lead material, SML looks better as lead, drama is boring, drama is flop and dropped etc etc. I always ask myself, why would one torture oneself and continue watching only to make the same negative comment after each and every episode? For the love of god, please just drop the drama and move on to others that are within your high standards and and let those of us enjoy this without being inundated with an endless cacophony of negativity. for those still on the fence, IGNORE the negative comments, sadly mostly from FL bashers; if you want heavy drama, award winning show, this is not it. But if you want something to watch that is intriguing, relaxing and light hearted after a hard, tedious day - I totally recommend this.
ACTING + STORY so far 10/10 for this genre - FL is perfect for the role, she was able to capture and fully portray that nuanced blend of being an independent, spunky, high-flier woman with poise and credibility whilst subtly hiding the inner emotional turmoil, the vulnerability and the thought-processes of her character shaped mostly on her life experiences from childhood to adulthood based on a few flashbacks/snippets shown. ML’s character is a great contrast and the actor has a very good grasp of his role and how to interpret it. What binds them despite the stark difference in their personalities is their maturity to go beyond their typical selves or job and be considerate of the needs of the other (and others) - and this is what makes this partnership very strong but also fun with all the comedy of adjusting or simply interacting with someone very different. The support characters, including the SML are all well-written and are fulfilling their intended puposes plot-wise and no annoying characters so far so hope this continues. I wanted to just watch the first episode to have a feel for it and wait until its fully completed to binge but i just couldnt so I finished the first 4 episodes in one go like a book that is hard to put down. Unfortunately, I know I will suffer through the week long wait for new episodes - a sacrifice I occasionally do once I find a good drama that interests me. Overall, this drama is intriguing for me and has kept me hooked and wanting more so hope the quality and fun continues till the end.

awkward situations will make you laugh!

today is october-9-2022, this drama is still airing and last aired episode is the 6th.
the story: SEun is a "professional wife": she gets hired to play the character of the wife for all the men who can afford her high prices and need to fake their marriage for social reasons.

*1st of all: you should watch this, it's really good.
*BUT, these are the conditions you'll have a good experience:

1- yes, PMY did surgery, but that's not the point here. let go off your memories of her old self and welcome the woman she IS right now.

2- don't use the skip button. what seems like unnecessary details at the moment will be crucial later. you don't know it, but I know. so, take it slow and watch carefully. I am now already rewatching the first episodes because... I messed up. don't do like me.

3- the Second Male Lead isn't annoying. he seems to be, but truth is, without him we'd have no view on FL's past. he put light on MML feelings, otherwise he'd probably never second guess his true feelings. I like to call the SML "my naive little dumby"!

4- in korea you have 2 different things: the marriage license which validate the marriage, and the marriage ceremony, which has no legal value. it's ok the hold the ceremony before signing the license (or even without signing it). as long as the license isn't signed and registered, the marriage isn't valid. people will believe you are married because they came to the ceremony, when actually you are not.

what I like and why I recommend:
the story takes unexpected turns, and I have never experienced so awkward feelings just while watching a drama. for the 1st time in my life I understood a character who wants to forget at all cost a drinking night.

after last episode: the drama has a huge rewatch value: first of all because everybody was tempted to skip scenes, and also because we all under-estimated some "tiny" details. rewatching it made me understand a lot of scenes differently.

Light Hearted RomCom

This was my second or third drama starring Park Min Young since I saw her in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, and I will always watch anything she's in.

While I did enjoy her in this drama I will say I was bummed out by her appearance. She was unbelievably, amazingly, beautiful and perfect in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, but it almost looked like she lost considerable weight since then and maybeeeee had some face work done, or maybe it's just because of the weight loss? She's still stunning but I was sad to see her seemingly so much thinner when she was already a knock out.

This was also my first drama with Kim Jae Young and Go Kyung Pyo. I loved how different the characters were and that they were able to make me really feel torn between the male leads. Most of the people I've seen discuss this show felt like she ended with the right guy and I'm not saying that's wrong, I'm just saying it was a tough call for me. lol

For me the best Comedy Romance since "What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim"

I've waited for a Drama just like that for quite a while now...Don't get me wrong, I've watched some of the recent Romance Comedies and I liked some of them but I didn't enjoy them as much as before. I watch KDramas from all kinds of genres so I am quite picky with Romance Dramas since it's not my favorite genre especially if they don't have a happy ending but I am always looking for some good feel-good romantic comedy and so far I've found exactly what I was looking for in this show. I am a little biased since I am a big fan of Ko Kyung Pyo and Park Min-young but I've dropped dramas from them if I didn't like them, so I wouldn't continue watching if I didn't like the drama overall. Since sad endings and law dramas are a big trend this year I am really happy that there is a light Romance Comedy Drama with (at least I hope) a happy ending. The Male lead is a judge so the law theme is somewhat also there :D
The chemistry is great, and the story is somewhat cliche but the characters are all entertaining and likable. I also think that they saved some unnecessary drama since the ML is very direct and even goes to some kind of therapy for his*SPOILER* childhood trauma so there are definitely scenes where you are just happy everybody communicates so well in this drama.
So far, I can really recommend it if you like Park Min-young dramas or the good old-fashioned Romance K-Dramas with a little less cliche.

Love in Contract had a good storyline from start to finish. The show had a lot of nice aspects, but there are also some parts that didn't quite go well with me.

The Good - I like how the plot was clean, there was no unnecessary or heavy conflicts that our main leads could not resolve. It was nice how both our ML and FL had their support groups backing them no matter what.
I also appreciated how the writer gave each character their own little moments to shine (e.g. Gwangnam, Haejin, and Miho). The character development for everyone at the end is amazing!

The Bad - I didn't like how every episode was packed with so much product placement, it kind of ruined the show a bit for me.
Next, I felt like the acting was lacking especially since most of the actors in our cast are quite known in the kdrama world already, maybe I expected too much, but it still felt odd and some parts cringey to me.
Last, the first half of the show was built up slowly and carefully making the viewers hooked with each episode, but I think it kind of lost its momentum at the last few. It felt like there are still some things happening but they are just fillers to keep the show going and end it in a way that is acceptable

Overall, it was still a good and fun watch, especially seeing Go Kyung Pyo acting sulky, cute, and just plain adorable.
It has also been quite a long time since we have gotten a fluffy kdrama romcom, and this one is something that could satisfy our cravings!

i liked it

I would recommend you to watch it, because the plot is very different from other dramas. and the two main leads are amazing actors who I've admired for a long time.

I loved the storylines of the two main leads, but I didn't like the storyline of ''Kang Hae Jin. I watched it reluctantly at first, but eventually I just skipped his parts because I didn't enjoy them, and his story had nothing to do with the main character's story, so I thought it was very unimportant and unnecessary to give him so much screen time.

I also disliked the last episode because I think what they did was very unnecessary.

but overall I enjoyed the rest of the drama, so I would recommend you to watch it, but do keep in mind that you may not like every storyline because I didn't.

Surprisingly super good

Okay at first when I heard of the show I thought it was pathetic and stupid. But then I watched it and after the first ep, I was proven wrong. It was art. I love the 2nd lead so much. The main lead just is annoying to me. At times the second lead does cross the line. He is a little over-comfortable with her and she dislikes it. The main lead is just awkward. He does do some awesome things but just bugs me sometimes. He also slips up a lot.

The female lead is crazy but so entertaining. She goes wild and I love it. She slays every day. She is so pretty and talented.

Overall it's a really funny and entertaining show so far. It is worth your time. I can't really say much since it's not completed. TBH I just want the Female Lead and her roommate's best friend to go to Canada. Just let them live their lives. The main lead and second lead just keep holding her back. Just let her retire.

A very romantic series with 3 great actors as leads.

What beautiful people in this cast!!!

The plot is intriguing: A FL who is paid to play the temporary wives, is led to have 2 contracts with the tenants of 1 same building, 1 shy judge and 1 star ML2.

The pacing is brisk, the tone quite cute, and all the actors are excellent.
Nothing special about the soundtracks that go well with the different emotions.

I will definitely watch this drama again in a while, at least the very cute scenes between the two leads :)

❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤

Que de beau monde dans ce casting !!!
Une série très romantique avec 3 acteurs géniaux comme leads.

Le plot est intrigant : Une FL qui est payée pour jouer les épouses temporaires, est conduite à avoir 2 contrats avec les locataires d'1 même immeuble, 1 juge timide et 1 ML2 star.

Le rythme est vif, le ton plutôt mignon et tous les acteurs sont excellents.
Rien de particulier concernant les OST qui accompagnent bien les différentes émotions.

Je regarderai certainement ce drama à nouveau dans quelques temps, au moins les scènes très cute entre les deux leads :)
