Forced/Contract Marriage or Relationships

This is my favorite genre of Drama so if you know of any that are not on my list, please let me know.  This list includes most of the  dramas and movies I've seen (or in the case of "100 Days My Prince", I'm in process of watching) that include this trope.

  • Meu Príncipe Por 100 Dias

    1. Meu Príncipe Por 100 Dias

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    I haven't finished this one yet, but I love it so far.

  • 1% de Qualquer Coisa

    2. 1% de Qualquer Coisa

    Korean Drama - 2003, 26 episodes

    8.5

    This drama is cute and while I liked the remake better (Something About 1%), it's a fun watch.  

  • Porque Esta é a Minha Primeira Vida

    3. Porque Esta é a Minha Primeira Vida

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    7.5

    I liked this drama at first, but I found the ending frustrating.  So while many loved this show, it's not one of my favorites.

  • O Melhor Casal

    4. O Melhor Casal

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    6.5

    Cute...not great...not awful.  Just cute.  That being said, I'll probably rewatch it.  :-)

  • A Noiva do Século

    5. A Noiva do Século

    Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes

    10

    I LOVE THIS DRAMA.  It's sweet, it's dramatic,and  it's got just enough syfy to make it different from other shows.  

  • Criando o Destino

    6. Criando o Destino

    Korean Drama - 2009, 31 episodes

    8.0

    I enjoyed this drama.  It's been awhile since I watched it, but as I recall, it's sweet and has fun characters.  Cool fun fact:  The leads ended up getting married in real life!

  • Embriagado de Amor por Você

    7. Embriagado de Amor por Você

    Taiwanese Drama - 2011, 30 episodes

    7.5

    A different concept from other Tdramas I have seen.   The idea of two people who actually get married while they are drunk and the craziness that comes with that decision is a hoot to watch.

  • Vida Feliz, Sorte Fácil

    8. Vida Feliz, Sorte Fácil

    Taiwanese Drama - 2009, 17 episodes

    8.0

    The formula for this drama isn't new, but somehow even though you can probably figure out how it will play out to a certain extent, it's a very enjoyable story and the characters are interesting to watch.

  • Destinado a Te Amar

    9. Destinado a Te Amar

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    7.0

    There is something very engaging about this drama.  It's not my favorite, but I find myself rewatching parts of it occasionally...though I can't quite but my finger on why.  Many people adore this drama and while I can't put myself in that category, I admit, it's a cute show.

  • Casa Cheia

    10. Casa Cheia

    Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes

    8.5

    The clothing is dated and the production value is less than more current dramas (after all, it's quite a few years old), but even so, this is a drama is one that you will want to stay until the end.  Rain is fun to watch, but be aware that his attitude is often childish.

  • Horas de Princesa

    11. Horas de Princesa

    Korean Drama - 2006, 24 episodes

    9.0

    LOVE IT! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!!  The actors/actresses do a great job, the story is engaging and there is just something special about the relationship between the two leads.  This one is a MUST WATCH in my book.

  • Casamento Feliz!?

    12. Casamento Feliz!?

    Japanese Drama - 2016, 12 episodes

    7.0

    Interesting Drama.  The portrayal of the forced marriage is different from some others.  Interesting, but not stellar.

  • I'm Underage But I'm Not A Child

    13. I'm Underage But I'm Not A Child

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    8.5

    This is a movie and not a drama, but it fits the category.  These two teens get married and have to figure out what marriage really is.  It's not an easy journey for them.  Since they don't have time to really flesh out the story like they would in a drama, it seems a bit rushed at times, but still a good watch overall.

  • Inborn Pair

    14. Inborn Pair

    Taiwanese Drama - 2011, 84 episodes

    9.0

    My first Tdrama and I really love this show.  The characters are well written.  The leads are awesome together and their families are quite a mess of crazy.  Grandma especially is a hoot.

  • Minta Pra Mim

    15. Minta Pra Mim

    Korean Drama - 2011, 16 episodes

    9.0

    The leads have great chemistry.  The story is well done.  It does lag a bit here and there, but overall, it's a really good show.

  • Love Cheque Charge

    16. Love Cheque Charge

    Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 74 episodes

    8.5

    LOVE THIS SHOW!  It's funny.  It's touching.  It's sweet.  It's romantic.  Even though it's a super long drama, it's one I really really like.

  • Agora, Ame!

    17. Agora, Ame!

    Taiwanese Drama - 2012, 72 episodes

    8.0

    Love the leads!  Love the story!  Great show.  As with most, Tdramas it's fairly long, but it's worth the time you put into it.

  • Contrato de Casamento

    18. Contrato de Casamento

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Not a "happy go lucky" drama at all, but SUCH a good show.  I highly recommend it.  

  • Casamento, Não Namoro

    19. Casamento, Não Namoro

    Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes

    8.0

    This show is really good.  I enjoyed the concept of the show as well as the characters.  It's well done and well acted.

  • Minha Jovem Noiva

    20. Minha Jovem Noiva

    Korean Movie - 2004

    7.5

    There is a bit of an ick factor with this show because of the age difference of the leads.  It's not huge, but one is in High School and the other is in College.

  • Fugir é Vergonhoso, Mas Útil

    21. Fugir é Vergonhoso, Mas Útil

    Japanese Drama - 2016, 11 episodes

    8.0

    This show reminded me a bit of "Because This Is My First Life", but I liked it better.  

  • O Primeiro Ministro está Namorando

    22. O Primeiro Ministro está Namorando

    Korean Drama - 2013, 17 episodes

    9.0

    I really enjoyed this drama.  The plot of a politician having to marry a reporter is unique and a neat twist to the marriage contract plots I've seen.

  • Então me Casei com Minha Anti-fã

    23. Então me Casei com Minha Anti-fã

    Chinese Movie - 2016

    8.0

    This movie is not amazing, but it's super fun and the leads are just too adorable.  

  • 1% de Alguma Coisa

    24. 1% de Alguma Coisa

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    All time favorite drama from any country.   I just love it.  The lead's chemistry is fantastic, the plot is well written, and the acting is great too!   A MUST WATCH!

  • Doce 18

    25. Doce 18

    Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes

    7.5

    Similar plot and ick factor of "My Little Bride", but it isn't a profound.  This show is done better overall in my book.

  • A Nora Excêntrica

    26. A Nora Excêntrica

    Korean Drama - 2015, 12 episodes

    7.0

    This show was a bit odd.  Not bad, but different in some respects from what I expected.  It's a decent show though and worth a watch.

  • Garota Lobo e Príncipe Negro

    27. Garota Lobo e Príncipe Negro

    Japanese Movie - 2016

    7.0

    Bad boy vs. good girl.  That's the basic plot.  He'd a jerk, but helps her out.  He's a bit too much of a jerk though for me.  It's hard to root for him sometimes.

  • Destinado a Te Amar

    28. Destinado a Te Amar

    Taiwanese Drama - 2008, 24 episodes

    7.5

    Same plot as "Fated to Love You." I have basically the same feelings about this drama, but I like the leads better in this one I think.

  • Mestre Demônio Não Me Beije

    29. Mestre Demônio Não Me Beije

    Chinese Drama - 2017, 23 episodes

    8.0

    Cute show.  You need to watch part two right after though because there is a cliff hanger at the end of this season.

  • Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me 2

    30. Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me 2

    Chinese Drama - 2017, 23 episodes

    8.5

    I liked this series.  It lagged a bit in this season, but overall...decent show.

  • Noiva de Aluguel

    31. Noiva de Aluguel

    Filipino Movie - 2014

    8.5

    Cute movie.

  • Amor ao primeiro Odeio

    32. Amor ao primeiro Odeio

    Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes

    8.5

    Very cute drama with fun leads, but the mom and sister characters were VERY annoying.

  • Missões de Amor

    33. Missões de Amor

    Japanese Movie - 2018

    8.5

    Movie was cute rather than sexy which I much prefer.   I liked it.

  • Meu Namorado Absoluto

    34. Meu Namorado Absoluto

    Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes

    8.0

    Loved the drama, but HATED the Female Antagonist...for real.  I had to ff almost every scene with her.  The actress was great, but the character was too awful for me.

  • Ombro Amigo

    35. Ombro Amigo

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes

    9.0

    More forced co-habitation than contract relationship, but still...such a good drama.  

  • Romance é um Livro Bônus

    36. Romance é um Livro Bônus

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    10

    Again, much more a forced co-habitation drama.  There is no contract at all, but it's such a great drama.

  • Takane e Hana

    37. Takane e Hana

    Japanese Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    9.0

    This show has a forced relationship of sorts, but it's different than a contract relationship.  It's very cute though.  I thought there would be an ick factor (which I think you'll understand if you watch it), but the situation was dealt with in such a way that it's not so much a full on romance, but two people figuring out how to be in a relationship.  It's sweet.

  • Amor Bem Intencionado

    38. Amor Bem Intencionado

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 20 episodes

    9.5

    I really enjoyed this show, but you have to get past a HUGE hurdle that the ML does something absolutely awful in order to enter into the contract relationship with the FL.  There is no getting around that it's awful.  However, I really really liked the leads together and somehow was able to ignore that part.

  • Antes Bêbado Que Embriagado

    39. Antes Bêbado Que Embriagado

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 25 episodes

    9.0

    Really enjoyed this show.  It's unique in it's set up and just a lot of fun.

  • Amor Bem Intencionado 2

    40. Amor Bem Intencionado 2

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Basically the same plot as the first season but without the ML doing the awful thing he does in the first season.  Different show, from the first season, but the same feel and just very cute.

  • Minha Querida Senhora

    41. Minha Querida Senhora

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.5

    This is a co-habitation drama rather than a contract relationship.  I really enjoyed it a lot.

  • Você é Meu Pet

    42. Você é Meu Pet

    Japanese Drama - 2003, 10 episodes

    8.0

    I've seen both the later version of this drama (see #43) and the Korean Movie (see #45) and while I like it, it's also very very odd and hard to take seriously.  I mean, the FL keeps the ML as a pet.  It's just...strange.  I mean it comes down to the fact that she's lonely and he has no where to go, so they are just helping each other out but still...odd...very odd.

  • Você é Meu Pet

    43. Você é Meu Pet

    Japanese Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

  • Você é Meu Pet

  • Legalmente, Pai

    45. Legalmente, Pai

    Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes

    9.0

    Cute mini drama.  Not a contract relationship as far as a marriage or dating situation is concerned, but there is a contract and forced co-habitation.
