Another Love Contract Drama But Special In Its Own Way
Yes, I know... the idea of a love contract is not unique and it's pretty old. Overused many times for sure, but I just adore this one for some reason and I'm not a huge fan of dramas that deal of love contracts.
Drama clichés exists in this drama: ML and FL can't stand each other but through the love contract eventually falls for each other for real, a lot of misunderstandings up until Ep 15. After that, it doesn't happen anymore. A witchy second-female lead. She's the worst. She does things to ruin the FL. The only good part is her screen time isn't shown as much so that makes it watchable but she's still annoying when she shows up. SML is the childhood friend who fell in love with the FL. I don't see why some people have problems with him as he doesn't do anything evil to sabotage the ML. Sure he tries to win FL's heart but eventually just accepts being her friend. He's a good guy overall. The good news is that there is no evil Mother in law cliché. Though a bumpy start on impression, the MIL does approve and like the FL.
Honestly, the story is just average. Nothing really that stands out. But I gotta say, I love the chemistry of the ML and FL. Sure it's a rough start but once you get to the point where they start to realize their feelings for each other, you just can't help but adore and enjoy their screen time together. The highlight of this drama is definitely the ML and FL's screen time together. I was able to overcome any drama clichés and the evil SFL because of the strength of our main couple. Best of all, no break ups. I know that this can happen in love contract dramas but the writers did it right by not including this.
Unfortunately, I wished the rest of the cast were more useful. The second couple (ML's best friend & his assistant/FL's friend), the FL's best friend, the ML's assistant. They were just there. I didn't find their roles as important enough to remember their scenes. You could skip their scenes and you probably wouldn't miss much. They were a bit more involved towards the end but for me a little too late. Of course to replace this, we did get more screen time of our leads so I guess I can't complain too much about this. Music is great to hear during the scenes but nothing I would like to add to my music playlist.
Though the story is simple but nothing new, it's actually a good love contract drama overall. I wouldn't rewatch the whole drama per say, but I would probably rewatch the cute and romantic scenes of our ML & FL.
