A letdown

I started the serial with high hopes after reading the reviews. Also it starred the ML - Sean Xiao. There wasn't much action even after the first 25 episodes. I kept telling myself that if I watch on it will eventually get more interesting. However the story only started picking up after the 30th episode. The acting was the saving grace but even that could not overcome the bad directing and screenplay. Also the costumes, CGI and makeup effects were mediocre at best. The production comes across low budget and there were many plot holes where the story does not make sense. The ending was hurried and abrupt. I hope they change the director

10x and I still love it!

My favourite campus romance where I have re-watched so many times, I lost tracked of how many! I love the light hearted but interesting storyline, the cast especially the ML - Yang Yang, the costumes, the soundtrack, the gaming scenes, special effects, the directing... the only blemish is the female lead who acted overly exaggeratedly.

It's rare to find a show with no scheming third parties, where the 2 main leads are a sweet couple dealing with their obstacles together, with open communication and without the usual immaturity or pettiness.

Overall, I loved this show. This is one drama you have to watch. You will not regret it.

Contract romance shrouded in mystery

Love in Contract has an intriguing storyline with good dose of romance and mystery.

The FL - Choi Sang-Eun is a professional wife-for-hire with stylish good looks, brains, an amazing wardrobe and an array of talents. Whether you need a trophy wife to boost your self-esteem during a class reunion, a proficient golfer wife to help you land a business deal, a wife to hide the fact that you are gay and to get your family off your back, or provide reassurance to your grandmother so she can pass away peacefully — the FL is there to help you out for a fee, and that includes extras if you need her to go through the whole nine yards to register the marriage. Twelve divorces down the line with enough of an egg nest to pursue her lifelong dream, the FL is pretty much at the verge of retiring except for her lingering ties towards her long time attractive and well to do albeit quiet client (Jung Ji-Ho) of 5 years. Their contract arrangement is simple, every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the ML prepares a fanciful scrumptious dinner for the FL and they dine together at his home. Ji-ho seems to be the perfect husband to FL, except that he seems shrouded in mystery...

There is a second male interest to the FL - Kang Hae-jin. He is a famous celebrity who hides his identity as a chaelbol. He has a crush on the FL for a long time and there is a back story on why he ended up being enamoured of the FL.

There is also mystery surrounding the FL.'s identity and reason for her career choice as wife-for-hire.

After only 2 epsodes, I'm totally hook on the show! Can't wait for the next episodes to be screened.

In summary, my first impressions are:

Fantastic storyline, not merely the usual romcom
Great FL and acting skills!
Love the FL stylish looks, getups and personas in her different wife roles,
High quality production
Must watch!!!
