Not the best, but no the worst either
I personally had high hopes for this drama. Before it aired, the trailers and promotions seemed promising and MISLEADING to some. However, the drama turned out to be lacking in script and writing and thus making it not that good.
Plus, don't let the name fool you. This drama is not that ROMANTIC. There are barely kiss scenes and skinships.
Story:
Typical marriage contract but with a twist. The FL's job is to marry guys who need partners for various reasons. There are some good guys and some psychos involved. There are SML and SFL and so many side stories going on, which seemed so unnecessary at times. I can dare say more than half of the drama got draggy and cringe-worthy. Character development was not ok, especially the SML and FL's relationship was written poorly. The only people with decent character development were ML and FL's roommate. Personally, i believe that this drama could've turned much better with a good team of writers :\
Acting:
I have seen all PMY's dramas and honestly, her last dramas were a turndown. GPK's acting was superb! i have seen him in a few dramas before and he delivered the best character in this drama. The second ML, albeit a bit cranky and quirky, acted pretty ok. The second leads and the supporting cast delivered a somewhat acceptable performance, yet again the only thing that overshadowed their acting was the bad script.
Music:
Nothing extraordinary in my opinion. Very limited songs and they didn't match the scenes very much.
Production:
From the looks of this drama, we can figure it had a decent budget. The dresses PMY wears are all sponsored by high-end brands. The cars, buildings, houses, etc, were expensive. The drama looks glittery to the eye, but without depth.
Chemistry:
Even though the drama's name is love in contract, the love is barely visible. We get to see the leads so lovey-dovey, but that's just it. Their love is not that genuine, more like platonic to me. The ML is really caring and starts loving FL, but the FL is so lost that can't deliver a good romantic partner. The kiss scenes were all too short and shallow.
Overall, a somewhat OK drama. Not the type you will go back and rewatch your favorite episodes(or you might lol). it could have been better. The drama had the potential to be much more sweet and enjoyable, yet as it happens in Kworld, writers can't deliver a good piece lol
