Sweet little rom-com that will brighten your day

If you believe in love at first sight and contract marriage is the guarantee path to happiness then this show is a must watch for you! Seriously, I really enjoyed this show and it is so short and sweet. Contract marriage is such a dramaland trope these days that it can only go down one of two paths, find love and happiness or find love and the whole thing falls apart horribly.
This love story was well paced. There is always growth but it is set firmly in the "slice of life" genre so no psycho killer or evil family plot anywhere. The ML was a real tease to his new wife. Swoon worthy moments aplenty. Not that it was totally angst free with the usual misunderstanding and jealousy popped up here and there. They are quickly bobbed on their heads and our CP can safely resumed their romantic journey of discovery. I really appreciate how the CP communicated with each other and accept each others point of view. It was refreshing to see issues not fester but allowed to be aired and resolved in a mature manner. The OTP's chemistry is very good. Not red hot but there are lots of skinship and sex is definitely on the menu but nothing graphic. Romantic to sexy, in a newly-wed couple way.
The OST is nice enough. Nothing memorable but pleasant. Rewatch value is high as it is such a sweet love story and only just over 3 hours in total length, it is not even a binge if you watch it over a lazy day.
