The Love Contract that Last?

This tender swoon worthy miniseries is nothing new yet has a nice pace and flow for the storyline. The twists that de-bunk typical trope pitfalls were fun to watch and consider. The turnaround reveals and warmth from the extended family gave a refreshing add to what the typical 'contract love' stories provide. The chemistry between the leads was very good and 'moments' were swoon worthy. The antagonist throughout became a bit tiring, disjointed and reaching at times. The ending seemed rushed, forced and incomplete which made the overall arc of the storyline miss the mark. It is okay to watch, but for a better landing for the appetite of 'contract love' I would stop watching @ episode 23.

Some very nice scenes amidst a just ok show

Highlights:
- I specially liked how the main protagonists were not perfectly nice people. They were flawed and not always attached to the highest moral standards. It was refreshing to see, most of all in a Asian drama.
- Once they got together, the main couple chemistry was super sweet and intense. I rewatched a couple of scenes and thought their interactions felt quite natural. They were believable as a couple for sure. Plus no deadfish kisses.

What could improve:
- The overall plot was a bit too simple, with some overused cliches that weren’t incredibly executed either.
- The last episode will definitely not satisfy everyone.
