Timeslip hijinks in The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract
by tccolb
The promos continue for MBC’s The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract and now that we’ve gotten the angsty backstory out of the way, the newest teaser reveals the hijinks that await as our 19th century heroine Lee Se-young (The Law Cafe) is introduced to modern day.
As with previous trailers, we begin in Joseon times where we catch up on Park Yeon-woo’s (Lee Se-young) sweet but tragic romance with Bae In-hyuk (Cheer Up). Yeon-woo wistfully informs us that her late husband’s face is very clear in her memory. Understandably, she can’t help but be drawn to his present-day doppelgänger Kang Tae-ha.
But Tae-ha isn’t the only surprise for Yeon-woo in 21st century South Korea and it’s an eyeball overload for our ever-curious heroine. The sequence takes us through her wonderment of new experiences as Yeon-woo encounters international tourists, public displays of affection, modern technology, and – most importantly – the great Chocopie.
Still, Yeon-woo does make an attempt to return home to Joseon, waving farewell to Tae-ha before jumping into the pool. Needless to say, her plan is an epic fail and I expect Tae-ha is going to be very busy swinging between panic and exasperation as Yeon-woo adjusts to her new life.
In the intermittent text screens, we read: “A precious contract marriage story about a 19th century Confucian girl who jumps through time and lands in the 21st century.” But our heroine is more than capable when facing any obstacle and the teaser ends on Yeon-woo’s promise: “I’m going to do everything I can. Because he’s my husband.”
Written by Go Nam-jung (Wife Scandal) with directing helmed by PD Park Sang-hoon (My Secret Terrius), MBC’s The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract will be premiering next month on November 24.

Lee Se-young's OTT-ness always comes across as natural and genuine.

I would love it if this show is both funny and gives me the feels. Please be good! And by that I mean — good until the end!

I second your - "please be good until the end".
How sad that our expectations are dubious for this actually happening lately.
12 episodes, maybe it's possible.
Hwaiting show.

I checked and the webcomic has a good ending, for what it's worth

time for my perennial question - is the webcomic in English anywhere so I can cram the story before this starts airing? XD

Incredible face by Bae In-hyuk. And honestly, if I travelled to modern times from 19th century Korea, my biggest obsession would also be chocolate.

Ooohh yay, bring on the good ol' hijinks! Lee Se Young has a serious face/vibe so I'm curious about her comedic skills.

It depends on the dramas one has seen her. As I first saw her in The Best Hit and Hwayugi, I think she is great in comedy too :)

I like her in both comedy and drama. My only complaint is with her pouting/complaining voice which so Lee Se Young that it takes me completely out of her various characters. But I've seen her in so many dramas that I have gotten used to it.

Don't expect much, she's stiff and awkward in comedy, obviously self-conscious when she has to act silly. Heavy genres is where she really shines.

This is exactly what I had been looking forward to from this drama. I am so excited to see LSY. The last I watched her was in Red Sleeve and I did cry a lot over her ending so I am excited to watch her happy in this one

Oh, I like the look of this, if they get the balance right it could be a great watch to the end.

Color me surprised that it was Chocopie and not THE Subway sandwich, such a missed PPL opportunity...

I've never really liked Lee Se-young but this caught my attention and it looks like it could be really fun. I like the idea of time jumping forward into vastly unknown waters which makes for fun learning opportunities and a vote for choco pies and not subway!

If I had any doubts before (I did not), I have none now. These time slip fish out of water scenes are always my favourite :)

Beautiful wedding dress, but for a 19th century girl isn't an off-shoulder dress rather scandalous.
