I gave Love in Contract a chance. With Go Kyung-pyo and Kim Jae-young, I had to, right? KJY’s character didn’t have much screen time, and GKP’s was more dull than mysterious. Too many elements, too little story, and no one to really care about. It has been a long time since I liked PMY in a drama, and I don’t see that changing. I might read the recaps, but I don’t think I’ll spend any more time watching.
I thought it was a rom com but I didn’t laugh once. I know they use the first couple of episodes to set the scene hence me aiming to give a four episode grace period for most dramas but as you said a lot of elements were introduced but currently the foundation feels flimsy.
It started to pick up in episode two so it may be one that needs the four episode test to determine whether it’s worth staying with or it needs to be dropped.
I thought the second episode was an improvement but my main impression at the moment (though I don’t like to comment on size) is that Park Min Young is looking uncomfortably thin.

I’ll at least try ep. 2, but it’s definitely not what I expected. The dark elements were too dominant.

I will give it a try. But I can see why this won’t work for me.

Not again…… Maybe I’ll scrub it from my weekend list then.

It may be worth staying with the others and then binge watching next week so you can get a better picture.

I also thought in some moments she looked tired.
