Plot

Lee Jae In is a 3rd generation heir who has worked hard to build an empire for himself but his family wants him to return to the family business. In a ploy to make this happen, his grandfather changes his will to stipulate that all his fortune will go to his grandson only if he marries an elementary teacher he met coincidentally. Jae In then goes with his best friend and company lawyer to confront Kim Da Hyun, whom he believes seduced his grandfather in order to get his fortune but she completely denies it and makes is clear she has no interest in Jae in or his potential fortune. Jae In refuses to give up and is able to convince his grandfather to compromise by changing the stipulation to them dating seriously for 6 months instead and Da Hyun agrees by drafting a contract which states she will date him for the 6 months if he will make provisions for her suffering school and for a friend of her's who is breaking into the entertainment business. Needless to say, they fall in love for real.



My Feelings

I really do not have much to say about this show, it is as predictable as your typical contract love story, very little drama, no big reveals, your usual rich boy poor girl drama. The one thing I did enjoy was Lee Jae In's (played by Ha Seok Jin) forwardness, it seemed very real for a young couple dating in this day and age, no fake we can't touch or kiss behavior, but at the same time, the show didn't go overboard and forsake their traditional Korean chasteness, the kisses were "genuine" cute and although heated at times, very 13+. The 2 main leads had nice chemistry and the female leads character although "innocent" wasn't overdone. The show actually reminded me of My Secret Romance (both the initial hotel encounter scene and the female's personality, although I prefer Jeon So Min's character here).


Conclusion

Another average K drama, pretty cute, nice romance to watch and some funny scenes, nothing extraordinary.

  Title : Record of Youth Genre : Romance, Life, Youth, Drama Leads : Park Bo Gum, Park So Dam, Byeon Woo Seok Premise : Model and makeup artist fall in love while struggling with family pressures and expectations and growing pains as a youth making a life for themselves. Rating  ★★★★☆ (4.5) Describe the show with a hashtag : #MostUnnecessaryBreakupEver Reasons to watch Beautiful visuals Relatable family issues Couple Chemistry Reasons to skip Unnecessary Breakup Unnecessary love triangle Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! This drama started so well! I was pained by the last two episodes. This was a refreshing slice-of-life drama. With everyday characters you could actually imagine existing in real life. There's family drama but nothing over the top. The female lead is strong-willed but not at all annoying, and the male lead is not toxic or douchey. The friendships are portrayed realistically, as we know there can be jealousy among friends, but all issues were resolved very well. The ...

Rating  ★★★★ (4) Describe the show with a hashtag : #OhNoYeonSeo Reasons to watch Seo In Guk The Cafe Minamdang team Keep you on your toes mystery Reasons to skip Extremely unpleasant and annoying female lead No chemistry between the ML & FL Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! I should preface this by saying that I LOVE Seo In Guk and do not at all like Oh Yeon Seo...at least the roles she has played in other dramas. That said, I think many viewers would agree that her character in this drama was the worst part of the drama. I won't throw all the blame on her shoulders, though...

  Title : My Man is Cupid Genre : Mystery, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy Leads : Jang Dong Yoon, Nana, Park Ki Woong Premise : Cupid falls for a woman who is VERY unlucky in love. Is their romance destined or doomed, with a serial killer on the loose? Rating  ★★★ (3) Describe the show with a hashtag : #CGAyeyaiyai  Reasons to watch Good looking cast Well-written female lead...mostly Good "palette cleanser" drama (when you're in a K-drama slump) Reasons to skip Weird pacing Opinions SPOILER ALERT!!!! I picked this drama because I wanted an easy watch. Nothing too dramatic, but with a good plot and cute. It kinda checked all those boxes, but the weird pacing threw me off a bit. There weren't any major cliffhangers, and they started revealing things early in the drama, but somehow, although it felt like a lot was happening, the drama wasn't progressing at a steady pace.  My second issue with the drama was despite showing the female lead making smart choices, they though...
