I love K dramas and they are now pretty much all my wife and I watch on TV, but I have been so disappointed with some of the series we have watched lately that I have left reviews attacking the poor and lazy writing that have made them almost unwatchable.
This is far from the case with Marriage contract. The name and plot description are not really inviting, but we were pleasantly surprised by how well this series was put together. Firstly, the acting was excellent with the lead character and her 7 year old daughter being totally believable in every scene and all the other actors well cast and played. The thing that set this apart from the typical K drama was that although it was 16 episodes, it was well paced with no artificial scenarios thrown in for the sake of stretching the story unnecessarily. Even though there were characters who were highly dis-likable, they were believable in their actions and responses. The ending was not the desired outcome for the viewer but was still handled well and it seamed real and left the viewer with acceptable closure. Everyone involved with this should be proud.
