Love In Contract starts with Choi Sang-eun having dinner with her husband, Jung Ji-ho. However, soon after dinner, she takes his leave and proceeds to meet another man in the morning. Sang-eun runs a business called ‘Single Life Helper’ which provides wife services to unmarried men. Dealing with nasty clients and befriending a few, it’s a nice nod for the business romance Queen, however not very exciting. Her roommate is a gay man who is an ex-client and that’s about as challenging as the show gets in the first episode.

Jung Ji Ho is the one with the potential to make the show keep floating as he takes on the mysterious role of someone who deals with law and has enough money to hire Choi Sang Eun’s services for five years. Jung Ji-ho is a little strange but working with him feels like a holiday to Sang-Eun. Ji-ho barely talks and always cooks delicious meals for Sang-Eun. He is the only client that Sang-Eun has been meeting every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the past 5 years.

Gwang-nam is his father’s most-cherished only son and his father only cared about him while ignoring his elder sisters. Because he is gay and cannot meet his father’s desire to bring a daughter-in-law. Frankly, Gwang-nam didn’t care about his father’s sentiments, but when his sisters found out that he was gay, they were disappointed, and hence, Gwang-Nam marries Sang-eun to make them happy. Gwang-Nam and Sang-eun get divorced soon after but stay together as roommates. Both of them have similar personalities and get along together.

Kang Hae-jin is an actor and the heir of the Gangjin group of industries but he wants it to be a secret. He repeatedly gets into love scandals, but most of them are rumors. He is often seen talking over video calls with his kitty which leads to misunderstandings. He has named his cat after his first love, Jaime whom he hasn’t seen for many years.

Choi Sang-Eun has decided to retire from her current job and wants to start a new life. Gwang-nam and she have the same dream- to move to another country and meet a man there, who doesn’t know anything about them. Sang-eun finishes her final assignment and gets relaxed but Gwang-nam reminds her that she hasn’t informed Jung Ji-ho about her retirement yet. Sang-eun has gotten used to Ji-ho and finds it difficult to tell him the truth. However, after grasping the reality, she understands that the most useful gift that she can give to her client is to leave him so that he can start living a normal life.

Love In Contract gave us a Romantic Comedy would ask for. Park Min-young is back again with a new series in her metier genre and she never loses to deliver. Her character Sang-Eun is fascinating but, her profession sounds a bit risky. Jung-Ji-ho, and Kang- Hae-jin, these two men in her life with two totally separate stories will be good to watch.
