Your typical cliche drama of a contract marriage...

This drama's genre is marriage contract, so you know that more or less there will be a similar storyline. It's a pretty cliche drama overall, from the start of not liking each other to the forced contract marriage, aka female lead is in need of money moving in together, slowly liking each other, finally together, bumps in the relationship, plus 2nd female lead liking male lead, sabotage, company fail, break up and finally get back together! This is basically the drama in a nutshell.

Was there something special ? Yes and no... I felt like in this drama they had very cute and sweet moments.Definitely many accident kissings/pecks of the lips. 2 to be exact but then it goes for a long time before they kiss again. Their relationship is pretty cute and full of fuzzy heart beating moments.

However they really lacked the communication! like the reason they broke up was due to the male lead not having enough time to spend with the female lead, but in reality the male lead 's company was on the verge of going bankrupt/lose all of their investors. She is more of a simple head, naive girl, while the male lead is more complex. Their way to express love is also very different. The male lead gets me mad for not having enough balls to say I love you to the female lead. Lol the female lead said I love you to the male lead while she was drunk. Also the male lead is so freaking dull when it comes to relationships haha. Like very straight headed and one minded haha, making the female lead mad all the time.

I initially liked the female lead portrayal, she is very clever in making money, she is bold and a talented anime artist, but her character doesnt have too much growth. The storyline is more focused on their relationship and the relationship between her best friend and her older brother. The episodes become more of a back and forth bickering, and at some points got pretty boring. I would say that 30 episodes is too much... 24 would of been better.

Also Im not that fondle of 2nd lead being a green tea.... ( that means in front of the male lead she's all innocent but to the female lead she does stuff to sabotage and make the female lead look bad. And or course the 2nd female has to be in the male lead's company and is basically the male lead's right hand man.

I liked the music! but overall not that bad of a drama but not that good. It's still a decent watch.
