About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a romance that mixes humor with thoughtful takes on modern relationships, marriage pressure, and friendship, with a contract-marriage setup like What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim; Not for you if you hate slow stretches or uneven finales.

Pros: fresh contract-marriage twist; funny yet touching moments; strong chemistry | Cons: slow middle stretch; heavy inner monologues; ending feels uneven
