The Story of Park's Marriage Contract is a wonderful drama starring Bae In Hyuk and Lee Se Young with a beautiful balance of Historical (Old Joseon) mixed with Modern Times (New Joseon), Fantasy (time-travel) romance and light comedy.
For those that don't usually watch historical drama's, it will draw you in with it's perfect balance and that says a lot - initially the marriage contract theme caught my attention which adds the love story, romance and light comedy in modern society. I did get drawn in right away with the historical episodes with the wonderful early love story, the beauty of the FL and the costuming and sets which always catches my attention. The male lead Bae In Hyuk who plays Kang Tae Ha is just as captivating with his acting and handsomeness.
In the modern Joseon I loved the costuming again and how the Old Joseon style was fused with New Joseon and particularly loved Kang Tae Ha's embroidered shirt which was a turning point for the 2 main leads and their "butterflies".
The reason I gave it 9 stars instead of 10 is that quite honestly, I had no idea how many episodes there was going to be - had no idea if it were 16 episodes or what. When I watched episode 12 I actually didn't know it was the final until about halfway through it when I started to think - wait, what? Is this the final? I shouldn't have to guess that and it actually didn't become 100% clear until the last moments to me. I think the ending could have been better but still well worth watching.
