full house :)

Wow a Korean American writer.Story sounds interesting.
My favorite one is Dal Ja's Spring too.I really loved that drama and the lead actors >w<.I want Lee min Ki back in Drama land.

The book sounds right up my alley! :)
I would love to give it a read!

My favorite contract marriage drama would have to be an old classic, Full House. The two characters seemed like an unlikely pair but somehow made it work at the end. It saddened me when the girl fell for the guy first and the guy was stupid but when the reverse happened, haha! It was an enjoyable drama overall back in the days when the Hallyu wave was in its infancy.

Is Full House can be considered contract dating? Or contract dating and contract marriage are the same?
Then, my favorite will be Full House.

I have fond memories about it. It was one the first kdramas that I watch. It makes me Rain and Song Hye Kyo fan and I even ship them in RL back then.
I love their silly and cute bickering and eventually their falling in love.
Although the show is full of cliches and the conflict is manufactured I will still watch it whenever it aired on my TV network.
Their chemistry is cute and adorable and I still remember Rain sang Three Bears song. So adorable!
Oh, and I still listen to the OST.

It would definitely have to be My Name is Kim Sam Soon for me. One of my firsts n all-time favourite k-drama that started me on the 'un-returnable' path to k-drama addiction. Haha.

Secret Garden :)

I have to say Coffee Prince!

Funny thing is, my sister talked about this book last week and how she would love to give it a read. I didn't know it was about a Korean girl till now!

The 1st shop of Coffee Prince. It's my all-time favourite!

Secret Garden. <3

Okay, pick me, pick me. My high school students approached me years ago and we have a Hallyu Wave club on campus. My students would love reading this book! I'll donate it to the library so all the students can enjoy. My fav contract dating show is Kim Sam Soon as well. Why not buy a house with the earnings? I liked the lead character until he slapped his ex-girlfriend. *deep sigh* That scene never sat well with me. I really don't enjoy seeing characters being slapped on screen. But, as for dating contracts, Kim Sam Soon had a good one.

My favorite contract marriage/dating drama is Creating Destiny with Eugene. I found it an enjoyable and funny with not too much melo going on. ^ ^

My favorite K-drama that includes contract dating would also be My Name is Kim Sam Soon. It was my first K-drama and what got me hooked on them in the first place. Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi javabeans. I`m from Mongolia! I really love to read your posts! Thank you for all your hard work. My favorite contract dating korean drama is The accidental couple with Kim ah joong and Hwang jung min. At first i just thought it was one of cliche korean contract marriage drama, also i didn`t know the main actor at all! Then i just checked out first episode and fell in love with it. I loved the main guy`s sincere love for the woman. Furthermore loved the sister/ brother dynamics. I`d be really appreciated if you could give me the book. :)

Is Personal Taste acceptable? lol...I like cheesy dramas.

My favorite K-drama that includes contract dating would also be My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. It was my first one and launched me into total K-drama love. Thanks for the opportunity!

"My Name is Kim Sam Soon" - first drama I ever watched. Got hooked immediately. :)

Lie to Me

My name is kim sam soon is probably also my favorite contract dating/marriage drama. Although, if 쾌걸춘향 (sassy girl choon hyang? I forget the english title exactly) counts, I'd say that one was also memorable, but my opinion of that drama has definitely fell, as rewatching dramas definitely makes me think twice about how I rank them. I think I may have to rewatch my name is kim sam soon sometime this summer lol

Not sure if it counts as a contract marriage, but I would say my favorite would be Sassy Girl Chunhyang!

Hi i`m your reader from Mongolia. Thank you for all your hard work. My favorite korean contract dating/marriage drama would be Accidental couple with Kim ah joong and Hwang jung min. At first i thought it was just cliche contract marriage k drama but after the first 2 episodes i fell in love with it. It was my first time seeing Hwang jung min in drama. He won me over with his acting. His character`s earnest and sincere love for the woman, always protecting and watching her silently, doing everything for her was just great. Also sister/brother dynamics were lovely. Story about ordinary postman winning over top actress through accidental contract marriage. :). I`d be appreciated if you could give me the book. I`m really interested in it. Thank you.

Hi! I'd have to say Full House. It's my first Korean drama and I've been hooked on contract dating/marriage drama since.

Like the author, I'm going to have to go with "My Name is Kim Sam Soon." It was my first "official" K-drama, the one I credit to making me a drama fan/addict.

Hi Dramabeans! Thanks once again for giving all your fans another chance to win this giveaway! I've actually read the other books written by Jenny Han. She has this whole trilogy series that I absolutely adore.^^ Anyways, as for the favorite contract romance drama I have, for me, it would have to be The Prime Minister and I/The Prime Minister is Dating. It was a flawed drama, definitely. And I know that many would not agree with my choice. But I was simply so sunken into the storyline, I couldn't pull myself out. It had been a while since the last drama that really compelled me to watch it. The King 2 Hearts, City Hunter and Innocent Man really were the top dramas that I would really be able to engross myself in. And I found that The Prime Minister and I was just the cup of tea I needed for 2014. I watched the drama a bit later than it had started. I started right about when episode 10 started and woah, I was just googly-eyed the whole time I watched it. It really pulled me in. All the funny antics with the krazy-glue hand prank by Na-Ra. It was such a heartwarming and cute drama. Yes, the storyline sort of spiraled a bit for me towards the finale week, but all in all, it was the rom-com I had been waiting for. :) Thanks once again!

For me its COFFEE PRINCE!!!
It's my best romcom drama FOREVER!

i love Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo chemistry, love the story, love the cast, love the interaction family on coffee shop, love the ending! I love the story without antagonist character!

i really want this couple reunite again on other drama..

Goong/Princess Hours, I loved everything about it!! Madcap heroine, handsome princes, and hijinks abound in the palace... ♡.♡

My Name is Kim Sam-soon for sure! What's there to dislike? Kim Sun-ah, Hyunbin and Jung Ryeo-Won in a single drama!!!!

Can I say the first 60% of Prime Minister and I or is that cheating? (I try to pretend the ending just didn't happen :-) But MNIKSS is pretty awesome as well.

My most favorite K-drama involving contract dating is Full House. It's the first one that came to my mind after reading the post. I absolutely love the drama! It's a classic and I don't mind watching it over and over again. I got to see Rain act for the first time and Song Hye Kyo is now one of my most favorite Korean actresses. Also, Full House is the first K-drama I watched and it got me into other dramas. My other favorites include Coffee Prince and Secret Garden.

Kim sam soon..
I love korean drama.. thats why i would like to try the book..
Is there korean manga?

I actually don't want the book, so you can pick someone better.

And just to be different, my favorite drama with contract dating is Ojakgyo Brothers.

I do have a question, though.

What exactly do you mean by this statement?

"I have to say I was really happy to read about a Korean heroine in a novel where her Koreanness is a clear presence without the novel being all about her being Korean."

Do you mean that the main heroine is just like a regular heroine with touches of Korean culture thrown in here and there as background?

Thanks

For me, Full house is the best marriage contract drama i love most.when im in colleague, i remember buying the dvd because i want to watch the drama faster than in local television.i spend few night to watched it until the end.and watched over and over again .....,and even now i watch it again if i miss the drama.love it very much........^.^

Master's Sun... It started off as a contract and turned into dating, so totally counts right? :P

My name is kim sam soon!! It inspired me to chase my dreans, go to Le Cordon Bleu in paris, and be the patissiere I am today. Plus, a good looking hyun bin never hurts. :p

Waah How come there's no mention here of Chun-Yang? So I'm gonna go ahead and say that my favourite is My Sassy Girl Chun-Yang. It holds a very, very tender spot in my heart. XD (Though Full House is what made me a romcom addict in the first place)

And may I say that I love this giveaway? I love you ladies! XD

My favorite contract dating drama has got to be Full House. It was the first korean drama I watched way back when. It is simply a classic and so cute!
