Sweet 18!

My favourite is: My Girl !
This is the show that got me hooked with k-drama!

My all time favourite contract dating is Goong. Nothing could go wrong with fake royal romance which transforms into a relationship deeper than what a contract can offer:)

Coffee Prince~~~

Family honor

I loved My Name is Kim Sam Soon!! An oldie but a goodie! I'd love to win a book and this one sounds right up my alley. As a teenager all I do these days is read young adult books and watch k-dramas......I need a life

I'm not sure if this counts as the drama skips over contract dating and goes straight to contract marriage/forced marriage, but Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang/Sassy Girl Choon-hyang! That drama started me off on a such a love affair with dramas (and Jae Hee!).

I'd say Goong. I liked it even though it becomes a little unbearable towards the end. T_T

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. :) Hoi Hoi couple for the win! Plus Lee Seung Gi is such a cutie!

I'd definitely have to say it's a tie between Coffee Prince and The Prime Minister and I for me. Loved both, and hope I get the chance to win a free book!

My favorites probably Goong with creating destiny in a close second :)

The book sounds so cute!!!

My favorite would be Dal Ja' Spring. It was my first K-drama and it got me hooked. BIG TIME. OMG I can't stop watching them........ But hey, I met my friends because of them and they're some great conversation starters.

I definitely have to go with Coffee Prince! love it! Also does The King 2 Hearts count? I feel like it was contract-y among other things and i just love the OTP!

I actually think that My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is a contract dating series (but it's not like official or anything on paper) and it's been my first drama and one of my top favorites!

Oh gosh, contract-marriage/relationship immediately takes me to Full House. The choice is cliche, but then again Kdrama are all about embracing that cliche! Thank you :D

This was such a tough choice between Go Eun Chan and Han Kyul versus Chae Kyung and Shin. So, after wretched hours of forethought :) I have decided I love Goong!!!! Was it Yoon Eun Hye and Joo Hi Joon's chemistry? Was it their amazing kisses? Was it those cute little teddy bears? Or, was it Joo Hi Joon's half nekkid... ahem, face?

I guess we will never know. I love Goong!!!! (and Dramabeans :)

If I had to pick a favorite drama about contract dating (it's a hard choice!) I would choose Full House.

I am so, so happy that Jenny Han's written a book about a Korean girl. I remember reading her Summer series and then realizing that the writer was actually Korean - I found, with some dismay, that she had not published any books about Korean girls. I felt like maybe she would, once she gained enough popularity to write about what she wants (because honestly, I feel like books with WoC protagonists have less of a survival chance) and here she did! I screamed.

My favorite contract marriage drama is definitely Goong. It's also one of the first dramas that I remember watching - I'm in college now, but back then I was in elementary school or something. My cousins from Korea were visiting, so we would all crowd around my dad's computer and watch it together. I had the hugest crush on Joo Jihoon, and hated, HATED Prince Yul and his mom with a passion. A few years later, I watched it again with a friend and I distinctly remember throwing my sock at the screen when he showed up.

I actually really loved "Marry me, Mary' or 'Mary stayed out all night".
I know it is considered a huge terrible mess but I just found the central romance and marriage contract stuff adorable and totally loved it all!!
:-)

Hmmm... either Goong or a more recent Prime Minister and I--for the most part!

Favourite contract marriage drama would definitely have to be Goong which was alsoy first Korean drama. I really liked the characters and teddy bears =] Full house was good too ^^

Full House!!! and the best part is the house. so cozy and yummy.

contract relationships... Do I have to choose? Why? My first drug, Goong that led to Coffee Prince then Full House.... Even Witch Yoo Hee (with Jae Hee) Dalja's Spring, Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, Creating Destiny, Oh! My Lady, Lie to Me... Just to name a few ..need I say more? It's so totally Kdrama even though some are not the tops of your list... I'm just a simple sucker for Kdramas... I wish I had many hours in a day just to watch them all!!! Thanks JB and GF.... By the way are you gonna be at the next LA KCON?

Full House!

My all~time favorite is my name is kim san soon, i will watch any drama with the main actress in it.

it would have to be goong even though it was torture to watch with all the angst i found it endearing and touching.

Honestly, the only contract marriage drama I've watched was Goong, but I really loved it :) romantic kind of girl :3 and I've been waiting for this book to come out actually (coincidence?) so when I saw this post I was all *_* MUST. HAVE. BOOK. Please pick me?!? With a cherry on top

Definitely Full House! The bickering and jealousy were the cutest moments even though the plot was tiring at times. And every time Rain smiled, my heart fluttered a tiny bit.

Coffee Prince!!!

Unconventional contract dating and love story. One of my all time Top 10 k-dramas of all time!

:) Bride of the century! It's perfect in every way!!! Not only was the script well written but the story well performed, well developed and well completed! A brilliant drama that went largely under the radar but has built a loyal fan base that came back for more every week for every week was something amazing! Kang Ju and Do Rim forever!!! :)

My all-time favorite contract dating drama is My Girl! Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae were made for each other! Story was super cute and touching. They made you cry & laugh with them and the OST was great! Can't wait to see them reunite in Hotel King (even though it's 32 episodes =_=)

*pickmepickmepickme* ^-^

hmm... probably full house, it's the first k-drama that i watched :)

Goong :)

I think my contract marriage based favorite has to be Goong. It was one of the first Kdramas I watched way back, during my undergrad years. What I loved about it was the friendship that formed between the main pair and the adjustments each had to make to fit into each others lives (The bit when Ji-hoon had to live with Eun-hye's family was classic). Also, the soft romantic scenes kind of reminded me of old Kdramas like Hotelier (one of my other faves)

The other would be Creating Destiny because of the gradual progression of their relationship….and the eventual real life marriage of the two main actors!!

I dont really watch K drama :$ thanks for the giveaway though! email is fatma(dot)h(at)live(dot)com

Full House definitely! Very first korean drama I've watched ^^

Ohmyah!!!
I am a huge Jenny Han fan! I love her "the summer I turned pretty" book so much. She is an amazing writer. And apparently she also has fantastic taste because My Lovely Samsoon just so happens to be my favorite drama of ALL TIME (next to Queen Inhyeon'd Man).

And My Lovely Samsoon is also my favorite contract dating/marriage drama. Although the contract didn't last super long like Full House, its my fave.

this is such a great giveaway, thanks for this ?

Delightful Girl Chun-hyang. Cute and funny and one of the first for the Hong Sister duo. Contract dating is such a good trope.

Even though Full House has a special place in my heart, I'd definitely say Goong! Not only did that drama make me love Yoon Eun Hye to pieces (and excuse all the terrible pieces she has taken up in the past years), it was funny, quirky, beautiful and I loved it so much. I think I marathoned it in two days, I was kind of obsessed with it. I also can't deny that the word 'MAAAAMAAA' got a whole different meaning for me as I had never seen a historical drama before (and this technically wasn't a historical drama either) and I didn't know that royalty was addressed like that.
