Goong !

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. Though it took me a few years before i sat down to watch it, not only did i enjoy it very much, but the drama faciliated my acceptance of Lee Seung Gi & dramas of similar nature. Such a breath of fresh air. ._.

Full House is my favorite if only because it was the portal to my kdrama addiction.

Looking back it was quite contrived but nothing could elicit the same girlish squeals of yesteryears when these contract relationships seemed so plausible and romantic! It was the right drama at the right era of my life that allowed these flood gates of the Korean wave to wash over me!

Probably a toss up of mine between Coffee Prince (the chemistry and the banter. Love!) and Personal Taste. The latter was one of my first Kdramas and I hold a weak spot for it.

My girlfriend is a Gumiho!! I love me some Lee Seung Gi!

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho!!

Soo many to chose from! Some though are borderline contract marriages, so not sure if they quite count like King 2 Hearts.
But, I think I'll have to go with The Prime Minister and I. I loved how both characters grew because of their interactions with each other. Except for the last few episodes, I loved how Nam Da-jung was unafraid to speak her mind and tried to change the rough relationships within his family. The creation of the contract and the contract itself was pretty funny since it was completely one-sided in favor of Kwon Yool and Nam Da-jung knew she got the short end of the stick.

Definitely My Lovely Sam Soon. It's my favourite "comfort food" drama and it made me adore Jung Ryeo Won and Hyun Bin.

I'd say the Prime Minister and I. I know that the awesomeness sadly petered out towards the end, but the first 3/4 were charming and delightful with its sweet and tender romance.

This book sounds really great.
I guess my favourite so far is Prime Minister and I. It had lots of family moments and heart, just what i love. ^^

Oooh a book giveaway! I have been looking for a long time for a new good romantic comedy book to read, so I really want to check this one out and hope it doesn't disappoint.

As for my favorite contract dating drama it would definitely be between Full House and Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang. Full House was one of my first dramas and every time I re-watch I love how childish Rain acts in it and I laugh throughout it. It was also one of the first dramas I introduced to my mom causing here to fall in love with watching dramas and of course Rain too. I love Chun-Hyang too though because the female lead is so strong and caring in it and their romance journey was really sweet and funny. I love both, but if I had to choose between them, then I guess I would go with Full House just because of sentimental "first time" reasons.

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity though, and I'll be sure to check out Jenny Han's work after seeing all the compliments her books have been getting in the comments.

So many good contract dramas out there. Reading through makes me want to rewatch some of them.

But my favorite is Full House! I watched it so many times already!

wow now that I think about it there r a lot of kdramas out there with contracts in them. I have to say that my favourite one would be coffee prince, even if the contract wasnt what holds them together and keeps the story going for the whole drama. Actually I prefer it that way cuz eunhye and goo yoo were so cute together and the romance was super sweet but also sincere. i am glad that books like these r being written cuz I think reading a kdrama can be just as fun and insightful as watching one :)

Prime Minister & I!

Wow, this is a tough question considering that dramaland is filled with contract dating/mariage! :P The first one that came to mind though, is delightful girl choon-hyang!

There was just something about it that made it very memorable. I loved it as an ensemble, from the comedic timing to the fiesty characters and the touching relationships (especially between choon-hyang and her father-in-law!). Definitely recommending it to those who are on the hunt for a new drama :)

It has to be Goong for me. It was the very first K-drama I watched and I just fell in love and I never turned my back after.

That book looks soooo good! Me wants it!

Full House. My first drama so it holds a special place in my heart. :-)

"My Girl" is probably my all-time favorite contract family member k-drama. (I wish I could choose it as my #1, but I'm not sure it counts.)

And while I really liked "My Lovely Kim Sam Soon", because the female protagonist is definitely far from the typical delicate thin beauty and because it took place in a bakery, I have to admit the over-the-top, makjang-filled, cliche-subverting nature of "Bride of the Century" definitely gets first place for me as my #1 contract dating/marriage kdrama. There's never a slow episode and the schemes and counter-schemes between the cunning prospective ahjumma in-laws provide the plot twists that kept me guessing and left me very entertained. And there's still just enough room for the romantic and comedic beats in order to not completely bog us down with too much angsty makjang. Granted, the supernatural element could be played better and the male lead looks far too baby-faced to play CEO, but the good points of the drama make me shrug those questionable bits away. It helps that the male lead and female lead have great chemistry too. I don't know but I just really love this drama.

Although I'm a bit confused. Is this drama currently airing? It's not in the side-panel of this website as currently airing and the other sites I checked didn't provide much clues. Does anyone know?
