Love In Contract Episode 16 Review

Love In Contract lost its sparkle in the final episode. It was rushed and the emotions weren’t delivered effectively, except for Gwang-nam’s journey towards accepting himself. The budding friendship between Hae-jin and Ji-eun was also a treat to watch as Hae-jin wasn’t alone and confused anymore and he finally found not one but many friends.

Park Min-young is a name that is always attached to rom-coms and her dramas have seldom disappointed viewers. Love In Contract was yet again different from her most popular works but she has done a great job. The drama is fun to watch but do not have high expectations as it gets lousy as it nears the end.

Love In Contract Episode 16 is available on Viki.
