The male lead is “Mr Perfect.” He believes in strictly adhering to the rules. Not only is he a stickler for the rules but he’s also a perfectionist that uses scientific reasoning to make sure his decisions are perfect. His personality is very prickly but as the drama unfolds you begin to see the heart of gold he’s hiding underneath it all.

I liked that he’s not mean or arrogant like most typical rich chaebols. In fact, he often goes out of his way to help the female lead. But his sole caregiver growing up was his grandpa who is an intellectual scholar that uses scientific reasoning for everything. So this unusual upbringing makes him seem prickly and unapproachable.

His grandpa is gravely ill and his greatest regret in life is that the male lead did not have the warmth of a normal family growing up. Therefore, his grandpas dying wish is to see him find love and have a happy family. So when the female lead appears in their lives having been swindled out of her life savings and in desperate need, the contract marriage seems the perfect solution. The female lead gets a beautiful home to stay in while she gets her life back in order. And by appearing to be in a happy loving relationship the male lead can make his grandfather’s remaining days happy ones.

The female lead is “Miss Casual.” She’s a very laid back casual person that automatically trusts people because she believes that deep inside most people are really good just like her. So she gets conned and taken advantage of a lot. It’s not because she’s dumb but because she’s a warm caring person that prefers to give people the benefit of the doubt.

This is a light, easy to watch slice of life drama that warms the heart and teaches a lesson. There are no complex plots or action scenes. It seeks the answers to deeper questions in life like, “Can people that are complete opposites have a happy relationship? Must their outlook on life be similar in order for them to be happy together? Or is it better to have someone the opposite of you so that their strengths balances out your weaknesses? If they are strong where you are weak and you are strong where they are weak, is it better? Does it make the relationship stronger and more interesting?” The drama does a great job of answering these questions.

I liked the side characters and the secondary couples and their storylines. I also loved the sweet kind little grandpa. And the romance is really fluffy with lots of real kisses and skinship. What I didn’t like was the pace of the drama. It got a little too slow in some parts. The storyline needed a little more friction to keep it interesting. Waiting until about two thirds of the way through the drama before contemplating the deeper questions in life about relationships (which the drama is about) made the drama drag a bit.

Overall, even though the drama dragged a bit in some places, it was worth watching. Seeing how the female leads warmth and kindness touches the male leads heart and changes him was a joy to watch. His character growth was phenomenal. And when he reciprocates by helping her find direction in her life, I was touched. I liked how the drama showed that opposite personalities are not necessarily a bad thing. You can balance each other out and have a much more interesting life than if you were with someone identical to you because that would be boring. I appreciated the underlying theme and the message it taught. It’s definitely worth the watch.
