Loving My Demon? Here are more K-dramas based on contract marriages

[ad_1]

Boy meets girl, either they fall in love at first or bicker till sparks fly and the inevitable happens. But in some cases, only a contract can get the job done. As weird as it may seem, K-Drama fans are all for couples who enter into a contract for self-serving purposes only to realise they are bound together for life. From Song Kang’s My Demon to Jung Yoo Min’s Perfect Marriage Revenge, here are five K-dramas that revolve around contract marriages and are a total binge feast.

Perfect Marriage Revenge

Han Yi Joo (Jung Yoo Min) has been betrayed, abused and even had her life threatened by her manipulative adoptive parents, sister and husband. A twist in fate leads Yi Joo to right the wrongs in her life. She approaches Seo Do Guk, (Sung Hoon) heir to a vast fortune, to marry her. Incidentally, he is also the man her sister has her sights on. Do Guk gladly complies, and tells Han Yi Joo she can use him however she wants to. Perfect Marriage Revenge is a taut, pacy drama with intense chemistry between the two leads.

In her, he finds the perfect bait to comply with his grandfather’s wish to marry him off and secure his inheritance. He asks this rather crazy lady with her quirky behaviour to get into a contract alliance with him.
