Remarks

[Cyn-opsis] The FL, Park Yeon-woo (Lee Se-young), dies in a well and transmigrates to present-day. She meets Kang Tae-ha (Baek In-hyuk). He looks just like her dead husband who is also heart-attacked. 

The Korean title, 열녀박씨 계약결혼뎐 (Yeolnyeoparkssi Gyeyakgyeolhondyeon), is translated as "The Story of Widow Park's Marriage Contract". However, Yeolnyeo doesn't translate to "widow". It means a woman who follows her husband in death.

[Cast&Crew]
  • Baek In-hyuk and Yoo Seon-ho were also brothers in Under the Queen's Umbrella. Brotherhood still going strong. Also, Baek In-hyuk's period characters seem to be cursed with a foreshortened fate. 
  • Director Park Sang-hoon worked on Terius Behind Me, which was a lot of fun.
[Ending] Happy... 

[Spotlight Dramas] These are drama posts that aren't currently airing (i.e. open threads) and aren't actual reviews. Have a drama you want to spotlight? Make suggestions via a google form submission because I need a romance checklist if applicable. Other submission methods are outlined in submit a review.


Hidden Agenda: This spotlight post is to complain spotlight all the other time-travels in 2023. (I cheated with Marry My Husband, that's early 2024.) Have we exhausted simple romances that one timeline/life is clearly not enough to be an interesting love story anymore?
