The trailer for upcoming romance romance drama Kdrama Love in Contract on tvN has been released and we’re loving the crazy love triangle that’s about to hit screens.
The drama is directed by Nam Sung-woo and the main characters are played by Park Min-young, Go Kyung-pyo and Kim Jae-young. Lee Joo-bin, Kang Hyung-suk, Jin Kyung and other actors play supporting roles.
Love in Contract is about Choi Sang-eun, who runs a business that helps single men find temporary partners for various events. Your clients don’t have to get married to hire them. Instead, they can hire them for other events.
Jung Ji-ho has a long-term contract with Sang-eun and fills her schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Things are looking good for her until a new client named Kang Hae-jin comes to her on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. This begins a love triangle that will not be easy to get out of.
The trailer shows her working as a partner for various people and then her time with Ji-ho. Next we meet Hae-jin, a new client who gets into a mess. Ji-ho draws our attention because he is mysterious, but the Hae character jin also shows how happy he is.
When Ji-ho sees how close the two men are and when Hae-jin learns about the hidden side of the violent Ji-ho, the tension between the two men grows.
The male leads only met each other because of Sang-eun. Since they still don’t like each other, Sang-eun drops the bombshell that she wants to quit her job. Although she feels more comfortable around Hae-jin, Ji-mysterious ho’s personality always draws her to him.
Soon the trailer ends on a funny note, with Sung-eun and Ji-ho’s relationship living up to rom-com style, and we’re eagerly waiting for the show to come out.
Has it ever struck you that people who get married often say a lot of nice things to each other in front of a lot of people?
Most weddings in the western world have a part where the two people who are getting married read or say to each other what we call vows.
People sometimes write their own vows. My wife and I did just that. But most people will end up saying a version of this traditional vow:
It sounds good. But here’s what’s wrong. These words should be taken at face value. In other words, a promise. This is not the contract language.
“How do you know what true love is?” A lot of people who want to get married ask. I usually tell them that true love is being willing to balance what you say with what you do.
You can look at a relationship in two ways. Option A is “What will I get from this person?” Option B is to ask “What can I give to this person?”
Option A is full of thoughts and questions related to the person reading it. When someone is in a contractual relationship, they always have to explain their actions and point of view. I always hear things like this:
When you’re in a contractual relationship, you’re basically saying, “I’m going to love you as much as I think you deserve.” It means that your promise to love your partner is based on a set of rules and measurements that only you can change.
When you are in a contractual relationship you tend to give or show love when it is easy or convenient for you. You start giving your love to different people depending on your situation or worse, how you feel.
When I was first married, I didn’t always know the difference between a contract and a covenant of love. I knew I had made a promise, but I also had pretty high standards, and when I didn’t think my wife would live up to them, I would get angry or picky. Even though we had just married, I knew that if I continued like this, we wouldn’t have a good relationship.
The bottom line is that love is based on a contract. There’s always a little voice in the back of your head that says, “If you don’t keep up, he’s gone.”
No one ever wants to be in a contract relationship. But more people than they care to admit end up there because true love, committed love, is hard work.
It also seems to go against what society and your own selfish desires are telling you.
love is not a competition It’s not constantly measuring with a ruler what the other person is giving you or what you are giving them in return.
It does not remember what is right and what is wrong. In fact, real love rarely makes lists because it’s in it for the long haul and knows that most things even out over time.
Real love doesn’t try to protect itself. It doesn’t do anything to win. It is not confident in itself and does not like seeing its name in lights.
The words in the traditional vow are the best way to describe true love. No matter what, love it. A relationship strong enough to endure through good times and bad, sickness and health, abundance and scarcity is a covenant relationship. It is permanent, strong and based on something much more solid than a situation or a feeling.
In a covenant relationship, you love the other person no matter what they do. This is because the other person has dignity and worth and you have promised to love them with all your being.
It means being willing to admit your mistakes, apologize, and then change your behavior. Covenant love means you are willing to look past things that may bother you, accept your partner’s problems, and hope for the best in that person.
The longer I have been married, the more I have learned that letting go of small things is a key element in practicing covenant love. My wife is good at it. I still haven’t gotten rid of a few little habits that drive her crazy. I always play with my wedding ring, I clean her water glass before she finishes drinking, and when I pull weeds from our garden I leave them on the paving stones instead of throwing them in a garden waste bag.
Seriously, I can be very rigid when my plan doesn’t go as planned, I can talk too much and listen too little, and I can easily switch from teammate and life partner to coach.
But I’m glad my wife doesn’t just push me away when I’m doing something else that makes her angry. She wants real love, so she tries to look beyond her anger and chooses to love me even when I don’t deserve it.
True love means putting someone else’s life before your own, both big and small.
That doesn’t mean you can’t have an opinion or that your hopes and dreams don’t matter. It just means that the best way to show someone we love them is to be willing to give up our own good wishes in favor of theirs. That’s what it means to not take care of yourself.
If you stay even though it’s hard, you know you’re in a covenant relationship. If you don’t take the easy route when you have a problem. When you choose to get over a pain or a wound by forgiving and then forgetting.
But that doesn’t mean there are never results. That doesn’t mean there won’t be hard times. It doesn’t even mean that you can be sure that your partner will choose the same kind of covenant love that you did.
You can’t completely control how a relationship turns out, but you can control what you put into it. If you want to feel real love, you must first be willing to give it.
So how do you know if the love you have is real? I think that’s the best and easiest way to say it.
When you can think more of your partner than yourself without belittling your own worth, then you know you are in a covenant relationship.
You don’t give up your whole life on the altar of love. True love lets you use everything you are to help your partner thrive and live the best life they can.
A love contract is a legal agreement that limits an employer’s liability when two of his employees are in a relationship. If an employee is in a relationship with someone else at work, the employer may choose to have them sign a love contract to protect the company if the relationship doesn’t work out. This is mainly done so that no one can sue the company for sexual harassment. So, the love contract states that the relationship is mutually agreed upon and both people in the relationship must sign it. The love contract could also include rules on how to behave romantically at work.
