Love In Contract


Love In Contract Episode 4 Highlights

Thoroughly checking the CCTVs, Ji-ho deduces the target of the helmet guy who harmed Sang-eun is Hae-jin.

He also supposes that the stalker might have misinterpreted the two’s relationship since they live in the same building.

“You found out something important Ji-ho. That I didn’t get attacked because I deserved it. And you Kang Hae-jin don’t need to be sorry giving your shirt to someone who got hurt because of you.”

With Ji-ho’s theory, Sang-eun subtly mocks Ji-ho’s previous words saying she unintentionally attracted trouble and Hae-jin’s lending of a shirt worthy enough since she was harmed because of his stalker.

Ji-ho walks Sang-eun out and she takes the chance to ask about the concert ticket. He relays going there as well but wants to be alone.

At the concert, they met but Ji-ho opted to sit farther. However, he bumps into his professor with his wife and was chided for coming without his team.

Enter Sang-eun who perfectly knows what to do to save Ji-ho. She plays his wife’s role well during dinner and was loved by Ji-ho’s professor’s wife.

After dinner, they walk to the public car park. Learning about Ji-ho’s poor social skills, Sang-eun gave her insight that he needs to work with people and not be alone.

Ji-ho proposes that she finish the remaining days of the contract while he also works on the videos. She agrees and also suggests she helps him to better interact with people so he can be likable.


“There’s no need to make a relationship complicated. Whether work or personal.”

After helping Kangjin Group secure the land for a project, Yoo Mi-ho is arrested for guaranteeing a green belt land. All along Kangjin Group intends to have her take the fall.

Ji-ho explains to Sang-eun the gravity of Mi-ho’s situation and he learns that the latter raised his contract wife.

Gwang-nam who has been having second thoughts about moving out of the country meets his family for his grandparent’s memorial. However, it turns sour when they talk about his being alone emerged.

Sang-eun visits Mi-ho and declares to cut their connection entirely. Bailing out Mi-ho; Sang-eun used all her money which makes her Canada settlement plans with Gwang-nam getting bleak.

When Ji-ho informs Sang-eun that he has to eat out with his team for dinner on their Friday schedule; she asked if she can eat alone at his place to which he agrees.

Meanwhile, Hae-jin who has been a subject of controversies like being gay is summoned to Kang’s family by his father demanding he gets married.

Arriving at his house swarmed by reporters; Hae-jin spots Sang-eun walking in the same direction. He puts on his shades and Sang-eun’s scarf to hide her face and leads her to an impromptu press conference – where he announced that he’s getting married to Sang-eun.

Ji-ho who witnessed the wedding announcement on TV suddenly feels a strange tension


Love In Contract Episode 4 Musings

Sang-eun confronts the reality that she needs to put off her retirement along with starting a new marriage contract setup in Love In Contract. Interestingly, it will be with two men who live in the same building.

Now we can see the love triangle direction for Sang-eun, Ji-ho and Hae-jin. Now, that she’s broke; Sang-eun would most likely accept Hae-jin’s offer to be his contract wife.

In the preview of episode 5, Ji-ho is also coming out of his comfort zone to ask if Sang-eun wants the contract to be extended.

Viewers can look forward to how Sang-eun would navigate her new marriage contracts. Hopefully, the process can also gift her with what her heart really wants – belongingness to someone that she truly deserves.

Episode 4 gave a glimpse of Sang-eun’s disheartening life being raised to be a bride for Ina Group by Mi-ho. But we still need details on the final straw of her leaving Mi-ho. We can see it was a restricted life bound by rules and goals.

Love In Contract

Bonus lessons on different marriage woes for single people are going to be recurring mentions in the series, like the case with Gwang-nam and one of Sang-eun’s clients who bear the pressure of being urged by their family to settle down.
