The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract, starring Lee Se-young, is based on Angelique, Kim Neo UI, and Dotda’s webtoon.
Lee Se-young, who starred in Red Sleeve, will play Park Yeon-woo, a Josean Era lady whose husband dies on the first day of their marriage. The former would not even have time to mourn his death if she was thrown into a well.
Park Yeon-woo would soon find herself in 2023 South Korea, where everything seemed strange and foreign to her senses. She looks for ways to travel back in time to her hometown, where she lived and lost her husband on their wedding day. There, she meets someone who uncannily resembles her one-day husband Kang Tae-ha.
Several media outlets have already confirmed that Baek In-hyuk will play Kang Tae-ha, a modern-day loner who rejects marriage and physical intimacy. Park Yeon-woo and Kang Tae-ha would decide to marry on the basis of a contract in which they would not have any physical intercourse but would follow certain rules and live in the same house for their individual personal benefits.
However, when Park Yeon-woo falls for Kang Tae-ha, who looks exactly like her late spouse, her plan to return to Joseon is jeopardized. Fans are excited to see how the couple portrays themselves in The Story of Park’s Contract Marriage. Angelique and Kim Neo UI’s webtoon of the same name, drawn by Dotda, is the inspiration for the upcoming time travel and mystery drama starring Lee Se-young and Bae In-hyuk.
Yoo Sun-ho will also appear as Kang Tae-min in the upcoming drama The Story of Park’s Contract Marriage alongside Bae In-hyuk and Lee Se-young. The director, screenwriters, and other ensemble members have not yet been revealed by the production team.
