Love In Contract Episode 1 Recap

Love In Contract Episode 1 sees the unusual work of Choi Sang-Eun, a "contract marriage master" who has a clear distinction between personal life and professional work. She decides to finish her 13-year job and plans to have a sweet retirement where she can finally focus on her own life.

Sang-Eun has already promised her roommate Gwang-Nam that they will live peacefully in Canada after settling things with her biggest client, Jung Ji-Ho. The backstory of how their relationship started is also revealed.

Jung Ji-Ho appears in front of Sang-Eun and begs her to take him as a client and get married. He only has one condition, and it is to eat dinner together in the evening like a couple. The two had been living a unique married life for five years, meeting each other on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
