The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract plot: What is the K-drama about?
Based on a webcomic, Park Yeon-woo (Lee Se-young) has lost everything and is kidnapped one night and dropped into a well, but finds herself waking up in present-day Seoul and meeting a man who looks like her husband.
The premise of The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract begins with Yeon-woo in her timeline in the 19th century. In a heartbreaking twist, her husband tells her on his wedding night that he has been suffering from a heart disease. A once-happy wife becomes a widow as he dies in her arms.
That night, Yeon-woo is kidnapped by an unknown man and thrown into a well. Instead of dying, she wakes up in 21st-century Seoul. She locks eyes with a man who is an exact copy of her husband. Kang Tae-ha (Bae In-hyuk) rescues her from drowning in the pool she was transported to.
There are unavoidable parallels between Tae-ha and Yeon-woo’s husband as he too battled heart disease and has trauma from his childhood. As the successor of SH Seoul Corporation, his ill grandfather has one wish: to see him married before his death.
As Tae-ha has no desire to be in a romantic relationship, he asks Yeon-woo to fake a marriage and enters a contract. Fans already see where The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract is heading, it’s a tale as old as time.
