Love In Contract Episode 2 Review

Jung Ji-ho is the star in Love In Contract Episode 2. Sang-eun and Ji-ho definitely have chemistry but both have been denying their feelings because of the business contract that they had. Ji-ho is eccentric and it is difficult to tell what kind of a person he is. His suspicious activities make him look like a sociopath and a killer but on the other hand, he is gentle toward Sang-eun. Hae-jin brings just the right amount of humour needed to fill in the silent conversations of Ji-ho and Sang-eun in the series.
