Love In Contract Episode 8 Review

Love In Contract Episode 8 gives us a classic romcom and some positivity. Gwang-nam had been harassed before for being gay but Hae-jin didn’t get bothered by it and hired him as a bodyguard. The way Ji-ho asked Sang-eun for an explanation, not because of a misunderstanding but because he wanted to hear the truth directly from her shows how a healthy relationship should be.
