The first teaser has dropped for MBC’s upcoming fantasy romance The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract, where we follow our lost-in-time heroine Lee Se-young (The Law Cafe) as she’s transported from 19th century Joseon to present day South Korea.
Opening in her time, about 200 years back in the past, Park Yeon-woo (Lee Se-young) reflects on the magic of destiny as we watch her relationship with Bae In-hyuk (Cheer Up) blossom. In voiceover, we hear their conviction that no matter where they are or what they do, they’ll find their way to where they want to go.
Sadly, tragedy soon strikes the newlywed couple on the very night of their wedding and Yeon-woo’s husband dies in her arms. We then cut to Yeon-woo falling down a deep well, which somehow leads her to travel through time and land in the year 2024.
Here, she meets her late husband’s doppelgänger, the cold chaebol Kang Tae-ha (also played by Bae In-hyuk) who suffers from a heart disorder in addition to childhood trauma. But because this is dramaland, our leads are thrown into a contract marriage – for various reasons yet unknown – and destiny does what she does best by bringing in that thing called love.
Although the teaser focuses on our main pair, the web novel adaptation also stars Yoo Seon-ho (Under the Queen’s Umbrella) as Tae-ha’s younger half- brother and Joo Hyun-young (Behind Every Star) in the role of Yeon-woo’s maidservant.
Directed by PD Park Sang-hoon (My Secret Terrius) with scripts by Go Nam-jung (Wife Scandal), MBC’s The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract is slated to air this November, following part 2 of My Dearest in the weekend slot.
