When i first watched The Story of Park's Marriage Contract i immediately got reminded of The Forbidden Marriage. I believe that if you enjoyed this drama there's a high chance you'll also enjoy The Forbidden Marriage. Here's a list of similarities of both dramas:

- both are sageuk romance comedy
- both love stories lie heavily on "contract" and premeditated arrangements.
- ML in TFM and FL in TSOPMC couldn't get over their exes
- both FL are unique in their own way, emotionally mature, funny, and very likable
- both ML are down bad for their respective FL lol
- she fell first he fell HARDER

- Both involve contract marriages (out of convience ).
- ML in love with the female lead.
- Successful ML.

Both FLs travel from the past to the present and work in fashion. Both fall in love with the ML, a double of a man they were close to in the past.

Both shows have a lot of similarities! They’re both about fate and have a few historical scenes, which are done really well. These two shows are my current favs and they both include going against “fate” or a “curse.” Highly recommend The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract for the great cast, OSTs, plot, etc.! It’s super heartwarming and makes you feel happy, just like A Good Day to Be a Dog ?

What she doesn’t realize is that she has been marked with an ancient curse that has been the cause of all of the misfortune in her life. He Lan Jing Ting is the Jade Master, a secretive cultural relic specialist whose face remains unseen to the public eye. He Lan Jing Ting is practically alien to people, but no one knows just how true that statement is. The Jade Master is actually a deity from another realm. When He Lan Jing Ting meets Guan Pi Pi, he becomes convinced that he can make her believe in love again. But for a man who lives his life in solitude, it might be tough to save a woman suffering from a supernatural, millennia-old curse.
