Okay, the plot is ridiculous. She has to touch him every 24 hours to keep the contract alive. That means constant accidental hand-holding. And face-touching. And one time, she literally tackle-hugs him in a boardroom.

Every time he smiles—which is rare—you feel like you won the lottery. And every time she cries, you’re a puddle. The emotional whiplash is real.
The Side Characters? Absolute Chaos
The best friend is a bartender who gives terrible advice. She’s like, “Just kiss him! What’s the worst that could happen?” Oh, I don’t know, death?
Then there’s the ex-girlfriend. She’s not evil—just messy. She wants him back, but she also kinda wants him to be happy? It’s confusing. And I respect that.
And the mom? Oh, the mom is a nightmare. She threatens our heroine with a restraining order. Then she cries and says, “But you’re the only one who understands him.” Make it make sense!
