Would You Marry Me?

Kim Woo-ju and Yoo Me-ri agree to play a newlywed couple for reasons that start practical and a little awkward, but their pretend relationship slowly changes how they act around each other. At first it’s a scripted performance, with staged meals and rehearsed small talk, yet private moments and off-script sincerity begin to leak through. The show follows their shifting dynamics as friends, colleagues, and pretend spouses, showing how habit, care, and unexpected vulnerability reshape feelings without revealing major plot twists or the ending. Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min lead, bringing warmth and subtle humor to characters who learn what intimacy can mean in an odd situation.

Released in 2025, the series was directed by Kwon Da-som and created by Song Hyun-wook, Hwang In Hyeok, and Lee Ha-na. It’s an original TV production rather than a straightforward adaptation, and it arrived with steady anticipation from fans of its cast.

As of now the show hasn’t collected major industry awards, so there aren’t Emmys or Golden Globes attached to it yet. That said, its cast performances have been singled out in reviews and fan discussion, which could translate to nominations down the line.

The series quickly generated online conversation about the chemistry between the leads and about scenes that feel honest rather than staged. Clips and reaction videos circulated on social platforms, and viewers picked up on quieter moments that sparked memes and fan edits, helping the show reach audiences beyond its initial broadcast.

Critics and viewers tend to praise the mix of laugh-out-loud beats and quieter, more reflective scenes, reflected in a vote average of 7.61 out of 10 from early viewers. Major themes include sincerity versus performance, the small acts that build trust, and how pretending can expose real desires and fears. The tone balances light comedic setups with emotional realism, making it feel like a relationship drama that doesn’t shy away from awkwardness or tenderness.
