About Would You Marry Me
Would You Marry Me (Korean title styled in various romanizations) is a 2025 South Korean romantic comedy that turns a wedding fantasy into a high-stakes contract. The premise centers on a luxury prize: a dream home reserved for newlywed couples. When a bride-to-be sees her engagement collapse just as she is buried in debt, the dream apartment she had counted on slips out of reach unless she can still present herself as one half of a happily married pair. Her solution is to recruit a stand-in husband and fake a marriage long enough to satisfy a 90-day inspection period, after which the home would be hers to keep.
The man she enlists is Kim Woo-joo, played by Choi Woo-shik, a brilliant but emotionally guarded heir to South Korea's oldest bakery, while Jung So-min stars as Yoo Me-ri, a determined designer trying to rebuild her life after a broken engagement. Their arrangement is purely transactional at first, two strangers performing the rituals of newlywed life to fool a watchful inspector and the people around them. Predictably, the line between performance and feeling blurs: shared routines, small kindnesses, and the pressure of keeping their secret push the contract couple toward something neither of them planned for.
Created by writer Lee Ha-na and directed by Song Hyun-wook and Hwang In-hyeok, the series ran for a single season of twelve episodes on South Korea's SBS, airing on Friday and Saturday nights in late 2025 and streaming internationally on Disney+. Built on the well-loved fake-marriage and contract-relationship tropes of Korean romantic comedy, it leans on the warmth, banter, and slow-burn chemistry of its leads.
