Premiering Friday, Oct. 10, the new Friday-Saturday series "Would You Marry Me" (written by Lee Ha-na; directed by Song Hyun-wook and Hwang In-hyuk) follows two strangers who stage a 90-day fake newlywed arrangement to win a high-end newlywed home giveaway. With Choi Woo-shik (as Kim Woo-joo) and rom-com favorite Jung So-min (as Yoo Meri) leading the cast, the buzz is already strong for their effortless on-screen spark.
Choi plays Kim Woo-joo, the polished fourth-generation heir to a storied bakery empire, while Jung is Yoo Meri, a small-business owner and scrappy, paycheck-to-paycheck designer. When a twist of fate ropes them into posing as husband and wife, their romance teeters between sweet and sharp―and viewers are here for it.
On the 17th, the production dropped three main “wedding shoot” posters of the undercover couple. Choi in a tux and Jung in a bridal gown lock into an ultra-close pose that all but crackles with tension.
With Jung’s hands looped behind Choi’s neck and his arm resting at her waist, the duo leans in for a near-forehead kiss―amplifying the swoon factor and cementing their visual chemistry. A dramatic veil wraps them in a glamorous haze, hinting at the risky game their faux marriage sets in motion.
Another poster leans into playful, lovey-dovey vibes: the pretend spouses sport matching sunglasses―the must-have accessory for any undercover couple―then switch to monochrome casual wedding looks and mischievous expressions. The easy, in-sync energy only heightens anticipation for their on-screen rhythm in "Would You Marry Me".
The tagline, “A fake couple’s romance that feels more real than the real thing,” promises steady heart-flutters. As Woo-joo and Meri pour on the affection to keep their ruse under wraps for 90 days, expect butterflies on repeat for viewers.
"Would You Marry Me" premieres Friday, Oct. 10 at 9:50 p.m. KST on SBS.
