Plot Summary: What is “Would You Marry Me” About?

“Would You Marry Me” is a refreshing rom-com that follows a man and woman who agree to enter a 90-day contract marriage in a bold attempt to win a luxurious newlywed home. As they pretend to be the perfect couple, they find themselves navigating not only the challenges of faking love but also the unexpected emotions that come with living together.

Main Cast and Characters

Choi Woo Shik as Kim Woo Joo

Choi Woo Shik, known for his emotionally nuanced performances, plays Kim Woo Joo, a math graduate from a prestigious university who now works at a top financial firm. He’s attractive, charming, and seemingly the perfect fiancé. But despite being engaged to Yoo Mary (Jung So Min), he finds himself straying when his ideal type appears, leading to a dramatic breakup.

Jung So Min as Yoo Mary

Jung So Min takes on the role of Yoo Mary, a smart and determined woman who agrees to a fake marriage with Kim Woo Joo. Whether out of ambition or desperation, her decision to compete for a dream home sets the stage for a rollercoaster romance. Yoo Mary is expected to be a relatable female lead with both vulnerability and strength.

Seo Bum June’s Role

Seo Bum June will reportedly portray a different version or parallel role of Kim Woo Joo, adding more layers to the character’s arc. Known for his roles in “The First Night with the Duke,” Seo brings charm and emotional depth, making him a valuable addition to the cast.

Shin Seul Ki as Yoon Jin Kyung

Reality star-turned-actress Shin Seul Ki has been cast as Yoon Jin Kyung, a first-year family medicine resident. Despite her stunning looks that turn heads everywhere, she has a laid-back personality and pays little attention to her appearance. This down-to-earth vibe adds a fresh perspective to the character mix.

Bae Na Ra as Baek Sang Hyun

Rising actor Bae Na Ra plays Baek Sang Hyun, a relatable, ambitious man who grew up in poverty and is determined to break into the elite class. His sharp eyes are set on Kim Woo Joo and Yoo Mary, and his observations might just stir trouble—or reveal truths—about their fake marriage.

A Rom-Com With Social Commentary

Beyond the romantic antics, “Would You Marry Me” also hints at deeper themes such as materialism, social mobility, and the emotional toll of modern relationships. The competition for a “luxury home” isn’t just for laughs—it reflects real societal pressures many young couples face today in South Korea.

Release Date: When Will “Would You Marry Me” Premiere?

SBS has confirmed that “Would You Marry Me” will premiere in the second half of 2025. While the exact date and time slot haven’t been revealed yet, the drama is expected to air on SBS’s prime-time weekday lineup, likely Monday–Tuesday or Wednesday–Thursday.
