"Would You Merry Me" is ready for viewers to be captivated by the lovely charms of Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min.
The new SBS Fri.-Sat. drama "Would You Merry Me" (written by Lee Hana, directed by Song Hyun-wook and Hwang In-hyuk), which premieres on the 10th, is a sweet-and-deadly 90-day fake newlywed story of a man and a woman trying to secure a luxury newlywed home prize, and it raises expectations as dependable actor Choi Woo-shik (plays Kim Woo-ju) and rom-com powerhouse Jung So-min (plays Yoo Merry) meet to showcase solid acting synergy.
Choi Woo-shik has solidified his reputation as a dependable actor by showing exceptional character versatility in dramas and films such as the drama "That Year, We"; "Melo Movie"; and the films Parasite and The Witch. Having sparked a global phenomenon with the film Parasite, Choi Woo-shik displayed his trademark mischievous charm and premium rom-com acting through Choi Woong in "That Year, We" and Ko-gyeom in "Melo Movie," earning the label "rom-com prince."
In "Would You Merry Me," Choi Woo-shik will show a new side as Kim Woo-ju, the flawless fourth generation heir of Myeongsundang, Korea's first bakery with an 80-year tradition. Expectations are rising for Choi Woo-shik's performance as he transforms into the perfect chaebol fourth generation heir.
Fans also anticipate the performance of Jung So-min, an actor regarded as the epitome of rom-com. Having worked across various genres, Jung So-min rose to prominence as a bona fide rom-com queen by consecutively scoring hits with the drama "Love Next Door" and the film "30 Days." In particular, Jung So-min proved herself as an outstanding actress by winning the Best Actress award at the 44th Golden Camera Awards for the film "30 Days," and she is expected to show even more lovable charms in "Would You Merry Me."
Jung So-min plays Yoo Merry, a bride-to-be on the edge whose life is upended at once by a broken engagement and a rental scam on a newlywed home. When faced with having to give up the luxury newlywed home prize, Jung So-min convincingly portrays Yoo Merry as she sets out to find a fake husband. From sly comic timing to lovable romance, Jung So-min, who delivers a hundred performances in one, draws attention for her signature lovely rom-com acting in "Would You Merry Me."
Above all, the chemistry between Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min is what viewers most look forward to. Already known as chemistry darlings, Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min meet in the unique relationship of a fake newlywed couple, and interest centers on the story they will create. To secure the luxury newlywed home prize, the two will carry out a fake marriage for 90 days, producing chemistry that feels even more real than the real thing and capturing viewers' hearts.
Added to that is the anticipation of the meeting with channel SBS, which induces viewer immersion through brisk developments and a distinctive universe. "Would You Merry Me" continues the success line of SBS-style romantic comedies such as "Love Scout" and "The Office Blind Date." With lovable character traits and an unhindered romantic progression, "Would You Merry Me" will take charge of wrapping up the week. Expectations are soaring for the synergy that Choi Woo-shik, who showed SBS-style first-love romance in "That Year, We," and Jung So-min, who returns to SBS 15 years after her debut in "Bad Guy," will create with rom-com powerhouse SBS.
A week before the premiere, on the 3rd at 8:20 p.m., a special "Would You Merry Me" program titled "Would You Merry Me~replay" will air. The production team of "Would You Merry Me" said, "We prepared a special broadcast packed with rich fun so viewers can meet the charms of 'Would You Merry Me' ahead of the Chuseok holiday," adding, "We will generously reveal everything from Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min's fake newlywed chemistry to the actors' exciting interviews, behind-the-scenes shooting that lets viewers glimpse the actors' pleasant rapport, and explosive laughs, so please stay tuned."
