Actor Kim Si-eun fully exploded her presence.
In SBS's Friday-Saturday drama Would You Merry Me (directed by Song Hyun-wook, Hwang In-hyeok / written by Lee Ha-na / produced by Studio S, Samhwa Networks), Kim Si-eun, who plays Myeong Sundai's marketing team's youngest member Cha Se-jeong, emerged as the tension maker of the drama by imprinting the character's direction at once with the charm of a real MZ office worker and by demonstrating the drive to uncover the secrets of Kim Woo-ju (played by Choi Woo-shik) and Yu Meri (played by Jung So-min).
On her way to work, Se-jeong deliberately times a greeting to Woo-ju at a cafe, and at a company dinner she immediately imprints the character's direction by showing bold forwardness with blunt lines like "Do you have a girlfriend?" and "What is your ideal type?" She then raises both the drama's tension and fun by showing initiative, such as spotting Woo-ju by chance at a photo studio and even attempting to check the reservation, and by looking on with a curious eye as she pieces together clues.
In the process of getting a step closer to the secret of the fake marriage through clue gathering and verification that began with a chance sighting, Se-jeong inadvertently leads the two to kiss, raising the temperature of the romance while emerging as a key axis that accelerates the secret narrative. Expectations are growing for the everyday feel of the youngest employee and the romantic tension Kim Si-eun will portray in future developments.
As the thrill of falling for Woo-ju at first sight spreads into courage and drive, Kim Si-eun builds Se-jeong's shifts in attitude—into bright energy at the company and boldness in moments of doubt—through steady everyday acting and a rhythmic, buoyant delivery, raising both the character's likability and presence.
Her style changes also draw attention. Kim Si-eun, who mainly showed a student and youthful image, maximizes the youngest member's charm in this work with playful in-office styling and accessories, while completing the character's texture of coexisting romance and daily life steadily with unexaggerated expressions and reactions.
Meanwhile, Would You Merry Me airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m., chronicling Kim Woo-ju and Yu Meri's sweet-and-dangerous 90-day fake newlywed period as they compete to win a luxury newlywed home prize.<
