Choi Woo-shik of SBS's Would You Merry Me moves into the home of his fiancée Jeong So-min's family.
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama Would You Merry Me (directed by Song Hyun-wook, Hwang In-hyeok; written by Lee Ha-na) follows a sweet-and-fierce 90-day fake newlywed period as two people fight to win a luxury newlywed home prize. Episode 7 recorded a peak rating of 8.4% and 6.9% in the Seoul metropolitan area, maintaining its run as the No. 1 program in its time slot and the top Friday-Saturday drama. (Nielsen Korea)
In episode 7, Yu-me-ri (played by Jeong So-min) learned that Kim Woo-joo (played by Choi Woo-shik) is the heir to Myeongsoondang and that Woo-joo was the boy her father once saved. Arriving in her hometown of Yeosu on her father's anniversary, Woo-joo confesses that he helped because he liked Me-ri, and they confirm their love with a tender kiss.
Meanwhile, Woo-joo and Me-ri, on the first day of their relationship, draw attention with a lightning-fast romance as they enter Me-ri's family home in Yeosu. Sitting side by side with Me-ri's mother, Oh Young-sook (played by Yoon Bok-in), he looks every bit the prospective son-in-law, prompting laughter.
In the released stills, Woo-joo emits the warm, affectionate air of an attentive prospective son-in-law with soft eyes and a bright smile in front of Young-sook. With his hands politely folded and listening intently to Young-sook, Woo-joo's affection for Me-ri's family is evident.
At the same time, the table overflowing with food seems to express Young-sook's fondness for her prospective son-in-law. In particular, the samgyetang made from a country hen, the dish mothers serve when a son-in-law arrives, is the finishing touch. Young-sook fills a bowl with the country hen and hands it to Woo-joo, showing firsthand that a mother-in-law's love for her son-in-law knows no bounds.
Also catching the eye is Me-ri sitting next to Woo-joo. Unlike Woo-joo in a suit, Me-ri in comfortable homewear avoids her mother's barrage of nagging, while Woo-joo smiles subtly. The affectionate dialectal back-and-forth between Me-ri and Young-sook seems to linger in the air, drawing laughs and piquing curiosity about what will be said at this gathering.
The fluttering scenes of Woo-joo and Me-ri, who have confirmed their feelings and begun a full-fledged romance, can be seen in tonight's (1st) broadcast of Would You Merry Me.
