Betrayed Bride Seeks Revenge in Unexpected Fake Marriage Twist

In October 2025, the new K-drama "Would You Marry Me?" premiered, offering a familiar yet charming take on the fake marriage trope. The series centers around Yoo Me-ri, a fiery and self-assured design studio owner who refuses to bow to workplace sexism. Just days after her wedding to Kim Woo-ju, Me-ri catches her husband cheating, leading to a satisfying and cathartic revenge sequence.

Spiraling further into absurdity, Me-ri's life takes an unexpected turn when she is forced into a fake marriage arrangement with another man, also named Woo-ju, a chaebol heir with his own set of problems. This setup paves the way for a series of comedic mishaps, including cactus-related injuries and hospital visits.

While the premise may seem predictable, the show's self-awareness and the undeniable chemistry between lead actors Jung So-min and Choi Woo-shik elevate the story. Their banter, filled with tension and comedic timing, grounds the show even when the writing falters. Visually, "Would You Marry Me?" is a delight, with its bright, breezy cinematography and a soundtrack that complements each scene.

Though the show stumbles in exploring the deeper complexities of its characters, it succeeds in providing a light and feel-good escape for viewers. "Would You Marry Me?" may not be a revolutionary K-drama, but it knows exactly what it wants to be – an entertaining and charming watch.
