A Rom-Com With a Twist: Fake Marriage, Real Sparks?
Romance meets chaos in SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama “Will You Marry Me?”, premiering October 10. Starring Choi Wooshik and Jung Somin, the series is a 90-day whirlwind of a fake marriage with one extravagant newlywed home on the line. Yes, things are about to get dangerously sweet.
The Premise: One House, Two Fake Newlyweds
Directed by Song Hyunwook (of Another Miss Oh) and Hwang Inhyuk and written by Lee Hana, the story revolves around a couple pretending to be married in order to claim a luxurious newlywed house. Choi Wooshik plays Kim Woojoo, a low-key guy dragged into a sham marriage, while Jung Somin brings on the bubbly chaos as Yu Meri, a woman with a plan for love—or at least, a house.
Character Posters: Florals, Flirting, and Serious Rom-Com Energy
The recently revealed character posters offer a cheeky glimpse into the love geometry (yep, it’s way beyond a triangle). Each character is shown offering a flower—a Korean drama classic move, symbolic of affection, proposals… or plot twists.
- Choi Wooshik lounges with a deadpan face and the line: “A fake husband? Why me?” Classic reluctant hero.
- Jung Somin flashes a grin while handing him a flower like, “Will you be my husband?” Talk about bold.
- Bae Nara plays Baek Sanghyun, the suspicious third wheel with hawk eyes. He senses something is off and is ready to crack the case.
- Shin Seulgi as Yoon Jinkyung gazes wistfully at Choi Wooshik: “Somehow, you became a man to me.” Uh-oh. Cue the complication card.
- Seo Beomjoon jumps in as another Kim Woojoo—yup, same name—Meri’s unfaithful ex-fiancé now stirring the pot with the line: “Meri and the house? They’re both mine.”
Why Fans Are Already Obsessed
This isn’t just any rom-com—it’s one with multiple love lines, mistaken identities (two Kim Woojoos?!), and emotional whiplash wrapped in flower bouquets. Fans are already shipping unexpected pairs, decoding clues from the posters, and bookmarking October 10 on their calendars.
Fake Romance, Real Anticipation
With Jung Somin returning to her rom-com roots and Choi Wooshik showing off his deadpan charm, expectations are sky-high. Will this fake couple find real love, or will exes, spies, and secrets get in the way? Let’s just say: bring popcorn.
