Get ready, K-drama lovers — SBS’s upcoming romantic comedy Would You Marry Me? (우주메리미) is shaping up to be one of the most delightful and emotionally layered dramas of 2025. Set to air from October 10 to November 15, 2025, this 12-episode series draws viewers into a world where love, family, and fate collide in the most unexpected way.
A Bakery Heir Meets a Designer with a Plan
At the heart of the story is Kim U Ju, the only son and fourth-generation heir of Myungsoondang, South Korea’s oldest bakery. He’s not your typical chaebol — U Ju is a brilliant marketing team leader, a perfectionist, and a self-confessed logical narcissist. After the passing of his father, he shoulders the family legacy while trying to keep his emotions firmly under control.
Then comes Yoo Me Ri, a spirited and hot-tempered designer from a partner company. After enduring betrayal by her ex-fiancé and falling victim to a fraudulent lease, she’s desperate to protect the “newlywed prize” she won — a luxurious townhouse meant for married couples. Her solution? A fake marriage proposal to Kim U Ju, who, ironically, shares the same name as her cheating ex.
Thus begins a marriage of convenience filled with hilarious misunderstandings, heartfelt growth, and the slow realization that maybe — just maybe — their fake vows could lead to something real.
From Contract to Connection: Themes That Hit Home
“Would You Marry Me?” cleverly weaves together some of K-drama’s most beloved elements — fake marriage, contract relationships, and leads brimming with undeniable chemistry — while grounding the story in themes of self-worth, healing, and rediscovering love after betrayal.
The drama also explores family pressure, chronic illness, and the weight of legacies, giving emotional depth to what might otherwise seem like a lighthearted rom-com. Fans of titles like Business Proposal, Because This Is My First Life, or Her Private Life will likely find themselves right at home here.
Behind the Scenes: A Dream Team of Directors and Writers
Directed by Song Hyun Wook (Beauty Inside, Marriage, Not Dating) and Hwang In Hyeok (My Father Is Strange), the series promises the perfect blend of humor, heart, and chemistry. The script comes from Lee Ha Na, whose previous works are known for sharp dialogue and emotionally charged storytelling.
With such a seasoned creative team, Would You Marry Me? is poised to balance both laugh-out-loud comedic timing and heart-tugging emotional arcs.
