Korean dramas continue to capture global audiences with their mix of heartfelt romance, clever plots, and irresistible charm. This October, fans can look forward to another must-watch series as Disney+ Hotstar premieres Would You Marry Me?, a brand-new 12-part romantic comedy starring Choi Wooshik and Jung Somin.
Launching on October 10, 2025, the series blends witty humor, sham marriages, and an unconventional quest for love with an irresistible high-stakes twist.
A Luxury Townhouse, a Sham Marriage, and 90 Days to Win
At the heart of Would You Marry Me? is a quirky yet high-stakes premise. The story follows Yoo Meri (played by Jung Somin), a local designer who recently separated from her fiancé.
Just as she begins piecing her life back together, Meri receives life-changing news: she’s won the jackpot in a newlywed lottery, securing a chance to claim a $5 million luxury townhouse.
The catch?
To actually claim the prize, Meri must prove she’s happily married and maintain the charade for 90 days under the watchful eye of an investigator determined to expose frauds.
Desperate, Meri teams up with Kim Wooju (Choi Wooshik), a man who coincidentally shares the same name as her ex. Together, they embark on an elaborate scheme to convince the lottery board of their love—all while navigating misunderstandings, lingering baggage, and unexpected feelings.
Meet the Stars: Choi Wooshik and Jung Somin
The series brings together two of Korea’s most beloved stars in a refreshing on-screen pairing.
Choi Wooshik plays Kim Wooju, the fourth-generation heir to Korea’s oldest bakery and a marketer working within the family business. Best known internationally for his role in the Academy Award-winning Parasite and Netflix’s A Killer Paradox, Wooshik brings his signature warmth and understated humor to the role, making him the perfect reluctant partner in this romantic ruse.
Jung Somin stars as Yoo Meri, a talented designer whose unlucky love life takes an unexpected turn. Recognized for her versatile performances in Love Next Door and Alchemy of Souls, Somin balances vulnerability with determination, embodying a heroine that audiences will easily root for.
Their on-screen chemistry promises plenty of witty banter, comedic missteps, and touching moments that will keep viewers hooked from the very first episode.
Behind the Scenes: A Strong Creative Team
Adding to the excitement is the powerhouse creative team behind Would You Marry Me?. The series is penned by Lee Hana, known for crafting heartfelt and relatable romantic narratives.
Direction is shared by Song HyunWook and Hwang InHyeok, both respected names in the K-drama industry for their skill in balancing romance, humor, and emotional depth.
With such a strong team, fans can expect a romcom that not only entertains but also leaves lasting impressions about love, trust, and the risks we take to secure happiness.
Why This Romcom Stands Out
Unlike typical romantic comedies, Would You Marry Me? introduces a unique blend of romance and suspense. The looming presence of the investigator adds constant tension, making every interaction between Meri and Wooju more urgent and unpredictable.
Will they manage to fool the system, or will their fake marriage turn into something real before the 90-day deadline?
This playful yet emotional setup promises not only laugh-out-loud humor but also heart-fluttering moments of vulnerability and growth. The stakes—a $5 million luxury townhouse—make the story even more irresistible.
