Warm moments, but not memorable enough
“Would You Marry Me?” follows Yoo Me-ri (Jung So-min), a designer whose engagement collapses after a betrayal. To keep her newlywed house prize, she enters a fake marriage setup — a familiar K-drama trope, but presented here with a softer touch.
A warm and heart-soothing rom-com starring Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min, the drama gives exactly what it promises: comfort, light humor, and gentle chemistry. It slowly blends fake marriage with real emotions, creating cozy moments and a relaxed watch.
“Would You Marry Me?” is one of those dramas that lands directly in the middle — not bad enough to abandon, but not strong enough to truly stand out. The setup is warm and relatable, focusing on love, friendship, and the pressure of settling down. The early episodes especially pull you in with their softness.
The good part:
The leads share a calm, natural chemistry that shines in quieter scenes. The drama portrays modern relationships well — the confusion, the timing issues, and the fear of risking a friendship for love. The OST is soothing, and the overall vibe feels comforting. For viewers who enjoy slow, heartfelt storytelling, several moments genuinely hit the mark.
The downside:
The drama struggles with consistency. Some episodes feel stretched, conflicts repeat, and a few emotional scenes don’t land as strongly as they should. Certain characters lack depth, making the story feel thinner than its theme deserves. The pacing slows down too often, pulling away from the emotional impact. It isn’t boring, but it never rises to a must-watch level either.
Overall:
“Would You Marry Me?” is a wholesome, steady romance with a handful of touching moments, but it doesn’t deliver a strong punch. It’s comforting, simple, and relatable — yet slightly forgettable. A good casual watch, but not a standout drama.
In simple words: a sweet concept with weak execution — nice for a relaxed watch, but not a top romance of 2025.
