Title: My Happy Pill Every Weekend: What WYMM Means to Me
Would You Marry Me has meant so much to me that it even brought me back to Twitter after disappearing for many years ever since Seo Ye Ji’s last drama. I was hooked from the moment I saw the wedding poster of So Min and Woo Shik. It looked so romantic. But honestly, at first, I didn’t think they would have such great chemistry. I always saw Woo Shik as a cute, baby-faced, slightly spoiled guy, and during the early SBS promo clips he seemed so awkward around So Min. I told myself, “Let’s wait and see how their chemistry will feel once the drama airs.”
And from the very first episode… I was gone. I stayed active on X from the premiere until the final episode last week. Even now, I’m still on X every day because I miss Would You Marry Me so much. This is the first week without it, and honestly it feels empty. I haven’t moved on at all.
There are so many reasons why I love WYMM:
Woo Joo and Yoo Meri’s love story, they’re cute, adorable, funny, mature, understanding, and supportive of each other. Their first meeting was pure chaos, and every time I rewatch it I laugh like crazy. It’s unforgettable. Woo Joo’s personality completely hooked me, he’s such an attractive man, warm and sincere. And Meri is so pretty, sweet, and lovable, truly the person who brings him happiness.
I also fell in love with all the supporting characters. The second couple, Sang Hyeon and Jin Gyeong, were adorable, a cold man paired with the cute girl. Perfect balance. Meri’s mom and sister were incredibly cool, supportive, and loving. Woo Joo’s brother and mom were pure comedy; every time they showed up, I couldn’t stop laughing. Their facial expressions alone were enough to make any scene funnier.
Even Woo Joo’s ex, annoying as he was. Through him, we saw two very different versions of Woo Joo, the past and the present, and it made new Woo Joo’s love for Meri even clearer.
And the ending… It felt perfect. Every character received a satisfying conclusion. Meri’s calm, mature behavior toward her ex was so human. And Woo Joo and Yoo Meri’s happy ending, simple, warm, complete, was exactly what I needed. Some people say the characters could have been developed more, but for me, 12 episodes was perfect. The pacing was fast, meaningful, and never dragged. I loved every moment.
 
And I can’t ignore this: Woo Shik and So Min’s chemistry shocked me. It was intense, natural, fresh, the kind of chemistry you can’t fake. Same humor, same energy, same rhythm. It felt like they understood each other without trying.
That’s why I miss WYMM so much. It was my comfort, my escape, my happy pill after long and tiring work weeks. It made me laugh, relax, and feel peaceful. Even now, I still rewatch scenes every night. It’s my favorite comfort drama of the year, and I’m not ready to move on yet.
WYMM didn’t just entertain me, it gave me joy, warmth, and a sense of connection that stayed with me long after the credits rolled.
