Final Series Review
Episode 12 — and the entire series — ends with the classic “kids’ menu combo” of K-dramas: everything magically works out just because.
Would You Marry Me started off badly, then improved in a surprisingly strong middle stretch… and then melted like an ice cream under the sun from episodes 7 to 12.
And just like that… this drama is over.
Episode 1. No Spark, No Charm, Just Another Contract
Choi Woo Shik and Jung So Min are once again playing the same roles — she’s the Korean Meg Ryan, and he’s got the exact same personality he had in Our Beloved Summer. The script recycles the most overused K-drama cliché: the contract marriage. No chemistry, no charm, no soul. Even within its own rom-com territory, this first episode feels flat and uninspired. Hopefully, it gets better.
