The latest episode of the hit Korean drama Would You Marry Me delivered major emotional moments as childhood connections resurfaced and a love triangle intensified. Episode 6 saw Kim Woo-joo finally confessing his real feelings for Yoo Me-ri just as her former fiancé, Wu-ju, returned determined to win her back, creating dramatic tension in their fake marriage arrangement.
A Complicated Reunion
The episode opened with a near-kiss between Me-ri and Woo-joo being interrupted when Me-ri spotted her ex-fiancé, Wu-ju, watching them. She quickly pulled Woo-joo down to hide, creating an immediate sense of tension. Wu-ju rang the doorbell but received no answer, eventually leaving after assuming he had mistaken someone else for Me-ri.
Me-ri later revealed to Woo-joo that Wu-ju had contacted her immediately upon returning to Korea. Woo-joo suggested she tell Wu-ju the truth about their arrangement and even proposed teaming up with him to protect her claim to the house. Me-ri firmly refused, stating she would rather get caught than rely on her ex again.
Wu-ju later visited Me-ri at her office, trying to rekindle their past relationship by talking nostalgically. Me-ri calmly but firmly told him she no longer had feelings for him and asked him to leave. When she updated Woo-joo about this encounter, it unexpectedly triggered jealousy in him, hinting at his growing genuine attachment.
Workplace Crisis And Quick Thinking
Amid the personal drama, the marketing team at work faced a significant crisis. The greeting cards included in their product gift boxes featured poems by a monk who had recently been arrested in a scandal. The team panicked, recognizing this could severely impact their sales.
Me-ri demonstrated quick thinking by helping the team stop delivery trucks and remove the problematic cards before customers received them. Thanks to their fast response and teamwork, they managed to resolve the crisis, and the sales ultimately proved successful.
After the chaos settled, Me-ri confided in Woo-joo about her discomfort in dealing with her ex. Woo-joo reassured her he was willing to continue pretending to be her husband for as long as necessary. This moment of support led to a heartfelt hug between them, showing their growing closeness.
The Hospital Visit And Emotional Confession
The tension escalated when Wu-ju followed Me-ri to the luxurious house she shared with Woo-joo. He forcefully entered the home, accusing Me-ri of cheating on him during their relationship. Initially, he thought she might be working as a housekeeper after losing everything.
As Wu-ju explored the house, Me-ri panicked, fearing he would discover her wedding photograph with Woo-joo. During their confrontation, she accidentally pushed him, resulting in an injury to his wrist that required hospital treatment. Feeling responsible, Me-ri accompanied him to the hospital and stayed by his side, though she was visibly annoyed by his manipulative behavior.
When Woo-joo called to invite Me-ri for lunch, she lied about nursing a hospitalized friend. Woo-joo later arrived at the same hospital and discovered Me-ri with Wu-ju. After helping distract Wu-ju to reduce the burden on Me-ri, Woo-joo confronted her about why she hadn’t called him for help.
When she asked what made him so angry, Woo-joo confessed that he likes Me-ri. He revealed that he dislikes seeing her with Wu-ju and that she should keep her distance from him.
The confession left both characters feeling awkward yet secretly happy, blurring the line between their fake relationship and real emotions.
Supporting Storylines And Character Development
Beyond the central love triangle, other characters experienced significant developments. The subplot between Sang-hyun and Jin-gyeong showed promising growth. During morning runs, one of Jin-gyeong’s teammates collapsed with cardiac arrest. As she performed CPR, two young men arrived, with one taking inappropriate photos of the emergency situation.
Sang-hyun immediately intervened, covering Jin-gyeong with his jacket, taking over CPR, and helping save the patient’s life. He then confronted the boys, deleted the photos, and warned them against such behavior. Jin-gyeong witnessed his actions from a distance and was touched by his kindness. The next day, she returned his jacket with chocolates inside as a thank-you gift, signaling growing affection between them.
The corporate antagonist Han-gu also showed his darker side. The widow of an employee he had killed appeared at the company with documents exposing financial irregularities, which she handed to the chairwoman. The documents revealed shocking amounts of money embezzled from the company. In a panic, Han-gu contacted a woman revealed to be his second wife living in the United States, with whom he has a child, ordering her to delete all evidence.
Woo-joo briefly entered Han-gu’s office and noticed a suspicious document after Han-gu accidentally spilled coffee, but decided not to question it immediately, leaving viewers wondering when this corporate corruption will be fully exposed.
