The fake marriage between Yoo Me-ri and Kim Woo-joo is getting more complex as the two leads discover a surprising link from their past. The popular Korean drama continues its run with episodes 5 and 6 scheduled for release on Friday, October 24, and Saturday, October 25, 2025. The show airs on SBS in South Korea at 9:50 PM KST and is available for international audiences on the streaming platform Disney+.
Story Development and Character Arcs
Would You Marry Me follows the story of Yoo Me-ri, a designer facing personal and professional setbacks, and Kim Woo-joo, the heir to a successful bakery business. After Me-ri’s engagement ends due to her fiancé’s infidelity, she wins a luxurious townhouse meant for newlyweds. To claim the prize, she enters a 90-day contract marriage with Kim Woo-joo, who happens to share the same name as her ex-fiancé.
The series stars Choi Woo-shik as Kim Woo-joo, a rational and somewhat self-absorbed marketing team leader at his family’s bakery. Jung So-min plays Yoo Me-ri, a talented designer navigating career challenges and a broken engagement. The supporting cast includes Seo Bum-june as Me-ri’s ex-fiancé, Bae Na-ra as department store executive Baek Sang-hyeon, and Shin Seul-ki as Yoon Jin-gyeong, a doctor who admires Woo-joo.
Episode 4 concluded with a significant revelation that will shape upcoming episodes. Woo-joo discovered Me-ri’s childhood photo in her mother’s wallet, realizing she is the same girl who helped him during a difficult time in his past. This revelation comes as Woo-joo was remembering being rescued by a taxi driver and comforted by the driver’s daughter after his parents’ fatal accident.
Preview of Episodes 5 and 6
The upcoming episodes are expected to explore the impact of Woo-joo’s discovery about Me-ri’s identity. Preview scenes suggest Woo-joo will begin to show more genuine care for Me-ri, possibly leading to developing romantic feelings. He is seen asking Me-ri if his actions and growing affection bother her, indicating a shift in their relationship dynamic.
Meanwhile, Me-ri’s ex-fiancé, who recently discovered that his new girlfriend has also been unfaithful to him, appears to be attempting to re-enter Me-ri’s life. This creates additional tension as the fake marriage arrangement becomes more complicated. The character Sang-hyeon, described as sharp and observant, may also begin to suspect that Woo-joo and Me-ri’s marriage is not what it appears to be.
The series has achieved strong viewership since its premiere on October 10, 2025. Episode 3 reached a peak rating of 7.2% in the capital region, ranking first among Friday dramas for the second consecutive week. The show also recorded a 2.6% rating among viewers aged 20-49, indicating strong appeal to younger audiences.
