The popular K-drama Would You Marry Me concluded its run on November 15, 2025, with a finale that gave viewers the happy ending they were hoping for. The series, starring Jung So-min and Choi Woo-shik, wrapped up its 12-episode story by showing its main couple, Yu Meri and Kim Woo-ju, turning their contract marriage into a real one.
The show, which aired on SBS, followed a chaotic fake relationship that slowly grew into genuine love. The final episode resolved the major threat from Meri’s ex-fiancé and culminated in a heartfelt garden wedding, providing a satisfying conclusion to the characters’ journeys.
How the Final Conflict Was Resolved
The main tension in the finale revolved around Meri’s ex-fiancé, Kim Woo-ju, who planned to expose their fake marriage during a press conference. He was seen rehearsing his speech, determined to reveal the truth and create a scandal for the couple.
However, his plan was stopped before it could even begin. The press conference was shut down by authorities, preventing him from revealing their secret. In a key moment, Meri personally confronted her ex, telling him directly to let her go and move on with his life. This confrontation finally closed the door on her past relationship.
The Real Proposal and Acceptance
With the external threat neutralized, the path was clear for the real feelings between Meri and Woo-ju to take center stage. In a heartfelt scene, Kim Woo-ju proposed to Yu Meri for real, using his grandmother’s ring.
An emotional Yu Meri said ‘YES’ to the proposal, creating an exciting moment for fans who had followed their journey.
This genuine proposal marked the final transformation of their relationship from a business arrangement to a real commitment. The moment was particularly meaningful because Woo-ju’s grandmother had initially been shocked to learn the truth about how Meri obtained the luxurious house and their fake marriage.
One Year Later: A Happy Ending for All
The finale fast-forwarded one year later to show how all the characters’ lives had progressed. The main event was the beautiful garden wedding of Meri and Woo-ju, who finally tied the knot for real in front of their loved ones.
Other characters also found their happy endings. Baek Sang-hyun, after confessing to his crimes and serving a year in prison, was released and attended the wedding as Jin-gyeong’s date. Their relationship had strengthened during his time in jail, with Jin-gyeong supporting him by writing letters and caring for his turtles.
Meri’s mother saw her small shop become popular and successful, while Woo-ju took on the role of CEO at his grandmother’s company. The episode provided closure for all major storylines and character arcs.

The drama had built a strong following since its premiere on October 10, 2025, with many viewers praising the chemistry between the lead actors. As the finale aired, fans shared their feelings online, with many expressing that they weren’t ready to let the show end.
The series became one of the most talked-about romantic dramas of 2025, generating significant buzz across social media and fan communities. While some reviewers noted the familiar tropes, the general consensus highlighted the performances of the cast and the satisfying emotional journey.
