There’s something about a well-timed romantic comedy that feels like a warm hug—and SBS’s Would You Marry Me delivers just that. With its premiere pulling in top ratings and fan buzz, the drama is already shaping up to be a fall favorite.
🎬 The Premise
A meet-cute with emotional depth. A proposal that’s not quite what it seems. Two people navigating love, timing, and the chaos of modern relationships.
Choi Woo Shik plays a charming but emotionally guarded lead, while Jung So Min brings her signature blend of vulnerability and wit. Together, they create a dynamic that’s both playful and poignant.
📺 The Ratings
While 5.6% might seem modest, it was enough to top its time slot across all channels—an impressive feat in today’s fragmented viewing landscape, where streaming and replays often dilute live ratings.
- 5.6% nationwide on premiere night—No. 1 in its time slot across all channels.
- Outperformed MBC’s To the Moon (2.5%) and JTBC’s My Youth (1.9%), signaling strong viewer engagement.
More than just numbers, the premiere sparked fan buzz for its grounded chemistry and emotionally intelligent writing—proof that connection can’t always be quantified.
💌 Why It Resonates
- Chemistry: The leads feel lived-in, like they’ve loved and lost before.
- Tone: Balances humor with emotional realism—think Because This Is My First Life meets Our Beloved Summer.
- Visuals: Soft lighting, cozy interiors, and autumn palettes make every scene feel like a Pinterest board.
