WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ARE FICTIONAL

CHILD ACTORS WERE FILMED WITH GUARDIANS PRESENT

ANIMALS WERE FILMED UNDER EXPERT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE RULES

Last year's blue crab festival logo put too much emphasis on the crab,

making it look like a fish market promotion.

I think that was a bit unfortunate.

So, Merry Design Studio

came up with a design that portrays a festival

you can enjoy with family, friends, and dates.

Also, the souvenirs you'll give out to the visitors

will include the cute crab image that we designed.

Like this.

GENERAL EVALUATION: I DO NOT WISH TO SELECT THIS COMPANY

Ms. Yoo, do you like blue crabs?

Of course, I do.

I'm a blue crab killer.

I can eat about three in a sitting.

Ohh! Say there's a big one and a small one. Which would you prefer?

Of course, I prefer a big, fleshy one.

The salty, flavorful taste of a fat crab...

My mouth is watering already.

So, you like them big.

There's more to it than just the size.

Ms. Yoo, you're not married, are you?

-No. -Hmm.

Show her what's good.

She likes them big and fleshy.

He's known as the Hongju City Killer.

-Good luck with him.

-Watch yourself. -I will.

2025 BLUE CRAB FESTIVAL DESIGN PITCH

Sir, what you just said.

May I ask exactly what you meant?

Pardon? What did I say?

You wished me good luck.

Good luck with what, exactly?

Why don't you wrap up your presentation?

We're short on time, so don't try to pick a fight.

I'm not picking a fight.

I just want to know what you meant when you said--

- Ms. Yoo? -Yes?

Don't you want the job?

We wanted to give an obscure company a project,

but who'd want to work with someone so aggressive?

Fine.

Don't work with me.

I refuse the job.

I'm sorry, but to be honest,

I'm picky about who I work with myself.

I might as well say this since I won't get the job.

You there.

Yes, you. The man who just pointed.

Do you think you hold a lot of power?

You might have the advantage here, but outside, I have the upper hand.

My taxes pay your salary.

I had no idea

my tax money ended up in the pockets of such trash.

- What?

What did you just say?

-Me? -Yes, you.

-How old are you? -Why would you ask my age?

-How dare she talk like that? -Are you jealous that I'm young?

You dare take that tone with me?

-Let go of me. - Leave it.

-Do you look down on our city? -No, Hongju City is blameless.

JAMYANG PRINT SHOP

So basically, you caused a stir and got kicked out.

Don't worry.

You're my only employee.

I'll manage to pay you somehow.

I doubt that.

We scored zero projects this month.

How will you pay this month's rent?

Did we get any inquiries on our social platforms?

Stay on the line while I go and see.

I think we got a couple of small jobs.

2 PROJECTS UNDERWAY

Giveaways for a new butcher shop

and a logo for a Magok coffee shop.

The coffee shop owner wants to see a portfolio before they decide.

Should we send our old herbal tea design?

Sure, will you come back to the office?

Oh, no. I have to drop by

a nearby department store while I'm out in Euljiro.

You can finish the draft and go home.

Sir.

Could you lower the saturation of this part

while keeping the color Pantone 213?

I lowered it already.

Yes, but the case is transparent, so it'll look different when it's filled.

You can't mind that, too. Who will notice?

A reprint will just cost you more.

I know the difference.

I can't sell anything to a customer if something bothers me.

You're too picky.

You'll never make a fortune doing that.

Sir.

Thank you.

We engraved the wedding bands with your initials.

Thanks.

The receipt, warranty card, and raffle ticket are inside.

Thank you.

Thank you. Goodbye.

I emailed a copy of my boyfriend's passport.

Yes, Kim Wooju.

Thank you. Bye.

That's the honeymoon booked.

WHEN WILL YOU BE DONE?

I love you.

When will you be done?

I'm in a meeting.

You're working late again today?

YOU'RE WORKING LATE AGAIN TODAY?

It must be tiresome.

-Who is it? - You've got this.

- I love you. -What did she say?

I was hoping to have dinner with him.

Oh, gosh.

Sorry.

WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

EPISODE 1

ALWAYS ACCEPT AN APOLOGY

CUTE WOOJU NEVER LET A FIGHT LAST MORE THAN A DAY

WOOJU TAKES OUT THE RECYCLING

HANDWRITE LETTERS ON ANNIVERSARIES

TAKE A MONTHLY TRIP IN KOREA

Forget the wedding and whatnot.

I wish I could call it all off.

Oh, Meri.

You can't just register your marriage and say it's done.

-It's a hassle, but a necessary one. - Mom.

The problem is that there's so much to do.

I have so little money to spare,

but Wooju's mother keeps going on about a hotel.

It's driving me up the wall.

If she has the money for a hotel wedding, she should contribute to our rent.

Her son has a fancy degree, and her husband's a university professor.

She has an appearance to keep up.

Try to understand.

Where are you?

-Did you have dinner? -Yes.

I ate.

I'm at our new place.

I come by whenever I can to unpack and organize stuff.

Did you have dinner, Mom?

I did. What about Wooju?

He moved in already.

He didn't call to tell you?

He must know we couldn't afford this place without your help.

Leave it.

I gave you the money so he'd be good to you.

Let me give you a word of caution.

Don't nag him for not having contributed to the deposit.

You shouldn't discourage a man.

What? Why would he be discouraged?

I cater to him in every way.

I'm good wife material that's rare these days.

You're the kid out of the two of us.

Mom.

I'll make lots of money

and pay you back soo--

What's the matter?

It's fine.

I just stepped on something.

Mom, I'll call you back a bit later.

Bye.

What is this?

It's not my...

I look like a model.

What about this?

It's when I played golf with some investors.

I know that.

-A comment on that post. -Yes.

"Sweet Jenny 97."

-What? -She liked every single post of yours.

SWEET_JENNY97 YOUR FACE IS ALL I SEE

You follow each other. Who is that?

She's just a colleague of mine.

Didn't I mention her? I bet I did.

She went to school in Hong Kong.

Did you sleep with her?

Hey.

What's up with you?

Why the heck would I sleep with her?

Then why did I find this by the bed?

What's this?

Oh, I was at a company workshop in Gangwon-do last week.

A few colleagues came by to look around.

-Colleagues? -You see, they were dead curious.

She must have dropped it then.

I should give it back.

Last week, your department head went fishing on Anmyeondo Island.

Your section chief took his kids to Lotte World.

Assistant Manager Jang.

He went to the wedding of a guy he met in the army.

The Gangwon-do workshop...

Did you and Jenny go on your own?

Sunset Resort.

Each suite has a private pool.

You were there overnight, so I don't need to ask what went on.

What do you think?

If you keep denying it,

should I cause a scene at your office like some soap opera?

Hey.

Fine.

I'll come clean.

I'm Adam, who fell for a snake's lies.

I partook of the forbidden fruit. So what?

"So what?"

Why do you think I did?

It was because I was under so much stress.

My investors call every day about profit margins,

while I'm just a newbie with a wedding coming up.

Don't you see how much is on my mind?

I was already on edge, and you nagged me so much.

You called, texted, and bossed me about with the wedding prep.

I felt like I was being fried.

Am I getting married on my own?

I work full-time, too.

-I'm busy, too! -I know you are!

That's why I...

I'm sorry.

I'm a jerk.

I deserve a beating!

Say a number. How many slaps?

I know you have a glib tongue.

But not today.

I won't let you off like that today.

Meri. Let's think rationally.

We booked a wedding hall, got a marriage license,

and rented an apartment.

Leave me, and you'll be a divorcée even without a wedding.

Wow, isn't that so unfair?

It is unfair!

Right? That makes zero sense.

That girl, Jenny...

She's just a fling.

And you and I will be together forever.

It was a one-time mistake,

and I ended it with her already.

JENNY

When are you coming over?

I'm waiting for you in the underwear you got me yesterday.

Isn't it pretty?

It's my section chief.

About tomorrow's business trip.

Did I ever ask to see your phone?

No.

I have a bad feeling.

If I don't see this now, I might doubt you forever and ever.

Move your hand.

What are you doing?

It was my section chief.

Let me see it.

It was my section chief, okay?

Exactly, that's why I want to see.

Why see my section chief's...

Are you all right?

-Did he step on her hand? -Hey.

He stomped on her hand.

-What's going on? -Is she okay?

Why did you try to see my phone?

You shouldn't cross the line however close you are with someone.

Let's see your hand.

"The line?"

You're the one who crossed the line.

That apartment is ours, and we're soon to be married.

You brought another woman over.

-No way. -How could you do that?

Is he out of his mind?

For seven months after you got your new job,

you always worked late or had a team dinner.

You were so hard to reach.

You even forgot my birthday and our anniversary.

I got fitted for a wedding dress on my own because you were too busy.

I couldn't bear...

the thought of letting our five years go to waste.

So, I told myself to ignore everything and just marry you.

But I won't.

I think I'll divorce you one day even if we do get married.

If it's bound to happen one day,

that might as well be today.

Meri.

She actually drenched him.

- Did you see that? - That was insane.

She's pretty old, you see, and I need to sit next to her.

- Is it for health concerns? - Yes.

Could you get him to swap with me?

I'll ask the gentleman for you.

-Will you come with me? - Sure.

- Let's go. - Yes, thanks.

Sir?

Were you assigned seat 5D?

Yes.

This gentleman says

he was given a seat apart from his elderly mother.

He'd like to know if you could switch with him.

I'm so sorry.

My mother is very old,

and I need to assist her during the flight.

Will you swap with me, sir?

I don't want to.

My seat is also in business class.

Sir?

Hello?

We have reached our destination

at Incheon International Airport.

When opening overhead storage after the plane stops,

please take care to ensure nothing falls out.

Thank you.

14 HOURS PRIOR

The old hag's trying to run away without selling the land,

so I'll sit next to her and get her to sign the papers.

My big sister in Seoul won't let me anywhere near Mom.

I need to get the papers signed on the plane.

Mom could die any day now.

That's why I need the papers signed soon.

Ma'am.

Keep the land deeds until the day you die.

Don't trust your son and hand it right over.

You can't trust anyone out there.

I just landed.

I'm going straight to Yangyang.

You rotten fool.

Why not drop by to say hi first?

I made a video call before I got on the plane.

It's not that I want to see you.

I picked too many zucchinis.

I can't eat it all.

Put them in the freezer. I'll eat them when I'm back.

You never say you'll come by.

I'm scared you'll put me right to work.

Grandma, it's my first holiday in three years.

I'll let you off just this once.

Just wait until you start work.

How can you only think about putting your one and only grandson to work?

I spent a fortune to feed and educate you.

I have a long way to go to make up for the tuition I invested.

You're so calculative.

A peddler's not a peddler if they're not calculative.

Okay, fine.

Good luck with the zucchinis and sweet potatoes while I'm away.

See you in a month.

I'll be in touch.

You prepared a lot of food.

-Shall I stay and eat with you? -No.

He survived on hamburgers in a foreign country without his parents.

I was hoping to feed him some home-cooked food.

HAPPINESS

ONE MONTH LATER

The one-month consideration period has ended,

and I confirm Kim Wooju and Yoo Meri's intent to divorce.

I can't believe all the things you make me do.

Stupid me.

I shouldn't have registered our marriage when you asked to.

It was the only way to get your mother to pay the housing deposit.

Are you saying she forced you against your will?

-You-- -That's not true.

-What did your mother say? -She didn't say anything.

I couldn't tell her I became a divorcée before I even walked down the aisle.

Sorry.

I'll tell her later when the time's right.

I said we'd postpone the wedding because you're busy.

Keep that in mind.

Okay.

I'll vacate the apartment, so take your stuff.

Are you moving out?

Do you want me to live there when you...

I took out a massive loan.

You're right.

You'll have much less debt, at least.

It's a good thing we broke up.

Sure, it's just great.

I'm so grateful I could cry.

I have much less debt.

Hi, Jenny.

Are you at the airport already?

Yes, I'm just about to leave.

Okay, see you soon.

I'm going somewhere on holiday.

I have to hand in our divorce decree.

Did you fill in your details?

Yes.

Thanks for submitting it for me.

Don't thank me.

I'm doing it in case you don't.

Hey, don't hate me too much.

We were

in love for a while.

Meri.

Live a good life.

Forget all about me.

Wooju.

Get lost.

Hey, you should find a good guy.

Don't wait too long.

You get over love with love!

I'm on my way now.

Darn you!

-I love you. -I love you, too.

I'll live well without you now.

I'll make lots of money.

I'll go on lots of trips.

I'll even go on blind dates.

I'll forget the likes of you...

I'll live...

-Eat it on the way. -What's this?

Ooh!

It's corn bread.

I got it from the best place nearby.

Just for you.

How is it?

-It's good.

I should bring you some bread next time.

Bread?

My family owns the best bakery in the whole country.

-Hmm. -Oh!

Thanks for this.

MYUNGSOONDANG

Congratulations.

Myungsoondang won the President's Award at the Industrial Day award ceremony.

How do you feel?

I don't have much to say,

but that I'm grateful and thankful.

I appreciate the acknowledgement that I make everything

as if it were for my own child, using no preservatives.

I can only thank you.

How humble of you.

Myungsoondang is Korea's first-ever bakery

-as well as... -Your grandma

dumps a whole load of additives when she cooks.

-Just not in the bread.

You should, too, since your food is horrible.

...you even announced a new beginning.

-Eat all you want. - How is that going?

At the Paris Dessert Fair last year,

our hangwa was incredibly popular.

I got many inquiries from department stores

in Paris, London, and New York,

so I plan to promote our traditional hangwa

as a K-dessert throughout the world.

Chairwoman, can you pose with one of your products this time?

Yes, sure.

Here you go, Chairwoman.

Get me one of our new products.

Here it is.

Will you take the photo so the hangwa looks nicer than me?

Mom, you're not shooting a commercial.

Why not make an interview work as well as one?

Yes, let's milk it for all it's worth.

"Make it worthwhile."

Use nice language.

I used easy language, Mom.

One, two, three.

We meet at last.

JUNGMUN POLICE, SERVING WITH WARMTH

A rental con?

The homeowner had left a realtor

in charge of the property while she was abroad.

Without the realtor knowing,

their assistant got someone to pretend to be the homeowner

and sign a fake lease with you.

What happens to me, then?

You have to move out,

or the homeowner will report you for trespassing.

I can't move out until I get my security deposit back.

You need to sue the people who conned you to get that back.

But the fake homeowner is a vagrant who let the scammer use his identity.

Are you saying I might not get my money back?

WOOJU

What? A rental con?

You should've looked into it better.

Do you have rental insurance?

Why didn't you do something that basic?

My uncle?

Yes, he's at the Public Prosecutors'...

I can't ask a favor for something like that.

Don't talk as if it has nothing to do with you.

I don't know anyone else to ask for help.

Is there nothing you can do?

My savings, a bank loan, and my mom's money went into it.

-It's 300 million won.

Meri.

It does have nothing to do with me.

It's none of my business now.

We're complete strangers now.

You need to accept reality.

Will you call me whenever something goes wrong?

It's really rude to call your ex out of the blue like this.

I picked up this time for old time's sake, but I won't anymore, okay?

No, wait.

-Wooju, hello?

WOOJU

The phone is off. Transferring to voicemail.

Oh, no.

What do I do?

He's right.

We are complete strangers now.

But even so.

We only just broke up.

Is that all he could say?

I haven't even submitted our divorce decree.

If not for you,

I wouldn't even have rented that apartment.

And now you're turning your back on me?

What am I to do now?

MOM

Hi, Mom.

Hey, Meri.

I braised some yellow croaker and seasoned some cucumbers.

Wooju's parents haven't moved, right?

What?

You don't have to send them food.

Let's keep the good food to ourselves.

Why cook for them? It's extra work for you.

I made a little extra while I was at it.

Cooking a bit more food doesn't wear my hands or feet.

Just don't send them anything.

Why would you keep sending them stuff?

MERI

What's up with you?

Do they not like my food?

No, it's not that.

There's nothing else I can do for them.

I want to do what I can for you and them.

I can only do this while I'm still able.

I don't have much longer.

My shoulders are beginning to ache, you know.

-Mom.

I'm sorry.

What the heck?

Have you finally grown up now that it's time to get married?

Meri.

Don't think too much and go to bed.

I have to watch my favorite show. Bye.

Okay, bye.

CHEONGHUN 1-GA

You went off course.

-What? -Rerouting.

Oh, geez.

Turn right at the next corner.

WOOJU

Kim Wooju, you punk.

Why did it send me this way?

My goodness...

Go straight for 150 meters and turn right.

What was that?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Are you really fine?

I'm fine. It hurts a bit, but I'm okay.

Let's go to a hospital just in case.

I'm good.

I'll give you my number, then.

See a doctor, then call me.

What a hassle.

Here you go.

Thank you.

-Goodbye. -Bye.

KIM WOOJU

"Kim Wooju"?

Yes, that's my name.

You piece of dirt.

Why did you ignore my calls?

-Me?

You punk!

Do you think avoiding me will work?

Why would I avoid you? I'm not like that.

You're not?

Take responsibility, then.

"Take responsibility?"

Aah!

You want a settlement?

Whatever. Hand it over right now.

Fine.

How much do you want?

A hundred million won.

-A hundred million won? -Yes, that's right.

What is wrong with you?

Do you take me for a pushover?

-You're being unreasonable.

You're the unreasonable one.

Do as I say.

-Hand it over. -What?

It's my mom's money.

Hand it over, punk.

You're insane.

Why are you asking me for the money to give to your mom?

Where do you think you're going?

Where are you going?

What do you think you're doing?

Get out of my car.

I won't.

What the...

Drive on.

My goodness.

Why are you so strong?

-Get out. -No.

Get out.

Come here.

-Will you stop it? -Get out already.

Leave me alone.

-Stop it.

Darn you.

If you don't stop this, I'll call the police.

Hey, you.

What are you doing now?

You can't go.

Why do you keep trying to get away?

-Is she crazy? -Shouldn't we stop her?

You want to run away?

Hey, are you seeing this?

Should we do something?

-What's wrong with her? -I don't know.

Hey.

Aren't you being too hard on me?

You cheated on me.

What makes you think you're in the right?

-What? -Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you making me do this?

I became a divorcée

without ever getting to walk down the aisle.

My mom...

It will break her poor heart.

What about my mom?

I can't tell her the truth.

Mom...

Mom, what should I do?

Mom...

Hey, are you all right?

You...

I don't think you are.

You're...

-It hurts! -You...

Come here.

Help me.

Why would you...

- How many did we get?

A total of 17.

Did we get everything?

There's one more over there.

Oh, here it is.

We're done.

Don't shower for the next two days.

I'll prescribe you a painkiller and antibiotics.

Okay.

Hey, how did it happen?

Wasn't she drunk?

She reeked of alcohol.

How could you confuse

a cactus for a stool because you were drunk?

Sitting on a cactus must be so painful.

It'll throb for a few days, but she'll be fine.

It's usually a job for the interns,

but I did it myself because you asked.

Thanks, Jingyeong.

-You were the first to come to mind. -What?

Only when you need help?

You've been back for a month, and you never called.

How did you know I was back?

My dad is your grandmother's doctor.

He heard it during her checkup.

Aah!

So...

Who is that woman?

Your girlfriend?

It didn't seem so.

My girlfriend?

As if she'd be my girlfriend.

She's just some drunk I met in the street.

She bumped into my car.

You did that to her?

What? Well, no.

It's a long story.

I'll tell you another time.

Do you work late all the time?

Yes, I'm preparing for a conference,

so I have to stay up for a whole week.

I'm so tired.

Cover your mouth when you yawn.

Wooju.

I treated her, so you owe me a coffee.

A coffee?

Sounds good.

What's wrong with her?

I told her to get an X-ray.

Hey, Jingyeong.

The coffee has to wait.

Wooju.

Kim Wooju!

Couldn't he even stay for a coffee?

I could take a taxi.

And sit like that?

You must've been so flustered earlier.

The alcohol must've made me lose my mind.

I know you thought I was a weirdo.

To be honest, I had a bad day today.

I can't go into detail since we just met, but...

I mistook you for someone else.

You happened to have the same name.

By the way, I don't need to get an arm X-ray.

-It was just a slight bump...

I smell the alcohol whenever you talk.

I feel dizzy.

Excuse me.

I'm really sorry,

but could you pull over?

What for?

Going backwards gives me motion sickness.

Seriously?

Fine.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

The sun is rising.

It's like a red flower...

blooming through the dark.

Even though my world crumbles,

the sun still rises,

and morning still comes.

There's always a way out, right?

It feels as if Mother Nature...

is giving me a message.

The message must be "feed me."

I'm the type...

who must eat breakfast every morning.

Would you like to get breakfast?

It'll be my treat.

I know a good hangover soup place nearby.

No, thanks.

Let's go.

Okay.

Thank you.

About your arm.

You should get it checked.

Don't complain about it later.

Okay.

Thanks so much for everything today.

Text me your account details. I'll wire you the gas--

What is wrong with me?

Oh, whatever.

It hurts.

Where every step and every breath carries elegance.

Where life becomes art.

It's Beauté Palace.

Beauté Department Store's wedding festival

is for newlyweds who want a great beginning.

A Beauté Palace unit worth five million dollars

you just saw in the video is the grand prize.

Yes, that's right.

It's Beauté Construction's ambitious new project,

a high-end luxury town house.

It gathered a lot of attention, and so many entered the raffle.

The couple that wins the apartment must be so pleased.

I'd have delayed my wedding if only I'd known.

I'm so sad I'm not a newlywed!

-Shall we pick the winners? -Yes.

Everyone wants one of these at home.

A must-have for the fashion-conscious, a styler!

Why make a huge fuss when it's rigged?

It must look real to avoid complaints.

You think?

I'm sure you took care of it.

Congratulations.

What do I do now?

One, zero,

seven, three!

Ha Minyeong, congratulations!

LEE SEONGGYU DATE ENTERED: APRIL 12

Lee Seonggyu.

The mayor's wife's nephew?

Beauté Department Store's 30th anniversary wedding festival.

It's time to select the winner of the grand prize.

Let's not waste time and get right to it.

Beauté Department Store's CEO will select the grand prize winner.

Sir! Come on up.

Our CEO is doing his best to select the right winner.

Give him some applause!

He picked a ticket at last.

Please announce the winner.

As the CEO of Beauté Department Store, I will announce the winner myself.

The grand prize winner is...

Hello?

Is this Ms. Yoo Meri?

This is Beauté Department Store's PR Team.

A raffle?

What raffle do you mean?

2 MONTHS AGO

Sorry.

WIN A TOWNHOUSE WORTH FIVE MILLION!

YOO MERI DATE ENTERED: APRIL 15

If I win, I'll spend the rest of my life...

No, I'll do good even in the afterlife.

Oh, that.

I won?

What?

Yes.

Yes, that's me. I'm Yoo Meri.

Yes, of course. I'm sure it's me.

Congratulations, Ms. Yoo.

I need to confirm your identity.

Can you send us a few documents?

Oh, documents.

Yes, of course, I'll send them.

Give me a moment.

Yes, I'm ready.

A copy of your ID card.

A copy of my ID.

Proof that you don't own a home.

Proof that I don't own a home.

Proof of income,

and proof of marriage. That's it.

Proof of...

-Proof of marriage? -Yes.

To be eligible to win, you must make less than 80 million won a year

and be newlyweds who don't own a home.

Yes, okay. I understand.

Bye.

Proof of marriage?

Will they cancel my win

if I say I'm divorced?

I didn't hand that thing in.

SEOUL FAMILY COURT

DIVORCE DECREE

I still have it.

Since I haven't handed it in yet...

FAMILY REGISTRATION DETAILS

SPOUSE: KIM WOOJU

I'm still legally married.

THIS DOCUMENT CERTIFIES THE ABOVE DETAILS

I checked everything thoroughly.

They're newlyweds who got married five months ago,

don't own a home,

and their income meets the criteria, too.

She meets every requirement completely.

Shall we go ahead with the award ceremony?

Our CEO should attend as well.

-Postpone it for now. -Okay.

What? To when?

Well, Yoo Meri said her husband couldn't come.

If we push back the ceremony, I need to ask her if they'll be free.

Her husband can't come?

Why not?

I talked to her on the phone earlier.

Yes, I got all the documents.

Will your husband be abroad for a while?

Well...

I don't see why you can't come alone.

-That's a no. -What?

Didn't you read the fine print?

The fine print?

Yes, I just noticed the fine print of the terms and conditions.

"The win will be canceled

if it turns out they lied on any of the documents,

and the winner will be held legally responsible."

And also...

"The winner must actively participate in any company promotions,

and they must attend the award ceremony as a couple."

That's a must.

There are no exceptions.

What?

You said earlier today that it wouldn't matter.

Why the sudden change?

What happens if my husband can't make it?

Then it will be canceled.

It'll be canceled? That's not fair.

I won the raffle. You just need me.

Who cares if my husband's there or not?

That's the rule.

That's the rule.

There's nothing I can do.

Ah!

CEO YOO MERI

Okay, I got it for now.

I'll be in touch.

What kind of rule is that?

This is madness.

Give me a kiss.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

-Hello?

It's me. I can't seem to reach you.

I have something urgent to discuss. Can you call me quickly?

It's really important.

I won a lucky draw kind of thing.

This is paradise.

Hey, baby.

You're back.

My cutie.

Aren't you hungry?

-Are you hungry, Jenny? -Yes.

-Shall we go eat? -Yes.

NEW MESSAGE

YOU HAVE A NEW VOICE MESSAGE

MERI

Who is it from?

It's a spam message.

BLOCK CONTACT

BLOCK

Let's go.

Okay.

WOOJU

The call cannot be connected.

Transferring to voicemail.

Come on. Pick up.

I can't do anything if I can't talk to you.

It's as good as out of my reach.

It's a pie in the sky.

This is Kim Wooju.

I was wondering if you went to the doctor.

No, I was too busy to...

NO, I WAS TOO BUSY TO

KIM WOOJU

WHERE LIFE BECOMES ART

KIM WOOJU

KIM WOOJU

He has the same name.

The department store people won't know if I bring someone else.

They've never seen him.

What did the doctor say?

Did you get a doctor's note?

Oh, the doctor.

I was too busy to see one.

Are you perhaps married?

I'm sorry?

Are you a married man?

No, why?

That's a relief.

What is?

I gave it a lot of thought.

I know it's rash to say this when we've only met once,

but you're the only one I can turn to.

Could you...

be my husband?

WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

You'll pay me to play your fake husband

-for a day? - Yes.

I'm not kind enough to be generous to a scammer.

The husband must be present.

Otherwise, we'll redraw.

-Are they in? - They'll call after discussing.

You quit as team leader if you fail.

I lost everything in a rental con, but I won a five-million-dollar house.

-I just need a husband to tag along. -You won a prize?

So, that's what this is all about.

Do you have any idea how risky this scam is?

It's me. How have you been?

I'm in Seoul.

I'm one of the residents here.

-Over there? -That one?
