Jung So Min is ready to showcase her unbeatable charm once again in SBS’s highly anticipated Friday-Saturday drama Would You Marry Me, premiering this October.
Known as one of the genre’s most reliable romantic comedy queens, she is taking on a fresh role that blends realism, humor, and heart.
Yoo Mary: A CEO Who Does It All
In the series, Jung So-min plays Yoo Mary, the hardworking CEO of the small design company Mary Design. With only one employee—herself—Yoo Mary juggles every role, from design and sales to hands-on labor. Despite her struggles, she never loses her spark or determination.
Her life takes a surprising turn when she proposes a fake marriage to her ex-fiancé Kim Woo-joo (Choi Woo Shik), who happens to share the same name as her. The unusual arrangement is part of her plan to win the ultimate prize: a luxurious newlywed home.
Jung So-min, who has delivered consistently heartwarming and relatable performances in hit romantic comedies, is expected to once again connect with audiences by portraying Yoo Mary’s mix of grit, vulnerability, and charm.

A Quirky Yet Relatable Heroine
On September 5, the production team unveiled still cuts of Jung So-min in her new role. Among them, one instantly captured fans’ attention: Yoo Mary presenting while wearing a bright red crab mask and gloves. The scene shows her passionately pitching for a crab festival design contract, complete with her trademark smile and enthusiastic energy—an image that perfectly captures her lovable eccentricity.
Another still reveals Yoo Mary in a quieter, more grounded moment—sitting at her small office desk, whispering during a meeting with Myeongsundang representatives, her eyes brimming with determination. The stills highlight both the comedic and heartfelt sides of Yoo Mary, a character who embodies the everyday struggles of small business owners while remaining endlessly endearing.
The creators expressed their confidence in Jung So-min’s casting, saying:
“Jung So-min is truly irreplaceable. She perfectly embodies the realistic yet lovable small business owner Yoo Mary, and we believe viewers will be completely immersed in her performance.”
Featuring a unique premise of a 90-day fake honeymoon and the guaranteed chemistry between Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min, Would You Marry Me is shaping up to be one of the must-watch romantic comedies of the fall season.
The drama will premiere on SBS this October.
