Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 48 /100

Critical reception for Would You Marry Me? is largely lukewarm to disappointed, with viewers expressing frustration over the show's weak writing and overreliance on tired tropes. While the premise initially promised a fun, lighthearted romance built around a fake marriage, many reviewers felt the narrative quickly collapsed under dumb plotlines, cliché character arcs, and poorly resolved conflict.

The cast—particularly leads Jung So-min and Choi Woo-shik—was frequently cited as the drama's main saving grace. Several critics noted that the actors' individual charm kept them watching despite the script's shortcomings. However, opinions were split on their dynamic, with some finding their chemistry lacking, while others felt the writing simply failed to give their talents proper material to work with.

“What started as a fun cliche rom-com, ended up as a dumpster fire of convenient resolutions and dumb plotlines with close to zero proper development.”

“The writing is so weak that even the actors’ talent can’t save it.”

“The two leads are the saving grace... I finished the drama solely because of them.”

“I seriously admire Me Ri for having the clarity to see her future, and choose to call off the wedding in the present...”
