Episode 7 of Would You Marry Me takes us deeper into the emotional maze that’s been quietly forming between Kim Woo-joo and Yoo Me-ri. What started as a lighthearted contract marriage drama now blossoms into something more heartfelt and mature. This episode doesn’t just serve as another step in their pretend relationship—it marks the point where truth, vulnerability, and genuine love begin to surface.
In this episode, Woo-joo faces his past and present colliding when his family unexpectedly appears, forcing him to confront the lies that have surrounded his so-called “marriage.” Me-ri, still unaware of Woo-joo’s true identity as the heir to a prestigious bakery company, finds herself falling deeper for the man she was supposed to pretend to love. When she finally discovers the truth—that Woo-joo was her childhood connection “Miso” and that their paths were destined long before the fake marriage began—her heart shatters in confusion.
The episode beautifully balances tension and tenderness. A late-night street food scene, filled with laughter and matching couple outfits, captures their growing closeness. But just when everything feels perfect, reality intrudes Me-ri’s discovery of Woo-joo’s hidden identity pushes her to distance herself. The climax unfolds as she prepares to leave everything behind, only to be stopped by Woo-joo’s desperate confession and a kiss that changes everything.
Episode 7 is a game-changer for both leads. Woo-joo’s emotional depth shines as he breaks his usual charm to reveal a scarred man afraid of losing someone again. His vulnerability adds rawness to the story, turning him from a playful contract partner into a man deeply in love. Me-ri, meanwhile, shows growth and complexity as she grapples with betrayal, affection, and the fear of history repeating itself.
The secondary couple, Jin-gyeong and Sang-hyun, also bring subtle humor and warmth to the episode. Their awkward but honest interactions add texture to the main story, giving the overall tone a slice-of-life realism that grounds the romance.
This episode stands out for its emotional maturity. The fake marriage trope—often played for comedy—takes a poignant turn here. The dialogue and direction allow us to feel both the hesitation and the yearning between the leads. The childhood connection reveal, though familiar, is executed with sincerity and heart. The final sequence, where Woo-joo’s confession breaks through Me-ri’s walls, feels earned, emotional, and beautifully cinematic.
Would You Marry Me Episode 7 is easily one of the most emotionally charged episodes so far. It transitions the drama from lighthearted romance into heartfelt storytelling.
