Would You Marry Me? runs on a single high-stakes lie: two people who barely know each other must convince a house inspector, repeatedly over 90 days, that they are a genuinely married couple. The countdown gives the comedy its shape, with each episode carrying the pressure of that shrinking window and the very real consequence of losing a home.
Living together while pretending to be in love produces a specific kind of friction, the kind that comes from negotiating shared space, shared routines, and a shared story that neither person fully believes yet. Seoul provides the backdrop, but the drama stays mostly domestic, playing out in the small performances and slips that come with keeping up an act inside your own front door.
