Choi Woo-shik & Jung So-min Deliver a Heartfelt Finale With a Ring and a Promise
SBS weekend drama “Would You Marry Me?” wrapped up its 12-episode run with a beautifully crafted happy ending. What began as a fake marriage built on necessity slowly transformed into an authentic romance, strengthened through misunderstandings, scandals, and fierce family opposition. The finale ties their journey together with touching emotional clarity.
🌿 “Would You Marry Me?” Episode 12 — A Failed Press Conference That Changes Everything
Woo-joo (Seo Beom-jun), who fueled much of the early conflict, attempted to expose Me-ri and Kim Woo-joo’s staged marriage through a press conference.
But Botte Department Store’s swift legal response shut down the plan before it could spark. With defamation charges looming, Woo-joo regretted his actions and reached out to Me-ri for help, though the moment had already slipped away.
Making matters worse, his family confronted Ko Pil-nyeon directly with Me-ri’s past, creating deeper emotional wounds.
Me-ri misread the situation, believing Pil-nyeon strongly opposed her relationship with Kim Woo-joo. Miscommunication slowly widened the distance between the couple.
🌿 Pil-nyeon’s True Feelings Revealed in Would You Marry Me
Pil-nyeon’s real intentions, however, were far from disapproval.
Kim Woo-joo’s sincerity and gentle sense of responsibility eventually moved her. Instead of rejecting them, Pil-nyeon chose to accept the couple.
She handed Kim Woo-joo the family’s symbolic jade ring, a gesture containing three quiet messages:
- approval of their relationship,
- recognition of him as the next family pillar,
- and a blessing for their future.
The ring marked the emotional turning point of the finale.
🌿 The Jade Ring Proposal That Defines Would You Marry Me’s Finale
Carrying the jade ring, Kim Woo-joo proposed to Me-ri with honest, unembellished sincerity.
Me-ri accepted without hesitation — a moment that fully transformed their “fake marriage” narrative into a real love story.
They decided to postpone the wedding for the time being.
With Woo-joo stepping into the company’s leadership, both chose trust and stability over rushing forward.
This pause strengthened their relationship rather than slowing it down.
🌿 Families Collide and Heal in Would You Marry Me Episode 12
Woo-joo’s mother and sister tried to interfere until the end, only to be confronted by Me-ri’s mother, who firmly defended her daughter.
Her genuine warmth left a strong impression on Pil-nyeon’s household, helping reshape the dynamics between the two families.
Meanwhile, Baek Sang-hyun found his own emotional resolution.
Encouraged by Yoon Jin-kyung’s honesty, he chose to step away from Lee Sung-woo’s schemes and take responsibility for his actions. Their quiet connection added gentle warmth to the final episodes.
🌿 One Year Later — The Outdoor Wedding That Completes “Would You Marry Me?”
A year later, Kim Woo-joo and Me-ri finally held their outdoor small wedding, surrounded by the people who had been part of their journey.
The ceremony intercut memories of their first meeting, difficult breaks, and growing affection — creating a soft, lingering emotional payoff.
Me-ri reflected,
“I wasn’t waiting for luck. I was waiting for someone who could love me as I am.”
Kim Woo-joo replied,
“Maybe all those wandering years were simply the road leading me to you.”
Their words captured the heart of the entire drama: a love shaped not by convenience or timing, but by quiet destiny.
🌿 Ratings Peak as Would You Marry Me Ends Strong

Jung So-min brought life, charm, and emotional nuance to Me-ri, completing the perfect blend.
Their scenes together — the spontaneous kiss, the cactus breakdown, the reed-field moment — became instant fan favorites across social media.
