Why “Marry YOU” Is The Best Rom-Com Of The Moment
A Refreshing Lead Couple Pairing

Forced into working together by the mayor’s ambitious re-election campaign, their journey begins with a clash of personalities and full of misunderstanding.
Bong Chul Hee, juggling his role standing up as the parent of his adorable twin niece and nephew, initially resists Jung Ha Na’s offer to make him the face of the ‘Marriage Morale Boost’ team. Meanwhile, Ha Na is reluctant about her assigned job and sees it as a necessary step for her to get promoted and leave the team as soon as possible. However, as they clear the misunderstandings, Chul Hee agrees to be part of the “Marriage Morale” team, and the two are now working together in the city to find him a life partner!

Theme of Marriage
“Marry YOU” may revolve around the concept of marriage, but it delves much deeper than the surface. The drama emphasizes that marriage isn’t something to rush into—it’s not as simple as just picking someone and tying the knot. Instead, it’s a lifelong commitment that requires thoughtful consideration and mutual compatibility.
Through characters like Bong Chul Hee, who hesitates before signing up for the project, the drama presents diverse perspectives on finding love. Each story highlights that compatibility and genuine connection are at the heart of building a lasting relationship.
