Why You Should Watch “Marry You?”

In “Marry You,” Lee Yi Kyung promises to bring even more laughter as he steps into the shoes of Bong Chul Hee, a bachelor who doesn’t put much thought into his appearance because he’s too busy doing odd jobs around the island and raising his twin nieces alone. As the island’s favorite local, Chul Hee becomes the focus of the mayor’s ambitious re-election plan—by promoting marriage, starting with the village’s beloved bachelor! With the help of civil servants like Jung Ha Na, the goal is to get Bong Chul Hee married, hoping this will encourage others to follow.
