Kim Young-min and Baek Ji-won are set to play a married couple in the upcoming SBS drama 'Wooju Marry Me,' premiering on October 10. The drama follows a sweet yet fierce 90-day fake marriage between two individuals vying to win a luxurious newlywed home, starring Choi Woo-shik as Kim Woo-ju and Jung So-min as Yoo Mary, raising anticipation among fans.
Choi Woo-shik takes on the role of Kim Woo-ju, the flawless heir to 'Myungsundang,' Korea's first bakery. The unveiling of Woo-ju's family has piqued interest.
Jung Ae-ri transforms into Go Pil-nyeon, Woo-ju's grandmother and the chairwoman of Myungsundang. Pil-nyeon is a competent entrepreneur who built Korea's first bakery and calls Woo-ju back from the U.S. to groom him as her successor. Jung Ae-ri's striking transformation with short white hair and glasses is drawing attention, heightening expectations for her charismatic portrayal and chemistry with her grandson, Choi Woo-shik.
Kim Young-min, known for his versatile roles in 'Queen of Tears,' 'Crash Landing on You,' and 'The World of the Married,' plays Jang Han-gu, Woo-ju's uncle-in-law and a director at Myungsundang, adding tension to the plot. As the chief officer overseeing finance and HR, Han-gu is well-regarded within the company but harbors a mysterious side. Curiosity grows about what secrets Han-gu might be hiding.
Baek Ji-won takes on the role of Kim Mi-yeon, Woo-ju's carefree aunt, promising to bring lively humor to the series. Mi-yeon actively promotes her son Eung-soo as a successor candidate to Pil-nyeon and worries about him being overshadowed by Woo-ju's return from the U.S. Baek Ji-won, known for her strong presence in 'The Fiery Priest' and 'The Great Show,' is expected to shine in 'Wooju Marry Me.'
Ko Gun-han, who made a mark as a scene-stealer in 'My Perfect Secretary,' plays Jang Eung-soo, Woo-ju's cousin and the head of Myungsundang's management team. Eung-soo, who repeatedly fails at projects, sees Woo-ju as a rival, setting the stage for comedic rivalry. The sibling-like chemistry between Woo-ju and Eung-soo as they compete for the successor position is highly anticipated.
As Choi Woo-shik transforms into the bakery heir, viewers are eager to see if he can secure his place as Myungsundang's successor, with the intense rivalry for the position adding to the intrigue.
