Disney+ Hit 'Woojoo's Merry Me' Enters Second Act with Global Acclaim

SBS's 'Woojoo's Merry Me' is taking the world by storm, topping Disney+ worldwide charts and captivating audiences both domestically and globally. As the series reaches its midpoint, the second act promises even more excitement. Choi Woo-shik's character makes a bold confession to Jung So-min's character, who is married on paper, drawing attention to the future of their romance.

The romantic comedy 'Woojoo's Merry Me' follows two individuals in a 90-day fake marriage to win a luxurious newlywed home. The chemistry between Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min delivers a delightful and heartwarming experience.

In last week's episode, Kim Woo-joo (played by Choi Woo-shik) realized his feelings for Yoo Merry (played by Jung So-min) and made a straightforward confession, raising viewers' heart rates. Jealous of Merry's care for her ex-fiancé Kim Woo-joo (played by Seo Beom-jun), Woo-joo confessed, "I must like Merry. I don't like seeing her with another man." The appearance of Merry's ex-husband Kim Woo-joo and the villainous actions of Woo-joo's uncle Jang Han-goo (played by Kim Young-min) pose significant obstacles to their budding romance, heightening the tension.

With its fiery romance and rising popularity, 'Woojoo's Merry Me' continues to climb in ratings and global interest. As of October 27, the show topped the Disney+ TV show worldwide chart on FlixPatrol, a global OTT platform ranking site. The sixth episode reached a peak viewership rating of 9.7%, and the 2049 target demographic rating hit a record 2.3%, securing its position as the leading Friday-Saturday drama.

As 'Woojoo's Merry Me' opens its second act, several key points promise to make the latter half even more intriguing.

First, Woo-joo's newfound awareness of his love for Merry leads to his fearless pursuit. Discovering that Merry is his childhood first love, Woo-joo becomes deeply involved in their fake marriage, showcasing his charming and sincere nature. As Woo-joo expresses his feelings, viewers eagerly anticipate Merry's response and the development of their fake marriage romance.

The tension is further heightened by Merry's legal husband and ex-fiancé, who is bound to discover their fake marriage. His presence adds suspense to Woo-joo and Merry's romance and Merry's quest to secure the newlywed home.

Additionally, the revelation of Woo-joo's uncle Han-goo's true nature adds to the suspense. Han-goo is responsible for the death of Woo-joo's parents and is currently embezzling funds from Myungsoondang. With no family members aware of Han-goo's sinister actions, the impact of his villainy on the story remains a source of tension.

Finally, the question remains whether Woo-joo and Merry can protect their love and secure the newlywed home. After being scammed, Merry sees the 'newlywed home prize' as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, leading to the start of their 90-day fake marriage with Woo-joo's help. Viewers are eager to see what choices Woo-joo and Merry will make, with twists and turns expected until the very end.

'Woojoo's Merry Me' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
