Actor Choi Woo Shik is once again proving why he’s one of the most trusted names in romantic comedies.

His new SBS drama Would You Marry Me, which premiered on October 10, has already received a warm response from viewers who praised it as “a realistic and well-balanced rom-com.”

In the series, Choi Woo Shik plays Kim Woo Joo, the only son of a famous confectionery family. He suddenly ends up in a fake marriage with Yoo Merry (played by Jung So Min) as they try to win a luxury newlywed home through a prize event. Though the setup sounds comedic, Choi brings a mix of humor and heart that keeps viewers deeply engaged.

In the first two episodes, Choi effortlessly switched between funny and emotional moments — from hilarious street mishaps to tender hospital scenes — perfectly capturing the everyday warmth and chaos of love. His precise timing, expressive delivery, and strong chemistry with Jung So Min earned high praise online.

Fans took to social media to share their reactions, saying, “Choi Woo Shik’s comic acting is amazing,” and “His chemistry with Jung So Min is crazy good.” Others added, “Kim Woo Joo feels so real and lovable — it’s impossible not to root for him.”

Choi’s portrayal goes beyond typical rom-com charm. He turns Kim Woo Joo into a character full of sincerity and emotional depth, showing the subtle warmth of an ordinary man caught in extraordinary circumstances.

After proving his versatility in projects like Parasite, Our Beloved Summer, and A Killer Paradox, Choi Woo Shik once again shines as a master of emotional storytelling. Viewers are now eager to see how Kim Woo Joo’s fake marriage — and his growing feelings — will unfold in the episodes ahead.
