Choi Woo-shik ♥ Jung So-min‘s post-marriage romance... ‘Space Marry Me’ to be aired on SBS in the second half of the year [Official]

‘Romance geniuses’ Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min have met.

SBS’s new drama ‘Space Marry Me (produced by Samhwa Networks, Studio S)‘, scheduled to air in the second half of 2025, is a sweet and chewy 90-day fake newlywed survival romantic comedy about a man and a woman who try to win the ultimate newlywed house prize. ’Space Marry Me‘, which has become SBS‘s second-half romance drama, has confirmed casting Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min as the leads.

First, Choi Woo-shik plays ‘Kim Woo-joo’, the fourth-generation heir and promising marketing team leader of Myeongsundang, the first bakery in Korea with an 80-year tradition. Kim Woo-joo, a narcissistic, T-type human with a single-minded determination to lead Myeongsoondang in place of his dead father, becomes entangled in a business relationship with designer Yu Mary of a partner company, and even ends up becoming her fake husband.

Choi Woo-shik has presented immersive, realistic and empathetic acting in works of all genres, including the dramas ‘That Year, Us’, ‘The Murderer’, and the movie ‘Parasite’. In particular, in ‘That Year, Us’, he took on the role of building illustrator ‘Choi Woong’, capturing the hearts of women with his delicate emotional line and warm visuals, and leading the youth romantic comedy craze. Accordingly, expectations are rising as to whether Choi Woo-shik will be able to create another romantic comedy that will change the paradigm of romance with a story of pre-marriage and post-love, ’Marry Me Woo‘.

Jung So-min plays ’Marry Me Yoo, an eccentric and fiery livelihood designer who finds a fake husband in order to protect the luxury townhouse prize, a special privilege for newlyweds. After experiencing life’s ordeals such as a broken engagement due to her fiancé‘s infidelity and a scam to rent out her new home, she is a bride-to-be on the edge of a cliff who proposes to Kim Woo-joo, who has the same name as her ex-fiancé, in order to protect the newlywed home she won after the broken engagement.

Jung So-min is an actress who is loved by the public for her diverse acting in dramas such as ‘Mom’s Friend‘s Son’, ‘Hwanhon’, and ‘Because This is My First Life’. In particular, in ‘Mom’s Friend‘s Son’, she established herself as a true romantic comedy goddess by drawing viewers’ immersion with her sweet romance with her male friend. Accordingly, expectations are rising for the lovely charm that Jung So-min will display in ’Marry Me in Space‘, where she will play the shameless and bubbly ’You Mary‘, who risks her life to protect her newlywed home. At the same time, attention is focused on what kind of chemistry Jung So-min, who is usually known as a chemistry fairy, will show with her co-star Choi Woo-shik as a fake newlywed couple.

The new SBS drama ‘Marry Me’, which is garnering much attention due to the meeting of Choi Woo-shik and Jung So-min, will air in the second half of 2025.
