Lee Yi-kyung will show a completely different side of herself in Channel A‘s new weekend drama ‘Marry You’ (written by Lina/directed by Hwang Kyung-sung/produced by Chorokbaem Media, Won Entertainment).

‘Marry You’, which is scheduled to premiere on November 16th, is a comedic family drama about a couple matching comedy between single and married couples about single civil servant ‘Jung Ha-na’, who struggles to get island bachelor ‘Bong Cheol-hee’ married in order to escape the marriage fraud team.

The 4th teaser for ‘Marry You’, released on the 17th, brought to mind the story’s main message, eliciting understanding and empathy from viewers. By dealing with the potentially heavy topic of single life and marriage in a bright and cheerful manner, it has raised expectations for ‘Marry YOU’.

The video that was released this time begins with Jo Soo-min (Jung Ha-na) asking, “Why don‘t you plan on getting married when you have a stable job?”. Lee Yi-kyung (Bong Cheol-hee) calmly replies, “I don’t have time to worry about marriage or anything. I‘m busy”. “I have someone I’m dating, but I think this level of relationship is just right”, “Do you own a house? This continues with realistic voices worrying about marriage, such as, “Are you living in a rented house?” and at this time, Jo Soo-min appears again and says, “Living alone is the answer.”

Woo Hyeon (as Mayor Lim) then appears, refuting Jo Soo-min’s words by saying, “So, wouldn’t it be great if we could just get them married?” Lee Yi-kyung, who thinks his dream is to marry a woman who loves even his ugly appearance, Seo Ji-seok (as Ji-seok) who dreams of a married life where they can trust each other, and Son So-mang (as Young-eun) whose ideal type is someone he is comfortable with. Each person’s answer to the question, “What is marriage to me?” flows out. The story of these people struggling between being single and getting married immediately captures the attention of viewers.

Lastly, Lee Yi-kyung, who was reminiscent of a gangster in the previous teaser, is nowhere to be found, and he is depicted as having transformed 180 degrees into a hot guy. ‘Marry YOU’, which symbolically captures the colorful characters and the storyline of the drama in a short teaser video, will be first aired on November 16th at 7:50 PM.
