'Would You Marry Me' Heats Up: Choi Woo-shik Subdues Jung So-min's Menacing Ex
Uju Marry MeChoi Woo-shik steps in to restrain Jung So-min's threatening ex, played by Seo Beom-jun.

SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Would You Marry Me", written by Lee Hana and directed by Song Hyun-wook and Hwang In-hyuk, follows a pair who enter a 90-day sham newlywed arrangement to keep a luxury newlywed home prize. The series has been firing on all cylinders with crackling chemistry and a breezy, dopamine-spiking pace.

In Episode 8, Kim Woo-joo (Choi) and Yoo Me-ri (Jung) finally own up to their feelings and kick off a sweet romance―until Me-ri's ex-fiance, also named Kim Woo-joo (Seo), crashes the moment and sneers that their newlywed life was all for show, instantly raising the stakes.

Ahead of the Nov. 7 broadcast, new stills tease a taut face-off outside the townhouse as Woo-joo, Me-ri and the namesake ex square up. Me-ri's gaze turns icy as she locks eyes with him, and in another shot the ex and Me-ri trade barbs as sparks fly.

The final still shows Woo-joo grabbing the ex's wrist, his fury barely contained―an explosive standoff ready to blow at any second. All eyes are on what unfolds in this late-night three-way confrontation on the townhouse grounds.

Can Woo-joo and Me-ri protect their love as the ex's threats escalate? Anticipation for "Would You Marry Me"'s next chapter is peaking.

Episode 9 airs Nov. 7 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
