SBS’ Would You Marry Me? dropped a turning point on October 18, 2025, tying its leads Kim Woo-joo (Choi Woo-shik) and Yoo Me-ri (Jung So-min) through a forgotten past. Episode 4 confirmed that Me-ri, unknowingly, once comforted Woo-joo as a child after he lost his parents, giving him a teddy bear. It’s a gesture that became the emotional root of their adult connection.Woo-joo had known this all along. The revelation comes full circle when he spots a childhood photo of Me-ri inside her mother’s wallet, confirming what he discovered much earlier. In a flashback, the show reveals he had already recognized her the night Me-ri got drunk in the motel. He had seen the same childhood picture inside her trolley bag. From that moment, he knew she was the girl who once gave him hope.Since then, Woo-joo kept the truth to himself. His quiet composure and effortless chemistry in their fake marriage weren’t accidental. Every act of care, every gentle gesture, was intentional. He was pretending to be just a “fake husband,” but his actions hinted at deeper feelings, an affection built years before they ever met again."True no one expected this plot twist," an X user commented.Many remarked that no one had anticipated this outcome, calling it completely "unexpected."ellie @324saintsLINKthe reveal was so unexpected,,, welcome back REAL romcomSunnie @Jenny1760010722LINKTotally didn’t expect that loved it.monochromeais @karpetmerah05LINKthats why hes suddenly invested in this “fake marriage” play 😌😌🫢 didnt see that coming tbhOthers say they now understand why Woo-joo agreed to the fake marriage and suddenly became cooperative, calling it "cute."WENDY SOLO CON | SAW PEB 🐰 @chevroleeetttLINKWhen the wedding photoshoot happened, i was like, why is he being so cooperative all of a sudden?
