## Premise

The drama centers on a matchmaking scheme. Bong Cheol-Hee is a bachelor who lives on an island, where he raises his twin nephew Bong San-Yi and niece Bong Ba-Da by himself. Although a warm-hearted and versatile worker, he has given up the thought of marriage because of his situation.<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/index.php?title=Marry_You_%28Korean_Drama%29)</sup>

Jung Ha-Na is a single civil servant who chooses to stay single, but after an incident she is transferred to the Marriage Morale Boost Team (결혼사기진작팀), a unit formed to send Bong Cheol-Hee off to marriage. She is tasked with getting him to marry, and if she succeeds she is promised a transfer to another department.<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/index.php?title=Marry_You_%28Korean_Drama%29)</sup> Promotional material describes the show as a comedic family drama about a couple caught between opposing views on marriage.<sup>[5](https://blog.kocowa.com/marry-you-coming-tomorrow-on-kocowa/)</sup>

## Production and broadcast notes

The series was written by Ri-Na and directed by Hwang Kyeong-Seong, and produced by Green Snake Media (초록뱀미디어) with One Entertainment.<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/index.php?title=Marry_You_%28Korean_Drama%29)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://enews.imbc.com/News/RetrieveNewsInfo/438254)</sup> A press conference held online on November 15, 2024 was attended by Lee Yi-kyung, Jo Soo-min, Koo Jun-hoe, Ji E Suu, and director Hwang Kyung-sung.<sup>[5](https://blog.kocowa.com/marry-you-coming-tomorrow-on-kocowa/)</sup>

The broadcast schedule was disrupted by national news: episode 7, originally set for Saturday December 7, was pre-empted due to coverage of the South Korean presidential impeachment situation and aired on Sunday December 8 instead, with episodes 7 and 8 running consecutively that day; episode 9, set for Saturday December 14, likewise moved to Sunday December 15.<sup>[1](https://asianwiki.com/index.php?title=Marry_You_%28Korean_Drama%29)</sup>

In interviews at the time of the premiere, Lee Yi-kyung described the character as a warm Chungcheong-do local; he rejected the costume department's outfits in favor of a worn-out jumper and apron, added unscripted dialect lines as ad-libs, and gained weight from the 60-kg range to 75 kg within one or two weeks for the role.<sup>[7](https://www.donga.com/news/Culture/article/all/20241121/130470280/2)</sup> Jo Soo-min noted the contrast with her earlier well-known role in *The Penthouse*, in which she played a tough, deceitful character.<sup>[7](https://www.donga.com/news/Culture/article/all/20241121/130470280/2)</sup>

## Story development

Early episodes follow the Marriage Morale Boost Team's first matchmaking attempts. Episode 3, subtitled "The Grades the World Gives," introduces Oh In-A, who applies to the project despite Ha-Na's objection to matching across class lines; Cheol-Hee's answer that he wants "a person rich in heart" leads Ha-Na to question the value of the world's grading.<sup>[3](https://enews.imbc.com/News/RetrieveNewsInfo/438254)</sup> Episode 8 ended with Cheol-Hee's confession and the couple's first kiss, while the team's first prospective couple broke off their engagement over differing emotional codes, costing Ha-Na another chance to escape the team.<sup>[8](https://www.osen.co.kr/article/G1112470611)</sup> The final episode, which aired December 15, 2024, revealed the real reason Mayor Lim had established the new team.<sup>[9](https://www.mk.co.kr/en/broadcasting-service/11195132)</sup>
