Would You Marry Me- (Final) Episodes 11-12
Episode 11: Fresh Start
Episode 11 kicks off with a tense and emotional flashback of Woo-joo visiting Jessica in prison. After promising to protect Henry, Jessica finally reveals where Woo-joo can find the evidence to bring Han-gu down. But as Woo-joo leaves the visitor room, he notices a birthmark on her neck, suddenly, memories of his parents’ accident flood back, and he has a panic attack. Thankfully, Me-ri finds him and comforts him, showing once again how much they support each other through chaos.
Me-ri pieces things together too, realizing that Jessica used to work at Myunsoondang and that she and Han-gu have likely been scheming together longer than anyone thought. Meanwhile, Woo-joo tracks down the evidence at Jessica’s house and confronts Han-gu, only for Han-gu to mock him, claiming the statute of limitations protects him. But the tables quickly turn: police are waiting for Han-gu outside, ready to charge him with fraud and embezzlement, and with the dashcam evidence, Woo-joo is even able to add conspiracy to murder charges. Justice is served, and Han-gu faces the ultimate penalty.
Mi-yeon is left reeling as she confronts the truth about Han-gu’s actions, spending much of her time in tears while Pil-nyeon remains in a coma. Woo-joo, finally able to breathe a little easier, takes Me-ri to his parents’ graves, introducing her and feeling like he’s finally honoring their memory. The couple makes promises to each other, vowing love and happiness, while Sang-hyun reflects on Jin-gyeong’s advice, quietly observing their honesty and relief after confessing about the house.
Pil-nyeon eventually wakes from her coma, bringing immense joy to her family. Woo-joo excitedly calls Me-ri with the good news, and Mi-yeon apologizes to him, touched by his genuine concern, and promises to recover the money Han-gu stole.
Later, the team gathers at Won-suk’s house, and of course, the group can’t resist playing truth or dare to see if Me-ri and Woo-joo will reveal their relationship. They eventually hug and admit their feelings, and everyone is thrilled for the couple. Meanwhile, Eun-song officially cuts ties with Han-gu in prison and commits to being there for Mi-yeon.
The story also checks in with Sang-hyun, who says a quiet goodbye to his orphanage and revisits memories of his childhood hardships, including being falsely accused of stealing. Jin-gyeong joins him and, in a mix of tenderness and flirtation, promises to keep him laughing even while he’s away.
As for Woo-ju, he’s still struggling with professional rejection and jealousy. One night, drunk and bitter, he trespasses at Me-ri’s house, only to see her happy with Woo-joo. Meanwhile, Woo-joo is just the boyfriend we all wish we had: cooking breakfast, driving her to work, and making it clear he wants to care for her every step of the way.
Of course, Woo-ju isn’t done causing trouble. He emails the media and sets up a press conference to expose Woo-joo, making the tension spike once again. Me-ri warns Woo-joo, and he immediately turns back to protect her, leaving the episode on a dramatic cliffhanger as Woo-ju starts his press conference.
Episode 12: The Triumph of Love
Episode 12 kicks off with Sang-hyun buried in some confidential documents, his mind buzzing with what Sung-woo’s dad told him. Sure enough, Sung-woo stops by, expecting Sang-hyun to take the fall for his shady dealings, but Sang-hyun has already made up his mind. He calmly agrees to shoulder the blame, even asking if they were ever really friends, to which Sung-woo confidently lies “yes.” Classic Sung-woo.
Sang-hyun serves time for Beaute’s corrupt deals, but he’s not alone. He keeps in touch with Jin-gyeong through letters, and once he’s free, she invites him as her date to Woo-joo and Me-ri’s wedding. Justice and loyalty all wrapped up in one story arc.
And what about our least favorite ex, Woo-ju? Turns out his press conference was never real, it was just him practicing at home. When he tries to go live with his claims about the raffle, Sung-woo’s legal team swoops in, threatening to sue if he even breathes a word about Beaute. No one bothers to fact-check him, and to make matters worse, Sung-woo gifts the house to Me-ri, essentially putting an end to Woo-ju’s schemes. At the press conference, Woo-ju expects Me-ri to save him, but she calmly sets him straight, telling him to stop obsessing over the past. Finally, closure and Woo-ju decides to focus on himself. Good riddance.
Meanwhile, Me-ri and Woo-joo finally get a moment of relief. Woo-joo plans for Me-ri to meet Pil-nyeon and confess the truth about their mistakes, but before they can, Woo-ju’s mom and sister try to sabotage them by spinning lies to Pil-nyeon. Predictably, Pil-nyeon hesitates, which makes Me-ri anxious and insecure. Even so, Woo-joo reassures her, doing everything he can to keep her calm.
Eventually, Pil-nyeon sends Mi-yeon and Eung-soo to meet Me-ri’s family, helping everyone realize they may have judged her too quickly. With that, Pil-nyeon gives Woo-joo her blessing and even a proposal ring. Naturally, Woo-joo proposes, and Me-ri says yes without a second thought. Later, she meets Pil-nyeon to promise she’ll do better in the future.
As for the company, Woo-joo takes over Myunsoondang while Eung-soo decides to launch his own game company, everything falling into place professionally and personally.
The series wraps up on a high note: Woo-joo and Me-ri walk down the aisle together, with Sang-hyun as Jin-gyeong’s date, tying up the story with a beautiful and happy ending. We don’t get to see Sang-hyun and Jin-gyeong’s dating era, but we can imagine it’s filled with lots of fun and smiles.
DramaZen's Opinion
Wow, Episodes 11 and 12 really delivered the emotional rollercoaster we were waiting for! Watching Woo-joo finally uncover the truth about Han-gu and get justice for his parents was so satisfying, finally, all that tension pays off. Me-ri and Woo-joo’s relationship continues to melt hearts, from their quiet, sweet moments to the big proposal scene, it’s the kind of love story that makes you swoon.
Seeing Pil-nyeon wake up and give her blessing, along with Sang-hyun and Jin-gyeong getting a little closure of their own, wrapped up the series beautifully. Even Woo-ju’s antics were handled perfectly, closure without dragging the story down.
Honestly, it was the perfect mix of romance, drama, and satisfying resolutions. I’m just so happy for Woo-joo and Me-ri, they earned every bit of their happy ending!
