Would You Marry Me Episode 11 Recap

The episode opens with a tense conversation between Woo-joo and Min-jeong. During their discussion, Woo-joo notices a tattoo on the back of her neck. The sight sends a shock through him as he suddenly realises it matches the mark connected to his parents’ tragic death. Overcome with panic, he experiences an anxiety attack and rushes to Me-ri for support. He explains that Min-jeong may have played a direct role in what happened years ago. Me-ri reassures him and confirms that she once heard Min-jeong used to work at Myungsoondang long ago, which suggests that she and Han-gu had been preparing their fraudulent scheme from the very beginning.

The story then moves to Woo-joo confronting Han-gu about the truth. Han-gu reacts with smug sarcasm, casually admitting his involvement in the incident. He dismisses Woo-joo’s anger by claiming the statutory limitation period has already passed, meaning no legal action can be taken.

As soon as Han-gu steps outside, police officers arrest him for embezzlement. Woo-joo seizes the moment and informs the authorities that Han-gu is responsible for murder as well. He presents dashcam footage revealing Han-gu plotting the crime, recorded on 26 April 2009. This crucial timestamp proves the limitation has not yet expired and still has one week remaining, making prosecution possible.

In court, Han-gu’s confidence collapses when he is sentenced to death. His shock contrasts sharply with Mi-yeon, who breaks down beside her comatose mother, regretting her past decisions and feeling the weight of her guilt. Meanwhile, life at Myungsoondang slowly begins to recover. Grandma Go finally wakes from her coma, and the company regains its proper name and dignity. Me-ri and Woo-joo’s relationship eventually becomes known among their colleagues, although the pair are surprised to learn that everyone already knew but simply decided to let the two figure things out at their own pace.

While Woo-joo and Me-ri find comfort in each other, Me-ri’s ex Wu-ju spirals into despair. He loses work opportunities and repeatedly fails job interviews. His bitterness intensifies as he watches Woo-joo’s life improve, believing Woo-joo is enjoying privileges he does not deserve. At the same time, Jin-gyeong and Sang-hyun grow closer. Sang-hyun opens up about his childhood in an orphanage and how Sang-woo’s family took him in, offering him stability and a new start in life. Jin-gyeong gently lifts his spirits, telling him to smile more and even joking that he should call her once a week for a cheerful laugh.

Eung-soo then faces his father in prison. He reveals that he has known about his father’s affair for years. Han-gu is stunned, realising the son he assumed was simple-minded is actually perceptive, mature and fully aware of the truth. Eung-soo cuts ties with him completely and promises to care for his mother from now on, ensuring she remains emotionally safe. Mi-yeon also takes time to reconcile with Woo-joo, apologising for failing him as an aunt and expressing regret for her past behaviour.

Just as everything appears to be improving, Wu-ju decides to expose the truth about Woo-joo and Me-ri’s fake marriage, which had been carried out under his name to secure the Beaute Palace Department Store. Even though Woo-joo and Me-ri had already confessed to Sang-hyun and planned to move out, Wu-ju’s actions once again tarnish Myungsoondang’s reputation, throwing the family and the business back into turmoil.

Would You Marry Me Episode 11 Review

Woo-joo discovering Min-jeong’s link to his parents’ tragedy feels like a punch to the gut, and the tension only builds from there. Han-gu’s downfall is incredibly satisfying, especially when Woo-joo outsmarts him with the dashcam footage. At the same time, Myungsoondang finally breathes again with Grandma Go waking up and the truth restoring order. There is a lovely balance of relief, heartbreak and personal healing as characters mend old wounds, especially in moments like Mi-yeon crying beside her mother and Eung-soo cutting ties with his corrupt father.

But the episode refuses to end on a calm note. Just as Woo-joo and Me-ri begin enjoying a well deserved moment of happiness, Wu-ju storms back into the story like a walking disaster. His jealousy, frustration and poor decisions set off another chain of chaos that threatens everything Myungsoondang has just regained. Meanwhile, Jin-gyeong and Sang-hyun’s sweet bonding adds a refreshing spark of warmth among the darkness.
