SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Merry Wedding' is winning hearts with Choi Woo-shik's portrayal of Kim Woo-joo, a character with a 'tough exterior but warm interior'.

From a surprise kiss in a photo studio to a heartwarming act of cleaning spilled side dishes on the street, Woo-joo's actions are becoming major talking points.

His unexpected kiss with Mary (Jung So-min) while pretending to be a married couple sent viewers' heart rates soaring. While outwardly maintaining their pretense, hints of genuine emotion flickered.

The 'Woo-joo effect' truly exploded when Mary's mother accidentally spilled side dishes. Without hesitation, Woo-joo knelt down to clean them up, and then accompanied Mary to the terminal, offering comfort and a bus ticket.

Viewers gushed, 'I wish a man like this existed in reality,' as Woo-joo, who initially drew a line, showed his caring side behind the scenes.

The narrative deepens with the revelation of Woo-joo and Mary's fated connection from childhood. Choi Woo-shik masterfully completes the drama's emotional core with his restrained gaze and nuanced expressions, solidifying his role as an 'emotional healer' who delivers laughter, romance, and comfort.

Netizens are raving, with comments like 'Choi Woo-shik's acting is amazing, I'm falling for his tsundere charm,' 'I suspected it, but the childhood connection is real! The drama's immersion is top-notch,' and 'I wish there was a man like Kim Woo-joo in real life.'
