[Koala’s current mood:
So I have my M3 (Marry Me, Mary! Or Mary Stayed Out All Night) Directors-cut DVD set just waiting for me to give it the proper due, but alas, I need to finish the May dramas and take a deep breath before I can revisit with Mae Ri and Mu Gyul. A few of the added back scenes have been uploaded on Sina so I wanted to bring it to everyone.
After the first episode, I was completely and utterly in love with Mu Gyul+Mae Ri. M3 did something I never thought would happen to me – it made me ship a male lead trope (irresponsible hippie musician with commitment issues) I am allergic to over a male lead type that is my personal catnip (wounded woobie suit-wearing cold repressed businessman).
And no, I will never ever rank this OTP as anything less than #1 in my heart. Another couple has joined them, but they were the first to ever make me RL ship. The GeunGeuns not only ad-libbed some scenes in M3, Seok actually rewrote the ending. The cheek kiss above was his spontaneous add, too. So. Cute.
I have to say – the very instant the video starts, you are immediately transported back to the cold snowy days of M3, the chilliness of reality with shitty parents surrounded by the warmth and confusion of young love finding a soul mate. Guh, I miss Mae Ri and Mu Gyul. I’m also starting to watch the BTS interviews, so if folks want to hear what Moon Geun Young, Jang Geun Seok, and Kim Jae Wook thought about filming M3, let me know and I’ll try to do a post about it.
Cut Scene #1 click here
From episode 1 – Mu Gyul brings ice-cream to his mom’s place and finds her coming home with yet another man. He tries to bunk in his stuffed van but can’t rest comfortably. That explains how he ended up wandering over to Mae Ri’s place to crash. And further explains why he was drunk, looking for liquid warmth when maternal love was so close yet so far away.
We saw Mae Ri walk home for hours because she had no bus money, crying for her mom. Now we see that Mu Gyul was equally as empty that night, yet another mom gesture that meant nothing to her. What I love is that this cut scene is scored to “I Will Promise You”, which we all know was the last song recorded for the M3 OST and didn’t get introduced in the drama until episode 14.
Cut Scene #2 click here
From episode 7 – Mae RI and Mu Gyul discuss how upset Seo Jun is about being deceived. Mu Gyul agrees to call Seo Jun. Mae Ri and Mu Gyul confirm how they are in the same boat, yet they always know they are being candid with one another.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

The geun-geun couple never fails to make me smile. Thanks for this Koala! You are indeed the captain of this ship! I haven't gotten my copy of the MMM D-cut yet. Hopefully next month :D
thanks for the info =) where can i buy/order the dvd set?
It was a limited edition and needed to be pre-ordered and is not available anymore. You can still buy the standard M3 DVD set when, hopefully, YA releases it for the US market.
Is it expensive?
During pre-order, it was around U$150.00 per set.
Hello ockoala!
It's still available for those outside North America in YesAsia: http://www.yesasia.com/global/marry-me-mary-dvd-11-disc-english-subtitled-re-edited-cut-kbs-tv-drama/1024202925-0-0-0-en/info.html
I loved that series, but the plot kinda drove me crazy towards the end. And to be honest after M3 I sorta fell out of loved with JGS. Not because he chose M3, but because of his look, which he's still rockin. I don't know.... it's a turn off. I'm looking forward to My Pet, but the whole David Bowie thing is not working for me.
One point I would like to make about the Directors cut DVD set being available in the US. I don't think the stations in Korea realize how big the US market is for the dramas, variety shows, and entertainment shows. And I'm wondering why things aren't simulcasted or even a few days behind. Sure you can go to MVBIO, but for current shows it's almost 3 weeks behind and you can't even get older or even everything that's airing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that they're missing out on a whole revenue stream.
The...David Bowie thing? *giggles* I'm sorry, but I can't see that at all.
Psssst, the "plot" drove most of us crazy, don't worry.
LOL! When I said David Bowie, I was referring to the androgynous male. I don't find that appealing. At all.
They are the best OTP so far..anything, any news from them can make your day.., so captain .. gimme more (esp. the interviews) coz I only have the standard M3DVD set. Thank you in advance...
ockoala,
If you have time please make a post of the BTS interviews. M3 is my favorite K-drama, and any post is much appreciated.
Sorry but I own the bootleg-style DVD set, from Ranch 99. I wish I had the limited edition set. Yet everyone who borrows it falls in love, who can resist!!
Haha, you quoted me?!? I feel special! *g*
The first deleted scene was awesome. It explains SO much about the two of them! NGL, I wish it had been included in the ep. Anyway, I'm SO glad Mae-ri and Mu-gyul found each other and, finally, found a home.
Great, now I miss them and I feel the urge to rewatch bits of M3 just to see them again. ^^'
Geun-Geun couple is the cutest thing ever...they're adorable....
thanks for sharing captain
GASP...what scenes were ad-libbed by these two adorable kids? I never read anything about that! (I did know that JKS re-wrote the last EP) I literally had tears in my eyes watching these 2 vids you posted, I miss this couple sooo much. And the song just took me back. *sigh* Thanks so much for posting! I'm always happy to read anything you post about the Geun-Geun couple. :)
They have interviews before and they mentioned about some ad-libbed scenes/dialogue they both did. :)
The hug on the couch on ep. 16 and the walking together in the market with a peck on mary's cheek in the end was two of their ad-libbed.. They're just too sweet.. ^_^
"I’m also starting to watch the BTS interviews, so if folks want to hear what Moon Geun Young, Jang Geun Seok, and Kim Jae Wook thought about filming M3, let me know and I’ll try to do a post about it."
please feel free to share whatever you can about M3/GeunGuen couple :]
Yes, I want to know what they said...please, please post the BTS interview!
Thank you Captain, XOXO!
