Written and Video Preview for Episode 11 of Marry Him If You Dare
It’s sad the writing for Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) has been confusing and lackluster. It’s not bad, per se, just oddly jarring and premised on keeping the audience in the dark as to motivations. I actually think the characters are all well constructed, but the development of the characters have taken a back seat to future Mi Rae’s machinations and the mystery behind what tanked Mi Rae and Shin’s marriage down the road. I fear that the lack of rom or com in this supposed rom-com will continue until the very end, leaving the audience with a story but no well-earned satisfaction. Who’s going to care that all the problems have been resolved when the characters haven’t won our hearts. I’ve loved Lee Dong Gun and his Kim Shin from the outset, but I’ve grown quite fond of Se Joo and Jung Yong Hwa‘s performance in the last few episodes. He’s settled into the role and there is now a relaxed delivery and less self-conscious emoting and dialogue reading. His scenes with grandma Miranda are the best and do most to showcase his improvement as an actor. And he has improved, not by leaps and bounds, by a very solid step forward. I also love his scenes with Yoo Kyung, and I have faith those two will end up together and it’ll be satisfying to watch. I am concerned about the conflict between Shin and Se Joo which takes on duel layers of being romantic rivals and different style colleagues at work. Except Se Joo is the boss (soon), and Shin has to either pick his heart or his future. Looks like he picks his heart at the end of episode 10 when he announces to the team that he likes Mi Rae, which leaves me curious how Mi Rae will respond. Will she continue being true to her heart like she said to Shin earlier? Will Se Joo start to look into what Yoo Kyung means to him and what he really feels for Mi Rae? I think MHIYD has lots of room for great narrative development in the remaining six-episodes, I’m just fingers-crossed it’ll deliver. For now, let’s enjoy some gorgeous pictures of the two male leads. When Shin puts his hair down he seriously looks like Se Joo’s identical but older brother. LOL if there’s a birth secret twist in this drama with the two guys.
This is a rather spoilery pic from the campfire confession scene. Looks like Mi Rae may have run off rather than give her answer since Shin appears to be staring after something.
Written preview:
“I like this man who makes me change!”
Mi Rae uses the opportunity to disguise herself and infiltrate the bar making the counterfeit alcohol. Mi Rae uses the filming technique learned from Se Joo to start capturing footage, but she soon runs into trouble with the manager.
On the other hand, Mi Rae tells Oppa that she wants to have courage to achieve her goals. After saying what he feels and announcing that he likes Mi Rae, Shin regains his confidence. Oppa calls Shin out and tells him what he has been concealing from Shin…..

Miss koala can i suggest u watch heartstrings too ?? Yonghwa isnt bad there i promise … he is way better thn yab and perphaps u ll like him there … its a good rom com sweet one .
Umm i dont think so…. I think thats why koala doesnt like yonghwa’s acting because of these 2 dramas. 🙂 im glad though she is somewhat little by little fond of his acting now
Heartstrings was pretty bad and so was he. He’s better here so no, she should skip it.
Pretty bad ?????? For u but for me its my most fav korean rom com ever
I love Heartstrings! I certainly like Park Shin Hye better in that drama than in Heirs.
Heart strings was cute fun teenage romance … yes park shin hye charac was awsome there … yonghwa was goood . How was he bad ??he was better thn average I suggest u watch befr judging .
Fyi …heartstrngs is secnd most watched drama aftr bof in dramafever …. and its the drama tht will remain in the hearts forever
@shinhyefan
im a huge yonghwa fan and i adore shinhye, i watch all his dramas but most of the boices acknowledged that hearstrings execution of script is not good but as a a fan of course we took hearstrings is golden in our heart especially all the hardships that the casts endured that time. yonghwa almost never sleep during that timeline, he just finished we got married, he just finished inkigayo mc, he just finished night after night mc, he promoted intuition in all broadcasting company, the writer/director left in the middle of filming, cnblue is preparing the major debut in japan, he composes numerous songs during that filming. that of course for me hearstrings is precious but NO, he wasnt that good. ive seen bts of yonghwa photoshoot in this drama and i saw him trying to open his eyes, probably one of the reasons why i think he lacks in acting in this drama
we got married fan?
Haha wat r u sating ?? Yonghwa loves his drama more thn any one in the world . He said it himself in an interview . Taxi . He said that ppl may find his drama lacking but he himself thinks highly of his drama and thats enuf for me . He prep for a month for this drama . He was free at tht time .. wat do u mean trying to open his eyes at the bts ??? Perphaps it was early morning ? Lol . Let me tel u tht i saw the bts of photoshoot of his new drama marry him if u dare and there was photowall of actors and drama pics .. he saw his heartstrngs charac leeshin pic and pointed at him . I cant undr korean but he talked abt it and anyone can tel tht he talked abt it proudly . If u r tru boice u wud kno tht yong loves his charac leeshin .up till this day
…..good day to u
Oh god please NO
Based from the stills looks like mirae will finally say no to sejoo. Hopefully it happen. The writer should stop dragging the love triangle its not working anymore, its already been dead. 6 eps left and still so many unanswered questions. And please show some sejoo and yookyung flahbook too. And agree with u koala, yonghwa said he enjoyed filming the most with miranda maybe thats why its most entertaining to watch
I mean flashback LOL its hard to reply in cellphone
Omg! I know everyone keeps saying LDG and JYH have similar looks but I never saw it. I see it now. They could be brothers – I would so buy it. With DG’s hair down he looks like an older version of YH. I’m so amused I never saw this earlier lol.
I’ve dropped MC around ep 7 because God knows Ive tried liking both miraes and it has been pretty impossible. I wish we had more scenes of the second leads together. Maybe if this ends well for them, I’ll return.
I noticed a long time ago that they look like brothers and they are both in the same agency too.
Their similar looks still confuses me. I have to stop the MV and really focus on who I’m looking at when it segways into another scene. I was wondering if it was just me having that problem.
I seriously hope this ends the love triangle for good. It’s been dead most of the drama, but now everyone needs to accept it and figure out what’s next.
I love Se Jo, Yookyung and i’ve even grown a bit fond of Kim Shin but i can’t handle this writer going in full circles around the romance between Kim Shin and Mirae…She’s making me dislike present Mirae so much. I want to drop this but i want to see how Yookyung and SeJoo will end, writer is making it hard for me to stay with SeJoo still going after Mirae in the teaser of episode 11.
Ends the love triangle please!!! and star with the main leads romance we are in 10 episode without a kiss is inexplicable for a drama of yoon eun hye.All peolple are wainting for this, doesn’t matters if all the jung yong hwa’s fans dies of anger. We need a amazing kiss and romance between yoon eun hye and lee dong gun I wonder if the writers are keepimg back the romance to not disturb the crazy fans
LOL. You make it sound as if all Seju-Mirae supporters are only JYH fans. I’m a fan and I’m dying to see him fall in love with Yukyung and get out of that Kim Shin-Mirae-Seju tangle.
that’s it .you are a jyh’s fan , you just want that your idol looks good and that’s all . I like the drama , all the actors in this . maybe I disagree with the writers they need improve the romance because they are writting a rom_com !!!
Hahahaha im a huge yonghwa fan and i have many friends who also yonghwa fan but they dont care to main otp, they begging to start the second couple story. They only staying in this drama because of the second leads, without them they already drop this drama
drop this drama please all of you crazy fans!!. the world will be the same wiyhout crazy jyh fans and maybe the drama improves
Yonghwa fan here. Honestly, I’m only watching this now for the second lead OTP, I really like YooKyung’s character and I don’t want SeJoo to end up with MiRae.. And I’m warming up to Shin’s character now but I just can’t stand Mirae’s character, I don’t even want Shin to end up with someone like that :s So far her present and future self really suck lol.
And from what I’ve seen in the forums most YH fans are are cheering for SJ+YK.
you don’t want sejoo ends with mirae because if this drama were well written that won’t happend .but we don’t know maybe crazy korean fans are in the same possition like you . because they can’t permit jyh looks like a looser they forget that in a drama he’s not jyh is an actor .
@Maria What are you talking about? I’m not being sarcastic I’m utterly confused.. and did you just call me a crazy fan? o.O
No, I don’t want him to end up with Mirae not because I don’t want him to look like a looser but because his side story with YooKyuong is far more interesting than with Mirae. You have to admit that there are plenty flaws in Mirae’s character. I’m a fan of Yonghwa, yes but I’m also a fan of EunHye (I’ve mentioned this in previous recaps too) and I just can’t stand that she had to play this type of character. Also, I’m not a biased fan since I started watching this I knew he was second lead and I’ve enjoyed watching LDG (he is quite the eye candy) but his character had a lot of flaws and it hasn’t been until the last couple of episodes that we are getting to see a deeper side of him, before that he just kept looking like an egotistical asshole who would throw water at a girl and curse at whoever disagreed with him. People cheering for the second leads has nothing to do with them being fangirls but there was/is a serious lack of development in the story line between the main leads, which might also be the reason for the low ratings. Again, I’m just talking about their characters and story not about the actors, Eun Hye and Dong Gun are senior actors that are beyond Yonghwa’s acting experience and he is lucky to have gotten a chance to work with both, I even read a MHIYD staff account that YH had been following LDG a lot even staying for the filming of scenes that he wasn’t part of just to observe their acting.
Anyway seriously, this type of comments are just getting old. The fangirls moved on already, how about you people do too, and let’s all try to enjoy what is left of the drama instead of accusing everyone of being a crazy fangirl just because they see the flaws with the story?
Thank you.
@maria Stop throwing the word “crazy” around. Not everyone who doesn’t share the same preference as you is crazy and you know what? You sound so butthurt, so chill.
@Les
Eh, Shin threw water in episode 2 and hasn’t cursed in I don’t even remember how many episodes? Shin has had a lot of depth the whole drama, starting early in the drama with the story about his father. Did you skip most of his scenes or something? Actually the last couple of episodes have been the worst in character growth for nearly every character other than YK so I seriously don’t know what you are talking about. When you say things like that I can’t take you seriously.
@melissa He threw water at her, he gets mad at whoever contradicts him or curses them out, he threw a tantrum when he saw her at SeJoo’s confession and didn’t even let her talk, then kind of insulted her during his argument with SeJoo. I get it that there is more to him and slowly we are getting the “sweet” gestures of him but so far it’s been more negative than positive, maybe the writer does want us to cheer for FMR as to why she shouldn’t marry Shin? I don’t know, I just find SeJoo and YooKyung’s story more tragic because they are like the third party victims, that had nothing to do with the original couple but their love story got interrupted because Mirae was unhappy with hers, thus my reason for cheering for them.
No, I haven’t skipped any scenes and you don’t have to take my opinion seriously if you don’t want to, it is merely my opinion but you should at least respect someone else’s right to have an opinion and not just dismiss them as fangirls. I have not disrespected any of the four actors and whatever I have commented on has been solely based on the story/characters.
crazy fans , this drama has two good actors yoon eun hye and lee dong gun, doesn’t matter what happens with jyh , he’s learning to act in this drama he doesn’t deserve second male lead, but is an idol . that’s why crazy fans don’t apreciate the whole work of the actors like a team they just want their idol look good .No matter that how bad he acts . Give thanks that he’s acting with two great actors and his improving day a day .
Ummm excuse me, since when and where are the comments that we are bashing the actors and actress itself? My gosh we are talking about the characters.
I think you’re comment pertains to you. Talking about other fans’ bashing? Where? Look at what you just did. We are talking about the drama and the characters but you’re the one who keeps on making this personal here. Just stop.
So you are blaming Jung Yong Hwa and his fans and him being an idol for the lack of appreciation/ratings for this drama? That’s some serious yet baseless accusation you know. Why don’t you start looking at the merits of the drama and each character before starting on the blame game as a fan of YEH and LDG. JYH fans are supporting this drama as much as you do, we judge the story and the character as they are portrayed in the drama. Stop making personal attacks on Jung Yong Hwa just because you are not a fan.
This drama will be more interesting if the OTP works on their problems so they can change their future together. Obviously they still love each other. Na Mirae and Se Joo scenes are so boring and I’m sure I’m not the only one who skipped them. The only reason I’m still watching is Yoo Kyung.
Funny because I feel like Yonghwa’s 2 intimate scenes with Mirae showed his best acting so far. XD
Anyway, praying for a Seju X Yookyung kiss scene/(s)….
In the early start of the drama they were fun to watch, but after his confession and her obvious rejection it’s been same old, same old. Whatever little romantic chemistry they had is gone.
I know that they have to have workplace drama, like the fake wine stakeout, but I wish the writers would spend more time working on the romance angle of the show. Let’s see some kisses!
I cannot believe that as a YEH fan, I’ve decided to drop the drama. I heard she was offered SECRET and she refused it. This writer is driving me nuts and I cannot stand future Mirae. I hope YEH chooses better next time.
jung yonghwa oozing with charisma~ ~ ~
A great cast lined up with a weak written script..what more can i say..such a waste..Im so mad at the writer and the PD now..i love all 4 leads..i doubt this drama written by the same person that wrote K2h..myb her magic is gone…with 6 eps left.im no longer put my hope too high..it made me sad.. TT
True. This is such a SOLID cast. The delivery and acting is great but too bad they had to work on a weak material like this.
I’m liking the shenanigans of the show precisely because romance isn’t ruining it. There is conflict and are flawed characters, centered by a female lead who is struggling to have a sense of self. Her indecisiveness, lack of confidence and clarity about her profession (her fake alcohol story approach was so silly and oppa rightly castigates her for her inability to think through how she should be working on a tv segment but blind, protective sejoo comes to her rescue. Damn!). If Mi Rae present runs into Shin’s open arms, there isn’t anything much left. I don’t want all that mushiness if not well earned. Let these two stand up and become strong individuals by themselves and then the romance will be worth it.
Seejoo and Yookung are very sorted out when it comes to their professions. He knows what it takes (infact he puts Shin’s high-mindedness and at times ignorant approach in their places coolly reminding him of the priorities of a tv station. Its he who comes up with the subway broadcast idea, who leads Mi Rae with the fake alcohol story and his perky talks with his grandma (which are the best, they seem to have more chemistry!)). Yookung is smart but disguises herself as an airhead at times because she knows if that is what gets her ahead in her profession, she better follow the rules. I’m not saying these two are perfect individuals, ofcourse both can bring out better changes in their professional lives by initiating positive changes and decisions , however difficult the path, but they are not complete sell-outs either. Seejoo will protect his business, he is astute and welcoming of good ideas. Yookung as well .
If Seejoo and Yookung work it out, and if Shin and Mirae get together knowing about the future and accepting changes which Shin so readily does (his driving off , after the ghost house broadcast), there will be just 2 episodes more..which will be a damp squib of an end.
I don’t care if there are no bedroom scenes and kisses galore, let these be individuals worth liking and worth forging relationships with, then it’ll be worth it all.
Finally…. a word of praise for jung yong hwa ahahahaha
Thank you for being objective miss koala
And yes in this drama YH’s acting is better than two others..
Happy happy ^^
It’s going to be so poignant when Shin finds out ahjumma is really his beloved Mi Rae. I feel sad just thinking of the confrontation, or should I call it reconciliation? I hope the writer writes a really worthy scene befitting the amazing acting caliber of these two fine actors.
I like future Kim shim looking for fmirae and having a reconcilation . But the writers maybe bring fsejoo jajaja.
I love this drama , sometimes make me feel a little disappointed because I like more romance between main actors ( Kim shim and Mi rae ), they have an amazing chemistry but is not worked by the writters. I don’t feel the same for the second leads maybe in the next episodes ,in any case I don’t care about the second leads , sorry jyh fans he improves a lot , my heart is always with yoon eun hye even more when the writters don’t made a better use of all her charisma and acting skills , she made a wonderfull drama with kang ji hwan with nothing . low ratings in korea but amazing in the web and other countries .Queen of romance , queen of the kiss and we don’t have a good kiss scence at this point I don’t say that a kiss is the most important in a drama , but please more romance because this is a rom com even in Missing you ,we have a lot of romance between YEH and PYC more tears but the love scenes were beautiful and you can support all the pain of watch yoon eun hye criying all the time the same for park yoo chun. At this point the ratings doesn’t matter they can improve the low rating very dificult, but give the viewers and amazing drama that we can treasure like Lie to me .
Roto/Maria.. Oh I get it, you are accusing YH fans of doing the same thing that you are doing right now as a EH fan. How ironic, and I don’t even think you realize it. How about we all just respect all four actors and their fans, and just focus on the characters and their story lines?
I don’t understand why these fans of YEH and LDG are personally attacking JYH now? Like seriously, accusing his fans of being crazy? For what? Supporting him earnestly even if he’s just second lead? If they don’t care about his character and only cares about the leads, then that’s fine but why the need to personally attack the actor? What they’re doing says a lot about them.
maybe fnc ent. same agencie’s of jung yonghwa and lee donggun worked for this drama is for lee donggun comeback whose been hiatus for 5 years and be supported by jung yonghwa who is known as right hand of their company sadly jyh fans also miss him for 2 years in hiatus being a lead
You fans that are making personal attacks on actors here are crazier than the fans you are accusing of being crazy. Seriously. @sofi @cklare @roto practice what you preach.
@lexie, umm lexie are u accusing me of starting this war???? Im shocked with ur comment. Im sorry but english is not my first languange. I cannot believe im misinterpreted just becoz i didnt explain if further *scratches head* then I APOLOGIZE TO YEH, LDG and JYH fans. If u have seen my comment i never mention the name of yeh and ldg, i only said i dont care to main otp just becoz their character is going in circle for me that im confused with them after several episodes thats why i give up. Mirae cant be straight with her feelings with 2 guys, shin at first throws water at her then the next he is sweet to her then next he is temperamental. I dont see being personal there and me bashing someone. Look at Les she did say she is watching this becoz of second lead and she love yookyung though she is explain it further rather than mine …… I cannot believe i started this war *shakes head* i apologize again for the fans here and ms koala. I try to be more responsible with my comment
Huh? I never replied to any of your comments. I’m talking about fans personally attacking JYH. Please read carefully.
Ah ok, thats a relief. Anyway if i offended anyone. I apologize
Who’s attacking jyh ? the true is that he’s not a good actor , he’s learning how to act.maybe he’s more comfortable like a singer and composer , this is a reality and he knows better that anyone .This should not offend anyone, he continues to be a great singer. He has to work hard and take it more seriously if he wants to be an actor . It doesn’t mean that he’s a good person and very charismatic is just a one critical to his work , he’s improving but needs work harder.
I don’t think mi rae’s brother let her answer shim . Oppa probably send her to sleep and all the team too . party is over .
park se joo~~~~~
LISTEN TO YOUR MOM (THE FUTURE MI RAE), HOW COULD SHE BE WRONG? DAMP LDG!!!
I am thinking that LDG & JYH might be secret brothers & lost grandson
of Miranda… Hopefully that there will be a good twist that makes the
viewers get more excited to watch this drama… But whatever it is I still
love this drama cause my favorite actress YEH & one of my favorite Korean
male actor LDG & JYH is there too!… Thanks!.
