[Star News | [Reporter Seong-yeol Yoon]

‘Marry My Husband’ broke its own highest viewer ratings. Lead actor Park Min-young was embroiled in controversy over her private life with her ex-lover, but it did not have a significant impact on viewership ratings.

According to viewership rating research company Nielsen Korea on the 16th, the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Marry My Husband’, which aired on the 15th (written by Shin Yu-dam, directed by Park Won-guk and Han Jin-seon, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by DK E&M) The viewer ratings for the 5th episode recorded an average of 8.0% and a high of 8.6% for households in the metropolitan area, and an average of 7.4% and a high of 8.1% for households nationwide, ranking first in the same time slot on all channels. The average viewer rating in the metropolitan area broke its own record (based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite).

The topicality was also high. According to Good Data Corporation, a K-content competitiveness research agency, ‘Marry My Husband’ ranked first for two consecutive weeks in the TV-OTT integrated drama topicality survey (2nd week of January). Compared to the previous week, topicality increased by more than 50%, widening the gap with second place. Park Min-young also took the top spot in the most talked about performer category for two consecutive weeks.

On this day’s broadcast, the heart of Yoo Ji-hyuk (played by Na In-woo), who had been raised alone without Kang Ji-won (played by Park Min-young), captured the hearts of viewers.

The real first meeting with Yoo Ji-hyuk, which Kang Ji-won does not remember, was revealed. Yoo Ji-hyuk saved Kang Ji-won, who was drunk in college and almost ended up in a dangerous situation. The two people, who had never seen each other in person, spent the night opening up about their family history and concerns that they couldn’t tell anyone. However, Kang Ji-won did not remember Yoo Ji-hyuk at all, and only Yoo Ji-hyuk looked at Kang Ji-won from afar.

The place where the two met again was at the company. Yoo Ji-hyuk recognized Kang Ji-won at first sight, but Kang Ji-won did not recognize him as expected. In addition, seeing Kang Ji-won spending a sweet time with Park Min-hwan (played by Lee Yi-kyung) made him feel sad and give up his feelings. And Yoo Ji-hyuk, who opened his eyes again in the second episode of his life, said, “But this time it’s different,”and predicted that he would head straight for Kang Ji-won.

Just like his decision, Yoo Ji-hyuk appeared at the company with a completely different appearance and received the attention of employees. Park Min-hwan was suspicious when he saw Yoo Ji-hyuk, who appeared in a cool appearance, talking to Kang Ji-won, and when Kang Ji-won could not contact him after work, he came to the neighborhood and started an argument and threatened him. Kang Ji-won, who was cornered, escaped the crisis with the help of Yoo Ji-hyuk, who suddenly appeared.

Kang Ji-won, who thought that Yoo Ji-hyuk’s behavior was because he had feelings for her, expressed his discomfort and said that he would tell Yoo Hee-yeon (Choi Gyu-ri) the whole truth. In response, Yoo Ji-hyuk called Yoo Hee-yeon to prove that they were her siblings and not just a couple, and Kang Ji-won felt helpless about how sorry she was. However, Yoo Ji-hyuk said that there were some things that were not misunderstood, and he confessed, “I like you a lot,”finally marking the beginning of a full-fledged romance.

Meanwhile, Jeong Soo-min (played by Song Ha-yoon) persistently begged and pressured Kang Ji-won to include her in the meal kit plan. To make matters worse, Manager Kim Kyung-wook (played by Kim Jung-hee) faced another crisis when he tried to insert his name into Kang Ji-won’s plan and revealed his intention to steal it. It raises questions about whether Kang Ji-won will be able to keep his meal kit plan and pioneer the destiny of his corporate life.
