Spoiler-light recaps — enough to remember where you left off, nothing that ruins the ride.

EP 01

The Wedding Win

October 10, 2025

Yoo Me-ri’s world collapses days before her wedding when she catches fiancé Kim Woo-ju cheating, and ends things on the spot despite an active housing loan tied to both their names. A follow-up rental search turns into a textbook scam that leaves her homeless and broke. Jung So-min plays the freefall with just enough deadpan exhaustion to keep it from tipping into melodrama — and then, in pure rom-com logic, she wins a luxury townhouse in a department store raffle, with one brutal catch: she has to prove she’s married.

EP 02

The Husband Audition

October 11, 2025

Enter the other Kim Woo-joo — Choi Woo-shik playing a bakery heir freshly saddled with a company he never wanted, after a childhood accident he survived and his parents didn’t. A mistaken-identity run-in is enough to put two strangers in the same room, and a lawsuit threat talks him into one afternoon as her “husband.” The award-ceremony scramble, complete with a fake encephalitis phone call, is the funniest stretch yet and sets the tone: these two improvise well together.

EP 03

The 90-Day Deal

October 17, 2025

The real terms of the prize land hard: 90 days of cohabitation, with inspectors watching. Woo-joo balks at first, until his bakery’s own packaging lawsuit ties his fate to Me-ri’s design firm anyway. Moving into the townhouse under the suspicious gaze of neighbor Jang Eung-soo gives the show its first real “fake newlyweds” comedy engine — equal parts performance anxiety and accidental domesticity.

EP 04

Cracks of the Heart

October 18, 2025

Quiet breakfast scenes do a lot of work here — small, ordinary moments that start cracking both leads’ guarded exteriors. Me-ri opens up about the rental scam that broke her, and Woo-joo’s reaction is the first sign this isn’t just an act for him either. A rooftop conversation where she proposes they “actually get to know each other” instead of rushing is the episode’s quiet centerpiece, while Uncle Han-gu’s pointed comment about a car accident plants a darker thread for later.

EP 05

The Ex Returns

October 24, 2025

Me-ri’s ex resurfaces uninvited, and the same-name coincidence that started this whole scheme nearly blows up in a hallway run-in with her coworker Sang-hyun. Bae Na-ra’s Sang-hyun is a fun complication — sharp enough to sense something’s off, easily redirected once Me-ri commits to the bit. The episode closes on Woo-joo’s birthday, which doubles as the anniversary of his parents’ death, a tonal pivot the show handles better than expected.

EP 06

The Teddy Bear Promise

October 25, 2025

Woo-joo’s realization that Me-ri is the only person who’s genuinely cried for him lands as the show’s first unguarded emotional beat, and Choi Woo-shik plays it without overselling it. Gift exchanges and near-misses with Sang-hyun keep the comedy ticking along, but the episode’s real business is the confession — a flat, nervous “I like you” that stuns Me-ri into silence. A small moment, played exactly right.

EP 07

Grandma’s Watchful Eyes

October 31, 2025

Meeting Woo-joo’s grandmother shifts something in Me-ri — watching how fiercely the old woman loves her grandson makes the fake marriage feel like something worth protecting for real. Jung Ae-ri brings warmth without softness; this grandmother notices everything. Meanwhile, Jang Eung-soo’s invitation to “verify” their marriage at his company tightens the screws just as the feelings underneath the deception stop being fake.

EP 08

Honest Confessions

November 1, 2025

Outside pressure keeps mounting, but the best material here is private — Me-ri admitting her fear of being betrayed again, and Woo-joo refusing to flinch from it. The ex-fiancé’s schemes start visibly falling apart in the background, which the show wisely treats as a footnote rather than a cliffhanger. What lands instead is two people choosing honesty over performance, the whole point of a contract-marriage plot once it’s actually working.

EP 09

The Scandal Spreads

November 7, 2025

The fake marriage rumor finally escapes containment, and the fallout from Me-ri’s original rental scam resurfaces alongside it, tying two threads together in a way that finally gives Sang-hyun’s arc somewhere to go. The pacing slows on purpose here, letting Me-ri and Woo-joo’s relationship breathe before the finale stretch. A bridge episode, and a competent one.

EP 10

The Grandmother’s Ring

November 8, 2025

Grandmother finds out exactly how Me-ri won the house, and the sting of being lied to, even with good intentions, lands harder than the show’s lighter episodes prepared us for. Woo-joo’s response is the episode’s best swing: he already knew, he’d been in on it for a while, and he proposes anyway with his grandmother’s own ring. Jung Ae-ri’s eventual, warm acceptance of Me-ri closes the loop on the show’s most emotionally honest relationship.

EP 11

The Press Conference Trap

November 14, 2025

After a brief separation, Me-ri and Woo-joo come back fighting for each other rather than against the truth, a welcome change from the genre’s usual last-minute miscommunication arc. The ex-fiancé’s ultimatum, threatening to expose the fake marriage at a press conference, is a blunt instrument of a plot device, but Seo Bum-june plays the petty desperation well. The episode ends on the setup for a finale that’s been signaled since episode one.

EP 12

Real Vows, Real Love

November 15, 2025

The press conference threat deflates almost as soon as it arrives, which won’t surprise anyone — this was always building toward a wedding, not a scandal. Me-ri’s last conversation with her ex is the show’s cleanest piece of writing, letting her close that chapter on her own terms. What follows is the payoff the whole season earned: a real proposal, a real “yes,” and a real wedding for two people who started this as strangers wearing each other’s worst memories.

Full spoilers ahead — everything that happens in the finale and what it all means.

The Press Conference Unravels. The finale’s chaos drains away as fast as it built up — authorities cut off the ex-fiancé’s press conference before he’s said a single word, and he’s revealed to have been alone in a hallway, just rehearsing the speech he was too afraid to actually deliver. It’s a deflated villain moment by design: the threat was never going to land, because the man making it had already lost.

Letting Go, On Her Own Terms. Me-ri gets the conversation she never had the first time around — telling her ex directly to move on, without anger, without needing his permission to do it. It’s the cleanest piece of writing in the finale, handing her the closure the rest of the series spent withholding from her.

A Proposal Without a Contract. Woo-joo’s second proposal carries none of the panic of the first one. There’s no townhouse on the line this time, no inspectors to fool — just two people who built something real out of a scheme that should have stayed fake. Me-ri’s “yes” lands as the show’s most earned moment, precisely because the show made her wait for it.

The Bakery and the CEO Title. Woo-joo steps fully into the role he spent the whole series avoiding, taking over as CEO of his grandmother’s company — not because the family forced his hand, but because he’s finally ready to claim the legacy on his own terms, with Me-ri beside him instead of a secret he’s keeping from her.

Sang-hyun’s Reckoning. The colleague who spent the season half-suspecting, half-enabling the lie doesn’t get off clean. Sang-hyun’s involvement in the broader scandal catches up with him, and his arc closes on a prison sentence — a small but pointed reminder that the show was never just about cute deception, it had real consequences for the people who weaponized it.

What the House Was Really For. The townhouse that started this whole scheme stops mattering by the finale, and that’s the point. It was never the goal; it was the accident that forced two strangers into proximity long enough to actually fall for each other. The show quietly retires its own premise once it’s done its job.

One Year Later. The epilogue is generous to nearly everyone. Me-ri’s mother’s small shop, struggling for most of the series, finally finds success. Old friendships are restored. The officer who risked her own position to help Me-ri gets a warm, deserved welcome back into their lives. It’s a tidy ending, but it earns the tidiness.

The Real Wedding. The garden wedding that closes the series is staged as the mirror image of the fake one that opened it — same instinct to perform happiness, except this time nothing about it is for show. The marriage was fake. What they built inside it wasn’t.
