Not Park Min-young, This Actress Benefits the Most from “Marry My Husband” 

It is no exaggeration to say that “Marry My Husband” has “saved” Park Min-young’s career, which took heavy hits from controversies surrounding the actress’s ex-boyfriend. The hit K-drama also brought more attention than ever to actors Na In-woo, Lee Yi-kyung, and Song Ha-yoon, who never got the chance to truly shine despite their great efforts in the acting industry. 

However, when it comes to the person who benefited the most from the fame of “Marry My Husband”, Choi Gyu-ri would be the name to mention.

In the drama, Choi Gyu-ri assumes the role of Yoo Hee-yeon, the younger sister of the male lead and also a kind-hearted colleague who supports the female lead. Unlike the colorful performance of the main couple, Choi Gyu-ri stole the hearts of the audience with her vivacious and humorous personality. She is praised for bringing Hee-yeon from the webtoon version of “Marry My Husband” to life, perfect in appearance, demeanor, smile, and acting.

In a recent interview with the South Korean media, Choi Gyu-ri revealed her experience during and after filming “Marry My Husband”. She couldn’t hide her joy and honor at being part of this television series because until now, she had never appeared in a drama with a rating exceeding 10%. 

“I didn’t know it could be this hot,” said the actress, who also added that the TV drama market is very picky nowadays, as not all viewers like watching TV.

According to the actress, her social media has attracted a huge following since “Marry My Husband” aired. 

In particular, Choi Gyu-ri only had 2,000 Instagram followers initially, but this number has since grown by 113 times, surpassing 226,000. It is also known that most of these followers are foreigners.
