Watch: Rowoon Is Taken Aback By Cho Yi Hyun In “The Matchmakers” Teaser

Oct 11, 2023

KBS2’s upcoming historical drama “The Matchmakers”

“The Matchmakers” tells the story of the meeting between the young widower Shim Jung Woo (Rowoon) and young widow Jung Soon Deok (Cho Yi Hyun) as well as the struggle the two go through together to marry off Joseon era’s unmarried women and men who are considered older than the typical prime age range.

Although Shim Jung Woo is the son-in-law of the king and a royal secret inspector, his hopes of entering the government or marriage have been cut off after becoming a widower. As his reason for filing an appeal to annul his marriage for the eighth year, Shim Jung Woo explains, “The reason I am filing an appeal for the annulment of marriage with the princess is because the fact that I cannot enter the government is the greatest waste of resources in Joseon.”

The teaser previews Shim Jung Woo dressed in wedding attire as Jung Soon Deok narrates, “If you entered the wedding hall with the princess, you cannot take that back.” However, during the ceremony, the princess suddenly collapses, hinting at the tragedy that occurs. Shim Jung Woo argues, “I will never be a son-in-law of the king who cannot enter the government!” Jung Soon Deok, who transforms into the goddess of matchmaking Mrs. Yeo Joo (Cho Yi Hyun), remarks, “Isn’t it terribly rude for a man to pathetically claim for annulment of marriage?”

When Jung Soon Deok touches Shim Jung Woo’s cheek, Shim Jung Woo exclaims, “Even if you’re a merchant who hasn’t been educated, how can you touch a strange man’s neck!” Jung Soon Deok asks Shim Jung Woo if he has fallen for her, to which Shim Jung Woo can’t finish answering due to a sudden bout of hiccups.

Check out the teaser below!

“The Matchmakers” will premiere on October 30 at 9:45 p.m. KST and will be available on Dramacool. Stay tuned!
