The Woman Who Wants to Marry

These days, there seem to be just too many single working women in their 30s. These women have spent all their years accomplishing their dream and now stand all alone. They turn to men now, hoping to settle down, but all the fine guys have been snatched away by young girls who were only concerned about getting married. Now they try to fall into self-hypnotism that they are better off than being trapped in an unhappy marriage, but they can't help feeling all alone and lonely. "Marry Me" is a story of how women in their thirties come to face life and discover something new about their lives. 30-year-old spinster reporter Sin Young was once called a "troublemaker reporter", but she clenched her teeth and kept digging into her work. Soon Ae, a 30-year-old stewardess, is the breadwinner of her family who supports her ailing father, an utterly hopeless widow aunt and another hopeless cousin. Seung Ri is renowned for her numerous love affairs.
