Love appears for KBS’s Matchmakers Kim Ro-woon and Jo Yi-hyun

More promos have been released as we prepare the wedding bells for KBS’s saguek rom-com The Matchmakers, showcasing leads Kim Ro-woon (Destined With You) and Jo Yi-hyun (All of Us Are Dead) in a new poster and video teaser.

Giving us another peek at our main pair’s backstory, the teaser begins with our widowed prince consort Shim Jung-woo (Kim Ro-woon). Through the captions and helpful voiceovers, we learn that Jung-woo has been trying to get his marriage annulled, frustrated from living an idle and stagnant life.

It’s been eight long years since he was married to the princess. But she shockingly died during their wedding ceremony and Jung-woo has been living in limbo ever since, forced to stay faithful to his late wife and unable to advance his career.

Our heroine Jung Soon-deok (Jo Yi-hyun) was similarly widowed early. However, she finds life fulfillment through a secret side job and becomes infamous in Hanyang as a goddess of matchmaking.

At first, Soon-deok is suspicious of Jung-woo, but the teaser soon reveals why he sought her services. Finally given an opportunity for advancement, King Jo Han-chul (Race) had appointed Jung-woo with a curious but important task: “Professor Maeng’s three daughters must all be married within two months time.”

We then return to our two leads as they work out the terms of their partnership. As their bickering relationship blossoms over the sequence, the stoic Jung-woo tries to assert that, “Love isn’t necessarily needed in marriage.” But Soon-deok disagrees and we end her argument that, “No. Love appears from here and there, and is the start of everything.”

With production led by writer Ha Soo-jin (Sell Your Haunted House) along with PD Hwang Seung-gi (Memorials) and PD Kim Soo-jin (Nineteen Otters), KBS’s The Matchmakers premieres next week on October 30 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.
