The first episode of "Marry Him If You Dare" was literally Yoon Eun Hye's "one man show". Curly hair and no makeup along with a variety of facial expressions were enough to capture the attention of viewers from the first episode.

In the first episode of KBS2's new Monday/Tuesday drama "Marry Him If You Dare" (Script: Hong Jin Ah, Director Kwon Gae Hong) the relationships between main characters such as Na Mirae (played by Yoon Eun Hye), a contract employee of a call center.

Mirae who lives now in 2013 had secretly dreamt of being a writer for a broadcasting company while dealing with difficult customers at a call center. Then one day, she meets her future self, big Mirae (played by Choi Myung Gil) who comes from 2038.

Big Mirae gains her trust by telling her secret childhood memories that she fully knows about. In the end, Big Mirae even tells Mirae how to win first place at the company sporting event and goes on a trip together to Jeju Island using a 4 night 5 day getaway that Mirae wins.

Big Mirae explicitly tells Mirae that her purpose of returning to the past is to "change my life." With Big Mirae's encouragement, Mirae has the courage to take a step forward and quit her job at the call center.

Lee Dong Gun who has returned to acting after five years plays the role of Kim Shin, the executive director of YBS. He marries Mirae but this is also part of why Big Mirae returns to the past, and thus adds to the mystery of the stories that lie ahead.

It was foreshadowed that Big Mirae returned to marry not Kim Shin but new VJ Park Se Ju (played by Jung Yong Hwa) who is the grandson of YBS yet attempts to get hired under a fake entity. As Big Mirae returned to change her life this way, a love triangle between Na Mirae, Kim Shin and Park Se Ju is foreshadowed.

During the first episode, Yoon Eun Hye showed her lovable character built through romantic comedies such as "Princess Hours," "The Man of the Vineyard," and "Coffee Prince" to satisfaction.

She had no problem showing resilience in a tough reality and showed extremes as an actress with her dancing and cursing.

Moreover, with "time slip" as a unique theme, the A list supporting actors and actresses Choi Myung Gil, Ko Doo Shim and Oh Jung Se were enough to capture the audience's attention.

This drama also received the baton from the hit series "Good Doctor" and it is a pretty lucky situation because other dramas MBC's "Goddess of Fire" and SBS's "The Mystery Housemaid" are not doing as well as expected.

Whether "Marry Him If You Dare" will rise to the top of Monday/Tuesday dramas with rom-com queen Yoon Eun Hye's acting will be something to watch for.
