Choi Gyu Ri's Instagram Went From 4 to 6 Digits Because of 'Marry My Husband'
In an interview with a local media outlet, the rookie actress revealed her experience during and after the filming of "Marry My Husband."
According to her, she was very thrilled and honored to be part of the tvN series because she "hasn't appeared in many dramas so far, and none of them exceeded 10 percent," so "Marry My Husband" reaching a double-digit rating was "surprising."
