Marriage: Like a Job Interview

Escaping Unemployment, Oh Ga-eun Finds Herself at the Wrong Interview

Oh Ga-eun, desperate to escape her unemployment, heads to an interview. But... did she sit in the wrong seat?

“Yoon Hye-jin, isn’t it?”
“I’m Oh Ga-eun...?”

It wasn’t a job interview—it was a wife interview!

The man in front of her is the CEO of Joo Shin Retail, Joo Seok-jin. He’s not hiring for a position, he’s looking for a wife.

“I’ll keep this interview to myself,” he says.

Agreeing to keep the secret, Ga-eun leaves. But fate has other plans as they meet again at a vacation spot—using all her savings. And then the news hits.

“How about you become my wife?” he asks.
“Fine, but don’t skimp on the salary,” Ga-eun replies.

Thus begins their contract marriage.

Position: Fake Wife
Role: Daughter-in-law of a chaebol family
Additional Task: Survive the in-laws.

What was supposed to be a simple act to survive as the troublesome third daughter-in-law has her questioning: Why does his gaze seem so genuine?

A contract marriage that started by accident—can feelings remain fake, even when everything else is?
