Arguably The Most Awkward K-Drama Bed Scene Ever Made
Park Min Young is facing backlash over a cringy scene in the K-Drama Marry My Husband.
The controversy began with episode 2, which ended on a painfully awkward “bedroom” moment between Park Min Young’s character Ji Won and her husband Min Hwan, played by Lee Yi Kyung.
Min Hwan tries to seduce Ji Won in the shower but ends up pinning her to the bed—with his bad breath turning her off. The scene’s awkwardness peaks when he drops his towel, and Ji Won screams in horror.
The moment was meant to be funny, hinting that Ji Won’s cheating best friend, played by Song Ha Yoon, will show up at any second. But many viewers found it uncomfortable and believe it crosses into nonconsensual territory, despite the comedic intent.
Marry My Husband follows Ji Won, a sick woman who wakes up 10 years in the past to seek revenge after her husband cheats and her friend betrays her. Park Min Young plays Ji Won, Lee Yi Kyung is her unfaithful husband, Na In Woo is her new love interest, and Song Ha Yoon is her cheating best friend.
The awkward shower scene has gone viral online, sparking mixed reactions — some laughed, others cringed hard.
Here’s the scene in full cringe mode:
The scene left many questioning the show’s handling of serious issues through awkward comedy.
Fans and critics are watching closely as Marry My Husband continues.
“He eventually pins her to the bed, where his bad breath even more puts her off. While his seduction techniques may have worked before, Ji Won now knows the truth and reacts accordingly.”
