Os casamenteiros

Jeong-woo has been living as a widower and in celibacy for eight years after his wife, a princess, died during the wedding. He writes appeals to annul his marriage with the princess, but they never go through. One day, he runs into Soon-duk, a skilled matchmaker, and falls for her. Meanwhile, the King wants to issue a Marriage Ban, only to be met with opposition.

Jeong-woo suggests a way to marry off the crown prince. The King gives him a mission to marry off the three spinsters of Mount Nam Valley, assuring him that the appeal he submitted will be reviewed positively. Jeong-woo asks Soon-duk for help as she's the best matchmaker in Joseon, but she refuses.

Soon-duk decides to work with Jeong-woo and signs a contract. Hwa-rok, the third of the Maeng sisters, and Soon-duk come up with a way to make the sisters get married. Meanwhile, Jeong-woo procures the golden silkworm poison to figure out if the princess was poisoned to death eight years ago.

Soon-duk tirelessly tries to make matches for the sisters and shows off her matchmaking skills. Lady Park, who is bothered by Jeong-woo and his recent mission from the King, decides to make him Geun-seok’s tutor to figure out if he’s someone she can work with her and her faction.

Jeong-woo becomes Geun-seok’s tutor, which puts Soon-duk in a pickle as she has to keep hiding her identity. Soon-duk and Jeong-woo finalize the bachelor candidates for the Maeng sisters. Meanwhile, Lady Park finds out that Soon-duk has been going outside without her permission.
