‘The Matchmakers’ Cast

Rowoon is set to embrace the character of Shim Jung Woo, the widowed son-in-law of the king. His exceptional intelligence led him to become the youngest individual to successfully clear the Civil Service Exam. However, fate takes a cruel turn when he loses his chance for higher social status and future marital prospects after the sudden demise of the princess who intended to be his bride during their wedding ceremony.

On the other hand, Cho Yi Hyun will bring to life the character of Jung Soon Deok, the second daughter-in-law of the first vice-premier's family. She leads a double life as Mrs. Yeo Joo, renowned as the top matchmaker in Hanyang City.
