Oh Yu-Ra is Ji-Hyeok’s ex-fiance. She is the Vice President of Cloud Airlines, who also comes from a chaebol’s family.

In Episode 7 of Marry My Husband, there was a brief mention of Yu-Ra via U&K Group’s Chairman (aka Ji-Hyeok’s grandfather), Yoo Han-Il (Moon Sung-Geun). In their conversation, Ji-Hyeok asks his grandfather:

“Grandpa, you want me to marry Yu-Ra?”

The Chairman answers:

“How can I force you to make my wish come true? I know from the beginning that you and Yu-Ra had no feelings for each other. But there’s still a promise, right?”

Well, in Marry My Husband Episode 11, the audience finally sees Yu-Ra as she arrives unannounced outside of Ji-Hyeok’s apartment complex. She sees Ji-Hyeok and Ji-Won holding hands (but props to Ji-Hyeok for not letting Ji-Won’s hand go!) and introduces herself.

She tells Ji-Won:

“Hello. I’m Yu Ji-Hyeok’s fiance. Wait… ex-fiance, I guess? Since he called off the engagement. I didn’t know it was because he had a woman.”

This revelation shocks Ji-Won and is sure to bring lots of tears and confrontational scenes in the next episode.

Is Oh Yu-Ra in Marry My Husband Novel or Webtoon?

Oh Yu-Ra’s character is not in the webtoon. But she is in the novel.

It is said that Yu-Ra shared a childhood with Ji-Hyeok since they grew up as neighbors. All throughout the years, she had unreciprocated feelings toward Ji-Hyeok. It was also said that their mothers planned the two to get married when they were older.

Despite not reciprocating feelings toward her, Yu-Ra pressed on in the belief that she was the sole person meant for Ji-Hyeok. This leads her to start paying off Min-Hwan to stalk his ex-girlfriend and drive a wedge in the blossoming relationship between Ji-Hyeok and Ji-Won.

She is also said to have bullied Yoo Hee-Yeon (Choi Gyu-Ri), Ji-Hyeok’s sister when they were younger.
