<p>Haven&#x27;t we all imagined what our dream proposal would look like (even we&#x27;re nowhere near getting engaged)? Maybe it&#x27;s under a sky full of fireworks, on a beach at sunset, or in the comfort of your own home with your favorite person. After all, if it&#x27;s a moment you&#x27;re hoping to experience only once, it has to be pretty unforgettable, right? </p><p>JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith, of course, are no exception. In keeping with the theme of their <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>iWant original</u></strong></a><strong><u></u><u></u></strong> microdrama &quot;<strong>Will You Fake Marry Me?</strong>,&quot; they built their own fantasy proposals in this fun challenge. </p><p>In this game, Fyang lets JM guess the different elements of her dream proposal through a series of multiple-choice questions, starting off with the location, for which the options are a private yacht (which, NGL, brought back memories of their kilig <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/6/20/how-jm-ibarra-s-romantic-yacht-promposal-scored-a-yes-from-fyang-smith-star-magical-prom-2026-0040" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Star Magical promposal</u></strong></a>), the living room, a Ferris wheel, or a taping location.  </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="543" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rQtS_wXcP6g" title="Ano ang fantasy proposal ng #JMFyang? | Watch #WilllYouFakeMarryMe on iWant!" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>JM thought she&#x27;d prefer a grand gesture on set, but Fyang revealed she&#x27;d actually choose a proposal at home with family and friends. And looks like JM took a mental note of that! </p><p>What&#x27;s a proposal without good food? The pair would like to keep the menu simple with their comfort food picks—dried fish for her and ginisang monggo for him.  </p><p>As for the outfit, JM would want to pop the question in an alien costume, which Fyang didn&#x27;t agree with at first, but after giving it some thought, she found the idea unique. JM&#x27;s inner scriptwriter definitely came out as he imagined recruiting a few people to pretend to be police officers and stage his arrest to keep Fyang distracted before he gets down on one knee. Sounds like something straight out of a movie, right? </p><p>JMFyang were on the same page about their fur babies, Max and Kong, making the perfect ring bearers. Plus, their reactions when they saw Max and Kong&#x27;s names among the options were too cute to handle! </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/7/15/jmfyang-takes-us-behind-the-scenes-of-iwant-vertical-drama-will-you-fake-marry-me-0015" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: JMFyang takes us behind the scenes of iWant vertical drama “Will You Fake Marry Me?”</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>As for his proposal speech, JM would most likely borrow a line from his &quot;Will You Fake Marry Me?&quot; character, Ping.

Since he pictured the proposal happening at a taping location, he thought it would be poetic to end it there too. &quot;Sa ending ng isang project natin, kuwari nag-propose &#x27;yung character ko sa character mo.&quot; Fyang chimed in, &quot;Hindi nila alam totoo na pala.&quot; JM continued, &quot;Sa ending, live announcement!&quot; See?
