Storyline
editWant to marry a millionaire? Add one Average Joe, be one of eight women selected, and money from the television network station, and you can.
Han Eun-young works as a clerk at a bank, trying to pay off the debts her stepmother and sister have piled on her. Kim Young-hoon is your regular "Average Joe" worker. He provides for his father, his older brother and his wife, as well as his younger brother.
One day, PD Yoo Jin-ha is asked to take over the project Marry a Millionaire. Reluctantly, he agrees to handle the project. His search begins with the perfect man to play the "millionaire". His goal is to use a man who is an average worker, but can pull off the facade of a millionaire. Kim Young-hoon is that man. Although he works hard for a living, there are many who can easily mistake him for a rich guy.
By chance, Eun-young is selected to be a participant in the TV show. Although the women are not supposed to know that this millionaire of theirs is just a regular worker, Eun-young knows his true identity. How? Simple. Young-hoon was her first love. After many years, they meet up again at a party. Although she does not recognize him at first, she realizes he is the young boy she had fallen in love with back in middle school. Although she says she made a mistake in liking him, being in the show with him is bringing up warm feelings once again.
