Source-derived summary

Marrying a Millionaire (Korean: 백만장자와 결혼하기) is a South Korean television series that aired on SBS from November 26, 2005 to January 22, 2006.

Storyline

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, as Young-hoon was her first love. After many years, they meet up again at a party.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Marrying a Millionaire” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Marrying, Millionaire and television provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6773071. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2006.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
