The movie tells the story of Choi Young-in, a successful businessman who is about to marry his fiance, Park Hyun-jo. However, on the night before his wedding, he is framed for a crime he did not commit and goes on the run, leaving his bride-to-be at the altar.

The movie opens with Choi Young-in's lavish lifestyle, which includes fast cars, designer suits, and luxurious apartments. He is seen as a successful entrepreneur who has made a fortune through illegal means. However, his world comes crashing down when he is framed for embezzlement by his business partner, who is caught by the police and coerced into implicating Choi in the crime.

As the police close in on him, Choi decides to run away and hide until he can clear his name. He takes all his fortune in cash and heads to China, where he intends to lie low until the case against him is resolved.

While on the run, Choi ends up in the company of an unlikely partner, a young woman named Da-hae (Hyo-Rin Min), who helps him navigate the unfamiliar surroundings of China. Da-hae is a spunky, street-smart girl who dreams of becoming a pop star.

The two quickly become friends, and Da-hae helps Choi come up with various hilarious schemes to avoid being caught by the police. However, they soon realize that the money won't last forever, and they need to come up with a plan to clear Choi's name and regain his reputation and fortune.

During their adventures, Choi and Da-hae meet a cast of colorful characters, including a gang of Chinese thugs, a wealthy businessman who is looking for his lost son, and a wise old man who dispenses sage advice.

As they travel around China, Choi and Da-hae start to fall for each other, and the movie takes on a romantic tone. However, Choi's impending trial looms over them like a dark cloud, and they know they need to act fast if they want to clear his name.

Overall, A Millionaire On the Run is a lighthearted, fun comedy that blends action, romance, and adventure. The chemistry between J.Y.
