What does the Korean title 내 남편과 결혼해줘 mean?

It literally means 'Marry my husband (for me)' — a nod to the heroine's scheme to make her treacherous best friend marry her awful husband after she gets a second chance at life.

What is Marry My Husband about?

Marry My Husband (내 남편과 결혼해줘) is a 2024 tvN drama in which Kang Ji-won, a wronged office worker, is sent about ten years into the past and rewrites her fate. It stars Park Min-young, with Na In-woo as Yoo Ji-hyuk, and was a major ratings hit — its finale drew nearly 12% nationwide.

What politeness level does it teach?

Lots of 존댓말 (jondaetmal) — the polite, formal speech you use with strangers, coworkers, and elders. The line 거절하겠습니다 ('I'll have to decline') is a good example of formal Korean. That makes it a great complement to a casual drama like Lovely Runner.
