Superhumanly charming
Let me make a proposal: Can we please get 1000 more episodes of this show???How is it already finished? It was sooooo fun, heartwarming, touching and funny - it's going to be a while (if ever) until we see another drama of this caliber.
The story sounds a little cliche at first: Kang Tae-Moo is a rich president of a food company whom his grandfather sets up on blind dates because he wants to see Kang Tae-Moo with a wife and children. He sets up a date with Jin Young Seo, the daughter of another wealthy man. Kang Tae-Moo sees this as a waste of his time but indulges on it to satisfy his grandfather. On the other hand, Jin Young Seo knows that all her blind dates are wastes and pays her best friend Shin Ha Ri to go on the blind date to scare off the president. What follows is the most hilarious blind date scene ever where Shin Ha Ri plays the sexy slutty girl to make sure that Kang Tae-Moo disapproves of her. I've seen this scene dozens of times and it just never gets old. However, Kang Tae-Moo takes a liking to her and Shin Ha Ri's lies become more and more intricate where we see a series of fake - and eventually real - dates between these stars.
I always find it amusing that some of the jokes only work in Korean (or Asian) shows. For example in the quoted scene above, Shin Ha Ri takes off her coat to show a little (but really very little) skin and is thinking to herself that nobody likes a girl with much skin - portraying a sluttier girl. But this only works in Korea, no western guy would be against a little skin. There are other typical scenes which appear to be quite intimate to Koreans while really not so for westerners - but I guess those are elements of every K-Drama (compared to western TV shows). I do like this because it gives many scenes more special.
The side couples are also cute, especially the best friend couple. They've been sweet throughout the entire show and it's amusing seeing that they sort of figured out many things a little earlier than the main couple.
Some parts were quite overdramatic but still mostly funny. I also strongly approve that the couples get together early in the show, so we get to enjoy seeing some together time of these couples. Shows or books that end after the main couple actually become a couple usually seem unsatisfying but this show allowed us to enjoy the actual relationships!
The filming is always beautiful filled with great colors. The actors are also amazing and sweet in their own respects. It's fun to let Kim Se Jeong sing a little and to have Shin Ha Ri be the girl who enjoys singing and acting with us knowing that Kim Se Jeong represents all of these! I'm definitely a new fan of hers.
My heart is still melting and I won't get over next week where we won't be seeing another episode of this fantastic drama.

Go watch, right now!
This show deserved to be a 16 episodes. And here is why:The drama is incredible funny, cute and romantic. But, the final was little bit rushed for me?
But I do get this sensation when I watch some dramas with 12 episodes with good plot.
This romantic comedy was till now one of the best I've watched since 2016 when the best ones was aired, it's been ages since I have felt this anxious waiting for news eps to come out.
For some people that don't like clichés, maybe this one it's not for you. Probably, you know that romcoms most of the time are really cute, romantic and "cringe", but that's why we like so much 😂
I have to be thankful to the casting team, because they did a amazing job while casting the main leads.
I never expect the combination between these actors and I just love it.
You know when you get good feelings because of the cast, right? That's what I felt while watching the BTS videos of them.
Now, talking about the final. It may contain spoilers.
1. It was a rushed ending. They could have done so much better with the story, it was going be amazing seeing the things that did happen in the Manga.
2. They could have make the 2nd lead couple better. They cut of their screen time in the middle of the drama almost, if we did get more episodes they could have been more explored.
Seeing all of them getting married was something we would love to see in the final episode, since all of them got engaged.
Somethings I would love to see:
1. YooRa getting sued for exposing Hari life and for defamation. I would be so happy!
2. More of her family, I thought Hari family was so cute. I would like to know about them.
3. What really happened with Youngseo mother, I got really curious about how things did turn to left her kid to go to the Germany, like what?
And so many things...
I have to say about the chemistry between all the main leads. Couples and friends.
And a shout out to both bed scenes, because they were FIRE 🔥
I truly recommend this drama to however who is reading this, if this suit your type of drama.
And, no, the rushed final doesn't make the drama bad. 😅
Thank you for reading!

RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE OUT THERE!!!!
Really light hearted ROM com. The music the acting, the story everything was just very good. So this is going to be in my top 5 for a really long time because the story is just as good as health and I will actually say the comedy scenes were really good they were really humorous and if you are determined to see something light hearted then you should really watch this.WOW!! This drama is so hilarously funny! Watch it for a nice time of laughter with the really good looking young cast. Main actor Ahn HS is so handsome (in a Park SJ kinda way) 😆 did they have the same stylist? 😅and main actress Kim SJ is very cute in all her fake vixen-y girlfriend 'do' during the first few dates. The 2 of them are very cute together. Nice that the writers HanSH and HongBH let dishy secretary Kim MK get some romance too with the other 재벌friend. Actor Ahn 's english is very good, and after reading up that he is Canadian, no wonder..It's really great that segments of ethnic Koreans diaspora keep their Korean language heritage so well, and are effectively bilingual. Returning to Korea is such a great decision that it worked out so successfully for AhnHS! Lastly, I loved the cheeky 할아버지grandfather . LeeDH is so cute in a grandaddy kinda way! Wouldnt you love to hv a cool grandad like that. All in, cant wait to watch the rest of episodes, which hvnt been released yet. Seems to deserve better viewership ratings than what it has. 화이팅!
Would be nice to have subtitles 2 options of Hangul and English, now u can only select one. (so as to learn Korean while being entertained)😆Netflix, do consider .;)

This show is reason why i came in to the world of kdrama.
The romance, the laughter, the cast everthing was on point. Yeah sure it deviated alot from the webtoon but it was well made and i don't expect anybody to make 120 chapters into 12 episodes without removing anything. LOVED Kim Sejeong's acting and the funny noises she made. This is first drama that i have watched casting Kim Sejeong and for me she projected the ideal woman a man wants. She was quirky and was able to maintain her bright character. Ahn Hyoseop all so did a great role. Seol in ah and Kim minkyu did were very accurte to the charecters from the webtoon. The chemistry between the cast wast vivid to say the least. This show made me wait for mondays to come.The show kept me hooked from the start, and i re-watched the whole show before the finale and i can promise that it gets batter when you watch it again, you get to see a lot of detail and small things that you might have missed previously.
But i agree it was full of cliche and over the top scene, but it was well excuted and made it a never feel it wasn't needed.
The music was on point and matched well with pacing of the show. Now its part of my spotify playlist.
Even though a 2nd season might not be feasible they should give us a special episode for there marrage or somthing .
This show was an emotional support for me. And definately a 100% recommendation to any kdrama watchers.

BEST ROM-COM DRAMA OF 2022 (WATCH IT OTHERWISE YOU WILL REGRET)
After a long time i have seen a Rom Com drama because of which i have no stress!!!No unnecessary fights,
No family issues: yeah there is some issue in second last episode but Tae mu's grandfather was not that much against there relationship.
Also comedy timing and there expressions are great especially Kim sae jeong, she is so amazing in those comedy expressions and scenes.
And at last romantic scenes what to say romantic scenes, kisses everything is so great in this drama and with perfect timing that whenever you feel they have been no kissing scenes or romantic scenes or sweet talks lately you will get it right at that time.
I started watching this drama when only 2 episode was aired(accidently i came across a video on YouTube) and from the first episode till the end today i loved every episode since i have seen so many dramas nowadays i drop most of the dramas because either there story is similar or there are unnecessary episode( they literally stretch 1 episode into 3 or 4) but in this drama every episode was amazing never felled bored.
I would have given it 9 star but support characters makes it 10, Right amount of screen time is given to support characters not like some dramas where support character are just for time pass, they have their separate story.

12 episodes of happiness ❤
Business proposal was a cliché done right:') (It gave 2010 rom-com vibes that I was longing for) Thank you for 12 episodes of happiness !✨ Honestly if this drama had a different cast, I don't think i would've enjoyed it as much :3 I'm like addicted to the main couple:3 Hatae chemistry is really out of this world❤❤ I wish it had more episodes to show the wedding and the honeymoon ofc :P. However, I'm glad that the main leads had a steamy scene ☺ (NO, I WILL NOT SHUT MY MOUTH ABOUT IT, you have no idea how many times i re-watched it. ) Even the second lead couple was adorable! If you want to have a good laugh just watch it!! I really hope hatae couple will reunite in another drama as main leads :') .Was this review helpful to you?

LIGHT HEARTED and Funny Goodness - A Favorite!!
Business Proposal truly is a gem. It THRIVES on Kdrama tropes and cliches. I laughed out loud watching this show. I looked forward to watching the next episodes during the whole week - it was a highlight of my week.I literally watched every episode twice and I only re watch something if I really like it.
The cast was fantastic. Even some of the product placements were pretty good, I must say.
My only complaint is the show was too short. I was definitely left wanting more! I highly recommend watching this if you are looking for something light and in the mood to laugh.

A very enjoyable drama to watch to relieve yourself from seeing stressful & heartbreaking dramas
I was waiting for another romcom & light-hearted kdramas after watching a traumatic kdrama (snowdrop ehem) and the timing's perfect. Its one of the dramas I anticipated cause I really love romcom genre and this does not disappoint me. I mainly want to watch this because of nice casting, especially because of Min Gue hehe.From its first episodes, you would not want to miss such iconic scenes and my favorite like the First Meet/Blind date, Samantha&Rachel, Drunk Bestie scene, and etc. It was enjoyable for me, I think every episode made me laugh and the leads were chaotic but cute.
I love the chemistry that everyone have. From the chaotic besties to main & second couple. Casting and acting was perfect for me, especially Sejeong eonnie. I watched School 2017 and her acting seriously upgraded since then and it was nice to see. It feels so good to watch their top-tier visuals too haha. I really like Youngseo & Hari's strong personality in the drama and Every character is so lovable like Youngseo's cousin and Grandpa.
I was waiting for wedding scenes tho since they keep on saying marriage. I was hoping to see a double wedding, such a waste. But overall its worth the watch. Highly recommended!
Their OST's are great too. My faves are Love, Maybe (every version) and Fall in Love by two of the members of group Weekly.

immediate boost of serotonin
who has ever said that going on blind dates cannot trigger some precious feelings? Shin HaRi, a competent food researcher, is asked by her best friend to pose as her on a blind date. however, HaRi's confidence in success gets crushed immediately when the blind date turns out to be the president of the company she works in, Kang TaeMoo, who is beyond ready to marry the girl he meets.i would have never thought it was possible to look forward to mondays and tuesdays that much. and yet, here we are. every single second of 'A Business Proposal' felt like a burst of fresh air and brought me nothing but joy. the drama contains so many so-called cliches, but hear me out, they work brilliantly, in such a lovely and comforting way. each character adds to this wholesome sweet picture with their bare existence; it's impossible not to love them. on top of that, the relationships are of the healthiest in kdramaland and if you still don't believe, try to see it for yourself then. you certainly won't regret the experience.

A Perfect Wind-Down Drama
Need a break from depressing/thrilling dramas? This'll do the job. If you're a fan of WWWSK, you're bound to love this.A cute, cliche, romance drama where every misunderstanding that is created, is resolved in the same episode, never have I been so stress free watching a show. The chemistry between the actors in the drama and in real life are spectacular.
What I liked about the show:
1. The fact that this drama has tropes I love:
- Contract relationship/ Forced Proximity
- Boss/Employee Relationship
- ML falls in love first
2. Problems aren't dragged out for 10 episodes and are almost immediately solved.
3. The soundtrack, MeloMance killed it with Love, Maybe.
4. The dialogue, albeit a bit cringey at times, really made my heart flutter.
5. The amount of effort Kang Taemoo put into doing things for Shin Hari because he liked her.
What I didn't like about the show:
1. “Do you know what my love for you and this credit card have in common? They both have no limit.” The fact that no man will ever tell me this.
I have to be honest, there are a lot of cheesy scenes in this drama and if you're someone that can't tolerate any second-hand embarrassment, it's best you skip this even though the drama did a good job at making those scenes really funny.
