Business Proposal

My first Kdrama as a Cdrama lover and i'm loving it!

Overview:
My first kdrama as a cdrama lover and omg I love this! One of the best dramas I’ve ever watched- 10/10 highly recommended.


Pros:
• Well laid out plot and pace- doesn’t get draggy at any point (prolly the first drama in which I haven’t watched even a single second on 2x 😅)
• Beautiful and captivating story
• Great actors/ actresses- acting/ chemistry/ speech delivery/ kisses etc
• Sound effects/ humour doesn’t feel forced (just the right amount and its such a vibe- refer to p.s.)
• 2nd lead’s got a really nice plot too (for a comparatively shorter kdrama- 12 ep only)
• Genuine friendship portrayed- very healing to watch
• Great and supportive side characters too
• Spoiler: the archaeopteryx sound effects are killing me 😂
• Loved the music <3


Cons:
I really cant think of any :)
• if I HAD to add something- prolly the main leads kisses: mostly cute and healing kisses not as good as you would expect a lead couple to kiss (second lead’s definitely made up for that tho- I finally found that viral kiss and guess what, it isn’t even the main leads kiss 🙃)


Summary:
Awesome drama with zero unnecessarily draggy plots or love triangles: very healing and hilarious too- 1000/10 must watch!!


Additional P.S.
My first kdrama was actually “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” but the sound effects and ML’s “auraaa” sorta got on my nerves before I eventually dropped it mid 2nd episode- sorry not sorry :)
Additional rant btw sorry if it was sorta rude 💙

A Business Proposal

Shin Ha Ri (actress Kim Se Jung) is single and works for a company.
She has a friend that she has been in love with for a long time.
Shin Ha Ri feels sad and decides to meet her friend Jin Young Soo (actress Sol In Ha), who is a member of the Chaebol family.
Jin Young asks Shin Ha Ri to go upstairs for a blind date and even offers to pay her. Shin Ha Ri accepts her friend's proposal. She goes on a blind date as Jin Young Soo, intending to be rejected by her date.
Seeing her date, Shin Ha Ri is amazed. Her date is Kang Tae Moo (actor Ahn Hyo Soop).
The CEO of the company she works for. Kang Tae Moo is the CEO of the company his grandfather founded.
One day, his grandfather informed him of an upcoming blind date that he had scheduled for him. Kang Tae Mo is a workaholic and is angry that his grandfather is setting him up on blind dates. He decides to marry the next woman he goes on a blind date with, so that she will no longer interfere with his work. The woman is this Shin Ha Ri, pretending to be Jin Young Soo.
The day after the meeting, Shin Ha Ri receives a phone call from Kang Tae Moo. He asks him to marry him.

The funniest and most interesting part was that she went to meet him for the first time on a date.

Very witty and sometimes touching

An very enjoyable watch, that combines an attractive cast, witty dialogue, totally mad moments, OTT aspects and characters, some touching moments and lashings of cheese!
It's a perfect watch for anyone wanting a light romance that has been seriously put together, but with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
The ML's upright character amidst all the shenanigans, slowly thawing, was fun to see.
The only aspect that spoilt it somewhat for me, was the total lack of any disguise used by the FL's character when standing in for her best friend.
OK, the assumed likelihood of her ever running into the blind date again played a part, but one would have expected her to have at least donned a wig in the same colour and style as her friend! She was, after all, impersonating her and for all they knew, he had some idea of what she looked like.
The outcome of a major element to the plot, later on, was also disappointingly concluded, like it was an after thought.
Small niggles though, in an overall very entertaining ride.

I like it…

So, it’s been a while(like 4 months) since I’ve watched anything other than a Thai drama or BL.. so I’m going to try to review this fairly.

Overall it’s a great story. Though it’s a pretty common story trope for kdramas, I liked how it didn’t start the typical way. I also like how unlike usual, where they fight and deny feeling for a long time, and then eventually get together, and something “breaks them up” temporarily before they work it out and switch into heavily being a couple. Instead, they are simple and wholesome and light, while still staying hidden, mostly for the sake of reputations on both ends.

My only real issue was that then ending was very anticlimactic and underwhelming. I didn’t enjoy the fact they had him be gone for a year, drop a potential cheating scandal, and then have him show up and propose all in the last 5 minutes of the show. Not to mention, they never really say what happens with Jin Young Seo and her father, or between her and Cha Sung Hoon. They mention her taking a year off, but for what? And she calls him her boyfriend at the end, so does that mean the engagement was off? Or on hold? I just feel like it needed one more episode to really wrap things up.

All this said, I did really enjoy it for it being my first kdrama in a while.

Pure Fun and Charm—A Workplace Romance That Delivers

Business Proposal is exactly what I was hoping for—lighthearted, hilarious, and incredibly entertaining. Since I love dramas with a boss-employee dynamic, I knew I had to give this one a shot, and thankfully, it did not disappoint!

Both Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Se Jeong brought their characters to life beautifully. While the chemistry wasn’t a perfect 100, their performances made up for it. Kim Se Jeong’s comedic timing was fantastic—her playful antics had me laughing throughout the series.

This drama doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s what makes it such a joy to watch. It’s the perfect balance of romance and humor, offering a feel-good escape for anyone craving a refreshing rom-com. With all that said, Business Proposal absolutely earns a 9.5/10 from me!

A typical story but outstanding cast and acting

I started watching this drama because I happened to go through its webtoon once and when it came out everyone was hyping it so I was curious.

I will be straightforward; the drama was overall average. The story was nothing unique and is kind of predictable. The comedy was nice most of the time but can also be overbearing, like some of the scenes are just way too illogical and embarrassing you'd definitely also get second hand embarrassment for the female lead because of the situations she's put in with a certain character... Adding that the ending was truly not that satisfying; they could have made it feel less rushed.

The cast and their acting however was absolutely amazing. The chemistry between the leads was nice, especially the secondary couple. They had moments even off camera if you check bts and other clips of them.

The average rating is mostly because this is not really my cup of tea; I prefer shows that have a balanced fill of seriousness, mystery and comedy, while this show was mostly predictable and comedic.

Probably One of the Top 10 For Me

Ah, this drama. I finished watching it for the 4th time this month, and it's never stopped making me laugh, cringe, and yell at my computer screen. This CEO x Worker drama has a good pace and enough comedy at the right times that it doesn't seem like they're forcing it. The romance is K-Drama level, not too spicy or too subtle that you don't have to feel awkward while watching it; quite the opposite, it nearly made me cry and my heart felt warm the whole time. The angst is little, to some's disappointment, although the story (kind of) makes up for it. As I said above, the pace is good and the story has a pretty good plot (after watching more and more K-Dramas with honestly a better story), and the music.... oh god, the music! Even after watching it four weeks later, I'll find myself singing it, and I don't even speak Korean! Overall, this drama is a must-watch for those looking for their first K-Drama. It will give you a great impression of the K-Drama world and it has given me a good laugh and I hope the same goes for you!
