Different but Same

Hear me out, the reason i gave it a high rating was because of the cast. I was so excited because business proposal was one of the webtoon that i truly enjoyed. The cast did an amazing job and they really are similar to the characters in the webtoon.

The story is alittle different from the manhwa but its alright, it flows. I enjoyed the drama but to me it could have been better. But overall it is a good drama with good cast. If you want some comedy romance korean drama with good chemistry then this is it.

Their chemistry is not awkward and i can see they truly enjoyed acting this out. I would recommend this to everyone but please if you do not read the webtoon, you can still enjoy the drama.

extra sweet

This kdrama is worth your time, it's a sweet storyline.
It's also funny and exciting to watch, it's a good kdrama to beginners so if you have friends who don't watch kdramas and you show it to them they will get addicted too.
.............................................................
I hope you will like it too<3.

A Popular Rom-Com and All the Classic K-Drama Clichés

A very popular and successful romantic comedy. All the credit goes to the actors, who are extremely charming and fun. It’s a light, romantic series with all the K-Drama codes and clichés that K-Drama fans love. A series that can appeal to both international and local audiences.
Kim Se Jeong is perfect in this funny, authentic, and sincere role. She’s beautiful and forms a perfect couple with Ahn Hyo Seop, with one of the best chemistries you can see in K-Dramas. She’s hardworking, intelligent, kind, sincere, and of course, funny.

Ahn Hyo Seop perfectly embodies the stereotype of the narcissistic, brilliant, handsome, and intelligent SEO. We also see the evolution of his character throughout the episodes. It’s impossible to resist AHS’s charm, a talented young actor who is among the best of his generation.

The second couple is funny as well; the guy sometimes plays more in the background, as if he wants to give space to the lead actor and hi is a little stiff in his gestures. The grandfather is also funny.

As for the storyline, it’s effective, romantic, and dynamic, but there’s a certain naivety in its treatment, which shouldn’t be taken too seriously. This is especially the case with the double character of Shin Xa Ri. The series starts extremely strong, with the best moments in the first three episodes, which adds to the charm of the series, with very funny dialogues and situations. In the second part, it becomes conventional and calm. The last 3 episodes could have been better in terms of writing, as I found a few circumstances excessive (probably to fill time), and that could have made the series truly perfect.

The music is very effective, and the soundtrack fits the characters perfectly, with a group offering a simple song with a touching voice in Korean style, which stays in your head. One of the most beautiful songs of 2022 for dramas.

If you’re looking for a romantic rom-com written and produced in the traditional Korean rom-com style, funny (even if with a few awkward moments), full of the genre’s clichés, and with perfect chemistry, this is the one. It’s one of those series you can watch and rewatch.

romantic comedy done right!

This drama is really a romcom, aka the story doesn't make sense. BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE THIS ENJOYABLE.

as you can see, I don't really like the romance genre because it's a bit boring imo. and a business proposal is just like other romcom drama, but when I watched it, it was fun too :}}

for the ending it's a bit rushed tbh, the sudden timeskip??. but it's fine

I really like the main couple and side couple here. sejeong and hyeoseop's chemistry when acting is not too awkward, especially seol in ah and kim minggue, so it's nice to look at.

soo, the conclusion is, this drama is good for all of you who like romcom. the comedy is there, the romance is there, and the sadness is also there although a little :DD

love it!

so relatable! a lot of us girls and guys have crushes on ppl who just do not notice them. I love how she helped her friend with the dates that was very funny and cute and also relatable because we would help our friends out in crisis lol. I love how down to earth the main character is. she loves her family. she is clumsy and cute. I love the male lead. I don’t know how he kept a straight face some scene I would crack up and mess up the scene lmao. definitely a good watch if you are looking for something down to earth mixed with cliche.

Your cute typical drama

My review will be brief! This story is cute, well written, dialogues are fluid, there is a good cast, the actors play well, there is good chemistry between main & second lead couples! All the ingredients of your typical kdrama are reunited in this scenario! There aren’t twists and the plot isn’t complicated! And it works! It’s a hit in South Korea. It was released on Netflix at the same time than other kdramas that might be better! This a drama to watch and enjoy, but nothing new to expect!

Would like 2nd season of Business Proposal

I thought this kdrama was going to be set in a business from title so pleasant surprise.
Very funny, too short. Would like 2nd season.
I also was not impressed by story line showing sex while female 2nd lead drunk. Good that it featured but I feel this sanctioned it.
All actors very good. Call out to all the actors who only had small parts. They are vitally necessary but perhaps don't get big pay? I love to see men without wigs.
All in all, very good, would recommend 95%.

Unexpected

I really love this Kdrama. There was not even a single episode that I don't laugh and smile. The comedy is really good with a tons of romance thingy. The backstory of the main character is not being focused on that much, which I really like because it does make this Kdrama not cliche and same as other Kdrama as they always focus on the trauma thingy on that main character.

The main couple and side couple is really outstanding! They carry their role perfectly and I can see the strong chemistry between them tho.

In conclusion, this is a really good Kdrama. It is light and fun to watch. The romance and comedy is sooo balanced that you will love it.

Joy Without Apology

There’s a kind of magic in a drama that knows exactly what it is, doesn’t pretend to be more, and still ends up delivering more than expected. Business Proposal wasn’t subtle, and it didn’t need to be. It knew the tropes, loved them loudly, and let them play out with a confidence that felt like being invited into something gleefully unserious — and completely sincere.

What pulled me in wasn’t just the setup — though fake dating, mistaken identity, and boardroom tension are catnip when done right. It was the tone. This wasn’t a drama winking at the audience, trying to be too clever for its genre. It trusted the rom-com blueprint, not to subvert it, but to celebrate it. And that sincerity? That’s what made it feel so good.

Kim Se-jeong was at the heart of that. She didn’t just carry the comedy — she lit it up. Her timing, her expressions, the way she gave her character both chaos and control… it was magnetic. And never one-note. Even at her most ridiculous, there was depth flickering beneath the surface. Ahn Hyo-seop played beautifully against that energy — polished and composed, but never cold. Just enough vulnerability tucked under the bravado to keep it all from tipping into caricature.

Every scene between them felt like a perfect rom-com beat: heightened, exaggerated, but always with a hint of truth that made it work. Their chemistry didn’t just sizzle — it sparkled. Like watching two people discover they’re in on the same joke, and the joke is somehow love.

There were no high-stakes emotional breakdowns. No gut-wrenching reveals. And that was the point. Business Proposal gave me permission to just enjoy. To laugh, to root for something light, to let my guard down and be swept up in a story that didn’t ask for emotional labor, only attention — and joy.

The colors were bright, the pacing was tight, and the whole thing moved like it had somewhere fun to be. And for once, I didn’t want to slow it down. It was sweet, a little chaotic, maybe even a bit too clean around the edges — but in the middle of all that gloss, it made me feel good. Not changed, not challenged — just happy.

Sometimes that’s everything.
