My first K-drama
All I can say that after this drama I was hooked to k-dramas!. I thought it was wonderful and well worth watching over and over. All the characters in this drama are lovable. The two leads are perfect, and have great chemistry. Thank you Director Park Seon Ho ! you did very well, and also to those who made this lovable drama. If you are looking for comedy, and romance this drama has it. Well worth the watch again and again.Was this review helpful to you?
Netflix did it gooooood!
The series was anticipated by many, including myself. I only saw Hyo-seop Ahn once in Abyss and I really liked it, so Business Proposal had to be on my screen the moment it came on Netflix! Rarely do you get dramas where both the primary and secondary couple have such interesting stories and you wish the episodes were stretched to the max to see more sweet moments between them. I don't know which couple I adore more! 😍😍The story of Abyss was way more unique and imprinted itself stronger in my memory. Despite that, Business Proposal is a very enjoyable romantic drama. They use every possible clichés and stereotypical elements of the genre but it sells. Oooh it sells! Drama has ended sometime ago and people are still raving about it 😅
Moving on to female lead. Shin Ha Ri is not a boring scientist who devotes herself to her work. She becomes recognizable thanks to her achievements, which makes it easier to believe that in a large corporation she has a chance to stand face to face with the president 💖
Secondary love story .... Cha Sung Hoon and Jin Young Seo were so so so so soooo great together! I was dying for their love and I wished they had more screentime. It's been a long time (if ever) since I was so drawn to the love story of secondary characters in the series. They were so sweet and crazy that I was getting pure pleasure from watching them approach each other 😍

É muito clichê, Do início ao fim.
Muito fofo e me tirou boas risadas... Até fiquei com um pouco de saudade quando finalmente chegou ao fim💕 jdjdhdjwksjdjskakdjcofoqoqpowirdnekwododirjjrjejekwjkwwjiwi282828838383828828484848484838388384848484nsjwiwiskiwiwjridieoidjdjdjejiwieidisiej2nqo1o9w9rjdjowowisjejdhudiejrhrhrujrhdhrudhdhhdbfhfhfhfhhfhdjdjdj8ueueieieuueururiwidufjejidjfjdjfjrjrjrjjrh3hejrjfjekejjejejdjdji839393938283828u2u2kwkei23oeoeiekkrjvjfkdkmwmdkdoeo3i48t7u3ufu3ndhiek29ekehehehudududidjdkdkskkskekwowjdididjdjdjowowo29e9i3jfj3i74krkdWas this review helpful to you?
The second couple made me watch this drama.
The story is similar to What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, a romance between the CEO & an Employee. I like this drama more because of the 4 leads. They've great chemistry with each other.The Things I liked/loved
One of my favorite scenes is where Kang Tae Moo grandpa says to Kang Tae Moo & Cha Sung Hoon that they are dating & instantly Cha Sung Hoon replies "he isn’t my type."
Samantha & Rachel are two prestigious things of Shin Ha Ri.
Love at first sight for Second Couple. Their clips made me watch it.
Shin Ha Ri gets into Kang Tae Moo’s car right after rejecting him & then calling him archaeopteryx.
I laughed so much when Shin Ha Ri & Jin Young Seo came home drunk & the things they did.
Laughed hard when Shin Ha Ri ran away from Kang Tae Moo & her shoe thrown at his face.
Poor Kang Tae Moo has to go on 11 dates in one day & one in Japan.
Jin Young Seo ran into Cha Sung Hoon’s arms, seeing a cockroach. How sweetly he helped her to get rid of it despite him being afraid of it.
Loved the phase where Kang Tae Moo tortured Shin Ha Ri at work.
The famous meme where Shin Ha Ri doing a happy dance & Kang Tae Moo keeps looking at her.
Love Cha Sung Hoon’s in-line sarcasm to Kang Tae Moo
Cha Sung Hoon & Jin Young Seo argue about not crossing each other's line.
It’s sweet how Kang Tae Moo came running to a drunk Shin Ha Ri at midnight.
The OMG & matching dress of Jin Young Seo & Jo Yoo Jung.
“I’ll make sure that you never forget” uff my favorite line, which is why I decided to watch it in the first place.
“Spend just your time on me. I’ll spend the money”. I wish someone would say this to me.
Jin Young Seo flirting with Cha Sung Hoon & his blushing face is so cute.
Laughed at Cha Sung Hoon expression when he saw Jo Yu Jung in his workplace.
Laugh every time Kang Tae Moo grandpa beats him up.
Laughed so hard at the scene where Cha Sung Hoon & Jin Young Seo help distract Shin Ha Ri’s parents so that Kang Tae Moo could sneak out & the way Shin Ha Ri pushed & pulled Kang Tae Moo from one place to another.
I think my brother would’ve said the same thing as Shin Ha Ri brother said about her dating Kang Tae Moo that, "did she blackmailed him?"
I laughed when Cha Sung Hoon was helping Kang Tae Moo to put on his jacket, a nurse came & misinterpreted that they’re a couple & they said firmly "No"
Laughed so much when Shin Ha Ri’s mother beat Kang Tae Moo & her.
Loved it.

Top notch comedy
The best thing from among many delightful aspects of this series is the dynamic comedic duo Kim Se Jeong and Seol In Ah. Whenever the scene focus is on these two they generate laughter and this was much more apparent my second time watching. This praise shouldn't be taken as criticising the performances of the other leads. This is a feel good romantic comedy that comes across as fresh and original despite treading some old cliche pathways. The two leading couples have chemistry that works together.PS One personal irritation for situation comedies is when the situations are so badly contrived i.e. people making absurd choices and then scramble to escape. 'Business Proposal' has few like that. What makes much of the humor work is that the choices and resulting situations are usually 'reasonable' enough to be believable. That sets the stage for the comedy talents of the dynamic comedic duo, both together and when working off of their leads, to shine at their best.

Facilmente o drama que mais ri na minha vida.
Não vi tantos ao ponto de falar que considero pretendente surpresa um clichê. Mas, fazia muito tempo que não via um e ele me fez rir e me divertir tanto que não imaginava que poderia rir assim com um drama. Os personagens são ótimos e a interpretação dos atores é PERFEITA. A protagonista não decepciona nem por um momento.Achei a história muito bem desenvolvida, a forma como as coisas acontecem é muito fluída, não fica muito tempo no mesmo problema e girando no mesmo lugar. O romance é no ponto certo, e é muito legal ver como os dois protagonistas se aproximam.
O casal secundário também é perfeito.
Enfim, recomendo MUITO, assistam sem medo.

Review in 3 points.
CLICHE BUT CUTECRINGEY BUT SWEET
WEIRD BUT FUNNY
Ever watched drama and you wonder how cliché the drama can be ? Well this might be the one for you. It is like they compiling all cliche point from every other drama and put it into business proposal. But they done it right that it is cliche but cute. Cringey dialogue and scene but still sweet and romantic. Weird face and reaction but still make you cried cause it’s super funny.
So yeah. Overall it’s good drama with no conflict or twist. Just good enough for relaxing and chill.

Watch the drama you’ve been avoiding!!!!
« What’s that K-drama you’ve been avoiding but that actually turns out to be amazing ? » THIS IS THE ONE FOR ME.I didn’t expect much, but it completely won me over. As a book lover and huge fan of the arranged marriage trope, I went crazy when I saw it here. It felt like all my favorite romance clichés came to life. The chemistry between the leads? INCREDIBLE, I was smiling, laughing, and melting every scene.
Sung-Hoon and Young-seo were also amazing, love them. Overall, I adored Business Proposal.

Best drama
In disguise as her friend, Ha-ri shows up to a blind date to scare him away. But plans go awry when he turns out to be her CEO - and makes a proposal.

Old School Rom-Com Cliches
I really hate when they have last minute NEW drama they have to resolve halfway through the final episode. Even worse I hate the time slips and travel that make no sense.This was 100% standard Kdrama rom-com cliche.
It was fun enough for a quick watch.
My honest opinion is that Kim Min Gue was the better actor in this drama and I really liked him as Cha Sung Hoon. I enjoyed the secondary couple much better, although they wrote Young Seo as having episodes of psycho chick in her. I didn't get it, because most 80% of the time she was a sweet, down-to-earth, rational person who is a loyal friend, but every once in a while she acted like she didn't know what was going on and got angry for BS reasons. Past that, I did love them as a couple.
The rest of it was pure cliche... that's all I can say... lol.

Cliché story but the experience was top notch
First of all, the story is just like every other rich CEO meets a poor girl trope. However, the way the cast carried every scene so perfectly made the experience amazing. The funny scenes were done exceptionally well. This is a proof that an overdone and boring plot can be a pretty great watch.The 2 female leads are undoubtedly the best characters in the show. They are funny and have great chemistry as friends but also they just put on a great show.
The 2 male leads were really good as well.

A Contract Romance That Knows Exactly How to Have Fun
This drama clocks in, exceeds expectations, and leaves you grinning through the exit doors.Business Proposal is rom-com perfection with a wink. It embraces tropes like blind dates, fake relationships, and chaebol CEOs, then executes them with confidence, pacing, and just the right amount of self-awareness. Nothing overstays its welcome. Every episode understands momentum.
Shin Ha-ri is chaotic charm done right. She’s relatable, quick-witted, and emotionally grounded, while Kang Tae-moo is delightfully rigid until love dismantles his spreadsheets. Their chemistry crackles with playful banter and escalating absurdity, never tipping into cringe because the writing knows when to pull back.
The supporting couple deserves its own applause. Their dynamic adds spice and emotional contrast, making the world feel fuller and even more bingeable. Humor lands cleanly, romance feels earned, and the drama never forgets that fun is the main goal.
What makes Business Proposal a standout is discipline. It doesn’t drag, overcomplicate, or pretend to be something it’s not. It delivers joy efficiently and confidently.
📈 10/10 for pacing, chemistry, and being the ultimate comfort rom-com you can rewatch without fatigue.
