Cliche Done Right! A Must Watch!
I loved absolutely everything about this drama! Even though it is a typical cliche Korean Drama, there is something about the lead characters that makes you want to watch it till the end. The chemistry is swoon-worthy and the plot is filled with humour and laughter! Even the second lead characters are to watch out for.Was this review helpful to you?
Clichés, but I love it anyway
This is probably the series I’ve rewatched the most in my life. I love the cast and how well they fit their characters, the plot, and the chemistry between the actors. It’s not my absolute favorite, but it’s definitely one of them and super easy to watch. I really love the relationship between the main characters, but I’d be lying if I said it’s my favorite, because I adore the friendship between the heroine and her best friend. The background songs are really catchy and really characterize the series, and the show itself is genuinely funny. That said, it has a lot of cliché moments, so if you’re not into that, I wouldn’t recommend it — the main storyline is pretty classic too (poor girl falls for rich boss). Overall, for me, it’s an amazing series that I’ve rewatched and will keep rewatching many more times.Was this review helpful to you?
A fake date, real sparks, and zero HR training—who knew corporate life was this spicy?
"Business Proposal : 9/10 – The Rom-Com Junk Food You Can’t Stop Bingeing"WHY IT’S A CULT FAVE:
Trope chaos at its finest – Contract dating! Secret identities! "Oops, you’re my CEO" shenanigans! It’s like the K-drama gods took every cliché and made it delicious.
Shin Ha-ri’s disaster energy – Ahn Hyo-seop’s deadpan CEO vs. Kim Se-jeong’s chaotic himbo-in-disguise? Perfection.
The second couple – Kim Min-kyu & Seol In-ah stole scenes harder than a K-pop fan steals photocards.
THE "OKAY, WE GET IT" MOMENTS:
The third amnesia subplot – At this point, it’s a K-drama drinking game.
Grandpa’s evil schemes – Sir, this is a rom-com, not a telenovela.
That CGI deer – Why? Just… why?
THE "I SCREAMED" SCENES:
The "I’m drunk, kiss me" chaos – Iconic. Unhinged. We stan.
The Ramyun date – A+ product placement (and also weirdly hot?).
VERDICT:
"Like reading a manhwa come to life—fluffy, ridiculous, and impossible to hate." Watch if: You want zero stress, maximum giggles, and a lead couple with big dumb energy. Skip if: You’re allergic to tropes served with extra cheese.

A romcom k-drama worth watching!
OMG what a ride! This is one of the most enjoyable kdramas I‘ve watched so far.There are only 12 episodes which I think is a big plus, stretching the story more would have made it less entertaining I guess. But like this the pace was perfect and it is ideal to binge-watch (like I did ;) ).
The main couple and also the second leads have a beautiful story and their chemistry is really sparkling. I especially liked the interaction and the focus on the friendship between the two male protagonists as well as the female protagonists.
Ahn Hyo Seop‘s acting is on point and Kim Se Jeong has become one of my favourite actresses.
So, if you‘re looking for something light-hearted, funny and romantic, you should definitely watch this drama! I highly recommend it.

Tropey without cringe
Is it a trope overdone? Yes. But is it still done beautifully? Yes. It's the perfect rom-com watch. This one's for the light silly rom-com watchers.Good things:
1. If you want to watch attractive people being attractive this is a perfect watch. It's a treat to the eyes.
2. Easy going plot with a fun storyline. It's been done too many times yet this was so worth the watch.
3. The outfits, the fashion, makeup everything on point. It's not over flashy but very beautiful.
4. The bromance and sisterhood in this was splendid and fun to watch. So chaotic.
5. The grandfather was so caring and the grandson granddad relationship was good too.
6. I personally loved the soundtrack, but to each their own.
7. Both the couples chemistry was FIRE. The second couple was next level
8. No toxicity. Even that one character that competes with the second lead was just more funny than annoying.
Bad Things:
1. 12 episodes, felt short and the ending is a little rushed.
2. If anyone's looking for something different or deep this is definitely not it. It's just cliches after cliche.
Interesting things
There's a drama going parallelly with the original drama in the story, it was pretty interesting . Almost as if it was making fun of itself.

Omaygat, I think there are only Chinese dramas that highlight good looks and beauty. It turns out that I also encountered this scene in the drama "Business Proposal"
Overall, the Korean drama "Business Proposal" is indeed similar to Chinese dramas such as the dramas "Love in Time" and "Be with You" which are studded with accidental, coincidental and 'magic' scenes.
What is meant by magic is an unreasonable scene like, suddenly Shin Ha Ri opens an umbrella for Kang Tae Moo, even though his hands were empty before, he didn't bring an umbrella. ️
There is also a coincidental scene that ends in a cliché like when Shin Ha Ri is afraid that her grandfather, Kang Tae Moo, who is desperate to defecate, pulls each other on the door handle and ends up falling for the grandfather.
The grandfather is the owner of an international company, you know, why isn't he escorted until he gets the right facilities? ️
But.., because the drama "Business Proposal" is studded with beautiful and handsome stars, I really recommend watching it for entertainment and not to be annoyed.😃😃
Very happy to see the acting and beauty of Seol In-A who once played the role of Jo Hwa-Jin in Mr. Queen, who formed a friendship with the beautiful Kim Se-Jeong
And the bromance between the handsome Kim Min-Kyu and Ahn Hyo-Seop.
That is, the drama could present a story that does not make sense. However, it is obligatory to provide maximum entertainment for the audience.

The drama that started it all
It all started with an edit of Kim Min Gue taking off his glass, and the rest is history. This is the first Korean drama I ever watched and when I tell you I was flabbergasted, awestruck, blown-away, etc... is an understatement. The cliches and tropes were so perfect! The chemistry was chemistrying! Just so in love with this show.Was this review helpful to you?
Unique feel-good rom-com
I usually don't enjoy rom-coms, but I couldn't stop watching this. It kept me engaged from beginning to the end. It's the first drama in a while where I didn't lose interest after a few episodes. It was an unexpected and interesting twist on known tropes, with none of the cringe moments or annoying characters that usually turn me off rom-coms. I loved the personalities of the main leads. I really loved the friendships and family bonds. The humor was hilarious. The perfect show to brighten up a long week.Was this review helpful to you?
The best kdrama to watch if you're boring
This kdrama is so funny and the storyline is very light ! It's giving a peaceful vibes and I'm sure you will enjoy a lot.As someone who love romance like business and ceo this kdrama really made me OVER THE MOON ! Especially the black card ohohohoho.
Not to forget the female lead with her bestie, their acting really cute and the friendship is so lovely. No wonder why my friend act like that! I realised she gimme the same energy.
This kdrama literally rooted on my watch list for a few years~ Finally take a look and it's not disappointing. The hype is valid!

Gives hope for a pink dream )
Such a plot has always been relevant and gives girls hope, but .. in reality, this is a rarity .. although, the Koreans are trying to show us the opposite? )
I liked it)) although sometimes YunSo and ShinHari behaved like fools (I don’t understand how such stupid behavior can be cute 😳(I see that in dramas , they (directors ) like to make the main character naive and not smart about relationships) but, in general, they shot not bad ... too pink dreams ahha impossibly so it’s even sad sometimes (let’s return to reality, in reality everyone is looking for a rich girl or a stupid and beautiful one) ... But if you still close your eyes to reality .., then the plot is beautiful) sometimes too much (when Kang Tae Mu flaunts in front of her friends, to impress them more and "save her face " ) but this is more of a Korean mentality , guessing
Ahn HyuSeop played well as always! He is so cool ( his game is amazing !!! 10 points out of 10 for him! ) He plays amazing !!! I like so much see his acting ))) Only the hairstyle doesn’t really suit him, in Abyss it was cooler (to his face) I think it’s good that they did 12 episodes and not more, everything is thought out and not drawn out, I recommend))

A romcom done right!
This has everything I want in a rom-com K-drama. It's funny, flirty, fast-paced and surprisingly heartfelt. The chemistry between the leads is electric, but the second couple... they deliver it! The pacing keeps you hooked without dragging. It balances light-hearted comedy with just enough emotion to make it memorable. It’s one of those rare dramas that knows exactly what it is and does it so well. A total comfort watch. I’d rewatch it in a heartbeat!Was this review helpful to you?

a little late to the trend but i made it :)
omg this show has been on my watch list for a while now and i somehow binged it in 2 days. the first night watching the first 2 episodes was so fun!! i was giggling sm!! i love the overall vibe of it and i finally didn't spoil it for myself by watching edits (i love doing that btw) all of the characters are so loveable even if they do smth bad bc its like, "yes i want to hate them, but they have such a good vibe!" i kinda wish that shim ha-ri told kang tae-moo her identity earlier but him falling for her anyway was luck tbh. cha sung-hoon and jin young-seo were so adorable and they need their own show asap bc i felt like they didn't have enough screentime :( also when cha sung-hoon wasn't upset at jin young-seo bc she forgot abt their steamy night, and he was like, "i'll make sure this time you won't forget." i was like, "oh this man can get it fr!!" tae-moo and ha-ri's relationship was so so healthy omg i need that. the fact that they balance each other out is so satisfying to watch and its an example people need to relate back to. overall i would give this show a 9.5 just bc there was so much filler minutes and people i didn't care to pay attention to.Was this review helpful to you?
