Lighthearted TYPICAL KDRAMA but still feels refreshing

●FIRST IMPRESSION
As the title says BUSINESS PROPOSAL, I thought of possible Kdrama cliché I.e. contract relationship, accidental kiss, childhood trauma, boss-employee relationship, the secondary couple are leads friends and all my expectations of cliché Kdrama rom-com are fulfilled. Despite that BUSINESS PROPOSAL is heartwarming as hell.

●PLOT VIEW
My concept of love is that there is never love at first sight, it is just attraction of the outer beauty. For love to be true, it always progresses slowly, They embrace each other flaws and appreciate the charms. when the two people are destined together with each encounter loves turns into slow burn passion. Shin Ha-Ri and Kim Tae-Mu had a chance encounter but as they come to know each other they romantically fall for each other.
As the title says BUSINESS PROPOSAL, the contract relationship seemed basic for the plot development. SHR has a secret and KTM is a workaholic signing them into a contact relationship making them meet and greet and also giving out cheesy office romance. For a few episodes, KTM is seen as tsundere but ends up being warm and soft to contrast SHR's lively personality. KTM fulfilling his filial duties by getting married as his grandfather wished, he didn’t want to lose the person he likes is the most charming shows his guts and persistence as a man.

Cha Sung-Hoon and Jin Young-Seo made a pretty good secondary couple without overlapping or creating confusion in the leads' love story. They were great supporting friends.
The series is fast-paced to unveil its story in 12 episodes. despite its compact episodes, it had few unnecessary plot fillers of office people and others. The drama is lighthearted without losing its theme, and gives unexpected twists and turns in the love story of the leads.

●ACTING/CAST
Let me talk about my favorite first,
Ahn Hyo Seop as KTM, his young and slender body with sleek hairstyle was a typical Kdrama CEO character. AHS outshined his annoying expression with cold eyes. He had a playful and unpredictable personality. This is the 2nd drama of AHY I completed, in the initial episodes I didn’t recognize him, he looked super different and that makes him an amazing actor, playing a character that gives a different visual.
Kim Se Jeong as Shin Ha Ri watched her for the first time. She was a strong-willed, amazing friend. Her portrayal of Shin Geum-Hi was amusing.
The grandfather of KTM is like a big teddy bear I wanna hug. being a typical Kdrama lover he made a lasting impression.

●MUSIC
The theme music for KTM is my favorite. His gleaming eyes and fossil bird flying to the music are so apt.
Though I enjoyed the OSTs they aren't memorable as they are not played much. Unlike the other Kdrama where an OST is repeatedly played until one gets bored.

●REWATCH
I would rewatch the drama as the story is also lighthearted and the lead pair did an amazing job.

●APPRECIATION
No love triangle.
No annoying Ex.

●FAV SCENE
The lead's first blind date. (Ep 1)

●RECOMMENDATION
If you like cheesy romance, typical Kdrama with rich ML, and poor FL troup, you should watch this drama.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
Love comes in unexpected ways!!! all we need to do is persist but never pressure. If the person is meant for you they will see the love and loyalty in your persistence. If not they will feel persistence as pressure hindering their daily lifestyle.
