The perfect medicine to de-stress

I knew that this drama would be the one FOR me as soon as I saw its spoilers and short clips circulating all over social media.
Five minutes into episode one and suddenly your girl was on the hook.

I absolutely love business rom-coms and this was the treat I was looking for. It's a mix of She Was Pretty, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and The Secret Life of My Secretary, so if you liked any of those shows chances are you will enjoy A Business Proposal.

It is relatively short - only 12 episodes - which makes it a fast watch with no unnecessary typical K-drama cliche tropes like amnesia, a breakup or the whole "we used to know each other when we were children but then something dramatic happened and we lost touch".

I felt like the last few episodes were a little repetitive and dragged out the drama's general narrative. Having both Tae-moo's grandfather and Young-Seo's father disapprove of their children's relationship was a bit too much and got to a point where it was exhausting and boring to continue watching. I would have preferred if instead of dragging that out they would have added more double date scenes where both couples are spending the day together.

The female lead was very lovable. A lot of people said she was cringe-worthy but I found her hilarious, especially when she was pretending to be someone else in front of Tae-moo.

Tae-moo was oftentimes compared to Lee Young-Joon (Park Seo Joon's character in WWWSK) but I do not see the resemblance, mainly because Lee Young-Joon was unbearable, too into his looks and himself while Tae-moo was more down-to-earth.

The friendship dynamics between Tae-moo and Sung-hoon and Ha-ri and Yeong-soo were very well developed and I especially enjoyed the second couple.
