Sh**ting Stars is about an entertainment company's PR leader, Oh Hanbyul (FL), the company's top star actor, Gong Taesung (ML), as well as the push-and-pull between them! It also explores the entertainment industry in various meta ways.
Ways Sh**ting Stars reminds me of Business Proposal:
- Workplace drama, with ML being FL's superior (sort of? he is her top "client")
- ML & FL's dynamic reminds me of Business Proposal EP 5's dynamic! A bit of hate-to-love, Tom and Jerry shenanigans
- Pretty big cast of characters, with multiple love lines. The coworkers are a big part of the drama!
- Similar penchant for slapstick-esque comedy, both very funny shows
- The relationship also faces some external pressure, since ML is a celebrity (similar to Taemu having to face pressure from his granddad)
- FL is very competent at her job
Ways Sh**ting Stars differs from Business Proposal:
- The industry is different, and the power structure is also a bit different. Sh**ting Stars is about the entertainment industry, so prominent themes deal with fame, public relations, fandom and so on. Business Proposal features a food company, and themes have more to do with family, identity and so on. Taesung (ML) is the entertainment company's top star, as in the biggest earner. He isn't the owner of the company, and he still has bosses to report to. He is also very famous and has a lot of fans' eyes on him. Taemu is the CEO, and the only person he reports to is his grandpa. Though he still receives pressure as the CEO, in terms of how the company performs, he's in significantly less public scrutiny.
- There's no fake-dating/false identities
- FL's family isn't really in the show
- No meet-cute in ep 1 because ML and FL have known each other for a long time
- While the humor is similar, there's more melodrama/makjang vibes
If you're looking for that Tom and Jerry vibe and a show that'll make you cry with laughter, try Sh**ting Stars!
