This is now my favourite romcom drama ever.

It's RARE that I watch a drama while it's still airing, but A Business Proposal had me hooked since the first episode. I read the webtoon and was anticipating the release of this drama, and it certainly did not disappoint. This has now cemented itself as my favourite romcom drama ever, and with good reason! My husband loves it too, and he doesn't usually watch dramas with me!

1. Story
Fake dating turned secret office romance. It's tropey, sure, but the drama executed it so well! I'm not usually a fan of "fake" anything, but this was resolved very quickly and truths are revealed quite soon. In fact, a lot of the conflicts introduced within the episode are resolved by the end of the episode. Also, can we talk about how many tropes this drama subverts?? So many different tropes are introduced, but how the characters deal with them are unlike anything I've seen before. It results in so many hijinks and fun moments. This drama is so hilariously self-aware that it is refreshing to watch. EVERYTHING about this drama was refreshing to watch. I love how we get to see a very strong sismance and bromance. Ha-ri and Young-seo's friendship is so real. They're two strong, independent women who truly love and support each other. Then we have the bromance of Tae-moo and Sung-hoon. We see them act as boss/secretary, but also as two brothers who love to tease each other while still being each other's voice of reason (moreso in the case of Sung-hoon to Tae-moo, haha). And of course, the two love stories of our couples Ha-ri/Tae-moo and Young-seo/Sung-hoon are not to be discounted either! There were SO many swoon-worthy scenes that left me giggling and blushing. This drama has the TWO hottest scenes I've ever scene in a kdrama from recent memory.

2. Acting/Cast
Amazing. There was so much chemistry between all of the cast members that it almost felt voyeuristic watching the characters they play since it all felt SO REAL. It was like I was just looking on at someone's real life.

3. Music
Love the OST.

4. Rewatch Value
I mean... I kept rewatching previous episodes while waiting for the new ones to come out so I'd say rewatch value is a solid 10 out of 10! I can see myself rewatching this many more times in the future. This is the perfect drama to feel happy.

Overall, this was a wonderful drama and my new favourite. I am genuinely sad it is over. I can only hope we see the actors in more projects together. Their chemistry is unreal!!
