A Business Proposal (2022)

pure serotonin

You know that feeling when you feel both empty and sated after watching your favourite drama? That's me right now, after this masterpiece. I cannot recommend it enough. "A Business Proposal" has everything you'd ever need and more and honestly a story hasn't made me smile and laugh this much in a while now. For that I am forever grateful to this show: the beautifully developed characters, achingly cute romance, and let's not forget Samantha and Rachel everyone. It had me wheezing and cackling at ungodly hours of the day because the comedy is on peak. All the actors chosen are perfect and safe to say I'm in love with all 4 main leads. My only regret is that I wish we got a steamy office scene like the one on the cover :/

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, is that if you haven't watched this drama, you need to, and if you did but didn't like it, please, purchase yourself a life.

One of the best dramas, really

Let me start that I watched this drama half a year ago (if not more) and I just love it. Beautifully done when it comes to the set design itself, the story is also not bad. It's beautiful! ❤ I've already watched it 2 or 3 times! It's so addictive to watch that you can't put it down. I can't describe it myself, but I'll try..

Friend of the main character, has dates arranged by someone from the family (probably dad, but I don't remember exactly and I don't want to give false information) At first, Shin Ha-ri (the main character) does not agree, but at the persuasion of money, she goes on a date with Taemoo. Blah blah blah so she pretends to be a weird chick to get rid of him as soon as possible but he's starting to get more interested.

I don't want to say more, because it could be taken as a spoiler, and I don't want this comment to be like that.

Actually the story is very mainstream. and too many coincidences between the relationships of the 4 main characters. But the visual and chemistry of the cast are good. they match very well and manage to make my heart flutter when watching their love story.

The part that I like is when Shin Hari and Kang taemo dated and she became the best girlfriend. she was so concerned about Taemo's condition who was traumatized by the rain.

This drama also has a humorous scene that is quite funny. I recommend this drama for people who want to watch a light story that gives you a butterfly effect in stomach

Proud to say the was a good watch

My sister and I watched the first episode together and quit watching it because episode 1 was kinda boring at first. I had to take a moment say “this show can’t be that bad right?” so I tried again by myself to see. I’m so glad right when I hit episode 2 it got so entertaining because I was laughing my butt off at 3:00am in the morning watching the rest of the show. Moment after moment of entertainment and tension keeped me watching. I also really loved the fact that everyone was funny which doesn’t happen in a lot of shows I’ve watched. I do wish the ending was better but overall Business Proposal was a great show and it changed my mind after just one episode. I can also say that I probably will watch it again because it was that good.

Great first half, boring second half

This is my first kdrama review ever, so please don't judge my words too harshly hehe.
Honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this drama. The acting, the humor, the cast chemistry were good enough to entertain and made me not think about various plot holes and romcom cliches. I even LOLed at a couple of moments.

However, it kind of went downhill in the second half. The writing got lazy and the predictability of the plot was almost annoying; the FL seemed to have lost most of her personality. Most of the episodes seemed like a filler, and the major conflicts introduced in the second half just felt very artificial. I think the drama could have wrapped up sooner if it didn't try to get all serious towards the end and would have still been just as good, if not better.

Overall, unless you are a huge fan of romcom/romantic kdramas, my suggestion would be to skip it.

ALL FOR SELECTION OF THE BRIDE

We got this genre of drama a lot, nothing is new. But the execution is different, a marriage proposal after the first blind date because Kang Tae-Mu (Ahn Hyo-Seop) just wouldn't bother with the 'wife selection dating' scheme his grandfather strive to excel. The best of this drama is the family dynamic, a loving and kind grandfather that want everything the best for his grandson, and an adoptive grandson that he doted on. Shin Ha-Ri (Kim Se-Jeong) though kind of over reacting the whole 'disguise' or pretense situation, her acting kind of fake by covering face with her hair....all the stupid she did just to cover herself from disaster and I think that's the down part of this drama. The friendship between Shin Ha-Ri and Jin Young-seo were great, that's the kind of friendship that we all want. The brotherhood love between Kang Tae-Mu and Cha Sung-hoon were awesome, there's no bitterness that came between their position, after work ended they're just as close as brothers.

Otherwise, it's funny and entertaining.

Good chemistry!!!

Absolutely a great show loved everything about it. I also loved the second couple and their story. I like how Hari wasn't your typical female lead and she stuck for herself when the grandpa wanted them to break up and she said what she said. The character I didn't like was Minwoo. Like dude, you telling me y'all been friends for 7 years and didn't notice she had a crush on you like he was a walking red flag, and his girlfriend who I couldn't stand either for trying to that Hari was 2-timing Minwoo and Taemoo all because your relationship was going back. For the second lead, I loved them a lot together. I liked how Sunghoon stayed with her even though her father was against them being together. Now that's true love right there. I also like how Taemoo also stayed with Hari even though his grandfather said no. I liked the final episode a wedding would've been nice since both couples were engaged by the end of the show. But this is one of the best shows Ive watched this far in 2022 so I recommend this show.

Somewhere in between painful to watch and a really well done drama, but I still enjoyed it!

For the first three episodes of this series, I really didn't enjoy it at all and found it insanely cringey. For some reason though, I decided to give it a chance and continue, and I'm really glad I did!
Although there were still parts that made me cringe, and moments that just felt awkward, there were also plenty of wholesome, meaningful and emotional parts in the story. The characters were all developed really well I think, and although sometimes the romance felt a bit rushed, overall the relationships between all of them felt really genuine.
I wouldn't run around recommending to watch it, but if you're thinking of it, definitely do!

I've heard about the general plot of this drama during SBS Drama Awards and to be honest the setting was quite interesting. Though I never thought that the story would end up being so cute!

I knew about Ahn Hyoseop from Red Sky so I expect him to be great as the main lead. But dang, if I thought he was such a charmer before... I can't even describe my thoughts about him now. Taemoo was really an adorable character and Hyoseop really excel in bringing out Taemoo's many charms as well as inner turmoil. I never thought this drama could be so adorable with all the chaebol tropes as well as the many cliches but here we are.

I've seen quite a number of dramas Sejeong was in, and I have to say... it's about time we see her in a proper romcom. Like the last time I see her work was I wanna hear your song and that was more a mystery thriller rather than romcom. I love the fact the Hari was written to be so quirky since that kinda traits fit Sejeong's character so well.

I really enjoyed the story and the comedy and I have to say, I wished that the drama could be longer. Like the two main couples were very cute and easy on the eyes and the grandfather was cute and even Youngseo's cousin was charming. And I love how the drama also include a makjang parody which was quite in contrast with the main romcom storyline. I wouldn't be surprised if Hyoseop gonna win Best Couple this year for the third year in a row www

A romantic comedy series starring Kim Sejeong is most definitely always a must-watch! Kim Sejeong, with her perfect facial expressions, portrayed Shin Hari admirably capturing the hearts of millions of viewers.

Ahn Hyoseop, on the other hand, portraying Kang Taemoo was so new and refreshing to me. It was my first time seeing him take on the role of a chaebol. However, I think Ahn Hyoseop delivered the character well despite the negative reviews about his acting. I was also impressed by how fluent he was in English, but then I remembered he's Canadian haha

But what I really love most about this series is the adorable chemistry between the 4 main leads. They all got great chemistry with each other: Taemoo and Hari, Sunghoon and Youngseo, Taemoo and Sunghoon, and Hari and Youngseo.

Hari and Youngseo's friendship was my favorite. It felt like they've really known each other for a long time, almost developing the same personality with each other.
