Business Proposal is one of the K-dramas that I watched when it was still ongoing. This is a very sweet and comedic drama. It is worth watching when you wanna relax and not think too much.

Ha-ri and her CEO

The plot of an ordinary employee falling in love with the CEO may sound overly cliche, but in BP, you will find a more complex story. One day, Ha-ri agreed to help Young-seo (her best friend who is a chaebol family's daughter) in taking her place on a blind date. The intention is clear: to be rejected by her date. But when Ha-ri finally met her date, he was taken aback because her blind date is Kang Taeo-moo. He is the CEO of the company she works for.

Kang Tae-mo is the most perfect and, shall we say, 'superficial' person you've ever met in a drama. He is wealthy, intelligent, and attractive, and he claims to be able to do anything. When his grandfather nagged him to marry soon, Tae-moo decided to marry whoever he meets on his first blind date—because he dislikes wasting his time. As a result, after meeting Ha-ri, who pretends to be Yeong-so, Tae-mo asks her to marry him.

Draw my attention from the very first time

I didn't have any expectations when I watched the first episode. I decided to watch this k-drama because it was on Netflix's top list, and not gonna lie, I don't regret it.

I really like how the author plots the story. One of the strongest points of this k-drama is its comedic side. I still remember how hard I laughed when Ha-ri said Tae-mo looks like an archaeopteryx. Then, many interactions between Ha-ri and her food department team provide a different side of comedy.

The conflict is actually quite simple. It discussed how their relationship affects their work as well as Tae-family mo's background. Fortunately, the majority of conflicts can be resolved amicably. Despite the fact that Ha-ri still needs to persuade Tae-mo's grandfather until the final episode.

Apart from Ha-ri and Tae-mo, my favourite couple would be Sung-Hoon and Youn-Seo. They are unquestionably my favourite. Their sweetness, as well as the way they admire each other, is something I adore. Yeong-seo's respect for Sung-hoon is impressive, as is Sung-hoon's respect for Yeong-seo. Not to mention that Sung-hoon is eager to assist Young-seo in growing her business. Argh, they're so perfect for each other.

The plus points

This k-drama has a lot of interesting parts. As an adaptation of the same-titled web novel, this drama is more dynamic and funnier. I tried reading the webtoon, but it's not as funny as the drama. As a result, I prefer drama more.

Then, as in other k-dramas, there's always a social issue to be resolved. We will discover the scam camera case for BP. It is well known that most sexual abuse cases, particularly those involving digital technology, are extremely difficult to report. We can learn from this drama that the legal route will not help the victim because the law is still a complete mess.

Another intriguing point is how the company works in the food industry. Ha-ri's job as a researcher is one that is rarely seen in other dramas. Her job, in my opinion, is very relatable to the majority of people. As a result, it may be able to inspire viewers who are still in college.

What I don't like...

Actually, it's not a big deal, but I had no idea this k-drama only had 12 episodes. When I watched the last episode, I still thought there would be enough time to solve all of the problems, but I was mistaken. The final episode, in my opinion, is a little rushed. Despite the fact that each of the conflicts has been resolved, it does not feel as smooth as I expected it to be. Sigh.

Yoo-ra and Min-ho are my least favourite characters. They were both such a pain. Their character is unlikable. Geez. I'm always tempted to throw something at them.

Conclusion

Business Proposal is a lovey-dovey drama that will satisfy your hopeless romantic side. This drama is so fluffy and won't give you a headache.

8 out of 10 stars.

Sincerely,
Ra
