It's okay to be Cliche sometimes
If I had to explain this drama in one word then it would be "Cliched" . You might found every cliched romantic element in this drama. Someone might find plot similarities among "Married,not Dating" ,"What's wrong with secretary Kim" ,"1% of everything" etc. A self obsessed,filthy rich,highly educated boss, some legal agreements regarding marraige,not so rich employee under that handsome boss(protagonist),happy second lead couple,confessions while drunk; actually the most common elements of a romantic Kdrama could be found here. Yes!! it is justified since it is the cliche one .Obviously compromisations were made in the cinematography otherwise it couldn't get such ratings from respected other reviewers. Similarities in the plot might be found,like feeling romantic beside Han river,enjoying inside an amusement park. It is not a new thing for Kdramas. The way it was plotted , fresh warm romance could be found in ,either beside a beach or in a gloomy rainy day.So you might feel refreshed after watching such moments and would love to fell for your beloved once again. BUT END OF THE DAY YOU CANT SKIP ANY EPISODES . I have found this most cliched Kdrama a binge worthy one.
There are a lot of comic reliefs in this drama greatly weaved with some steamy intimate scenes as well. Importantly we have seen Kim Se Jeong in The Uncanny Counter as a tough actress ,it was balanced properly with her tenderness in acting in this drama .

Clichés, clichés and more clichés
Very fun drama to watch on days when you don't want to tire your mind with heavy and dramatic stories. Classic romantic kdrama with rich ceo ML and ordinary girl FL. And of course there is a 2nd ML just not interesting as it usually is. And as I said in the title, it's very cliche story, but done right so it doesn't get to boring personally.What I didn't like is how toxic dating is. ML forces FL into relationship (literally by contract lol), forcefully kisses her without consent and its a classic narcissistic guy who changes because of her. The second romantic pair also doesn't sit right with me. They have one night stand, comunication is of course nowhere to be seen and engaged within 2 months!
Not rewatching any time soon tho. It gets repetitive after a while. Good thing it only has 12ep, not 16. But overall, it's a fun drama.

not worth the hype
its a romcom cliche . the story is so much like the fanfics you will read in wattpad. the acting was good and overall its a cutesy drama. the story is not intesnse and its pretty laughable with few cringe moments. but i dont think its that good, and i dont undertsnad its hype. its old romcom and if it was released when i was 10 year old then maybe i would have loved it but now, story matters a lot and this is just not it. the story is very repitative, main lead with childhood trauma, poor fenale lead, gets together because she needs money, male lead is not romantic but falls in love w her. i think you can watch it if u need a break from instense dramas and want to watch something light-hearted.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
The situations that Ha Ri find herself in are hilarious and Tae Moo's unusual responses to her antics make for comedy gold. ABP is rom-com done right, and is lighthearted despite all the clichés. The secondary couple isn't too shabby either, and their story is also endearing. Other characters are also multi-dimensional, and I especially liked Tae Moo's grandfather who is a hoot. Love, love this drama.

Meu doraminha, meu casalzinho, meu mundinho.
Saudade infinita tenho do tempo que passei juntinha com essa perfeição. Amo doramas psicológicos que tratam de temas sérios e importantes, mas também sou cadelinha de doramas que simplesmente são feitos para te fazer sorrir, se apaixonar e ter um momento de esquecer tudo de cansativo que está acontecendo na sua vida. E esse drama foi tudo isso pra mim.Não negarei que a razão de eu ter decidido acompanhar o lançamento de A Business Proposal foi a Sejeong, mas depois de conhecer o Ahn Hyo Seop e o restante do elenco, meus motivos de enfrentar a espera árdua por cada episódio só aumentaram. Mas apesar disso, a proposta do drama já me encantou de cara e somado ao elenco perfeito só finalizou com chave de diamante o sucesso. A atuação, a trilha sonora, o enredo , os personagens, nenhum deles me desapontaram!
Estou aqui com o meu chá esperando uma segunda temporada... CUIDA COREIA!

Mood Boosting Fun Time
If you're looking for a mood boosting fun time, you've come to the right place!❤ I'm pretty sure you will see a picture of Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Se Jeong if you look up the word "chemistry" in the dictionary. Also probably Kim Min Gue and Seol In Ah. All of these actors had spades of chemistry with each other, and I was here for it.
❤ The friendships between the characters were literally everything. I loved how the best friends of the main characters have their own utterly beautiful romance.
❤ Kim Se Jeong as Shin Ha Ri was riveting. Someone likened her to Emma Stone, and I 100% agree. She played Ha-ri with such charm and vulnerability that I couldn't help but fall in love with the actress and the character.
❤ The supporting cast was absolutely brilliant. Even the characters with little screen time somehow made their scenes shine.
❤ The last episode was a bit disappointing. I felt like the show back peddled on some of the smart decisions made by characters to make it seem more "drama" filled than it needed to be. I perhaps might have enjoyed it more if I had not been watching it live - I think my expectations became too big with the wait between episodes.

Hilarious office romance
Hilarious office rom-com and the spiritual successor to “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?” A woman goes on a marriage-prospective blind date with a chaebol heir in place of her friend, with the intent to scare him off. The man is 100% work-focused and figures that if he just marries the first woman he meets, then he won’t have to waste time on further blind dates, right? Additional complication: He’s the president of the company she actually works for at her day job, which means that they could run into each other at…any…time. Cue “avoid him at all costs” hijinks.The female lead is hilarious. The secondary couple is equally, if not more adorable than the lead couple, and I could happily set up camp and live in the secondary male lead’s dimples. Friendship between the female lead and her absolute warrior queen BFF is affirming and life-giving and makes me appreciate my empowering female friends so very much. The male lead’s drama-loving (and drama-causing) grandpa is my favorite, and I would pay a substantial amount of actual money to see an entire special episode consisting solely of scenes between Drama Grandpa and Chaotic Female Lead.

All well that ends well
Business Proposal is your typical office rom-com with employee boss love affair that starts on a wrong note, but eventually gets synched by the end. What works with Business proposal are the characters, and I mean both the couples.I won't say this is the best rom-com in the recent times that I have seen, given that there were innumerable cliche points, however Business proposal still proves to be effective with it's charming characters and the comedy moments that happens time and time again.
Kim Se Jeong was too good and adorable to watch. The drama didn't only shown relationship of a couple, but a strong bromance and womance throughout the show. The soundtrack was decent that matched well with the moments.
To summarise, Business Proposal is a delightful drama that minimizes weighty issues and major conflicts in favor of a comfortable plot and endearing characters. Plus, there are two lead couples worth rooting for. Although it's not the best I have seen, but it's worth a watch.
My Rating : 7.5/10

Really Sweet!
I have a lot of positive things to say about A Business Proposal. Perhaps I should first of all make out that the series isn’t supposed to be overly original or new. It’s a cliche premise of the hardworking female lead meets the uptight CEO but there are some surprisingly different takes on the cliche which didn’t feel overly enforced or boring.I have loved most of Ahn and Kim’s previous projects and so to seem them starring side by side was really sweet. I also want to give a special mention to rising actor Kim Min Gue who played second ML Cha Sung Hoon. His performance was really captivating alongside his onscreen chemistry with Seol In Ah.
Maybe my few downsides did come with limited screen time. There were a lot of things going on here with characters which just weren’t taken any further after their mention. ( Such as the whole issue with In Ah moving out and her relationship with her dad, or Sung Hoon’s circumstances.) Maybe it’s just me but it felt as though it could’ve been a really easy thing to fix if the screen time had been spread better. ( Especially the ending. It was rushed.)
Overall not a bad show. Really sweet and fluffy but if that’s what you’re looking for then you will like it.

A Perfect Execution of Classic Tropes
As is the trend in kdramas throughout history, this show could be described by some as a collection of tropes, strung together to create a coherent narrative. Usually, that's the sort of thing I really despise, but the way they pulled it off in this show lends me some sympathy. Excellent acting, efficient humor, and an engaging plot line makes this a most effective guilty pleasure. It also helps that they took the liberty to innovate here and there and was ever so slightly more progressive than some of its older counterparts. For those familiar with the kdrama scene, there isn't much more to say.The Korean drama industry has come a long way over the decades, and that is apparent in the level of shows they make today. Flawless production and incredible acting are becoming a given, and I'm here for it. And, while a bit of repetition in the soundtrack is unavoidable due to its length, and the plot was somewhat forgettable overall, it still managed to hold my attention to the end. I think ending the show after 12 episodes was actually a really good idea; it felt like a natural place to end things without spinning up some miscellaneous plot contrivances.
Although the premise is basically a bundle of tropes (office romance, contract relationship, rich guy-poor girl, and more!?) there was some innovation here and there. As with most shows of this type, the uniqueness really shines through the side characters and the second lead. I was also very appreciative that the female lead was actually good at her job (huh!?) and the male lead wasn't an arrogant jerk (a trope which, in my opinion is a little too tired). The family relationships for the chaebols was also well executed and somewhat unique. In the end, shows like these are carried by the actors, the production, and the character dialogue, and Business Proposal pulled through on all fronts. Don't except anything too profound, but I do recommend this show.
