O Iubire ca-n Afaceri (2022)

❤❤❤ Perfect Rom-com ❤❤❤ A masterpiece !

I hesitated for a long time before watching this drama, because I'm a little tired of Office Romances and the cold and arrogant CEO plot / poor but warm FL.

Eventually, I watch it for Ahn Hyo Seop.

And I haven't regretted it at any moment. It's almost a masterpiece of its kind, almost PERFECT.

- The rhythm is lively, with a total mastery of the balance humour/romance/emotion.

- The story is realistic (the CL is a bit like Mary Sue & Gary Stu :) anyway) but the whole thing is brought to life by great actors.
The FL is smart, strong (it changes nicely) and the ML brilliantly achieves the Hate=>love evolution. Honestly, we all dream of a lover like that...
The secondary characters are well developed and endearing: the best friend, the assistant (the CL2) are adorable and touching; Grand father ; the members of Team 1; etc
I haven't developed a 2LS for the friend of the love triangle, who is annoying with his indecision, his blandness. But the actor is great in this role to have interpreted such a borring character.
There are no evil characters, the bad-evil-selfish girl ready to do anything for her interests (the chef's girlfriend remains more or less within the malevolent standards).

- Technically too, it's excellent! The special effects and sound effects give spice to the scenes, the OSTs are catchy.

Conclusion: don't miss this drama if you want to relax, dream a little and smile (a lot)!

J'ai longuement hésité avant de regardé ce drama, car je suis un peu fatiguée des Office Romances et du plot CEO froid et arrogant / FL pauvre mais chaleureuse.

Finalement, je me suis lancée pour Ahn Hyo Seop.

Et je ne l'ai pas regretté un instant. C'est quasiment un chef d’œuvre du genre, presque PARFAIT.

- Le rythme est vif, avec une totale maitrise de l'équilibre humour/ romantisme/émotion.

- La story est réaliste (le CL est un peu Mary & Peter Sue :) quand même)mais l'ensemble est mis en vie par de supers acteurs.
La FL est intelligente, forte (ça change agréablement) et le ML réalise avec brio l'évolution Hate=>love. Franchement, on rêve toutes d'un lover comme ça...
Les personnages secondaires sont bien développés et attachants : la meilleure amie, l'assistant (le CL2) sont adorables et touchants ; le grand-père ; les membres de la Team 1 ; etc.
Je n'ai pas développé de 2LS pour l'ami du triangle amoureux, qui est énervant avec son indécision, ses atermoiements perpétuels. Mais c'est tout le talent de l'acteur d'avoir interprété un tel personnage.
Il n'y a pas evil characteres, peste prête à tout pour ses intérêts (la girlfriend du chef cuisinier reste à peu près dans les normes malveillantes).

- Techniquement aussi, c'est excellent ! Les effets spéciaux et bruitages donnent du piquant aux scènes, les OST sont entrainantes.

Conclusion : ne ratez pas ce drama si vous voulez vous détendre, rêver un peu et sourire (beaucoup) !

Web comic drama done right!!

I won't reiterate what many people have said about this drama because honestly there are so many great things.

I want to get at the drama's ability to embrace its absurdity. A lot of rom-com dramas fail to recognize that their plot is ridiculous and absurd, A Business Proposal takes the ridiculousness of its plot and runs with it. Like come on, Rich ML/Poorer FL, contract relationship, narcissistic ML, and hard-working FL are all classic pillars of K-Drama fluff. However, A Business Proposal rids itself of all the boring and eye-roll-inducing parts of fluff drama, no drawn-out miscommunication, no overly controlling ML/weak and indecisive FL, and most importantly NO TAKING ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. I have watched countless dramas that drag themselves out by adding unnecessary parental or past drama that adds nothing to the fluff piece that everyone was watching for.

This drama takes the advice I scream into my computer with at almost every other drama, "THE PLOT IS RIDICULOUS, EMBRACE IT!!!"

I'm not hating any of the actors , i'm just saying my review about it , and thanks .

Like everyone knows , this drama is still airing and it will end the next week after airing four more episodes . We don't know yet the end and what's going to happen at the last ep . So , basically , I started watching this drama after it aired 4 ep . My frien kept talking about it and she really liked the main couple and the story so I tried to give it a try . It was funny to watch it but I didn't like it that much 'cause it's like every classiqye drama trope . Anyway , without any spoilers , I'm just watching it just for thee second couple (seong-hun & young-seo) because they suit each other so much amd making it so easy for me to watch it .
These days , Ithink I've know why I didn't like this drama very much ; because almost every kdrama I've watched it is action , thiller and melodrama genre . So maybe it didn't suit me that much .
Thanks for reading my review and I hope it helped you !!

It was cute in the beginning but now.....

Some scenes are cringe and the love story is too fast. In the beginning Shin Ha Ri acting as Jin young Seo was awesome, it was giving me that feeling to keep watching, but then Kang Tae Mu started to like Shin Ha Ri a bit to fast. I overall like the drama, but at places it just doesn't make sense. Especially their first kiss. Shin Ha Ri fell on Kang Tae Moo. That was so cringe and unrealistic. Plus I still don't understand, why Kang tae Moo sued that secret video maker. By doing that it was JIN YEOUNG SEO he helped, not SHIN HA RI. But it's good overall, just lacks that factor which motivates me to keep watching. And the second lead couuple is the best stress reliever ~~~ Gosh I love them<<<<<<3 If you dont want to watch this because of main couple, watch it for the secound lead couple.

I LOVE THIS DRAMA AND IM GONNA MISS IT SM

Usually i don't enjoy watching dramas as their airing because i'm impatient and i don't like to wait LOL but seriously watching this drama weekly as it came out was one of my best decisions. The chemistry between Tae-moo and Ha-ri had me crying on the floor everytime i watched the episode. The romance is really fast-paced as there are only 12 episodes but to be honest i didn't even notice, so i'm sure a lot of people will also enjoy the shenanigans these two cuties get up to together! Furthermore Sung-Hoon and Yeong-seo, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM. I usually have no interest in second lead couples but these two were adorable, i was giggling everytime they came up, in love <3 The friendship/bromance/sismance between the lead and second lead couple was to die for, made me so happy to watch them! Lastly, BYUNGCHAN!!!!!! IM GONNA MISS THIS SHOW SO FREAKING MUCHHH

Repetitive!

It started off very strong, funny, whatever in the first few episodes. Eventually, it became so repetitive it was hard to watch. They constantly got into hair-brained situations where they had to tell convoluted lies or dramatically hide themselves. When the FL kept putting her hair over her face in front of the chairman for the first half of the show it pissed me off! When she refused to come out of the bathroom and pushed him down with the door... so frustrating to watch. Just chill out!!! The writers just kept reusing the same plot events over and over, it was so boring by the end.

The ML had two moods: immature/defensive and smug. He delivers all of his lines with the same cadence... and the fact that he kept taking her on dates but coming up with a work excuse, like 5 times. He gave me the ick.

I did like the grandpa/chairman, and the meta motif of the chairman's drama he was watching (and how it was the same stupid plot of the actual drama).

So many things going on... fake identity to fake dating... too much happening.

COMMON THEME AND UNLIKELY CHEMISTRY

i have a lot of expectation on this drama since i enjoy rom-coms... but after watching half of the 12-part series, i dropped it. First, i don't like the chemistry and acting of the two leads, i appreciated the 2nd leads more actually. Secondly , the story line is so common and expected. A usual "cinderella " theme type of drama. Maybe , its because I watched Twenty-One, Twenty-Five first, where I appreciated the chemistry and acting of the two leads there, wherein, the leads of this drama failed to show in my opinion.

Story wise, "A Business Proposal" has an obvious turn about of events and a noticeable "awkwardness" between the the two leads, which gives me the feeling of discontent, thus, ending up dropping the rest of the episodes.

One of the Best Rom-Coms ever!!

A Business Proposal, if not the best, is one of the best romantic comedies you can ever watch. Its romance and comedy are on point. And no matter how many clichés we've watched, they'll probably never be enough. ABP has all our beloved clichés. You name it, ABP has it.
One of the reasons why this was great is the fact that it was never unnecessarily dragged. The story went in the right pace and we didn't have to wait a lot of episodes to see things get in line. Mondays were never as enjoyable as they were the 6 weeks this aired. Its only flaw was that it was just 12 episodes long and maybe for the same reason, *minor spoiler* the ending seemed to have been rushed a little.
The acting was fantastic. Whether it was Ahn Hyo Seop, Kim Se Jeong, Kim Min Gue or Seol In Ah, everyone was perfect in their roles. There's lots of chemistry between the couples and also bromance and sismance that shouldn't be missed. The rest of the cast was amazing too. The soundtracks were all good but Love, Maybe is addictive. The direction, cinematography etc. were all very nicely done.
I'd recommend this a 100% !!!
If you're looking for a light-hearted show with not too much drama, A Business Proposal is what you need.
Happy Viewing :)

Beloved romcom tropes done brilliantly

This show proves that when you take well-known storylines and write them well, the result can be delightful. Throw in an incredibly likable and talented cast and you have magic.

Business Proposal is an ice cream sundae of a show with a sweet delicious cherry on top, and I am enjoying every minute of it. The second leads are just as delightful as the main characters, too! I'm sad this show is only 12 episodes, but I also realize that if they made it a full 16 episodes and delved more fully into some of the characters and their backstories it would take away part of what makes this show so much fun.

I am sad this show is almost over but I look forward to rewatching whenever I've had a bad day.

Well Worth the Watch

I so enjoyed this Kdrama, it had literally had so many funny moments in it, at first I thought another boss / love story but this was a little better and had more humor in it.

This drama started with a bang and continued and the reason for this is that this drama is that it's fun and easy to watch, you will be swooning over the romance. whether it's the first lead or second lead, this drama is filled with amazingly passionate couple chemistry and makes this drama so swoon-worthy... A drama can't be any more cliché than this one, but the comic side of this drama is what kept going.

The cast were amazing, especially the main couples and the second main couples were just as funny if not more, you have a strong friendship between the two guys, and even stronger friendship between the girl, they each have they own story or funny moments but at the same time they always come together and be there for each other, you have a Grandfather who is so funny and determined but at the same time acceptable.

I did like the fact that it was 12 episode as opposed to the normal 16, however there are 1 hour long (which can be drag at times for Kdrama) but this was well worth the hours watched, the pacing was good and moved along really well.

Also the supporting actors in this drama. They were fun to watch. Be it the ML's grandfather or the FL's family members or coworkers. They all were a joy to watch on the screen. Especially the women of this drama were just too cute. A special shout out to Seo Hye Won and Im Ki Hong's characters. They both were just too good.

There are many other reasons to watch the drama which you would only know if you start this drama. So don't give a second thought and start this drama. As I assure you won't be wasting your time.

Overall: 110% Recommend
