O Iubire ca-n Afaceri (2022)

LOVE IT!!!

I cannot state how many times I have watched this. Great acting with both the main and supporting actors. I love how there was a consistent flow within this series. The soundtrack is A+. New's voice in Spring Breeze is simply heaven. The chemistry between the leads seems natural and earnest and not forced. I appreciate that it was 12 episodes. It was just right. The ending was a little 'cheesy'' and rushed. There were some real magical moments. When FL comes clean and how ML's face softens in the midst is so sweet. The hotel scene #1 (very cute), hotel scene #2 (very sexy). The first 'real' kiss - (special). These actors Ahn Hyo-seop, Kim Se-jeong, Kim Min-kyu, and Seol In-ah are definitely ones to watch. I truly loved this series. Must Watch!

A Delightful Romcom That Will Steal Your Heart: A Review

This drama is an utterly delightful romcom, a treat for fans of well-executed romantic clichés despite the somewhat predictable "relationship in jeopardy" trope. While I'll delve into that later, let's first highlight the film's strengths. The two leads truly shine, especially Kim Se Jeong as Shin Ha Ri. She brings genuine authenticity and charm to her role, forging a deep connection with the audience. Her clumsiness never fails to elicit laughter, and her interactions with Ahn Hyo Seop as Kang Tae Moo are both endearing and humorous.

I particularly enjoyed Ahn Hyo Seop’s embrace of the quintessential rich male lead tropes. It was delightfully old-school and silly, yet he delivered it perfectly. The supporting cast was equally amusing, from Young Seo's cousin's random English words to Tae Moo's grandfather's love of daytime dramas.

With just 12 episodes, the drama maintained a smooth flow with minimal fillers. However, towards the end, the unnecessary introduction of a "relationship in jeopardy" subplot, lacking strong writing and execution, detracted from the overall quality. This weakened the final two episodes, making the ending feel rushed and unfulfilling.

Overall, it's still a fantastic romcom for those interested in this genre.

Cute Contract Show

BUSINESS PROPOSAL (2022) is a Korean romance drama. It is heart warming story about two unlikely characters who find love, but the friendships in this show were some of the sweetest kdrama portrayals, and although the family relationships often took back burner, the family dynamics were sweet as well.

This show was a romantic drama, but is often very funny and laughable. Some of the side characters are very colorful and enjoyable, especially Ha-ri's bestie and coworkers.

While at times this series does have some controversial aspects with regards to female treatment by males, it's not something viewers won't expect or find too extreme either, though I did lower my rating a bit.

"In disguise as her friend, Ha-ri shows up to a blind date to scare him away. But plans go awry when he turns out to be her CEO - and makes a proposal."

Overall, this is a touching, heart-warming show that is also very short (only 12 episodes) compared to the usual 16-25. Definitely worth a watch for fans of romance and kdrama.

An Engaging Love and Ambition Story

"A Business Proposal" takes you on a captivating journey of love and ambition. The drama brings the characters to life in a perfect way, making their stories relatable and compelling. The chemistry between Tae-moo and Hari is especially engaging, with Tae-moo's heartfelt expressions of love melting hearts and making him incredibly charming.

I loved how Hari helps Tae-moo heal from his past, showing the power of love in overcoming challenges. It's heartwarming to see their bond grow stronger and bring positivity into their lives.

The friendship between Young-seo and Hari is also touching. They're always there for each other, providing support and comfort through thick and thin.

As a fan of the original webtoon, I wished they included the honeymoon part in the drama, but even without it, the overall experience was satisfying and left me wanting more.

After "True Beauty," "A Business Proposal" has become my second most favorite drama. The adaptation of the webtoon, the lovely chemistry between the leads, and the exploration of love and ambition make it a captivating watch.

In conclusion, "A Business Proposal" is an engaging drama that beautifully blends love and ambition. The wonderful chemistry between the leads and the heartwarming friendships make it a must-watch. Whether you're a fan of the webtoon or simply looking for a captivating romance, "A Business Proposal" is definitely worth your time.

a good intro into kdramas...

What a cute drama! Although I was dissatisfied with some of the chemistry, I did enjoy this when I was watching. Strangely enough this felt like twelve 30 minute episodes rather than twelve hour long episodes. I can't even confidently say that it this would've improved if it followed the sixteen episode format. I suppose it just feels like this because of the way it didn't flesh anything out besides the mains ? It doesn't feel like a well rounded story but I understand that its supposed to be a short series so it makes sense.

The soundtrack itself is so good?? I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There's so many good songs in the soundtrack that I found myself liking over two thirds of the song choices, which is pretty rare for me.

I really do think this is the perfect drama for someone that is just getting into kdramas. Its lighthearted, adorable editing, great soundtrack with a cute story. Overall, a simplified joy.

Wholesome Kdrama

I’ve been a fan of Sejeong so I was so excited to hear about her new drama. I may be biased but this was so cute and heartwarming! The friendships between the two males leads and females leads were adorable. This definitely brings me back to when I first watched kdramas.

It has that cheesyness and cliches that all of them do but done in the right way. Sejeongs acting was phenomenal! She played such a bright character so well. Let’s not forgot about her iconic lines!

Of course like everyone else… I agree that the ending was rushed. Like what ever happened to the grandpa? Other than that I really enjoyed the drama :)

Well, despite not really feeling like I fully embraced this K-drama, I really did enjoy it. I do not watch and enjoy many Korean romance dramas, which is the reason. Surprise, right? But still, I would say I enjoyed it on a minimal level. It definitely had an old-fashioned, romantic K-drama vibe, which I kind of love.
The fact that I dislike tricking someone I am dating and that it was glaringly obvious that his girlfriend and his employee are the same person are two major reasons why I may not have enjoyed this drama to the fullest. You cannot tell me that wigs and makeup, especially the kind that was applied to the lead female character, will completely alter someone's appearance. I suppose I really cannot say because it might change in some circumstances. But like I said earlier, it is actually a good K-drama.
Consequently, this is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys Korean romantic comedies.

A Must Watch

A great RomCom.

Comedy: Well written/acted/presented comedy scenes.

Story: is good. A simple well known story. They did not try to do too much with the story. Kept it simple. Sometimes less is more. For this show it was more than enough.

Acting: Very good. Especially FL. Supporting Female Actress was a good find.
ML did a decent job to carry the show.
Seo Hye Won was funny as hell. I rewatched her scenes few times. Cute and Funny.

ScreenPlay: Very well done.

Love the show.

This is one of the show I thought it could have more episodes.

Just let some things go and you will enjoy.

Business proposal is a fun, yet frustrating rom-com. The writing is good but at times it gets in the way of the bright, entertaining cast.
In the entire series, main actress Se-Jeong (Shin-Hari) stands out. There were times in the story when her talents were underutilized at crucial moments. As a whole, the story was entertaining and fun, but halfway through it became repetitive and redundant. There was a feeling that they were trying to stretch 130% beyond the main theme. As the series went on, this improved towards the last three or four episodes. Yeong-Seo, the best friend of the main character Shin Hari, seemed to have more chemistry with her boyfriend than she did. Now I see why they shared the best couple award. Business Proposal provides some fun laugh out loud moments. So, I do recommend it. You just may have to try and not take it too seriously...

Show de bizarrices no início com final comunzão, descompassado demais

Esse é um dorama que eu queria gostar, porque tem diversas partes que eu ri muito, acertam bastante na comédia.
Mas o jeito como essa série começa é de um exagero intragável, parece que foi feito por pessoas que acabaram de descobrir como mexer nos efeitos especiais de um programa de edição, misturaram tudo quanto é situação desconfortável e artificial, juntaram a um milhão de cores, animações e efeitos escalafobéticos e o resultado é um show de bizarrices de mau gosto.
Ao menos nos primeiros episódios, porque depois, também de forma bizarra, a série abaixa o tom e vira um drama comum, com um bom desenvolvimento, bons personagens, cenas comuns, mas totalmente fora de tom do início cheio de superlativos.
Parece até que "Pretendente Surpresa"começa com um time de produção e direção e termina com outra de tão descompassado que o fim é do início.
Se quiser rir um pouco, acho uma boa pedida, mas não espere muito mais do que isso e tenha um pouco de estômago para o início e as situações cringe.
