I don't understand the hype
As all of us know it's a cliché poor FL x rich ML story. But I've read that it's well done and fun to watch (I mean currently the MDL rating is 8.8), so I did have a certain expectation, even if it wasn't much. And yes, I was disappointed. To be exact, it's the main characters that disappointed me the most.
Characters
I don't know what's likable about the ML except his appearance (he's hella cute with his hair down!). I usually don't like flawless characters, since perfection makes them often inhuman & less charming, which is also the case here imo. He was cliché jealous, was throwing his money every way possible to show his love, has the cliché trauma, that almost nobody knows about, doesn't try to really understand the FL and bulldozes his way through to get the FL, etc. I really don't see his charming points...
As for the FL, she is fun to watch, but felt very flat. She is just your typical romcom kdrama FL. I would have liked to see more of her passion for food, that would have added more to her character instead her job was used merely as a connection to ML. Wasted potential...
I first liked the 2nd FL, but as time passed, she got annoying, especially after they started dating. I think her behaviour as a girlfriend was supposed to be funny, but for me that wasn't the case at all...
2nd ML was neither good nor bad. His appearance was fine of course 😏
Romance
2nd couple's encounter was well done and how they got closer was good imo.
What felt meh, was the main couple's story: The rich ML falls in love with the unique FL. It wasn't well executed imo. It had funny parts, but I think it could have been better. And as I have understood, FL doesn't really like the ML, but rather what he does for her in the name of love, which is mainly throwing around money.
When I watched this, I was reminded of What's wrong with secretary Kim, since both of series have similar ML (character & appearance) & both fall in love with their employees. I didn't like WWWSK much, since I didn't really understand how she fell in love with him, but I have to say it was better than Business proposal...
If you like this trope and don't need a deep character or story, you might like it a lot, otherwise it's not worth it imo.
