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!!!"
