Everyone is aware of the fact that Business Proposal contains a lot of clichés, but it's a quite a well-written cliché. I am usually bothered if a drama has cliché plot points, especially if it has this much, yet surprisingly I really enjoyed this one. Frankly speaking, there is nothing about this drama that you can't see in any other drama. However, unlike those dramas, Business Proposal has some kind of a spell that will get you addicted to it. I don't know how they did it, but it wasn't annoying at all. Well indeed there were moments that I was unimpressed and believed they could've at least added something different or that it was a bit exaggerated, yet I still really enjoyed it overall. Mind you, there will be some cringey and cheesy lines too!

Business Proposal is a good one to watch if you're looking for a drama wherein you won't have to make theories, worry about what will happen, and become anxious while watching. Just sit back, relax, laugh and feel butterflies in your stomach. I think that my mood during the weeks this aired contributed to how much I enjoyed it, it was exactly what I need during those times I felt dull and spent my nights overthinking. But Business Proposal had me looking forward to Mondays and Tuesday because I know my nights during those days would be filled with laughter and smiles. I don't have to overthink if they'll end up together or what conflicts they'll have to go through because we all know what will happen anyways.

So if you're looking for a drama that would make you feel thrilled because of its intriguing story, or bawl your eyes out because of the angst, this is definitely not the one and you might feel annoyed watching this.

The acting could have been better, if I were to be honest. There were a few parts where the acting felt a bit awkward (for specific actor/s), but it did not bother me much since I still had fun. The acting overall is okay, but didn't stand out to me much except for Seol In Ah who was perfect in portraying her role. Nonetheless, all actors did their best and sometimes it was actually the camera angles' fault because I saw some behind videos and it was actually better than the scene that was presented.

Although I still liked the main couple more than the second couple, I cannot deny that the second couple had more chemistry. Don't get me wrong! Both couples have amazing chemistry, but the second couple felt more natural. Hatae is still my favorite because I enjoyed their scenes a lot. To sum it up, the main couple focused on cute and innocent-like (but definitely not purely innocent) scenes. You can clearly see they're first timers that's why it's so cute! Especially because they had some moments when they needed to hide their relationship. While the second couple had a more steamy and mature relationship, it's as if they're already married because their romance was so natural.

I definitely think that they should've extended it to a few more episodes, it felt too short and i wanted to see more Hatae scenes especially because they became a couple just in the last few episodes of the drama and they had to hide it until the end. I wanted to see them openly in a relationship more and even their life after marriage, but Netflix probably told the writers to cut it off at 12 episodes. They still should've found a way to speed up the development of their relationship because the ending felt rushed and incomplete. Even so, that doesn't erase the fact that this drama comforted me a lot.

Overall, it was nothing new yet still very fun to watch. A light romcom to watch if you need something simple in this kdrama era where every kdrama would make your head or eyes hurt. It still depends on your sensitivity to clichés, cheesy lines and overused plots if you'll actually enjoy the drama. Just give it a shot and see! Personally, I feel like I was not myself during the time I watched Business Proposal lol. I really don't get how I actually enjoyed it, it was so unusual of me. But yeah like I said, it could also depend on your mood and what your mental health wants lmao.
