What better way to get back into watching KDramas than with A Business Proposal, which had me laughing out loud more than once and was the perfect length for anyone currently going through a KDrama funk like I was. It had two definite winners (in my opinion) with male leads, Ahn Hyo Seop and one of my personal favourites, Kim Min Gue (?Kyu ?Gyu) and honestly I was so happy to see him in my first drama back. But let’s not forget about our female leads who held their own as well, comedic genius Kim Se Jeong and the gorgeous Seol In Ah. What I loved the most was that these two characters were developed, and their friendship didn’t come across as forced for the screen which really helped this drama A LOT.

I 100% agree with Catherine’s review in that another godsend was that this hetero rom-com went just deep enough to stay lighthearted without falling into the convoluted early-mid 2000s ick traps, where deliberate ignorance and stupid misunderstandings were our main bae and instead, we were served a modernized supportive and educated friend and family network relevant to todays’ societal standards. Even the workplace teams seemed more like teams instead of frenemies.
For me there was no standout music track, but I can’t be mad because there was nothing to detract from the story or the characters.

While I probably wouldn’t watch A Business Proposal again, I stand by my opinion that it was funny and worth a watch if you want something short, sweet, and comedic; and I will remember it with fondness (and Kim Min Gue).

All in all, A Business Proposal is refreshing with its modernized clichés that hit right while still giving viewers that penultimate traditional love story ending. At 12 episodes, I didn't have to commit a great deal of time and attention to viewing either, which was a large part of its appeal to me personally and I do not regret spending my time watching it.
