If you are going to watch, do it for Jeon Jong-Seo!

The story of a younger brother who falls in love with his future sister-in-law... without knowing that her fiancé is gay.
Yes, the plot seems interesting although not innovative.
However, while the first half is enjoyable and I liked it a lot, the second half is a letdown. It feels like the screenwriters lost themselves and resorted to gaudy drama.
On the other hand, I must say that the leads relationship is cute and adorable to see (although it was painful to watch the final eps filled with overdone drama). Also Jeon Jong-Seo acting is superb, I'm expecting a lot of her future roles as I became a big fan! Moon Sang-Min shined a lot as well and since he's still pretty young we'll probably see a lot of him in the future, mainly with ML roles.
Back to the plot, they wasted a lot of potential by not exploring Do-Han, the gay brother. Almost all the time the character is put on standby, unconscious about what happens despite his life being on the line. My biggest disappointment is that his development is literally non-existent – ​​he enters into a fake marriage with his best friend to hide his sexual orientation from his family, and as the story progresses there is no moment where he understands the burden he has placed on Ah-Jung, as well as that coming out of the closet is the only way to have peace with himself.
There are many other flaws consisting of not exploring a character and their drama, while a lot of screentime is wasted with Ji-Han and Ah-Jung denying their feelings instead of accepting and fighting for their happiness together.

TL;DR

If you don't mind overdone drama, go ahead and watch it, but do know that it fails by not developing some characters.
If you do mind, it's still worth watching, especially because of Jeon Jong-Seo – I hope you fall in love with her acting skills as I did. However, prepare yourself to see quality dropping in the second half.

A highschool romcom with a lot of music, 90ies style and very charming characters

This show is the goat of all dramas, so you should definitely watch it! I mean, the plot is about an 18-year-old guitarist who goes back to 1995 after fighting with his father and the first person he meets, guess what? Yes, it's his father, but the same age as him. I won't dwell on the events that take place, 'cause it's best to discover them by watching, although some of them may be predictable, they're still quite enjoyable. Also the soundtrack is amazing, so you can look forward to it! The actors and actresses did a wonderful job, so much so that I fell in love with On Eun Yu (Seol In Ah) and I wish she was real lmao.

Hope you like it <3 <3

Cliché romcom but worth watching as it's really good

The plot is about a chaebol and an ordinary person falling in love. Yeah, you probably have already watched two or more shows like that. However, "Business Proposal" does an amazing job at developing its characters and their relationships, so it's worth watching it!

I didn't know Kim Se-Jeong before, but completely fell in love with her. What terrific acting skills! Seol In-Ah already was one of my faves so it wasn't a surprise seeing a wonderful work here too. Ahn Hyo-Seop and Kim Min-Gue played their roles flawlessly. The chemistry between the couples and also the friends is so good that it's impossible to not sympathize with the chars.

About the clichés: as I said, it's a good use of them. Nevertheless there's one detail that bothers me; I can't take that everytime they write a company heir char, he's an orphan whose parents died at a car accident when he was little, and it's always on his birthday and he feels guilty because he hurried them to get home soon through a phone call...

Anyway, if you are searching a cute romance with good comedy, this drama is the perfect choice!

Suzy and Jong-Suk as lovers, why not watch?!

The story centers on Hong-Ju, whose dreams always come true, and Jae-Chan, a grumpy prosecutor. After their initial encounter where they develop a bit of distaste for each other, a dream of the ML is shown in which he sees the FL dying. Flustered by the realism of the dream, Jae-Chan decides to intervene and tries to prevent the miserable future that awaits Hong-Ju. Then, as the show has romance as one of its elements, the relationship between them develops as the ML adapts to his workplace and coworkers and strives to investigate complex cases trying to uncover the real culprits behind from them... But he counts with Hong-Ju assistance, since she can see the future in her dreams!

I really loved the acting, although it's no surprise since the cast is replete with amazing professionals, especially the lead roles. As a big fan of Suzy I have to say that "While You Were Sleeping" is a must-watch, notably because Hong-Ju is an spontaneous and authentic character. Plus she looks so cute with short hair <3 <3
Jung-suk is one of, if not the best, actors on the scene and therefore he needs no comments.

About the OST: it isn't the most beautiful and heart touching out there, but it's still pretty good and well used. I'm no direction expert, but it didn't disappoint me in any aspect either.

Additionally, as a law student, it was pretty interesting to see the legal aspects covered in this k-drama. I also flirted with the idea of ​​being a prosecutor thanks to it xD
