"Do you know what my love for you and this credit card have in common? They both have no limit." If someone said this to me, butterflies are not enough to express what I’d feel—I would have an entire zoo in my stomach. This line is said by Kang Tae-Mu, played by Ahn Hyo-seop, in the K-drama ‘Business Proposal'. If you are into the fake-dating trope, then this drama is a must-watch for you. Business Proposal is about Shin Ha-ri, played by Kim Sejeong, who gets tangled in a fake relationship with her boss, Kang Tae-Mu, after a blind date gone wrong.
What exactly makes this drama stand out? Business Proposal, in my opinion, is a light drama that won’t give you stress. But instead make you laugh out loud and give you kilig (a Tagalog expression for a feeling of exhilaration from a romantic experience). Some may think that it is cliche, but I can say that this K-drama is a good type of cliche. There are many scenes that made me fangirl and laugh so hard to the point I had to cover my face with a pillow so that I wouldn't wake anyone up. With that being said, let me tell you the two main reasons you should watch this Kdrama.
The first reason to watch it is that it is funny. Most episodes have their memorable comedic scenes. To list a few: Episode 1, where Ha-ri introduces Samantha and Rachel. Episode 2, Ha-ri and Young Seo’s drunk scene and where Ha-ri’s slipper meets Tae-Mu. Episode 4, where Ha-ri lets go of Chairman Kang. Not to mention the iconic Mr. Gye-Bin, played by Lim Ki-hong, who will surely make you laugh because of his amusing personality.
The second reason to watch this is that it will give you kilig. From protecting your feelings and pride from a 7 year long crush on a man who is practically a walking red flag. To stalk your social media page during a business meeting, to see what you like. Even keeping in mind your fears so you would be comfortable during your date. These are the green flags in this drama that would make you go “aww” and sana all. The words, actions, and thoughts of the main leads in this drama will surely make you smile, jump, and scream.
“Let me say this again. I have feelings for you, Ms. Shin and I won’t give up. If you reject me, I’ll ask you out again and again until you finally like me back. So you need to brace yourself.” - Kang Tae-Mu
