Months have passed by but the Business Proposal withdrawal symptoms are still very much evident. Furthermore, the series was cooked up with comedy, romance, and cliches all in the right amount. Written by Han Sul Hee (Ugly Miss Young Ae) and Hong-Bo Hee (High Kick! The Legend of The Short Legged), the intriguing storyline of the Kdrama had us hooked on the screen every second. Kudos to Park Seon Ho for the brilliant direction in the Kdrama. Given the creative minds behind the romantic comedy-drama, it is no surprise that  Business Proposal topped multiple charts.

Business Proposal was the first ever non-Netflix Original to stay at number one for weeks. Over the course of twelve episodes, the series follows Shin Ha Ri who is a food researcher the massive mishap that leads her to go on a date with her boss. The said boss is a handsome yet work-obsessed Kang Tae Mu being played by Ahn Hyo Seop. On the other hand, her best friend who landed her into all this trouble is now crushing over Kang Tae Mu’s secretary. With all these happening, the Kdrama is a treat for fans.
