Many viewers may experience deja vu because they have seen these details in many different dramas.
A Business Proposal is a hot topic on film forums because of the humorous situations, natural acting of the cast and the interesting “ancestor bird” trend.
However, the fact that this drama has some details similar to others, especially when some details have become “brands” of a work, will certainly make the audience question the originality of it.
1. Shin Ha Ri’s claw raising gesture
Shin Ha Ri (Kim Se Jeong) once caused a fever in the online community because the playgirl cosplay was too funny in the first meeting with Kang Tae Moo (Ahn Hyo Seop).
Although panicking when she knew that he was her company’s CEO, Ha Ri calmly tried her best to scare him off. In particular, she also made a gesture of raising her cat’s claws, making Director Kang quite speechless.
This detail is said to be similar to the gesture that the female lead Lim Joo Kyung (Moon Ga Young) of True Beauty used to tease Han Seo Joon (Hwang In Yeob) after discovering that he wore leopard patterned pants at home.
The detail went viral on social media when True Beauty was on air, so many people wondered if the writer of A Business Proposal borrowed the idea.
2. CEO Kang “tortured” Ha Ri when he discovered her true identity
After discovering that Shin Ha Ri is Shin Geum Hui, the director became angry because he did not expect that assistant Shin could make a fool out of a smart person like him over and over again.
Even though he knew that there was no point in giving Ha Ri a hard time, Kang Tae Moo was determined to tease her and relieve her anger by forcing her to constantly change between Shin Geum Hui and Shin Ha Ri’s identities.
Specifically, knowing that his close friend Xie Liang Chen (Bai Lu) is a girl disguised as a boy and the Xie Xiang sister that Xie Liang Chen made up and him is one person, Shen Junshan (Toby Lee) still pretended to know nothing and often go to Xie Liang Chen to announce that he will go to school to meet his sister Xie Xiang to ask her out.
After that, this guy joyfully watched Xie Xiang hurriedly change to female clothes and ran to the girls’ school, then quickly packed up and returned to the military school in male form to avoid being blown.
3. The supporting couple and the line “Don’t cross the line”
Secretary Cha Sung Hoon (Kim Min Gyu) does not want to get close to Jin Young Seo (Seol In Ah) because of CEO Kang.
One day when his Kang Tae Moo came to his house and by chance Young Seo and Ha Ri were also outside the door. In order to prevent the two from facing each other, Sung Hoon loudly told Ms. Jin not to cross the line with him, making her feel angry.
Then, when they happened to meet each other at a restaurant, Jin Young Seo used this statement from secretary Cha to tease him out of anger by setting a limit and resolutely preventing him from crossing the boundary on the table where two people sit.
Although not exactly the same, this situation is similar to the story of the supporting couple in Let’s Eat 3. Due to a reluctant situation, Lee Seo Yeon (Lee Joo Woo) and Sun Woo Sun (Ahn Woo Yeon) had to live in the same house.
Annoyed with Lee Seo Yeon’s personality, Sun Woo Sun forbade her not to cross the line with her. The special thing is that in this guy’s name, there are two words “limit”, so that every time Woo Sun says this sentence, Seo Yeon finds this guy funny.
Both Lee Seo Yeon and Sun Woo Sun use the definition of the word “limit” to provoke the other person and create humorous situations.
Although the drama is not as popular as the previous parts due to many factors, the supporting couple of Let’s Eat 3, Lee Seo Yeon – Sun Woo Sun, is very popular and the small segments of this couple receive quite many views compared to the previous seasons.
A Business Proposal is airing on both television and online platforms from February 28th on every Monday and Tuesday.
