Why does “Business Proposal” take social media by storm with only 2 episodes? A fun, lighthearted plot and a perfect visual cast 

Amid heavy plot-driven dramas these days, “Business Proposal” is the refreshing rom-com we all need. 

Less than a week after its premiere, “Business Proposal” has already been drawing much attention. Having its airtime on Mon-Tue, not being considered SBS’s major drama without heavy promotions or a star-studded cast, “Business Proposal” is still gaining huge popularity after only 2 episodes were broadcast. Cuts from the drama go viral on social media with high view counts and engagements. “Business Proposal” has quickly entered Netflix’s Top 10 trending shows as well, even surpassing tvN’s “Twenty Five, Twenty One”, JTBC’s “Thirty Nine” and “Forecasting Love And Weather” in different countries.

“Business Proposal” has been receiving plenty of positive reviews. The plot may not be new, but the audiences still find the first two episodes enjoyable and fun to watch. Lighthearted, cute, refreshing, not filled with dramas like many other Korean shows lately, “Business Proposal” is simply a classic rom-com with chaotic and adorable characters. The office romance depicted in “Business Proposal” is not heavy with professional knowledge like “Forecasting Love And Weather” or realistic and depressing like “Thirty Nine”. Moreover, the young cast including Ahn Hyo Seop, Kim Se Jeong, Kim Min Kyu and Seol In Ah all suit their characters perfectly and impress the viewers with not only their great visuals but also natural acting.

Some viewers’ comments:

  • I can’t stop rewatching the first 2 episodes. I laugh so hard everytime. The webtoon’s drawing is very pretty. The drama is good too. It’s so fun to watch. 
  • Se Jeong’s pretty like a doll, I thought she was a rookie actress. Can’t believe she’s an idol. All the leading cast members have both the looks and good acting. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a great ensemble cast.
  • I’m a fan of the webtoon. Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Se Jeong were not what I imagined when I read the webtoon. But watching them is pure comedy. 
  • Monday is not scary anymore now that I know I get to watch “Business Proposal” 
  • The rich guy-ordinary girl trope is classic rom-com cliché, there is nothing new, but the plot of “Business Proposal” still feels refreshing somehow, the acting and effect makes it more fun. There are only 12 episodes, so I hope the drama can keep its quality until the end. 

Additionally, in the original webtoon of the same name, both the main and sub couples have a lot of kissing scenes and even bed scenes. Therefore, many viewers are wondering if those scenes were filmed and added into the drama version. 

If you also love the first two episodes, don’t forget to tune in to “Business Proposal”, which airs every Monday and Tuesday on SBS and Netflix.
