Business Proposal - An all time favourite (Series review )
I'm a huge fan of movies that have friendship as one of it's themes. Seeing people be there for each other for a very long period of time, sticking by each other through thick or thin is something I love.
I've watched so many movies that had me swooning at how sweetly, friendships were portrayed in them. From Pretty little liars, where the friendship existed between a group of five girls, to Love next door, where our friend group, consisted of a trio. Although I can't remember most of them as at the time of making this post, I know that friendship is one of my favorite themes to look out for in a movie I want to watch.
If the storyline of a movie is of best friends falling in love with each other along the way, I'll devour it. If it is about two friends navigating life and everything between, I'll devour it the same way and I think my love for all that has to deal with the theme of friendship in movies, inspired my choice of drama to review today - Business Proposal.
This Korean drama, since it's release back in 2021 has been among my top kdramas ever watched. Are you even a k-drama fan if you've not watched business proposal? Nahh, I doubt that. Business proposal was a drama that centered around the theme of love friendship and family.
Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong) and Young Seo (Seo ri-na) are polar opposites but complement each other as friends, perfectly well. Where Young Seo's father sets her up for blind dates she has no interest in, she requests the help of her best friend to attend on her behalf, and they both make plans to get the guy uninterested. They continue this for a while, not until they meet Kang Tae Moo, who also reluctantly consented to the blind date, to make his grandfather happy.
He meets Ha-ri there and after she tries all she could to make herself as unappealing as possible so a second date would not hold, to both girls' dismay, they're both disappointed when he schedules a second date. With both friends playing hide and seek, things turn for the worse when she finds out that he is the CEO of Go Food, where she works at.
Watching business proposal, was so refreshing because I loved the positive energy that sizzled between both friends. I don't know if it is in my part of the world alone or everywhere in general, but friendships today, are portrayed as something you need a manual to be able to scale through. It is most times, filled with negative energy, jealousy under the disguise of looking out for the other and competitions. I even find it weird when people begin to relegate friendships to a specific gender alone. I loved to see both friends here be free, living their lives and even while helping each other, being loved genuinely by the other friend.
I think the most thing I liked about this drama, other than how beautiful friendship was portrayed, was the romantic plot. The best friends falling in love with two best friends, making both duos, a group of four. It was a very cute plot and I particularly enjoyed the romance between the second leads.
This was the particular drama that made me become a huge fan of Seo Rina as an actress. I particularly loved her acting in this drama and although it's no doubt that Kim Se-jeong ate up her role. In fact, all actors did a good job with their roles, that made this drama the cinematic masterpiece that it is.
I watched this drama a long time ago, and since it's been on my mind recently, I thought to share it with you all on here. If you haven't watched this drama, and are a huge fan of Korean dramas with the CEO and average girl romance tropes, make sure to watch this as it is worth a solid 10/10 from me.
Or if you've watched it, how did you feel watching it?
Thanks for reading.
