You can click here to find all our Romantic Picks, in one place! This week, our Romantic Pick is from the ongoing web novel and webtoon-based K-Drama “Business Proposal”, starring Ahn HyoSeop as Kang TaeMu, Kim SeJeong as Shin HaRi, Kim MinGue as Cha SungHoon, and Seorina as Jin YoungSeo. Kang TaeMu is the President of Go Food, the company Shin HaRi works at as a Senior Food Researcher. He is young, rich, successful, and competent but single and utterly disinterested in romantic relationships. His grandfather, however, has different plans. Using typical grandfatherly blackmail, he convinces him to go on a blind date with marriage in mind. The woman he is set to meet is Jin YoungSeo, the daughter of Marine Group, another contemporary affluent business. However, Jin YoungSeo is just as dispassionate about an arranged marriage as is TaeMu. With both individuals being self-preservative, Kang TaeMu decides to marry his blind date and Jin YoungSeo sends her best friend Shin HaRi in her stead. Naturally, a comedy of errors ensues and fate brings the destined lovers together! Spoiler Alert! In the latest episode of “Business Proposal”, Kang TaeMu realizes his sincere feelings for Shin HaRi and takes it upon himself to confess to her. In his mind, there’s simply no way he could ever be rejected but reality hits him quick and hard. HaRi’s heart might flutter for TaeMu but their relationship is too complex for her to act on her emotions. As such, even when TaeMu is going out of his way to spend some quality time with HaRi, she cannot help but see it as her boss wanting to overwork her so as to compensate for her deception.
After a failed movie date attempt, TaeMu scours her SNS to find out more about what HaRi likes. It doesn’t take long before he finds exactly what he’s looking for: the beach! The next morning, TaeMu invites HaRi to a business trip to Sokcho so that he can take her to all the nice restaurants she’s been wanting to visit. Unsuspecting HaRi however, is mildly annoyed that she has to “work” on the weekend. After her first choice being closed, TaeMu puts his master plan into motion. He drives her to the beach and takes her on a walk along the shore, only for her to get excited over a food truck that travels on the owner’s whim. Stoked at her luck, HaRi drags TaeMu over to experience their famous burgers. Little does she know, TaeMu hired the food truck to come to the beach by paying the owner a day’s profit for exactly 2 burgers, just to see HaRi light up in joy. Needless to say, his plan worked and they finally shared a meaningful conversation over some burgers and blueberry-ade. HaRi opened up more about her younger days and TaeMu made her heart flutter as he kneeled down to tie her shoelaces. With the gorgeous blue sea in the background, this scene was right out of a fantasy.
To top it all off, the episode ends with Kang TaeMu posing as Shin HaRi’s boyfriend in front of her friends with nothing but love in his eyes. Surprisingly, Shin HaRi runs with it, especially with how genuine and affectionate TaeMu looked.
The tables have turned and Kang TaeMu is now Shin HaRi’s fake but not-so-fake lover. Will the pair finally realize their true feelings? We’ll find out in the next episode of “Business Proposal”!
