Pretendente Surpresa

I'll start by saying the plot doesn't bring anything original to the table. Now with that out of the way...

Everything from character development, makeup, typical clichés, romance, and the comedic scenes are exaggerated to such a degree that you cannot help yourself from laughing out loud. The show is pure entertainment and sometimes it makes you wonder whether it takes itself seriously. The smooth transition between plot development and outrageously funny scenes is nothing short of brilliant.

This goes on for the first 8 episodes or so. Once it transitions into the later stages it takes a sharp turn towards typical Korean rom com. Which isn't bad in itself but it did leave me sightly disappointed. It left me with the impression that it started incredibly strong and ended on a low note.

The chemistry between the couples is one of the show's strongest points. You can clearly tell they are extremely comfortable in each other's presence. The portrayal of both a conservative and libertine couple is also well done with ample screen time to develop both relationships.

I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a light hearted romantic comedy with a unique sense of humour.

I can't get enough of The Office Blind Date (A Business Proposal in the US on Netflix). It is the most hysterical corporate K-drama I have ever watched and just finished Episode 3 and 4. I couldn't stop laughing for practically any moment, and that says a lot because not much makes me laugh. It is a good thing that I have to wait another week for Episode 5 because I don't think I could stand that much laughter in one day. I love the leading male, Aho Hyo-Seop as Kang Tae Mu and also the leading female Se-Jeong Kim as Shin Ha Ri. I very rarely mention a female star so that says a lot about Se-Jeong Kim; she brings so much to the show.

If you searching for some comedy romance genre this drama would be a perfect choice for it has a beautiful story and the whole cast is fabulous! I loved every minute!! Very meaningful and healing. It's funny and worth watching for sure! I am Loving it!!

Business Proposal is my comfort drama. I am currently watching it for the 3rd time and i dont think that i will ever get tired of it! Its literally perfect. It has the perfect amount of comedy and romance. Each episode is so fun to watch and it leaves you wanting more. The storyline is quite nice and not tiresome. I loved the fact that the stuff that happened to Ha-ri and Tae-moo also happened in the drama with Geum-hui, it was quite funny. I also quite liked the fact that the drama didnt have a villain that wanted to break up the main couple, to me it has become a bit annoying because in every romance drama there is an ex gf or bf that wants to seperate the main couple. To be honest this is one of the best dramas that i have watched.

Just watch it. I have been struggling to find a new kdrama from many months after hometown cha cha cha got over. My search is over. Found my new favourite gem.

Reasons: What worked

1) Both actors and actresses looks perfect for their role. Age wise as well as attractive wise.

2) Fast paced and 90% of the screen time is devoted to main couples.

3) It's funny and entertaining. Yeah, I can't remember last time seeing a romantic show with funny lines and lots of funny scenes Finally, Kdrama is getting the humor right.

4) Very likable side couple and their story so far.

5) And the most important thing in the show :- Story and Romance. It clicks. It clicks from very first moment in the show. The chemistry between them makes you feel involve in the show from very first episode.🇰🇷 You don't have to wait for second and third episodes for it. And I have seen lots of Kdramas in the past and there are very few shows who manages to do that. It gets your attention and the next thing you know is that you are addicted. You just can't stop watching.

6) Message to the director, writer and producer. Thank you for bringing this show on netflix. The feeling one gets from watching a romantic kdrama is something out of this world. Its a special feeling you get when you are in love. You guys are doing God work by spreading happiness and love across the world. Keep doing it. I love it. The whole World loves it. Thank you. Thank you.
