This advice is probably a little bit belated, since I initially watched this present earlier within the 12 months. (And I meant to write down a rec for it then, however I simply by no means received round to it.) Nonetheless, I just lately re-watched this sequence and was reminded of how a lot I like it, so higher late than by no means. I’m about to blow up feels throughout you and inform you why it is best to watch A Enterprise Proposal.
A Enterprise Proposal, primarily based on the webcomic from Kakao Leisure Corp (which in flip relies on a webnovel by Haehwa), is the story of Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong), lowly meals researcher on the extremely worthwhile Go Meals. Her greatest good friend, Jin Younger-seo (Seol In-ah), is continually being arrange on blind dates by her father and getting Ha-ri to assist get her out of them. This time, Ha-ri masquerades as Younger-seo, intent on scaring the man away and hopefully ending the blind dates perpetually (and incomes a little bit money on the aspect to assist repay a debt). Sadly, the blind date is Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop), the president of Go Meals – aka Ha-ri’s boss.
I’ve discovered that it’s just about unimaginable for me to succinctly clarify the premise of Okay-dramas. I virtually at all times find yourself giving individuals an in depth abstract of your complete first episode as a substitute. As a result of most Okay-dramas have quite a bit occurring, and simply saying, “Oh, it’s a mistaken identification faux relationship story,” appears woefully insufficient for every part that occurs in A Enterprise Proposal. However sure, this present melds mistaken identification with faux relationship, sprinkles in a little bit enemies to lovers, and provides a touch of secret relationship for taste.
I really like every part about this present. It’s humorous and tense and candy. I imply, faux relationship is my jam, and every part else simply provides to my enjoyment. The characters are charming, and I’m a sucker for a great romance. The individuals who must get advised off completely get advised off. Everybody who deserves a contented ending will get one.
Ha-ri is wise and succesful, and he or she’s a fiercely loyal good friend. Tae-moo is the standard robust man with a gooey heart, although at first he’s extraordinarily standoffish and sort of a jerk. Their romance is definitely tremendous cute, as a result of every part that Ha-ri does to show Tae-moo off when she’s masquerading as Younger-seo solely intrigues him. He likes that she’s totally different from all the different girls on the various, many blind dates his grandfather makes him go on. He is also excited about Ha-ri, his worker (earlier than he realizes that they’re the identical individual), as a result of she’s simply so darn good at her job.
They’ve quite a lot of stumbles on their method. For instance, the truth that Ha-ri retains mendacity to him (for excellent causes! however nonetheless, you recognize, mendacity). Then there’s the truth that Tae-moo’s grandfather actually dislikes worker!Ha-ri however loves the faux persona Ha-ri places on when she pretends to be the girlfriend.
The present does introduce a form of love triangle with Ha-ri’s longtime crush Min-woo, but it surely’s dealt with fairly properly. I say this as somebody who detests love triangles. When Min-woo will get again collectively together with his ex-girlfriend, Ha-ri decides it’s time to maneuver on. But as quickly because it seems she’s unavailable, Min-woo begins getting possessive of her time. Fortunately, Ha-ri calls him out on it and doesn’t let have an effect on her relationship. Though Tae-moo will get unnecessarily aggressive about it.
The secondary romance between Younger-seo and Tae-moo’s childhood good friend and assistant Cha Sung-hoon (Kim Min-gue) is simply nearly as good (perhaps even higher? IDK I simply actually love these two) than the primary pairing. The 2 have a reliable meet-cute second at a comfort retailer earlier than they know who the opposite is. Younger-seo and Sung-hoon additionally get their act collectively sooner than their buddies, which results in some tremendous cute moments. Additionally, let me inform you, the scene the place Sung-hoon takes off his glasses to higher kiss Younger-seo is ten occasions sexier than the scene the place he takes his shirt off. Critically, coronary heart palpitations over right here.
This sequence is barely shorter than most Okay-dramas, with solely twelve episodes. (It’s normal to have sixteen.) This enables for a tighter narrative and means that there’s much less time spent on dreadful miscommunication plots. Tae-moo finds out fairly rapidly that Ha-ri will not be Younger-seo, and when Ha-ri offers a faux identify in order that he doesn’t notice she’s his worker, he discovers that pretty rapidly, too. My solely concern with having fewer episodes is that, after the compulsory time skip, every part will get wrapped up very quick. Among the lingering conflicts (like Tae-moo’s grandfather not liking Ha-ri) are principally hand-waved to get to the glad ending.
