A RomCom that knows what it's doing
Do you remember the first romcom you watched/read? That heady feeling, that foolish grin, the rolling of the eyes at absurd behaviour, going weak in the knees at the first confession of love?
Business Proposal brings all of that back. Sure, it's not the most original of plots. If viewed under a magnifying glass, you'll spot a couple of problematic stereotypes and narratives. But, the show is SO fun, so self-aware, so well-acted, you will let all the loopholes and problems slide. Just this once.
Though a romcom, what really stood out for me was the female friendship. Pure chaos and full of unyielding loyalty as young women best friendships are meant to be. I think I probably got hooked to the show because of that (and the Rachel & Samantha scene. Holy God, that scene is the OG of all meet cutes)
A Business Proposal is a cliched romcom that knows what its doing. Give it a watch when you're feeling down and let Shin Ha-Ri lift your spirits!
