A Business Proposal (2022)

Office romance between company staff and CEO. Both parties end up falling in love with each other due to unforeseen circumstances.

Both "A Business Proposal" and "King the Land" are Korean dramas that share some similarities, but also have distinct differences. Here's a breakdown:

Similarities:

Romance between opposite personalities: Both dramas feature a romance between two individuals with contrasting personalities. In "A Business Proposal," a bubbly researcher pretends to be her friend on a blind date with the CEO, leading to a fake relationship that turns real. Similarly, "King the Land" showcases a love story between an aloof hotel heir and a passionate employee.
Workplace setting: Both dramas are set in a professional environment, with "A Business Proposal" taking place in a food company and "King the Land" revolving around a luxurious hotel. This setting allows for workplace dynamics, career challenges, and character growth within the professional sphere.
Comedy and lightheartedness: Both dramas blend elements of humor and lightheartedness with the romantic narrative. Viewers can expect comical situations, witty dialogue, and moments of playful banter between the characters.
Differences:

Power dynamics: The power dynamics in the relationships differ significantly. In "A Business Proposal," the male lead holds a clear power advantage as the CEO, while the female lead initially deceives him. In contrast, "King the Land" features a more even power dynamic, with both leads working within the same hotel structure.
Genre focus: "A Business Proposal" leans more towards the romantic comedy genre, while "King the Land" incorporates additional elements of business management and competition within the luxury hotel industry.
Overall tone: "A Business Proposal" maintains a consistently light and comedic tone, while "King the Land" has moments of seriousness and dramatic tension interspersed with its humor.

The Office Blind Date similar to The Secret Life of My Secretary as it both has the concept of FL taking place of someone

The dynamic of the couple gave me similar vibes. They have a hate to love relationship and are very mature dealing with issues.

both romances (fantasy love stories) where the male lead is rich and the female lead lives a regular life.

Both female lead are independent and the most talented in their jobs.
Both male lead seems to be stubborn and thinks they are helping the female lead (starts out judging them, but then falls for them).

Not only are the lead couple super cute, but the supporting characters in both dramas are so loveable.

In both dramas
- Boss and Employee Romance
- Rich ML
- Hardworking FL
- ML Falls First
- Contract Relationships

Both are romcom dramas based on the popular webtoons. True Beauty has love triangle. A Business Proposal doesn't have love triangle coz it has two couples.
- FLs wear heavy makeup to makeover but for different purposes.
- MLs look cold but actually respect to women and they are perfect guys in every way.
- Sweet love story with amazing chemistry between couples.

When I was watching "Dreaming of a freaking fairytale, I was always thinking about Business proposal. Also there are some plot we can see in both dramas. We have ceo main lead and a poor clumsy female lead in both. Filled with cute romance along with comedy.

Omg, totally agree!

Both the series have a lot of similarities and the background of Female lead in A business proposal, her neighbourhood, her family and friend all reminds me of Bong Soon.

In both series the Male lead always get stunned by the acts of Female lead. Her actions always leave him in surprise position. Both the Male Lead don't have mother.

ML is FL's boss and she works for him. Their scenes are super cute!

Incase you haven't seen it yet, give it a shot. You will definitely love it. ^.^

Both are contract relationship dramas.

- ML is a rich handsome CEO from rich family
- FM is energic, kinda loud a little quirky but normal girl whose parents own a fried chicken place
- both dramas have similar fun energy and great chemistry

- while similar setup and character backgrounds, both dramas are different enough to not feel like a copy of each other

The chemistry between the two leads are amazing!! Both shows have those cliche and cheesy scenes but it's still so enjoyable to watch. Not to mention the perfect ost too <3

- both are office romance genre
- both male lead act in a particular similar way + losing their parents in a car accident (causing trauma or bad memory)
- both has that romantic comedy genre
- female lead assign her best friend to meet her first love (she was pretty), female was assign by her best friend to go for the blind date (a business proposal)

Career-oriented CEO of Go Food, Keung Tai Mo Tyson, agrees to go on a blind date his grandfather set up for him. Meanwhile, Suen Ho Lee Hollie, a small fry in Go Food, agrees to go on a blind date in her best friend Chan Ying Shu's stead. A love story between the big boss and a low-ranking employee begins with this blind date. On the other hand, Tyson's secretary Cheung Shing Dong Frankie and Chan Ying Shu, a rich man's daughter, fall in love at first sight. The two will experience many unforgettable moments as their relationship develops in this romantic comedy.

Romance-Comedy genre

-The male lead is a rich arrogant man (in an amusing way)
-The comedy is quite similar
-The female lead is quite optimistic and very capable
-She is in a love with another man from the beginning…
-ML chases FL

The blind date idea reminds me of High Society where Park Hyun Sik and UEE characters being set up in a date as well, but end up with different people. Both dramas have Rich-Poor pairing, main couple and second couple.
