The Episode Review
This episode is full of jealous posturing from Tae-moo and Min-woo. There’s little to endear Tae-moo to Ha-ri in his recent actions, as he doesn’t respect any of her wishes or boundaries. A few smiles whenever she thinks of him seems to be the only evidence we have of her feelings for him–and it’s not enough to make me believe in that kiss.
Business Proposal is a unique dating show because it always keeps you guessing. Other fake-dating shows often draw out the same situation over several episodes. The dynamic between Ha-ri and Tae-moo is always changing, however. While often outlandish, the scenarios they find themselves in are interesting, to say the least. ..
After Ha-ri kissed Tae-moo, their problems only seem to be getting worse. How will they be able to corroborate all of their stories with Chairman Kang, Min-woo, and Ha-ri’s co-workers and family? ..
