Despite Chairman Kang’s encouragement, Tae-moo is still seeing someone. He promises to introduce her soon, but he doesn’t know if his grandson will like her. ..
Ha-ri tells her friend, Young-seo, about how she’s going to break up with her boyfriend, Seong-hoon. When the two of them see Seong-hoon and Tae-moo together, they get into a taxi and follow them.
They follow Seong-hoon to an orphanage, where his mom introduces herself to Young-seo. Young-seo chats one-on-one with her, learning that Seong-hoon was five when he first came to the orphanage. She also learns of Tae-moo’s parents, who supported the orphanage when they were alive. Tae-moo, meanwhile, explains to Ha-ri that Seong-hoon came to live with him when he was in middle school.
Young-seo accepts Seong-hoon’s apology, and the four of them hang out together at Ha-ri’s place, as her parents are out of town. Tae-moo even apologizes personally to Young-seo, bribing her with an embarrassing video of Seong-hoon.
A group of couples are eating at a restaurant when one of the couples spills soda on their shirt. The couple takes the spill victim to another room so they can change. ..
Ha-ri’s parents get back early, so Ha-ri pushes Tae-moo into her room. While her parents eat with Young-seo and Seong-hoon, she eventually manages to sneak him out of the house–only to be caught by her brother, Ha-min.
The president of GOFood and Ha-ri’s boyfriend tell him the truth about their relationship. They love each other instantly, and promise not to tell their parents about it.
The next morning, Young-seo and Seong-hoon work out together. Someone secretly takes pictures of them and brings them to Young-seo’s father.
Ha-ri declines the invitation, stating that she is not interested in getting drinks with Yoo-ra. Min-woo walks out of the bar feeling hurt and betrayed. ..
Ha-ri doesn’t care to involve herself in their drama. She excuses herself to call Tae-moo and ask him on a date.
They go out together the next night, and it rains heavily. Ha-ri tries to avoid the rain to keep Tae-moo from thinking about that fateful rainy night.
Ha-ri leaves her date early to meet with Chairman Kang, who has received pictures of her and Tae-moo. He knows she is Geum-hui. ..
Tae-moo turns quickly, so that a motorcycle drives right in front of his path.
Chairman Kang asks Ha-ri to stop seeing Tae-moo. Just then, he gets a call from Seong-hoon about Tae-moo.
The Episode Review
It can be hard to keep track of who knows what about the Ha-ri/Tae-moo situation. Ha-ri’s parents think Tae-moo is Mr. Gye, Min-woo knows about the fake-dating contract, Ha-min is tickled that Ha-ri is dating her very rich boss–and now Chairman Kang may just have figured out everything!
Chairman Kang Da-goo has been portrayed in a negative light so far, and his motivations for asking Ha-ri to stop seeing Tae-moo don’t make sense. The scenario comes across as lazy writing more than anything.
Episode 10 of Business Proposal provides a fun group dynamic between the four main characters. While the twist at the end is disappointing, overall this episode provides a enjoyable experience.
The three main characters in this show have great chemistry together. I hope we can see that in the coming episodes.
