The Episode Review
This episode of “Business Proposal” is a lot of fun. It’s full of ludicrous incidents, and the humor comes through in the way that these situations are handled. The proposal itself is also very funny, encouraging viewers to laugh out loud.
The showrunners seem to be trying too hard with Yu-jeong, a character who has barely been featured before now. However, her subplot keeps with the show’s trend of throwing its hands in the air whenever it comes to developing Young-seo’s and Seong-hoon’s relationship.
Despite the Chairman’s growing dislike of Ha-ri, their budding relationship is shown to be sweet in this installment. However, with Chairman Kang’s increasing dislike of her, their connection may be threatened even when it is stronger than ever. ..
