Business Proposal – The Fake Dating Trope We Can’t Get Enough Of
Ah, the classic fake dating trope—when two people pretend to be in a relationship and (obviously) end up catching real feelings. Business Proposal gives us all of that and more, wrapped in a hilarious and heart-fluttering package.
📌 The story: Shin Ha Ri, a hardworking office employee, goes on a blind date to help out her bestie, Jin Young Seo. The plan? To make sure the guy—Kang Tae Moo, a chaebol (rich CEO)—hates her and rejects the proposal. But plot twist: Kang Tae Moo isn’t just any guy—he’s the new CEO of the company she works for! 😱
Instead of rejecting her, he offers her a deal: pretend to be his fiancée for money so he can avoid more blind dates set up by his grandfather. Sounds like a perfect plan, right? Well… not really. Because as they spend more time together, the fake feelings start turning real. And let’s just say, the chemistry between these two is off the charts!

But just when you think this is a simple love story, another handsome guy, Han Seo Jun, enters the picture, and boom—a love triangle is born.
