I Highly Recommend the Fun K-Melo Drama “Business Proposal(사내맞선)”
If you’ve watched K-pop Demon Hunters, it’s a must-see drama
If you are searching for a drama that is fun, romantic, and ridiculously easy to binge, let me introduce one that Koreans and international fans equally adore: Business Proposal. This show is the perfect combination of bubbly energy, modern humor, and addictive chemistry. It is the kind of drama you start “just to try,” then finish by 3 a.m. wondering what happened to your self-control.
As a Korean local, I can confirm this drama was a national trend. People quoted lines, reenacted scenes, and joked that every real-life office crush suddenly felt more dramatic because of it. And honestly, I understand the hype.
A Fun Hidden Connection: Why This Drama Is Extra Worth Watching
Here is a surprising reason Business Proposal is even more enjoyable: it is secretly connected to the global hit Netflix movie K-pop Demon Hunters.
Yes, really.
Maggie Kang, the director of K-pop Demon Hunters, actually watched Business Proposal while working on the film. She ended up incorporating several homages and references to this drama. Finding those little moments is like spotting Easter eggs throughout the episodes.
Here is another fun detail. Nam Hyo-seop, the actor who voices Jinwoo in K-pop Demon Hunters, was cast because Maggie Kang saw him speaking English in Business Proposal and immediately selected him for the role.
So if you have watched K-pop Demon Hunters, you will notice many familiar visual cues and scenes while watching Business Proposal.
What Makes Business Proposal So Addictive
This drama blends classic rom-com charm with sharp, modern humor. It never takes itself too seriously, but the characters have enough depth to keep you invested.
Here is what you can expect:
- A fake-dating setup that naturally turns into real romance
- A confident CEO who is unintentionally hilarious
- A lovable heroine who constantly finds herself in chaotic situations

It gives you all the rom-com satisfaction without unnecessary melodrama. Perfect for unwinding after a long day.
The Chemistry Is Next Level
