This one slightly flew under the radar.
-ML is the CEO.
FL is extremely awkward and a klutz.
They start living together after a few accidents.
They're hiding their love at the workplace as much as they can.

If you have enjoyed A Business Proposal, you must not miss the original Full House (2004). Full House (2004) is considered a pioneer of the Korean rom-com genre and the many rom-com clichés of rich male lead, boss-employee relationship, contract marriage, and bickering couple. Plus see Rain and Song Hye Kyo in their younger days in a boisterous and silly rom-com back in 2004. Also this drama was such a great success in Asia, propelling the Korean Wave and has been remade in other countries including Thailand, the Philippines, China and Taiwan.

- both have a little narcissistic, rich and CEO ML's;
- smart and hardworking FL's;
- ML falls in love first;
- office romance;
it was the firework scenes that matched these two romcoms for me, the only big differences, aside the duration of the dramas, are the time loop thing in SBWRE and the fake relationship in BP.

the ceo vibes from both the dramas are another level. With a goofy female lead and the cold male lead... it makes an ideal drama for rom-com watchers like me.

From C to K drama. Despite being from two different countries, the similarities are as follow:
- both MLs owns or family own a successful food platform company
- both FLs works for the said organisation
- secondary couples are part of the charm of both dramas
- both FLs have female besties who are loyal and protects their respective FLs
Recommended by Lady Ajumma
If you love romcom, both of these two share similar vibes. So, while I was watching Business Proposal, I suddenly remembered our silly Top Star Yoo Baek. Both Kang Tae Moo and Yoo Baek are similar with how they are 'superstars' in their own way, and they are hilarious at showing it, and how madly in love both of them with their woman. *Swoon*

Both have a rich handsome male lead and their plots/antics make you happy. When you are in need of a little bit of that precious feeling, check the other one out too!
