- has that blind date concept, only differences Big Data Romance is from an app while Business Proposal through a list of blind dates
- CEO of a company paired with an average female lead
- fake dating concept where in Big Data Romance the male lead agree to pretend dating for the sake of his company but the female lead doesn't know and Business Proposal fake dating with both agreement
- romantic comedy genre
- male lead shows a similar attitude in both dramas

Both series have entertaining leads and you will end up laughing during the episodes because of nonstop comedy factor

In both dramas FL pretends to be somebody else in the first meeting and not intend to fall in love with ML, their first meeting is totally coincidential

FL have a strong bond with her friend who help her out in many situations. Her family runs a small business

ML offers a contract marriage proposal to FL

In both dramas ML have a manager who is also his confidant and adviser.

Charismatic Male Lead and he thinks highly of himself

Contract become real once they start fooling others (In A business proposal for Grandfather and in Once we get married for fashion designer whom they are working with)

ML decides to propose FL

In my opinion A business proposal is more funfilled series and I love the chemistry between Shin Hari and Kang Tae-Moo (Still both share very similar background plot, go for it if you want to watch something with the same kind of story).

Both dramas have a boss - employee relationships. In WWSK the FL is the secretary to her boss, having worked for him for 9 years she suddenly resigns stating "personal reasons" as the cause - we then are led to the ML lead trying to convince her to stay and not resign in which she rejects and he cannot fathom this - this is the superficial plot of the story - there is a deeper story plot behind it all that connects the two of them and makes it more meaningful.
In ABP she works in one of the "food departments" (they create convenient food and flavors that compliment that can be frozen and re-heated and eaten - that's what I understood about it). She hides her identity from her boss, as she met him in disguise previously on a blind date, she was forced to go on the date by her best friend (her best friend was actually the one that was supposed to go on the date) - now she works at the same company as her CEO - hence the fun and drama ensues.

She was thrilled to see her name listed among the credits when she first started. Ki Sun Gyeom had just quit sprinting when he encountered Oh Mi Joo, who felt that destiny most certainly brought them together. Seo Dan Ah is the CEO of a sports agency and rightful successor to the Seomyung Group. Despite this, she is held back from advancing in the company due to her gender. She fiercely wishes to reclaim what is rightfully hers and lives her life accordingly. Lee Young Hwa, a university art major who enjoys movies and drawing soon enters her life. Could romance be in the cards for these two couples?

In both shows, the female leads "fool" the male leads by using false identities.
Both dramas are romantic comedies with sweet female leads and calm & understanding male leads.
