One of the best romcoms of 2022, ‘Business Proposal’ is the kind of Korean drama most viewers were waiting for. Starring Ahn Hyo Seop, Kim Se Jeong, Kim Min Kyu, Seol In Ah, and Lee Deok Hwa, the show includes a girl who meets a chaebol instead of her friend, an adorable second lead couple and a relatable grandpa. Here are shows that give you the same feeling.
1. The Secret Life Of My Secretary
This drama has the popular trope of a CEO falling in love with his secretary. The CEO suffers from face blindness and his secretary accidentally starts pretending to be his rich blind date. This drama too has two cute second leads who have a love story of their own.
2. School 2017
Similar to all the shows in the ‘School’ franchise, this drama too focuses on the academic pressure students face, class discrimination, family problems, etc. Business Proposal’s best friends, played by Se Jeong and In Ah star as classmates in this drama. But their relationship here is entirely different.
3. Suspicious Partner
Filled with a lot of mystery, this drama is on this list for two reasons. One, it has a sweet office romance and two couples. The second reason is, veteran actor Lee Deok Hwa plays the representative of a popular law firm and has a comic relationship with the main leads.
4. Abyss
To the ones searching for a cute rom-com with Ahn Hyo Seop as the lead, ‘Abyss’ is the best choice. It is a drama about two dead friends who get a chance to live again but with different appearances. It is a perfect blend of romance, fantasy and mystery.
5. My Shy Boss
A popular trend these days, this drama has a calm boyfriend and a hyper girlfriend. The drama is about an introverted CEO who cannot overcome his past trauma. The entry of a rookie employee to his public relations firm turns his life around.
6. My Secret Romance
Another office romance on the list, ‘My Secret Romance,’ is the perfect weekend binge because of the number of episodes it has. The female lead of this drama works in the nutrition team and is in charge of her boss’ diet. But both of them have a secret they pretend to ignore.
7. So I Married An Anti-Fan
This drama has the enemies-to-lovers trope just like ‘Business Proposal.’ The drama is about an idol who has to star in a show with his anti-fan. The drama has the leads falling in love with each other though their relationship had a wrong start.
8. Her Private Life
This drama is on the list not just because of the ‘office romance’ storyline. Just like Kim Se Jeong’s character hiding her identity, this drama’s lead hides her identity as an idol fan. The moments that lead to the discovery of their identity might give feelings of similarity to the viewers.
9. She Was Pretty
This drama too has a friend who replaces her best friend on a date. But the fated lead couple are slightly different in this drama and the love story is between the male lead and the friend who missed the blind date. The drama sounds complicated and will also leave viewers feeling bad for the second lead.
10. Something About 1 Percent
The main similarities between these two dramas are the rich male leads and their grandpas forcing them to get married. It also has a cute love story between the leads who start a contract relationship but they end up falling in love before the contract ends.
