Business Proposal is a Netflix Series released in 2022.
What is the best way to avoid going on blind dates? There are two different answers to that question.
1) Get your friend to show up for the date in your place and have her put on an act that will make the blind date run away and never look back!
-OR-
2) Propose marriage to your blind date. For real?? No! Of course, it is not a real marriage proposal. But it is a real business proposal.
- Shin Ha-ri (played by Kim Se-jeong) works as part of Go Food's Food Development Team One.
She not only comes up with great recipes but creative ideas of how to turn the company's food products into best sellers. Her parents run a restaurant that sells great fried chicken. Her family, which also includes a younger brother, is not rich but they live comfortably and are happy. Her BFF (best friend forever) is Jin Young-seo.
Jin Young-seo hates the idea of arranged marriages and wants to marry for love. The problem is she keeps getting set up to go on blind dates to meet her “future husband”. But it's not really a “problem” because she has found the perfect way to get out of going on these dates. She sends her BFF instead.
- Kang Tae-moo (played by Ahn Hyo-seop) is the president of Go Food.
He did not work his way up the corporate ladder. His grandfather put him in charge. But nobody can accuse him of not doing his job. He runs the business operations successfully, not just in South Korea, but in foreign markets as well.
Kang Tae-moo's grandfather wants him to marry so that hopefully he will see his grandchild before he departs this life. But Tae-moo has “issues” and does his best to avoid marriage. Kang Tae-moo's grandfather orders him to go on blind dates until he finds the woman who will become his mate for life. OR ELSE!!
Shin Ha-ri shows up pretending to be Young-seo, not realizing that the blind date is HER BOSS! Shin Ha-ri does everything she can to discourage him and make him dislike her, not realizing that Tae-moo didn't want to be on the date either. Tae-moo thinks her behavior is strange but he is distracted by his own thoughts. He's thinking of how to avoid the remaining blind dates his grandfather set up for him. He comes up with the perfect way to get out of going on these dates. He proposes marriage to Shin Ha-ri. WHAT???!!!! No worries. It's not a marriage proposal. It's a business proposal. Shin Ha-ri signs a contract pretending to be his future wife. She goes FROM pretending for her best friend TO pretending for her best friend's blind date. That way Kang Tae-moo's grandfather can stop pestering him and he can keep being married to his work.Why do the best-laid plans always seem to backfire?
