“A Business Proposal” is accused of stealing details from a series of different dramas?
A Business Proposal is a hot topic on film forums because of the humorous situations, natural acting of the cast and the interesting “ancestor bird” trend.
However, the fact that this drama has some details similar to others, especially when some details have become “brands” of a work, will certainly make the audience question the originality of it.

1. Shin Ha Ri’s claw raising gesture
Shin Ha Ri (Kim Se Jeong) once caused a fever in the online community because the playgirl cosplay was too funny in the first meeting with Kang Tae Moo (Ahn Hyo Seop).
Although panicking when she knew that he was her company’s CEO, Ha Ri calmly tried her best to scare him off. In particular, she also made a gesture of raising her cat’s claws, making Director Kang quite speechless.
This detail is said to be similar to the gesture that the female lead Lim Joo Kyung (Moon Ga Young) of True Beauty used to tease Han Seo Joon (Hwang In Yeob) after discovering that he wore leopard patterned pants at home.
The detail went viral on social media when True Beauty was on air, so many people wondered if the writer of A Business Proposal borrowed the idea.
2. CEO Kang “tortured” Ha Ri when he discovered her true identity
A Business Proposal
After discovering that Shin Ha Ri is Shin Geum Hui, the director became angry because he did not expect that assistant Shin could make a fool out of a smart person like him over and over again.
Even though he knew that there was no point in giving Ha Ri a hard time, Kang Tae Moo was determined to tease her and relieve her anger by forcing her to constantly change between Shin Geum Hui and Shin Ha Ri’s identities.
This situation reminds viewers of some segments in the drama Arsenal Military Academy.
Specifically, knowing that his close friend Xie Liang Chen (Bai Lu) is a girl disguised as a boy and the Xie Xiang sister that Xie Liang Chen made up and him is one person, Shen Junshan (Toby Lee) still pretended to know nothing and often go to Xie Liang Chen to announce that he will go to school to meet his sister Xie Xiang to ask her out.
After that, this guy joyfully watched Xie Xiang hurriedly change to female clothes and ran to the girls’ school, then quickly packed up and returned to the military school in male form to avoid being blown.
3. The most remarkable point is the way A Business Proposal builds the main male character. Normally, the characters in Korean movies will be quite close to reality, not being “spoiled in love”, but Kang Tae Moo is different, he is the kind of mastermind that only exists in the story. In fact, Kang Tae Moo is not the only case of “falling in love”, before that, Lee Young Joon (Park Seo Joon) – the male lead Secretary Kim What’s Wrong, also caused fever because of his complacency. Even on social networks, the audience also called Kang Tae Moo a “version” of Lee Young Joon when from the shape to the personality, expression, way of love, of jealousy, all were like copies of the original.
A Business Proposal is airing on both television and online platforms from February 28th on every Monday and Tuesday.
