Do you agree or disagree with this review? 

"A Business Proposal" is one of the most well-received K-dramas lately after only 4 episodes. Adapted from the webtoon of the same name, "A Business Proposal" brings together a young and potential cast including Ahn Hyo Seop, Kim Se Jeong, Kim Min Kyu and Seol In Ah.

Despite drawing compliments from the majority of viewers, there are still some negative reviews calling out the drama’s cliché overused plot and overacting.

Ahn Hyo Seop once shared that his character did not have a realistic image to refer to, so he and the crew had to spend a lot of time and effort to bring Kang Tae Moo to the screen. 

The outfits, hairstyle, gestures and speech mannerisms are all paid attention to in order to turn Ahn Hyo Seop into a perfect Kang Tae Moo coming out of the webtoon.

Kang Tae Moo is a character who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He also has complex thoughts, so it is not an easy role. 

Recently, Korean media channel Ten Asia gave a negative review of Ahn Hyo Seop‘s portrayal of Kang Tae Moo, saying that he failed to deliver the image of CEO Kang to the viewers in a convincing way. 

In particular, Ten Asia emphasized that Ahn Hyo Seop‘s adjustment of his voice has backfired, only making it sound awkward and forced. Ahn Hyo Seop previously revealed that he tried to show a different tone from his usual voice for the character. 

Regarding the female lead Kim Se Jeong, she was positively evaluated by Ten Asia for her acting ability. The role of Shin Ha Ri is a bit exaggerated, but Kim Se Jeong excellently highlights the character’s charm.

Besides, it is predicted that if the script continues to have silly funny plot details and exaggerated characters, the audience might get bored.

Shin Ha Ri is an ordinary office worker who disguises herself as a vixen and goes on a blind date with a prospective marriage partner at the place of her close friend after she requested it. But it turned out to be the CEO of her company. 

However, it is impossible not to recognize the success of "A Business Proposal". The drama is heating up day by day and is expected to gain explosive ratings in the near future.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
