Se Noi Soeng Can

This is a remake base on the Korean Drama Business Proposal from Hong Kong . The two main actors playing CEO Timo by Anson Lo and his secretary Alfred by Edan Liu are both very handsome and the acting was very good . The two main actresses did well too especially Hanna Chan . I can easily felt the chemistry between Timo and Hollie. It was romantic Hong Kong version was filmed adding Hong Kong culture and in comic book style , which is cool and very funny. The pace was faster when compared to the Korean version , which I like . Overall, well made and I enjoyed it very much .

Highly recommended.

I rarely leave reviews; however, the Hong Kong remake of the K-drama Business Proposal definitely deserves one.

It is a cute and engaging romance/comedy that got me hooked for nearly a month. It holds a balance of reality, warmth and comedy. It simply just makes you smile. The show is about a middle-class girl who went on a blind date for her best friend and ended up being paired with her very-wealthy boss from work. It might sound cliché but I promise you, the show is more intriguing than it sounds.

The cast in this show has undeniably great onscreen chemistry. I especially love the male leads, Anson Lo and Edan Lui, for how charismatic and expressive they are. They captured their characters well and gave off completely different vibes in the drama. They are perfect for their roles. It's not hard to see much effort was put into the script as well. The jokes are on point and I for sure had a good laugh while watching the show.

Bossy, narcissistic Timo found himself in big trouble when he went for a blind date, the almighty Boss fell head over heels in love with one of his staff and realised there is finally one thing he can't conquer. Lovely and charming Hollie found herself got stuck in a difficult situation when she stood in for her friend to a blind date and found out the counterpart of the match making was her boss. Whether their love blossom and find their destiny?

Business Proposal is a remake of the hit Korean drama. A funny, fast pacing and romantic drama leads audiences down the route to finding love with the background of match making sometimes deter with class status.

I love this remake version of Business Proposal. Every actor performed well, especially my favourite artist Anson Lo. Anson plays the role of Timo, and he perfectly interprets the CEO's tough and dominant on the outside, but gentle and caring inside character. Especially in the eighth episode, Timo was caught in heavy rain while driving his car, which evoked the pain and fear in his heart about his parents' death in a car accident on a rainy day. The other main characters are all very likable. In addition, the plot incorporates many local elements and slangs, making it more relatable to Hong Kong. Although the plot of this drama has been slightly modified, this actually makes the plot smoother. Business Proposal is definitely my favourite TV drama in the year.

I have watched 7 episodes so far and already I am feeling like I don't want this series to end (there are 15 episodes in total so we are half-way). I had a lot of expectations for this drama, because Anson Lo and Edan Lui are two actors I love to watch based on their hugely entertaining and successful remake of Ossan's Love Hong Kong version. This time round, they are cast as the male leads in this remake of a hit Korean drama, and I couldn't contain my excitement. And the great news is, they really don't disappoint! Anson Lo's Timo is a drop-dead gorgeous CEO who is a bit too into himself, while Edan Lui's Alfred is a caring PA who takes care of all the details. They are both playing characters in this drama that are different from roles they had played before, but they play as good brothers in this drama which meant they are perfectly cast as they are best friends in real life, and their camaraderie with each other is palpable through the screen.

What is really impressive is the great chemistry between Anson Lo's Timo and Hanna Chan's Hollie. Hanna had already starred in two of Anson's music videos before, so I already knew that they look great together as an on-screen couple. What is surprising is how well they play against each other in dialogue. Especially in the fifth episode, when they went on that first anniversary date, they are oh-so-sweet together. In the sixth episode, when Timo was fantasizing about unmasking Hollie's double identity at the company ceremony, Hollie absolutely aced the comic timing and pacing. Timo's solo scene when he was realising he has developed feelings for Hollie was also very touching (but me and lots of fans were also distracted by Anson's rippling back muscles in his tight top :D).

I'm really looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes, but at the same time I don't want this series to end too soon. This Hong Kong version has been very thoughtful in the edits made to the script to include meaningful references to the local culture, and to Canto speakers, the dialogue is snappy and full of up-to-date cultural references. This Hong Kong remake version has remained faithful to the Korean version in plot and set-up, but they also infused this drama with local Hong Kong flavour, and as a diasporic Hongkonger, I am grateful for these respectful nods to my home city. I am hopeful that people would be open-minded about this Hong Kong remake version the way they had been open-minded about Ossan's Love Hong Kong version. This is a remake version that does justice to the original version, and we can enjoy and appreciate both.

I will definitely continue to watch this!!
