Se Noi Soeng Can

The Hong Kong adaptation of the Korean Business Proposal is a fun and lighthearted romantic comedy that is sure to entertain viewers of all ages.

The show does a great job of balancing humor and romance, and the characters are all likable and charming. The chemistry between CEO Timo (Anson Lo) and Hollie (Hanna Chan) is undeniable, and it is easy to root for them to get together. There is also Alfred (Edan Lui), the CEO's assistant, and Ying Shu (Shirley Sham) play a cute couple but still have a warm relationship. Timo's Grandpa and Team 1 deserve credit for the show's well-developed supporting characters, who add a lot of humor and heart.

One of the things that makes the show so enjoyable is the way it showcases Hong Kong culture. The show does a great job of capturing the city's unique atmosphere and scenery as well as embedding Hong Kong's lingo and humor. I enjoyed this show just as much as the original. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a light and entertaining show to watch.

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 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.

Business Proposal is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a romantic comedy. It originated from a web drama which was later made into a webcomic and a Korean TV drama. The Viu TV Production Team has remade the drama and preserved the comic style while adding a fine touch of the Hong Kong local culture and customised lines to associate this drama with the actors' personal experiences. Anson Lo (@ansonlht) stroke a well-thought-out balance between the main character Timo's egocentrism as a genius at work and cuteness as a relatively late bloomer in love. Hanna Chan (@hannachanx) played Hollie's shy innocence and Mei Ling's seductive acts with slight arrogance just right. Timo and Hollie's interactions are fun and heart-warming to watch. It's cuteness and romance overload that will surely alleviate some stress from daily life.

I must say, this remake does the 2022 Business Proposal justice! This drama is fast-paced and hilarious... it has its own flair apart from the original version. This 2023 version is based in Hong Kong, so it may have a few jokes catered to the Cantonese-speaking audience, however, I don't think it hinders the enjoyment-factor at all.

Kudos to the cast as they do a great job at their own take of the characters. The chemistry between Timo (Anson Lo) and Hollie (Hanna Chan) is undeniable. The brotherhood and friendship of Timo and Alfred (Edan Lui) is shown especially well here. And I also absolutely adore the grandpa (Kar-Ying Law)!

Highly recommended. Give it a watch if you haven't seen it!
