A Business Proposal, Vol. 1 by Haehwa, Perilla
3.0
Eh, nothing really grabbed me here. The art is cute, but the story already feels like it will somehow be way too long.
This plot would not make any sense unless this takes place in a world where the internet doesn't exist. I can't believe two chaebols wouldn't at least do a cursory google (naver??) search before a blind date with a child of a conglomerate or important company. There's no way Hari's friend isn't online and there's no way Kang wouldn't have been online either. Even if he didn't care about the blind date, I find it hard to believe that, in his quest to find his date again, he never thought to just search for her online and find out he went out with an imposter. Especially before telling his grandfather he was going to marry her.
In some ways, the plot between the secretary and Hari's friend was more interesting of a story.
Really, I think the only reason this story wasn't simplified into Hari just being the chaebol that tries to ruin a blind date was that so many stories are cold chaebol/warm regular girl trope and that's why we get this plot that only works in a world without the internet.
This didn't interest me enough to keep reading, but I may check out the show
