“Is this a kissing book?” This is the question posed by the grandson to his Peter Falk grandfather in The Princess Bride. It’s a question I pose in all unseriousness here. A Business Proposal is unequivocally a kissing book. Unless it’s a fuddy duddy historical drama, it’s more or less expected that two people at the centre of the narrative who have strong feelings for each other will lock lips to seal the deal as it were. However, in a kissing book, a kiss also acts to complicate matters particularly if it is expressed in an untimely fashion as seen in Episode 7.
Wow.. you actually did squeeze out interesting content from this drama, and I’m not surprised. For me, at first this show was a no-no. But it strangely grew on me, maybe because I’ve been super tired from work lately and I get to enjoy a little no-brainer every Monday Tuesday. I’ve never actually focused on the how’s and why’s of this drama, I was content with the over the top visuals, honestly. I was simply satisfied because even though this has got a cliché story line, supporting characters built in order to get the main leads together, it still is a drama which runs at a fair pace, no unnecessary dragging, no useless flashbacks (something I’ve personally always disliked).
But your observation here is impressive and showed me another angle of the show which, I’m now coming to realise, is in fact, logical.
Your last observation - "What Ha-ri wants, whether she knew it or not, is to be wanted… to be loved passionately… and to be kissed." - really moved me. I was quite annoyed by Min-woo's appearance in the show because he just enjoys having Ha-ri nearby. But Ha-ri is meant to be deeply loved and cared, and Tae-mu is here for that!
