Contents & Story Highlights
Shin Ha-Ri steps in to attend a blind date in place of her chaebol heiress friend Jin Yeong-Seo, planning only to scare the man off. Her goal is simple: make sure the date fails. But things take an unexpected turn when she discovers that her blind date partner is none other than her company’s CEO, Kang Tae-Mu.
Instead of being offended, Tae-Mu bluntly proposes marriage to Ha-Ri’s fabricated persona, Kim Shin. “Let’s get married.” “What?” “If you don’t dislike me, is there a problem?” From that moment, Ha-Ri must desperately hide her real identity at work while dealing with a boss who is determined to marry the woman he met on that date.
This volume deepens the push-and-pull between a woman who cannot afford to be found out and a man who has decided he will absolutely marry her, delivering a sweet yet sharp office romance across Episodes 53–64.

Embrace the tantalizing escapades within ‘A Business Proposal Vol.5’ as it dances gracefully through the labyrinth of unexpected love! Captivating character dynamics illuminate shades reminiscent of ‘Kiss Me!’ and uncover elements reflective in classics like ‘My Secret Romance.’ While glossed settings dazzle, emotions plunge into intriguing depth without wallowing in tired tropes; feel a breath deepened by art’s earnest charm versus passive storyline fare.

In het vijfde deel van deze sprankelende webtoon, ‘A Business Proposal’, worden we opnieuw meegenomen op een chaotische rit vol verrassingen en verleidingen. De intrigerende dynamiek tussen Ha-Ri, die voortdurend haar ware identiteit probeert te beschermen, en Kang Tae-Mu – zijn stoorzender gedreven door resultaatgerichtheid – is werkelijk meeslepend. Voor mijn gevoel mengt dit verhaal de kwetsbaarheid van romantiek met briljante komedie die herkenbare kantoor-situaties toont voor jonge professionals zoals ikzelf hier in Amsterdam. Vergeet niet je volgende bladzijde te omdraaien terwijl zowel harten als verwachtingen ontwaken!

Navigating through the chaos of workplace hierarchies and secret identities in ‘A Business Proposal’ Vol.5 was surprisingly engaging! Shin Ha-Ri’s escapades have a mix of slapstick humor intertwined with sincere moments, reflecting contemporary office life issues. I started reading skeptically, anticipating yet another cliché narrative filled with predictable outcomes; however, HaeHwa’s writing deftly introduces layers of complexity that transcend typical rom-com boundaries. The vibrant dialogues pull readers in, bridging cultural nuances elegantly between romance and personal struggle. Overall, it’s a delightful gem packed into charming illustrations – truly worth your time for an immersive experience from Korea’s webtoon realm.
