These 6 Netflix K-Dramas of 2023 Are a Must-Watch For 'Business Proposal' Fans

One of the best examples of breezy yet witty K-dramas is Business Proposal, which offers a lighthearted boss-subordinate love story. The show is nothing super original, but that doesn't make the show any less decent, and no matter how high your expectations are, the plot is unlikely to disappoint.

Netflix has plenty of other great K-dramas to offer, especially those released in 2023, that will please just as much as Business Proposal.

Destined with You departs from the boss-subordinate trope but continues the theme of fate bringing seemingly unlikely people together. Only this time, it was not fate that brought the two protagonists, but reincarnation that reunited the lovers after 300 years.

According to the story, Lee Hong-jo (Jo Bo-ah), a civil servant, has to investigate a temple where she finds a mysterious, centuries-old book. She also finds a talented lawyer, Jang Shin-yu (Rowoon), who turns out to be under a curse, and now only Hong-jo can help him as she obtained the book.
