Compared to the webtoon, the drama version of "A Business Proposal" has a few slight differences.

"A Business Proposal" is a drama adapted from a popular webtoon. This is also one of the main reasons why audiences are interested in watching each episode. In addition, the top fan attraction factor of "A Business Proposal" must also include the cast that look almost exactly like the original characters. Let’s compare the visuals of the webtoon version with the drama version to see what’s the difference!

Kim Se Jeong's Character Modified To Be More Suitable For The Screen

Compared to the original, the image of Shin Ha Ri (Kim Se Jeong) has been modified to be more suitable for the screen.

However, this luxurious image in the film still successfully scored points with the audience. Besides, Ha Ri's expression as well as office fashion are both very similar to the webtoon version.

Shin Ha Ri is is an ordinary office worker who disguises herself as a vixen and goes on a blind date with a prospective marriage partner at the place of her close friend after she requested it. But it turned out to be the CEO of her company.

Shin Ha Ri’s TV version looks gentler and loses her signature pink hair.

Ahn Hyo Seop's Is Quite Similar to the Webtoon Version

It can be said that the image of the male lead Kang Tae Moo (Ahn Hyo Seop) is quite similar to the webtoon version.

However, in terms of the cool and gentle aura like in the webtoon, perhaps we still have to wait for Ahn Hyo Seop to improve in the coming episodes.

Ahn Hyo Seop’s acting and visuals are being compared to the model of Park Seo Joon.

Kang Tae Moo is a very handsome chaebol and he is also the new CEO of Ha Ri's company. He is smart, skilled, and sexy. He is a workaholic who hates lies and has not much experience in love due to past trauma.

Seol In Ah's Charisma Is More Outstanding Than The Webtoon

The tycoon best friend Jin Young Seo (Seol In Ah) is currently very popular with the audience because of her straightforward personality and the right image of a tycoon.

Compared to the webtoon version, perhaps the real-life version is more overwhelming because the actress’ charisma is so outstanding.

Jin Young Seo is the best friend of Shin Ha Ri and the only child of a huge group.

She is part of the broadcasting department and DJ’s a pirate radio show where she passionately shares concerns with listeners about this era, society, school, and individual life.

Kim Min Kyu's Character Has The Closest Image To The Original Webtoon

Among the main characters, perhaps the secretary Sung Hoon (Kim Min Kyu) has the closest image to the original.

Besides the sweet appearance, Kim Min Gyu is also highly appreciated by the audience for his expression and charisma.

Sung Hoon is the chief of staff of Kang Tae Mu.

Chef Min Woo Is Way Beyond The Webtoon Version

The chef Min Woo who is pursued by Ha Ri turned out to have a sweet and captivating image in the drama that is way beyond the webtoon version. No wonder why the female lead pursues him!

Shin Ha Ri‘s Younger Brother

Shin Ha Ri‘s younger brother, Shin Ha Min also has the same image as the original. Although this character hasn’t appeared yet, maybe in the near future the audience will go crazy because of Ha Min‘s visuals!

"A Business Proposal" is about ordinary office worker disguises herself and goes on a blind date with her attractive boss in the place of her friend to end this unwanted marriage blind date after her request.

It airs on SBS every Monday and Tuesday night.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
