PENDING APPROVAL

The big day is finally here. Taemu takes Hari to meet his grandfather and receive his blessing…only for her to be flat-out rejected! But Hari has come too far to give up. Fishing, hiking, watching dramas―if it means getting on the chairman’s good side, she’ll do it all! Meanwhile, Yeongsuh faces relationship problems of her own when her father tracks down the lowly secretary who dares date his daughter. And when Sunghoon comes back from the meeting, he seems a changed man, his face devoid of its usual warmth and sweetness…

Meh. My interest in this one has kind of sputtered and died. I love the feast for my eyes, this one was full of pretty pretty men, but the problems the couples are having are more self imposed than external and it gets annoying when you know how it’s all going to end. Would love to see a parallel world storyline where she ended up dating Minwoo, just to see how that would have turned out. I don’t think he was a huge jerk, just unsure and late to the game.

3, I want to see that storyline, stars.

3/5✨

Chapters 53-64

Taemu's grandpa is not as frustrating in the webtoon as he is in the drama. I also like that he intervened and helped Sunghoon and Yeongsuh! The Minwoo arc plays out differently in the webtoon. I don't see Minwoo and Hari becoming amicable again like they do in the drama. And finally...new character alert! 👀

DNF’d. It’s going in circles again and again. The best friend is selfish and absolutely terrible—she blackmails Hari into doing her bidding, using her debt as a way to manipulate her into going on a blind date with a man she doesn’t want to go on a date with. She abandons Hari each time for love and just so downright stupid, it’s maddening.

Hari is an immature, dimwitted brat. It was a part of her charm before, but god do I want to strangle her now. I’d have thought her recent conversation with Minwo whatever would change her outlook in her life and behavior, but all she did was realize he was a coward, and THEN PROCEEDED TO CONTINUE BEING A COWARD, TOO. Instead of actually confessing her true feelings for Mr. Kang, she proposes another round of fucking contractual dating.

No. Just no. Fucking move on from that already.

Mr. Kang, on the other hand… his only redeeming quality is that he’s attractive. He’s a CEO, but God does he lack brain cells and intellect necessary to proceed with critical thinking. And don’t get me started on the grandfather.

I can’t deal with this anymore. The last few chapters were an absolute nail-ripping torture for the sake of drama to further the plot.

Est-ce que je vis ma best life ? Oui ! Est-ce que c’est nul de devoir attendre la suite maintenant ? OUI (bon en vrai c’est moi qui décide d’attendre en vrai 😂)
Vraiment je pensais pas que j’allais autant accrocher là où j’avais pas été transcendée par le drama !
En tout cas si vous avez aimé le drama ne passez pas à côté de l’occasion de lire le webtoon vous allez vraiment passer un très bon moment

So much eye candy in this series lol

Love how much Yeongsuh loves her man.

[Bianca Bonavento · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 ⭐️

A Business Proposal, Vol. 5 creo que hasta la fecha mi favorito. En esta entrega, seguimos profundizando en la complicada relación de nuestros protagonistas que esta repleta de idas y venidas.

Una historia rápida, emotiva y super entretenida.

Amo tanto la amistad de estás dos tanto en el Manhwa como en el kdrama, son tan lindas ✨🩷

[Craig Schorling · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume wasn't quite as good as the previous ones. It does have some fun drama and twists but the stuff with the Grandfather wasn't all that interesting. This felt more like setting the stage for the upcoming volumes. I'm still on board for this as it is always a fun read.

[Reibekah · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's interesting because between vol 4 and 5 I watched the k-drama which did change things.

[❤️My Dog is my Best Friend❤️ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The grandpa was a literal icon.

Also the amount of times I had to set this book down to swoon has to be unhealthy.

[Izzy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I live for the drama. So much good content fit into this bad boy! One of my favorite volumes so far!

[Aurora · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another very fun volume, even if the main romance is getting a bit dragged on.

[Cassandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much fun to read. I laugh so much at the chaotic nature of this story. I enjoy both our main couples and Hari’s family.

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just adorable with very appealing characters.

[Izzy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Powracająca drama zaczyna chwilami irytować, ale dziadek robi swoje plus niektóre panele były tak cudowne, że nie mogę dać niżej.

Ha-ri'nin kardeşi Rin Itoshi ve Nico di Angelo karışımı bi vibe veriyor

⭐4.5 stars⭐

[Reuben Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I particularly loved all the Yeongsuh content in this volume 👌

[Shirley · Rating 4 out of 5]

So my sister recommended me this series and it was sooo much fun to read, it was hilarious and lovely but also sensual that I blushed in some scenes, it feels too intense for me lol 😅 I like both the plot and characters, besides the slimy squid I don't have characters I dislike here. The plot is interesting and simple, everytime new conflict arise it get solved in 2-3 chapters so there's no unnecessary drama. I adores the Ha-ri's family dynamic both with her brother and parents, friendship between her and her best friend, the dynamic between Kang family, the office dynamic too, and of course each couple dynamic; let's not forget that I love the art style so much. I only have good words for this book, please give it a try if you're interested!

[eena · Rating 3 out of 5]

the plot is literally going in circles so there's nothing much to say . minwoo and cho yeojun (whatever her name is) KEEP showing up to portray them as a conflict and it's getting tiring. the author's used them for like 4 times for another problem to show up and it's just so old and cliché. the webtoon is dragging unnecessarily and the author keeps adding characters that has no essence in the plot at all. the communication and romance between the lead couples (ESPECIALLY the second leads please take note) make up for this volume but that's about it.
