-both are in a work environment
-both have two couples
-both are hiding something

In both Dramas you will laugh, the couples are very good together. One of them is colder and the other has a more extroverted temperament.

Secret Garden was a phenomenal hit romcom drama with fantasy elements in it. A Business Proposal is a cliche romcom.
Both have rich & cold CEOs as male leads, hardworking & strong girls as female leads. Both dramas have main couple and second couple.
Amazing chemistry between leads,
Good acting,
Outstanding visuals

Created by the same people. They have the same kind of comedy with both couples working together. Different genres but the same kind of sunshine heroine vs grumpy hero in terms of the romance. There’s a hilarious older man character in both dramas too.

The similarities between these dramas:
- Both female lead fake their identities
- Cliché and old school romance comedy dramas with modern execution and very well produced
- Absurd and funny characters, especially female lead
- Cold and charismatic male lead
- Poor female lead x rich male lead

Both have rich male leads. Both MLs are CEO.

Gu Seo Jin is a third-generation chaebol who runs the theme park Wonder Land. He seemingly has everything — looks, brains, and fortune. But a traumatic incident in his childhood resulted in Seo Jin having a split personality — one is a cold, ruthless man, while the other is the polar opposite, someone kind and gentle. Because of this, he vows never to date or marry. Seo Jin wants to get rid of the circus show at Wonder Land due to low ticket sales and high overhead costs, but he butts heads with circus master Jang Ha Na. Ha Na insists on saving the failing circus and dreams of revamping it back to its former glory. She soon finds herself falling for both of Seo Jin's personalities.

Adapted from the webtoon "Dr. Jekyll is Mr. Hyde by Lee Chung Ho

- CEO Male Lead
- Boss and employee relationship

Both are cute and light-hearted dramas with hot male leads. If you liked Oh My Boss then you will definitely like A Business Proposal as well.

Ma Hye Ri is a woman with an excellent memory and ability to focus, which allowed her to pass the bar exam with ease. Despite her talents, she is more interested in being fashionable and dislikes hard work so she is far from being an ideal prosecutor and has doubts about her suitability for her job. Through her conflicts with senior colleages and struggles with difficult cases, however, Hye Ri gradually matures into a brilliant prosecutor with a sense of duty and justice.

-rich male lead
- CEO male lead
-not so rich made lead
- romcom
- adapted from a novel
- <3 my fav actors in both
- similar aesthetics

Both dramas are essentially 2020s reimaginings of "old" romcom tropes from 2010s and both dramas execute use of these tropes well.

In both stories male CEO decides to enter a contract relationship with troublemaking female lead just to please his beloved grandfather (and essentially inherit the grandfathers company). The grandfather is in both dramas a goofy guy who knows more than he shows.

Both female leads are hardworking independent girls skilled in their own thing but sometimes helpless in male leads rich world of ritchy ritches.

Both drama have elements of slapstick comedy and animated way of expressing comedy.

The difference is in framing of the story - in TSOPMC, the female lead (joseon lady) time-travels from Joseon era into current time thus not being aware of modern customs; in ABP, the female lead is employee in ml's company and disguises as someone else to contract date the male lead.
