A Korean romcom is a cheerful, comic movie or television show where the development of a romantic relationship is the main plot point.
Romantic comedies are a fun movie genre since they are so easy to watch and adaptable to a variety of psychographics.
Here is one of my favorite Korean romantic comedies.
A Business Proposal (2022)

She works as a marketing team leader for Marine Beauty's parent firm, Marine Group, and is best friends with Ha-ri. She is the only child of the chairman. Since she wants to wait for her true love, she begs Ha-ri to go on a blind date with Tae-moo in her place.
Story Line
After agreeing to take the place of her friend Jin Young-seo (Seol In-ah), whose father had set up the meeting, Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong) goes on a blind date. It is intended for Ha-ri to 'be rejected' by her potential lover.
It turns out that her date is Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop), the CEO of Go Food, the organization where Ha-ri works, and things go awry.
Tae-moo, who is under pressure from his grandfather Kang Da-goo (Lee Deok-hwa), the chairman of Go Food's parent company, to go on blind dates with suitable marriage partners, chooses to wed his blind date partner in order to avoid going on the other dates. He does this without being aware that she is the fake Jin Young-seo or that she is his employee, which she assiduously tries to hide.
The actual Jin Young-seo, who was also Tae-driver moo's at the time, collides with Cha Sung-hoon (Kim Min-kyu), Tae-secretary, moo's in a parking lot, exposing Ha-ri's false identity but, mercifully, not her work position.
Review
The problem with me when I watch Korean dramas is that I care more about celebrities, It is very important to me that I like the actors and actresses who will play the roles, or else I won't have fun watching them.
Business proposal has 2 of my favorite Korean celebrities, Kim Se-jeong and Seol In-ah. They are both pretty and funny. I give 4.5 stars to this movie because it made me feel good. (that is the main reason why I watch Romcom. To feel entertained) The funniest part for me is when Kim Se-jeong meets Ahn Hyo-seop's grandfather. If you are like me who is a hopeless romantic. this movie is for you
