After watching them as these characters, enjoy seeing them in these series!

Ahn Hyo-Seop in Lovers Of The Red Sky

Ahn Hyo-Seop joins the league of our favourite K-drama oppas by starring back-to-back in romance dramas. Prior to Business Proposal, he played Ha Ram in the historical drama Lovers Of The Red Sky opposite Love In The Moonlight’s Kim Yoo-Jung. The story is set during the Joseon period and revolves around fine arts, as well as mystic arts. He also played Seo Woo-Jin in Dr. Romantic 2 as the leading man of Weightlifting Fairy's Lee Sung-Kyung — which, BTW, is already filming its third season!

Why you should watch it: If you love historical K-dramas with a touch of romance and the supernatural, you’ll definitely enjoy this TV show. Ahn Hyo-Seop’s character in this drama is a 180-degree turn from his Business Proposal portrayal, proving that the actor can effectively act stern and cold or sweet and vulnerable depending on what the script calls for.

Kim Se-Jeong recently appeared in 2019's I Wanna Hear Your Song and 2021’s The Uncanny Encounter. But where she truly shone was in her first lead role in School 2017. She won Best New Actress at the 2017 KBS Drama Awards and Best Popular Actress in the 1st Seoul Awards for her portrayal of Ra Eun-Ho, a girl fighting along with her schoolmates against the corrupt school system. School 2017 is part of the School anthology series which first started in 1999 and had its most recent iteration in 2021.

Why you should watch it: School 2017 is a good coming-of-age story that focuses on both the blissful moments and the challenging times students face before they enter young adulthood. It also gives adults in the story their own relatable arcs. Kim Se-Jeong’s characters in Business Proposal and School 2017 are both charming and bubbly. However, she does well in shaping the unique personality of every character she portrays.

Stream the series on Netflix.

Kim Min-Kyu in Snowdrop and Nevertheless,

Why you should watch these: Snowdrop and Nevertheless, are both compelling dramas despite their controversial storylines. Plus, they’re still buzzworthy even months after airing. Kim Min-Kyu may not be onscreen a lot in both titles, but spotting his appearances after being charmed in Business Proposal will definitely add more fun to your viewing experience.

Check out Snowdrop on Disney+ and Nevertheless, on Netflix.

Seol In-A in Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life

Why you should watch it: This drama is about four people finding their way back to love and happiness. The storytelling is straightforward and heartwarming, allowing the audience to truly immerse themselves in the story and relate to the narrative. Seol In-A’s characters in both Business Proposal and this drama share the similarity of being a ‘rich girl’, but In-A’s portrayal of the depths and complexities of their personalities give each character their own flair.

Lee Deok-Hwa in The Red Sleeve

Veteran actor Lee Deok-Hwa joins the Business Proposal cast as Kae Tae-Moo’s lovable grandfather Kang Da-Koo. He’s known for his other roles in well-known dramas like Suspicious Partner (starring Ji Chang-Wook), Hyde Jekyll Me (starring Hyun Bin), and many others, but it's his recent role on the historical drama The Red Sleeve we’re highlighting.

Lee Deok-Hwa plays the cruel King Youngjo, young prince Yi San’s (Lee Jun Ho) grandfather. King Younjo is responsible for the death of Yi San’s father and is the cause of Yi San’s emotional trauma, which is one of the biggest plot points of the drama.

Why you should watch it: ICYMI, The Red Sleeve ended with magnificent ratings because of its compelling plot, amazing cast performance, and good balance between romance and politics (as needed in any good historical K-drama). We wouldn’t spoil any more details but be warned: if you love Lee Deok-Hwa as a grandpa in Business Proposal, prepare to hate him in this drama. That’s how good of an actor he is!
