SBS Korean drama Business Propsal has gain so much popularity after releasing on Netflix in multiple languages. The series, which premiered in 2022, combines elements of romance, comedy, and love-hate relationships. Since then fans asking for more they its season 2. Here is everything we know about the possibility of Business Proposal Season 2.
The Current Status
So here is the current situation not to break your heart but there is no season 2. Business Proposal is a limited series based on webtoon which completed the story in season 1 so there no plan for continuation.
Why Season 2 is Unlikely
There are several reasons why getting a Season 2 might not happen:
The Story Was Complete: The first season wrapped up all the major storylines. Ha-ri and Tae-moo ended up together, their friends Seong-hoon and Young-seo got their happy ending too, and there weren’t any big cliffhangers left. The show gave viewers the closure they wanted.
How K-Dramas Work: Unlike American shows that plan for multiple seasons, most Korean dramas are made as standalone stories. They tell one complete story in 12-16 episodes and that’s it. Business Proposal followed this traditional format.
Netflix Doesn’t Control It: Business Proposal isn’t a Netflix original production. It was made by SBS in South Korea and Netflix just licensed it for international streaming. That means Netflix can’t just decide to make Season 2 on their own, even if they wanted to. The decision would have to come from SBS.
No Source Material Left: The show was based on a webtoon (web comic) and the first season already covered the entire story from that source. There’s no more original material to adapt unless the webtoon creator writes a sequel.
What About Those Season 2 Trailers?
If you’ve seen videos on social media claiming to show “Business Proposal Season 2 Official Trailer,” be careful. Many of these are fan-made edits or fake videos designed to get clicks. There has been no official trailer released because no second season has been confirmed.
The Success of Season 1
Business Proposal premiered in February 2022 and quickly became a hit. The show tells the story of Shin Ha-ri, who goes on a blind date pretending to be her friend, only to discover the guy is actually her company’s CEO, Kang Tae-moo. He proposes a fake relationship contract, and of course, real feelings develop.
The show was incredibly popular for several reasons:
Great Chemistry: The lead actors Kim Se-jeong and Ahn Hyo-seop had amazing on-screen chemistry that made viewers fall in love with their characters.
Perfect Balance: It mixed romance, comedy, and workplace drama in just the right amounts. The show never took itself too seriously but also gave emotional depth when needed.
Relatable Characters: The supporting characters like Cha Seong-hoon and Jin Young-seo weren’t just background noise. They had their own interesting love story that fans enjoyed almost as much as the main couple.
High Ratings: The show scored 8.1/10 on IMDb and consistently ranked high on Netflix’s global charts during its run.
Both Couples Won Best Couple Awards
One of the biggest highlights after the show ended was the 2022 SBS Drama Awards. Both couples from Business Proposal took home the Best Couple Award, which is pretty rare and shows just how much viewers loved all four characters.
The Main Couple: Kim Se-jeong and Ahn Hyo-seop won the Best Couple Award for their roles as Shin Ha-ri and Kang Tae-moo. Their chemistry throughout the show was undeniable, and fans were thrilled to see them recognized at the awards ceremony.
The Second Couple: Kim Min-kyu and Seol In-ah also won the Best Couple Award for playing Cha Seong-hoon and Jin Young-seo. Their storyline was just as entertaining as the main couple, with plenty of funny and sweet moments that made fans root for them.
What made this even more special was seeing all four actors reunite at the awards show. They were genuinely happy for each other and cheered enthusiastically when their co-stars won. The supportive energy between them showed that the fun chemistry from the show carried over into real life.
Interestingly, before Business Proposal even aired, Kim Se-jeong had joked about winning the Best Couple Award with Ahn Hyo-seop. When they presented awards together at the 2021 SBS Drama Awards, she said they would be back at that stage as winners the next year. She was right.
What the Cast Has Said
Neither Kim Se-jeong nor Ahn Hyo-seop has publicly discussed plans for Season 2. Both actors have moved on to other projects since the show ended. Kim Se-jeong has worked on other dramas and her music career, while Ahn Hyo-seop has starred in other shows.
The rest of the main cast including Kim Min-kyu as Cha Seong-hoon and Seol In-ah as Jin Young-seo also haven’t mentioned anything about returning for a potential second season.
The Remake Route Instead
Instead of a Season 2, Business Proposal is getting remakes in other countries. An Indonesian remake was released as a film on February 6, 2025, and a Chinese remake is also in the works. There was also a Hong Kong version that premiered in 2023.
This shows that the story is still popular and being adapted in different markets, but it also suggests that the focus is on remaking the original story rather than continuing it.
Could Fans Change Things?
Sometimes fan demand can bring shows back. We’ve seen it happen with other series where enough noise from viewers led to renewals. Business Proposal definitely has a passionate fanbase who continue to rewatch the show and talk about it on social media.
However, the reality is that K-dramas rarely get second seasons unless they were planned from the beginning. Shows like Squid Game are exceptions because they were designed as multi-season stories from the start.
What to Watch Instead
If you’re missing Business Proposal and want similar vibes, here are some K-dramas you might enjoy:
What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim: Another office romance with great chemistry between the leads and plenty of comedy.
Strong Woman Do Bong-soon: Mixes romance with humor and has a strong female lead.
Touch Your Heart: A lighter romantic comedy with workplace elements.
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha: Sweet romance with heartwarming characters (also labeled as a limited series on Netflix).
The Bottom Line
As much as fans would love to see Ha-ri and Tae-moo’s story continue, Business Proposal Season 2 is very unlikely to happen. The show has been officially designated as a Limited Series by Netflix, which strongly indicates no continuation is planned.
The good news is that Season 1 gave us a complete and satisfying story. Sometimes it’s better to have one perfect season than to drag a story out unnecessarily. Ha-ri and Tae-moo got their happy ending, and we can rewatch their journey anytime we want.
What to Keep in Mind
Be skeptical of any “official announcements” you see on social media about Season 2. If there’s real news, it will come from Netflix or SBS directly.
The actors have moved on to new projects, which makes scheduling a reunion cast difficult even if there was interest.
Most importantly, the original story is complete. A second season would need entirely new conflicts and storylines, which could risk damaging what made the first season so special.
Final Thoughts
Business Proposal Season 2 isn’t happening based on all available information as of October 2025. While this might disappoint fans, the first season stands as a complete and entertaining story on its own. The show gave us 12 episodes of romance, comedy, and heart that we can enjoy forever.
Instead of waiting for a Season 2 that probably won’t come, fans can celebrate what made Business Proposal special and explore other K-dramas that capture similar magic. And who knows? Maybe years from now, if the stars align, we could get a reunion special. But for now, the story of Ha-ri and Tae-moo has reached its happy conclusion.
