Business Proposal Episode 5: Tae-moo torments Ha-ri to get her confession

Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop) and Shin Ha-ri's (Kim Se-jeong) story in Business Proposal takes an expected turn. However, the journey is depicted with flair and just enough dramatics to keep the audience entertained.

There is so much more to Ha-ri than her alter-ego, Shin Geum-hi. As a result, Tae-moo sees all shades of her in his attempt to force a confession out of her. In due time, he also comes to a shocking realization, increasing anticipation for the next episode.

Tae-moo learns the truth about Ha-ri's alter-ego at the end of the previous episode. In the latest episode, he decides to torment her and ensure that she realizes her mistake.

The one thing he wants her to do is confess the truth to him, and until the very end, he continues to be juvenile with her in Business Proposal Episode 5.

Shin Ha-ri struggles to keep her identity a secret in 'Business Proposal'

Tae-moo begins by cornering Ha-ri at her workplace. Now that he is aware of her identity, he decides to punish her by instructing her to work on her ravioli again.

She works for a food brand that develops new recipes to sell as canned food, and in this vein, she works on a white kimchi ravioli. Initially, in Business Proposal, her dish, which she prepares with the help of her seven-year-long crush, gets a great response.

However, Tae-moo realizes that the chef that Ha-ri worked with is the same one she had shed tears over during the concert, and this disturbs him. He is uncomfortable with the fact that Ha-ri continues to spend time with her friend and this, in addition to her lies, angers him further.

So he attacks her dish, telling her to ensure its cost can be brought down by 20%. He dismisses all of her attempts at recreating the dish and continues to pack in more problems for her.

He also reaches out to Ha-ri as Geum-hi and tells her to attend an annual office party with him to meet his grandfather again. Considering Ha-ri works in the same company, this is impossible as she would have to be two different people at the same place.

Ha-ri struggles with all of this in Business Proposal and ends up getting drunk in frustration.
