She tells Tae-moo to pretend that it never happened. Before Tae-moo could say anything more, Min-woo calls Ha-ri to complete the shoot. Tae-moo can’t stop why she kissed him first and called it a mistake. At night, both can’t stop thinking about what happened.
The next day at work, Ha-ri’s co-workers tell her how the bloopers from her shoot with Min-woo have gone viral and people are enjoying it. Ha-ri gets a call from Tae-moo but she ignores it. Tae-moo makes a big donation for the treatment of rare cancers patient via his company. Director Jin also tries to flirt a bit with him and mentions Young-seo in the conversation.
Tae-moo meets Ha-ri in the car, and she again says they should pretend as if nothing happened. Tae-moo asks Ha-ri if yesterday was a mistake then does she only have lust feelings for him. Ha-ri tries to give reasons and denies everything. She decides to pay him back, and Tae-moo says she can do that by buying him dinner.
Tae-moo takes Ha-ri to an expensive restaurant as a payback for kissing him. She’s shocked to see how expensive everything is. Ha-ri says that even he kissed her back. Tae-moo says that it’s not her fault alone and proposes to her that he would like to take care of her forever. Ha-ri again rejects his proposal. Tae-moo tells her that usually he prefers people pay him back with exactly what he received from them – a kiss for a kiss. Ha-ri says she would rather pay for his food and skip the meal herself.
Min-woo is clicking pics with his food dishes for the ad campaign for Tae-moo’s company. When Yoo-ra tries to set his hair, he gets mad at her. When the photographer mentions Min-woo’s food video with Ha-ri, his mood becomes cheerful. Min-woo talks about Ha-ri fondly which upsets Yoo-ra.
At dinner, Ha-ri is sad that she can’t eat the delicious food for which she will pay the money. When Tae-moo tries a particular dish, Ha-ri can’t stop staring at his lips. She imagines kissing him. Ha-ri runs to the washroom and tells herself to stop thinking about all this. When she returns, Tae-moo is playing a sweet melody on the piano. She compliments him for his piano skills. To Ha-ri’s surprise, Tae-moo pays the food bill.
Ha-ri asks him why he didn’t let her pay the food bill. Tae-moo says that he doesn’t want her to pay him back for the kiss with food. He wants something bigger. They decide the next place where they can buy him a more expensive meal. In Business Proposal Episode 8, Young-seo surprises Sung-hoon with delicious food for their dinner date. Sadly, the food she makes isn’t that good. Young-seo tells Sung-hoon to give honest feedback, but his feedback upsets her.
Later in Business Proposal Episode 8, Young-seo tells Ha-ri that she’s dating Sung-hoon. Ha-ri can’t contain her excitement on hearing this news. Young-seo tells her that she cooked food for the first time in her life and her boyfriend called it salty. She also tells how Tae-moo had disturbed their movie night by calling Sung-hoon on call and talking for 30 minutes. She asks Ha-ri if she’s dating Tae-moo. Ha-ri says that’s not the case. They had dinner together last night.
Young-seo asks if it was a date, but Ha-ri denies it. Young-seo says that if they ate together, it was a date. Ha-ri says that she ate with him as she wanted to apologise. Young-seo thinks the apology was related to work and calls Tae-moo means. She says that if he likes her, he should be nice to her. Young-seo calls Tae-moo ‘pervert’.
The next morning, Sung-hoon takes Young-seo to walk with him on the mountain. She isn’t a fan of walking and exercising at all. Ha-ri and Tae-moo spend the day together at an amusement park. Young-seo is tired of climbing the mountain. They sit for a while. Young-seo tells Sung-hoon how Tae-moo has asked Ha-ri to pay him back for something. Sung-hoon says that Tae-moo isn’t someone who would ask someone to do this.
Sung-hoon then blames Young-seo that none of this would’ve happened if she hadn’t sent Shin Ha-ri on the blind date as fake Young-seo. Young-seo loses her cool and says he should be thankful that she didn’t go on a date; otherwise, he wouldn’t be her boyfriend today. Sung-hoon tells her to calm down, but she takes out her frustration with the food and Tae-moo. He tells her they should continue climbing the mountain. But Young-seo walks away.
At the fair, Ha-ri and Tae-moo eat corn dogs together. Ha-ri wonders why Tae-moo is eating such a regular corn dog. Tae-moo tells her that he would eat the dish with his parents when he was 7 years old. He often comes to eat it by himself. Ha-ri says how food and memories connected and mention her hamburger with Tae-moo during their business trip. When Tae-moo talks about his parents, Ha-ri gets a call from someone.
At the mountain, an angry Young-seo says to herself that if Sung-hoon likes Tae-moo so much, why isn’t he dating him instead. Young-seo twists her ankle, and Sung-hoon decides to carry her down on his back. The two sort out their issues, and Young-seo says they should head home and spend a steamy night together. Sung-hoon says they should go to the hospital first.

Ha-ri panics and tells Tae-moo to leave, and they’ll meet at work.
Min-woo shows Ha-ri the relationship contract papers he found in her room. Min-woo tells Ha-ri that she should’ve told him about it. Ha-ri asks him why should she tell him about it as it’s none of his business. Ha-ri tells Min-woo that he needs to apologise to Tae-moo. She tells her she can take care of herself, and Tae-moo doesn’t deserve what Min-woo did. He tells Ha-ri that things will never work out between her and Tae-moo.
Tae-moo catches Sung-hoon and Young-seo kissing in the office basement. Tae-moo asks him how it happened. Sung-hoon told him how he fell for her in the first meet itself.

Business Proposal Episode 8 Recap: Final Thoughts
The makers played well by keeping the best thing in the end yet filling the entire episode with heartwarming moments. Watching Tae-moo doing his best to make Ha-ri realise her feelings was amazing. I also enjoyed the cute arguments between Young-seo and Sung-hoon yet they’re so hot with their romance. After Tae-moo, it was good to see Ha-ri stand up against Min-woo. Oh, and the climax? One can keep watching it again and again!
Business Proposal Episode 8 is now streaming on Netflix.
We’re not supposed to say this out loud, but anyone dumb enough to have a pit bull as a “pet” is screaming to the world that they are not living in reality and make crappy, sometimes dangerous, decisions. Smarmy Smarma, assuming she’s not just a lying criminal herself, is so much a narcissist herself that she was willing to fall for any scenario where she got to be a “compassionate queen.” Real compassion includes humility, sometimes anonymity. (And, it doesn’t include madness like bringing an unpredictable animal into the workplace.)
