Both have chaebol in background.........................
But one is korean and other is HK

both are about starting a business from scratch and making it big . both leads start their business against huge odds and they fight and remain hopeful in the bleakest of situations

- The theme of the youth striving for their dreams
- Strong female character(s)
- Nam Joo Hyuk plays male lead

If you like story line about lovers who growing and make a business together until they're success, Start up and FL have the same story about that, and also both of them focusing on programming computer, and not forget to mention Jipyeong and qin the have the same vibe Second lead as childhood friend and Rich man meanwhile Zhang Han and do San from poor family but have big passion to make the FEMALE LEAD Happy ?

In both shows the leads are socially awkward outcasts. They also idolize their popular love interest.

Both series focus on the lives of a group people very much passionate about engineering and maths. Start-up has programming as a central theme, here we have Maths and Calculus. Both have MLs who are geeks to begin with. The OSTs give a similar vibe as well!

Both have a very strong 2ML who makes the show, and their backstories are shown more than that of the MLs’.

Both stories of business success and of starting from scratch.

Both have an FL confused and ambiguous, and the 2ML being much more caring/protective than the ML.

Watch both for the second leads!

I thought of Start-Up while watching L&P. Both have good storylines and acting. MLs are both in IT. FL are both nice and sassy although the FL in LP chased the ML a lot more than Start Up. The OST is good in both and added to the show. There is a lot more humour in Start UP in the beginning. The chemistry is similar in that it is slow burn and really good. There is a also a start up in both shows and a time jump.
the SML in Start up is much much more interesting character than Start Up.
Lastly the ML in Start Up is way way nicer than the ML in LP.

~ Golden retriever male lead who is kind, devoted, emotionally intelligent, and the biggest cheerleader of the female lead.
