Sorry @who cares, I had to reply to this comment instead of the recent one from paper doll because she blocked me. You want to deal out criticism but can't take it huh? Sounds about right. Here's the response.
They are the same age and are athletic...Jisoo had a teenage problem that was easy to hide. It's a completely different situation when you are dating someone. Their personality is upfront and clear. And to make matters worse, he had unprotected sex with her too. This is not a fair comparison.
Mydramalist ratings don't matter at all, especially with most of you trolls. So ur point about 7.5 is bs. Don't skew the system and then boast about its validity. He's a great actor no question. But he's just a fad on tv.

Yea don't judge him for dating a manipulative girl. It's not like he could choose who he dates.

@Who cares , ma'am u gave Start-Up a 2/10, which means you're an extremely salty and immature person. No drama ever deserves a 2, and you've overlooked any work the drama cameramen, support staff, and writers have done. All this because your inferior KSH didn't get the girl. Have some decency.

oops, sorry I forgot to respond. I actually have a life so I'm busy sometimes. We can nitpick years but NJH has 2 upcoming dramas. Both of them have 12 dramas, but guess what. NJH is 27 and KSH is 35...Tell ur ahjussi he needs to get faster.
There, guess I'm not speechless after all.
You know, I got a theory. Kim Seon Ho chose a manipulative toxic girl to be with. And you know what they say, similar people find each other. I'm starting to think it's true about his fans too...😂

The only reason he took the light was because of the whole letter thing in the story. Not because Kim Seon Ho was super special in any way...people just conflated the whole thing. Put any other actor there and you guys would be going crazy for him too.

Why?
How many upcoming dramas/movies does Kim Seon Ho have now?
I'm waiting...
Yeah thought so.

You can't compare Lee Dong Wook to KSH. LDW is in a completely different league. And he really did become famous because he played to a certain type. The type where he's good looking enough for be on screen but also be anyone's girlfriend. His visuals were so below Nam Joo Hyuk that people started liking him more (cuz they knew they couldn't imagine themselves with NJH). There was a scene in start up where NJH walks in and everyone gets shocked at his visuals. Imagine KSH in that scene, everyone would laugh. He doesn't have "it".

@ponnu hmm so that’s two movies he lost and won’t get back. It takes two to be in a relationship. This retard got a manipulative woman pregnant…that’s comedy. I’m also not happy to see his downfall…rather just the stans who messed up Start-Up for future viewers because they had a questionable affinity for simps. This dude is screwed regardless of the report. There are plenty of actors better looking and more talented waiting in line. He’s also 35 and time is ticking…tik tok. But keep deluding yourself 😂 😂 😂.

@ponnu
I actually don't badmouth dramas because I know the hard work of all the staff that works on them. So, nice try baiting me with Hometown Cha, but it won't work. I wish that drama success.
I'm only talking about Start-Up. It seems you're really salty right now, so I'd recommend some water first. And then maybe some common sense cuz KSH will never reach the same level again. 👋

I didn’t expect much from the third iteration of the story. BOY WAS I WRONG! ML and FL were insanely good. And somehow, using the parallel story, the drama team brought out hidden creativity, and in my opinion, the best iteration you will see.
I honestly don’t cry during dramas. After the movie a moment to remember, this is the second time I cried. 🥺😭

Lol tbh there is one good thing that came out of this drama. I now know who the real ones are lol. If you're on team Nam Do-San, do send a friend request lol.

@Scaredy Cat , lmaooo it's not much, but it's honest work.

@Lily , I'm just pointing out your entitlement. You came here to share your opinion, so expect others to do the same.
A 1 is a ridiculous score. 3,4,5,6? That's fine if you hated the show. But 1? That just meant you were pissed off Kim Seon Ho didn't get the girl at the end.
There are so many hard-working cameramen, technicians, and staff. But you chose to overlook all those things and give the drama a 1.
I'm sorry but that's so petty.

According to your list, you gave Start-Up a 1.0 rating...
Who's the childish one?
You should be ashamed of yourself for being an irrational stan.
We're all gonna enjoy not seeing KSH for a while...so keep being "disgusted".

RIP to all Han Ji-Pyung fans. Y'all really played yourselves, didn't you?
This is at least a 9.0 drama. Kim Seon Ho stans lowered the ratings to 8.1...
Now they suffer the consequences of their delusion.

The most ironic part is the dude chose to do romance movies cuz everyone liked his romantic angle that was shown in start-up. And now directors are dropping him from movies cuz his scandal goes directly against the romantic angle. This is karma 💀.

EDIT: Even if the scandal goes a different way, it takes two people to be in a relationship. This guy CHOSE a manipulative girl. He CHOSE to be associated with her. And his reputation will rightfully suffer as a result.

Excellent drama.
Namgoong Min is amazing as always - he is, imo, the best Korean actor.
I might be biased, but this shouldn't be binged. I think it loses a lot of value this way. I binged 10 episodes, and it seemed, well, mediocre in terms of its storyline (even DP handled suspense better). In hindsight, waiting every week for episodes is probably what the makers wanted and intended.

Lee Se Hee is soooooo pretty. I was hoping she was my age (hehe), and I look and she's 29?????? She looks 10 years younger.
Honestly, I can't believe she's more famous. This might be her breakout role though.
WOW, gonna watch this just for her.

Damn...I was trying so hard to hate Kim Jung Hwan in the beginning but he won me over. Such a great mature character played by a talented actor.

Most of you sissies overuse the word toxic. Idk what the reason for this is - terrible self esteem, princess complex, bad male role models, or just being bird brained - accept that some people aren't born perfect like you. ML needed FL to teach him how to be a person. That’s not “toxic”, that’s called growth. His mother was barely around.
Now, I also know some of y’all have this thing where if the guy is too hot (and basically y’all have no chance) you hate on him. This is probably why you like the SML (who mind you is a good person but isn’t the one for FL).
I sense the same saltiness y’all showed for Han Ji Pyung in start-up. Again, considerably less hotter than Nam Do San, so maybe y’all dreamed you had a chance?
Grow up.

Yea, I'm surprised it's not better. So many new dramas build up the love triangle and tension, but imo, it gets resolved too easily. I think it's a case of trying to do too much (comedy, side characters, etc). The older dramas know that the real gold is in the romantic tension.
