By the relationship chart, apparently there will be no romance between the main character and the king, whereas in the chinese version the main character and the king fell in love with each other. They could be trying to be lowkey, but I don't know if anything should be expected from k-dramas in these matters. For now I'll wait, and stay away from the comments section to not see any kind of transphobia regarding whether or not the main character is still a man if he's in a "woman's body". One's reproductive system doesn't dictate one's gender, and trans men exist.

But if the main character keeps identifying as a man after being transmigrated, they're still a man, it doesn't matter how the body they're in looks like. If that's the case, it is M/M or BL, since it's a romance between two men. If they start to identify as a woman though, then it'd be F/M.

Lack of common sense being stupidity is a really ableist thing to say. So, autistic people (like myself) are simply stupid for not understanding what society deems to be common sense, even the so-called math geniuses and above average programmers? I was having a bit of fun reading these arguments over fictional couples and characters, but now I make my leave. I must say, though, you Jidal shippers are the worst; saying harmful things like this, and not letting anyone comment anything positive about Dosan and Dodal without ganging up on them.

Huh, Dosan's purpose is being the love interest? Not making a successful "Start Up" (literally the drama's title) with Dalmi?

Right, ahaha. Love triangles are just annoying now. It takes all the focus away from the characters and plot, too. Just look at this comment section.

If Dosan's feelings aren't real because it started with a lie, so are Jipyeong's, no? And "he's just a guy who can't come clean for the one he 'loves'" & "the man who she believed was her first love fooled her" & "the man who 'loves' her waited for her to discover the truth for herself', is Jipyeong too, no? I'm just observing things from afar, but I couldn't help noticing your contradictions; you dislike Dosan for things that make up the one you love.

Haven't watched the latest episode but I wonder what PHR is doing. She introduced the second male lead and laid out his character completely in the first episode, and made him the first love so everyone that like this trope is baited and an orphan so people sympathize with him more despite his unlikable personality. Then she makes the two male leads continuously lie to the female lead so viewers keep wondering when she'll get to know the truth, and puts too much focus on the love triangle diving the viewers to an alarming degree. All the attention is being taken away from the plot, the female lead and the characters as individuals. Is Start Up's team not confident that the plot itself and the characters individually are enough to keep people invested in the drama? Because that must be a cheap way to get buzz and viewership since the PHR's writing that I love isn't like this. I had hopes for this drama but it just keeps failing to meet my expectations and it's honestly stressing me out, so I'll probably drop it or watch it when it's done airing. Sad because I fell in love with the cast.

I hope no one gets offended, that's just an opinion. It's totally okay if you love this show :]

Although I find him deeply annoying, I don't see any problem with Director Do's return. It's only realistic that what happened in the end of season 1 wouldn't be enough to "defeat" him once and for all.

in all honesty, who would go to doldam hospital if they weren't an outcast or didn't have problems in the main hospital? you can say they're lacking creativity, but I don't think they should change the tone of the series when it's a sequel, to a very popular drama at that.
