I thought I'll finally give un unbiased review of Start up after the finale.1. Nerds don't look like that. People…
I had less issues with a nerd looking hot. My issue was, someone who was nerdy all his life, and was socially awkward all his life, is suddenly transformed into a Casanova over night, and suddenly he has all this confidence. It's like seeing someone who is inherently introverted, suddenly become an extreme extrovert, literally overnight, hard to fathom. Personality shifts, although possible, don't shift so suddenly, regardless of the catalyst.
Initially, I thought SDM would be good for HJP actually, but after episode 8 or 9, I felt that SDM's character became so ridiculously weak, that I felt she would just drag HJP down with her. HJP can do much better in the soul mate category.
This is SO beautiful. Not only does it branch off from the writer's story at quite the last minute (thus, minimal…
SDM uses her dad's memory as an excuse to compete with her sister. Something her dad would never be happy with. In fact, the memory of the father is invoked to make WIJ sentimental enough to hire a unqualified SDM to her company.
Start Up does a poor job of showing healthy and great family relationships, as the people in the show, namely SDM and NDS, are too selfish in their own goals to care about their families.
I don't know if I would like calling her appearance of the documentary as acting. She wasn't trying to play a…
Sure, beauty is subjective.
I'm not sure IU is that great acting wise, but she's certainly better than Suzy and Yoona.
All three of these idol actresses have lots of stage presence. Only time will tell if Jisoo will have this same stage presence, which is quite important to have in Kdrama.
It's call documentary - no acting required. If you are acting in your own documentary it means you are fake.
I find most documentaries have a specific side/bias they are pushing. Rarely do documentaries, unbiasedly document. It hasn't been like that for a while.
Even amateur videography is starting to lose it's realism with the progress of technology, and the presence of AI technology.

Like Jisoo is pretty, but she doesn't have the iconic beauty of IU, Yoona or Suzy. So if her acting is not up to snuff, I don't know if she'll have Kdramas lined up for years if she can't show proper acting in Snowdrop, as a big part of IU, Suzy and Yoona's popularity in Kdrama is because of their beauty.
Yes, Steve Jobs was an arrogant jerk, but he still accomplished great things in his lifetime. And sometimes people…
Korea, and Korean as a culture, is VERY materialistic. I'm not sure if the extent of Mainland Chinese, but a Korean friend of mine has told me some crazy stories about how bad the materialism is like in Korea.
Also, it's interesting how people attempt to emulate people like Steve Jobs, including the bad attitude. But the reality people are ignoring is that people only accepted Steve Job's jerkiness because of his brilliance. Take away his brilliance, and nobody would tolerate that kind of toxic behavior.
The thing is, in Start Up, the writer expects us to tolerate NDS bad behavior, when he hasn't even accomplished anything at all.
HJP on the other hand, may rub some people the wrong way, but he literally started from penniless to where he is, so he deserves some bragging rights.

I actually don't hate her, but you do you. And Jisoo is not above criticism, unless your her manager, then I understand Sir :)))

Same goes for KGE whose portrayal in Goblin, left a bitter taste in my mouth. Quite creepy...
Someone dropped the ball for sure.
