Only daily? I check every few hours hahahaha.

I love how eager you are to convert all Ji Pyung fans who've already lost hope haha.

No, it's not the only one. I just meant that it's the most notable one.

Only by international fans. It's different in Asia.

Weightlifting Fairy might have gotten low ratings but people talked about it a lot and it really boosted his popularity. Ratings and buzz are two different things after all. Just like Start-Up is creating the most buzz right now even though the ratings are nothing to write home about. As for critical acclaim, The Light in Your Eyes is probably his most notable drama and it also got very high ratings btw.

Not necessarily. The second lead can still get the girl haha.

Most of his dramas are actually very well received by netizens and critics alike. I assume you're under the impression that this is not the case because you probably heard about the backlash that Bride of Habaek received, but this was actually the only problematic drama after his big break. He even received awards.

Oh, The Swoon has finally uploaded something about Ji Pyung: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxVyzTpDnWw
This is the ultimate proof of his popularity since it's an official channel under Netflix haha.
Now I'm waiting for a Seon Ho - Suzy interview (or at least all three of them together), not just a compilation of scenes from the drama.

I agree with you on that. He was indeed the catalyst for Dal Mi to finally follow her dreams. Sometimes there are people who (unintentially) lead us into a certain direction in life and they might as well just be random strangers. So I don't see this as a reason why Dal Mi needs to fall in love and end up with Do San. It has nothing to do with Do San as a person.

I wouldn't read too much into that, they were just asking about Suzy's personal preferences. But we still have all those clues we gathered from the drama itself to keep our hopes up haha.

Thank you!

No, I haven't yet, but I was planning to watch it for quite some time already.

Hahaha, I want to see that. Do you have a link?

She's even nowhere to be seen in the filming wrap-up picture with the (actually three) main leads and all the staff.

I saw nothing wrong with this scene. He didn't hurt her in any way.

Oh, I missed that you already talked about this. Anyway, it's so darn wrong.

Lmfao they're using a pic of Dal Mi and Do San for OST Part 12 which is titled "Love Letter". Even if Dodal ends up being the endgame, this is just so wrong.

I've taken a closer look at the promotional posters for Start-Up since I found an observation that someone posted here very interesting. The observation was that the space between Kim Seon Ho and Suzy creates an imaginary heart in this poster: https://www.hancinema.net/korean_drama_Start_Up-picture_1233754.html?sort=Most_Popular_Pictures
This could just be a pure coincidence, but it's the same in this poster as well: https://www.hancinema.net/korean_drama_Start_Up-picture_1229907.html?sort=Most_Popular_Pictures

Given that promo posters usually aren't just random pics and provide some meaning, the question right now is, is this really just a coincidence in both posters or was the heart intended?

Edit: Or maybe I'm just imagining things right now haha.

Exactly. Take out Do San from the drama and the story would still work, albeit it would turn into a very different drama and become a simple lovey-dovey story between Dal Mi and Ji Pyung or something like that.
Take out Ji Pyung from the drama and everything would crumble. He is crucial to the story.

I had the same reaction when I discovered it yesterday hahahaha.
