Yes I agree being a genius does not prevent people from making mistakes but I found he accumulated too many of them in his way to communicate with FL, hiding things to her, hijacking the birthday party prepared for her, riding with his so called "girl friend"... Hope he does better in the following eps.

I can accept that they decided to have a fair competition. Not to try to win her like a trophy but to let the other guy do his moves without obstructing and to let the girl show who she likes.
I did not mind them competing like kids at the gym but what really bothered me is when the ML hijacked the party prepared by the SML. SML threw a party for her and did not invite the ML Fair enough. Why it made the ML insecured to the point he had to hack the video system of the city and spoil the party. It was so inconsistent with the confidence he showed previously.
The SML surely spent tens of thousdands of Yuan for the party. I thought it was a poor way to suggest that sincerity wins over money. I will keep watching a few more eps if it gets better and if not...
first 6 episodes were super good, but now I'm watching ep.10 and gonna dropML from cool hot guy turned to ordinary…
For me ML is not very credible between his statut of genius and the difficulties he is in. He does questionable things without properly communicating so he has to apologize too often. Also I do not like how he is doing in his rivalry with the other guy. I will give it one last chance this week.
What a pity. Up to ep 7 and I still can't find the FL cute, lovable, at all. So this is it for me
I like her because she is not cute and lovable ;)
For me she is refreshing because she is different from the usual cute girls in Chinese school dramas. She is like the "average" girl next door who would look pretty if she put some efforts in her clothes and make up.
It was clear from the first and second episodes that Ji Pyeong was not the one for Dal Mi and that he and Grandma were instruments to bring Dal Mi and Do San together. So yes it was their fault for expecting apples.
All these people got SLS because they fell for the poor orphan boy drenched in the rain that Grandma decided to help and they loved his dimples and smile. But these people looked at the surface only and failed to see his true nature underneath which guided his wrong actions. He was a hot headed, rude, greedy and selfish person. He became worse as an adult because he became rich and renown. He was haughty and nagging and scheming when he was so poor deep inside. Story wise he was an awful person for 15 episodes.
The whole story about him is his evolution from an unapproachable selfish person to a person with empathy for people and providing for them and loved by them like when his fellow coworkers showed warmth to him. It happened only in the last ep. The only potential wasted here was his person who was stuck in his one sided love too long and evolved too late.
Btw, I am French. I have read and studied Cyrano de Bergerac in its original alexandrine version at school and I am glad to confirm to you that Cyrano and this drama have nothing in common except for the use of letters.
And since you like so much to give advices to people, you won't mind one for you: You should not talk to people like they are needing education or knowledge. People who do that just look childish and unsure of their own arguments.
There was these people watching a movie. In the beginning they see a man eating fruits. They said "hey these apples look tasty!" But at the end of the movie the man says "these pears were delicious". So these people erupted in anger. Said what happened to the apples?. They writer cheated us! It is a scam. It makes no sense. There is a hole in the plot! The ending is so bad! and unfair and blablabla...
You see, me, I don't have any problem with this drama or its ending. Because I always knew it was about pears. No apples. And so yes, I really enjoyed this drama not like the people who thought the letters were love letters and HJP was Dal Mi's first Love and they should have reunited... and they are here day in day out posting tens of comments to vent their frustration.
You like to observe human interactions? I do as well. This is why I can say that Ji Pyeong was the best character but the worst person in this drama.
Are you sure the overall rating here is or should be the result is the doing of NJH fans? or KSH fans? or Suzy fans? or Peanut fans?
Recently the overall ratings were weird. IOTNBO or FOE fell under 9 to reach 8.9 or 8.8. A drama like 18 Again went from 8.7 to 8.3. Very unfair ratings. Now they are back to a proper one for me. IOTNBO and FOE are back to 9.1 . If these two drama do not deserve to be above 9 then what drama deserves it?
I don't know what's happening to the ratings but for me ratings are back to normal and fair and 8.1 for Start up is a fair rating.
People who loves you will tell you the truth risking their relationship with you, people who want you to love…
People can lie by action by telling their name is Do San and they are 12 when their name is Ji Pyeong and they are 18. They can also lie by omission by hiding that they are an orphan, not in middle school, they live in grandma 's shop or that someone made them write or by hiding what they did to let someone in a wrong representation of her reality and past.
Based on this, Han Ji Pyeong has been lying to Dal Mi for 18 years.
When Ji Pyeong told her : " I wrote these letters" he basically told her : "I have been lying to you for 15 years". No wonder why she just left without a word.
Also she chose Do San because she fell in love with his handsomeness and learnt to know him and love him as a person. Because it was him. The letters just brought them in the presence of each other.
I understand your point of view. Truth is Dal Mi is a blunt person regarding love matters and skinships. She knows a great deal about how to kiss. She is the one who put her hand in Do San's hand first making them official. She was not afraid to hug him or jump into his arms at their workplace. She kissed him first and it was a steamy first kiss... In Korean culture as a girl you are supposed to be more reserved on that matter.
But Dal Mi is one who takes the lead and I agree that if she decided to dump Do San and date and kiss Ji Pyeong and behave the same way with him it would have made her look like a " very open" girl and probably " a slut" for some viewers. It would have been clearly prejudiciable to her image because an heroine can be blunt but she shall not be easy and fickle.
I believe it depends on the context. Suzy was kissed by the two leads in Dream High too. But the first time she was kissed when she was emotionally weak and the second time it was her who kissed. Nothing shocking in the end anyway because she was always naturally reserved. Not in this drama. Here her character is very different.
Anyway it could have never happened. It was written from the beginning that Do San is her soul mate and Ji Pyeong would be a third wheel. I never thought one second that Dal Mi would be interested in him. She never showed anything for him. Only the people who took the fake letters for what they are not thought it could happen. It was Do San and Dal Mi all the way.
Not all... Han Ji Pyeong improvement as a person arrives way too late in the drama for him to deserve more than…
I am not sure. Why he ended CTO and a shareholder of CheongMyeong and lived and worked happily with his friends from SST and with his CEO wife and her reunited family? Maybe because it is him?
I think we can all agree that Han Ji Pyung deserved better and Kim Seon Ho is an amazing actor ❤️ I'm watching…
Not all... Han Ji Pyeong improvement as a person arrives way too late in the drama for him to deserve more than what he received. In ep16 Grandma sent him on a mission and he is just at the beginning of his own journey.
Agree Kim Seon Ho did an amazing job portraying the character.
