"Do you like my neck massage? 30k won for session"

No, I know that, I mean if he loves her so much and they had a verbal agreement before, it's not illegal for him to give the money 2STO paid him for SST to Dalmi, even if it's not in the contract/official share distribution

(I'm not an expert and don't know how shares work when a company is bought etc, so maybe I'm talking nonsense lol)

Now that I think about it, did Dosan give Dalmi 71% (or what it was) of the 3 billion won or not? Since he said that his shares are her shares and 2STO bought SST for 3B won.

Sadly, it's too late for him to fail now :( It's ep 15 and he will definetly succeed, no matter how unrealistic it is.
If a lead were to fail, in kdramas usually it's done in the beginning (maybe in nds's case it's the fact that he was unsuccessful for 2/3 years before winning coda and entering sandbox) or in the middle, so that in the last part the lead can succeed after the previous hardships

Welp, *finger on the skip/forward button*

If she says any of that then she's stupid bc they don't make sense. They are so debunkable

- he left her side in the end (because of his own mistake), and when he was on her side in 2016 it wasn't because he agreed with her but because he wanted to please her
- he doesn't understand her at all, his mom helps him with messages and with other advices, he needs to stalk her to overhear what she thinks and what she wants, he needs to read her replies on reviews to know what to do (the beach date)
- actually what inspired her to follow her dreams and quit her job was the fact that NDS started a company and became successful and made it (scene in hjp apartement in ep 3), but that was fake since he wasn't a hotshot ceo at all. Therefore if you think about it, it was HJP success that inspired her lol

TWO big hands lmaooo
best answer

Yikes, that's so lame.
Actually I would answer like that irl since I'm not good with words, but this is a kdrama and it's a break or make it scene, the LAST chance to convince the audience (that 5% of the jidal supporters lmao the other 95 will not be convinced even if dalmi takes a bullet because of her great love for him), that dalmi is indeed in love with him not for shallow reasons. An "i like you because you're you" will not cut it

I can't think of anything btw

What kind of answer will make dosan cup her face in his hands (and for dalmi to allow it)??

As every dodal scene

Before the ep airs, what do you think dalmi will answer to "why do you like me?"
apart from his hands.

Do you think dodal will kiss again this ep? I think the setting is not romantic enough for them lmao so the still could be misleading? Hopefully

I remember suzy and njh in an interview said that "it's a romance coding drama" when describing the drama
+the original title was supposed to be "sandbox" and not start up, which would be more fitting since the start ups are not that relevant in the drama

It would be terrible if Dalmi first follows what jipyeong said and doesn't proceed with the smart City thing, but then at the last minute she changes her mind and decides to try sailing without a map like dosan said. And they'll probably succeed in their project.
In dramaland fantasy businesses always succeed (if done by the main leads at the end of the said drama) and make a lot of money just like that lmao

Well, at least I confirmed that I do have some braincells in me, and I gained some more thanks to all your analysis, comments and discussions!

If I think about the fact that I wasted an entire MONTH on this drama... *headache*

Exactly

And istg if dalmi goes with nds's idea and in the end they will somehow luckily succeed, and then hjp will have another stupid flashback to wjen he said that if they sail without a map they will die, and they will make him regret it and say that he was wrong..... No. Just no

Dalmi: I'm sorry Han sangmu-nim, but my heart belongs to dosan-i *teary eyes *, i sincerely hope you will find someone to love that will love you wholeheartedly *smile as seen in the pic

Me: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Btw, i hope KSH deep down understands the problematic things in nds and his actions (because of the writing of course that made him like that). Like I know he will say nice things about dosan, and he will compliment his costar without slandering his character publicly and whatever because all in all nds is(was) cute indeed (in the first few episodes), but I still hope he noticed what WE noticed about dosan, in the later part of the drama. Same thing about the dodal relationship
