I don't like how they are making JW so clingy and desperate for this girl he only knew for a week. I also don't like how EO is so fickle and how she deliberately tried to hurt him by pretending she was seeing other guys just because she wanted to hide her true feelings.

After ep. 3, I'm not liking how the two main characters are shaping up to be. I wish they ended their "past relationship" with the ONS misunderstanding and fast forwarded to the present where they meet again, but it looks like we're still going to be looking at flashbacks of their relationship and their inevitable breakup for the next couple of episodes... I'm guessing EO disappears without saying anything or her identity gets revealed and she leaves.

They'll probably just make him look normal cuz having a long neck/big head would look weird af LOL

I loved him in Healer and I have been waiting for sooooo many years to see him in another good drama! So far he's great in Lovestruck and I am looking forward to seeing him in Annarasumanara :)

There were definitely hints of romance in the webtoon, which concerns me because the girl is a high schooler. Even a classmate of the FL misunderstands their relationship (she thought the FL was sleeping with the ML). I hope they don't touch on this in the drama... don't want JCW to receive backlash like BSR.

They only have 7 episodes out on that site when the full webtoon is like 27 episodes long

I loved the slow progression of their mentor-mentee relationship developing into a close friendship. It would've been a beautiful strangers-to-friends-to-lovers story with an added bonus of a childhood connection trope.

Episode 2 was STEAMYYY and I'm loving it ;)

I find the mockumentary format refreshing and not confusing at all! The pacing was perfect. Each 30 minute episode was packed with a lot of details so it felt like a normal 1-hour long episode but it wasn't slow at all. The characters are all interesting, too. I can't wait for our main couple to reunite.

Lee Jin Wook's scarred up face looks sooo good even though he was covered in dirt/blood the entire time hahah

Ohhh right! I can't believe I forgot about that window scene. Jae heon was the best character ;_; I thought the key would reveal some huge secret or something amazing but it was just badges for the freaking kids loll

I still don't get why Jae Heon had to sacrifice himself like that. The security guard wasn't even a monster with crazy supernatural abilities. It was just holding a freaking lawn mower! How did the security guard even get inside? How are any of the monsters even going in/out of the apartment if the front door is blocked off? What happened to that monster with the long tongue? Also, I don't remember the protein monster ever leaving and suddenly it was outside. I was expecting it to have hulk-like abilities but it couldn't even overthrow the firetruck.

The scene with Gil Seop talking to Yu Ri while he was digging confused me too. Was he hallucinating? Eun Hyuk is considered to be one of the 4 main characters yet the drama never explored his character/past; all we know is that he's a genius.

I can't believe they killed off most of the good characters... the only ones who survived are so useless. Eun Yoo was annoying the whole time, she couldn't even let Ji Su grieve -_-

I'm so mad..... was there no other way?! someone could've helped :"(

Actually people who worked on Avengers and Stranger Things helped with the CGI... so I was kind of disappointed because the CGI looked cartoonish and unrealistic at times.

Are the monsters supposed to be scary...? Some of the characters are more disturbing than the actual monsters lol

I'm falling for Suho too even though I love Seojun. It's veeeeery obvious she's going to end up with Suho, I just hope they won't make Seojun and Jukyung date...

True Beauty shipping wars were quite intense for the webtoon haha. The drama is better in some aspects though and the ML isn't toxic so that's good XD

No need to be so aggressive, I was just stating my own opinion from my own observations. And I don't think Suho is cold. He was cold in the webtoon but not so much in the drama. He smiles/grins several times in the drama so obviously his character is capable of emoting like normal people.

Suho (ML) = sad boi, only knew FL for like 1 year and disappeared for 3, no personality, never worked for what he has (he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth)
Jukyung (FL) = was likable & relatable in the beginning but then started to have 0 likable qualities as the story progressed
Seojun (SML) = best boi, was there for the FL since the beginning, great personality, hardworking, loves his mom

Zero character development for the ML & FL and the SML gets the short end of the stick :'(

Seojun's character regressed around Episode 100 because the ML came back after 3 years and the author was pushing for the ML and FL to get together. I stopped reading around there because it got too predictable.

After watching the drama True Beauty, I realized how similar love triangle in the webtoon is to the love triangle in Start Up.

I've actually been paying close attention to Eunwoo's eyes and I do not see any emotion in them when there should be... Like in that rain scene where Jukyung was crying and Suho was supposed to show concern/sympathy, I did not feel anything from him at all and his eyes didn't show it.

After HJP (KSH), I started to pay attention to actors' micro expressions... and Cha Eun Woo has none. He has the same expression the nearly the entire drama lol. I find him very beautiful but his acting is pretty bad :( Hwang In Yeop is really good though.

This drama is intentionally cliche and cringey. I'm only watching it because I read the webtoon though (and for Cha Eun Woo's face haha).
