Hjp and grandma made me ugly cry... Kim seon ho is so good at crying( and every other emotions)... I felt literally nothing for the other emotional scenes... Why are the writers marking hjp feel guilty for something he don't even mean? Till the end yongsan don't regret the way he treated HJP... He dont see the fact that when HJP first saw sst, they were just 3 guys who were good at programming but has zero knowledge about anything else... Obviously noone will invest in them... It's not like sst only went to hjp for investment... He was just one of the many investors that rejected sst... They just happen to meet him in person... Other investors would have said the same thing to these guys... They made it to the demo day because hjp took personal interest in dalmi and prepared her well... He gave an elaborate list of investors they can approach even though he didn't agree with their model... Yongsan is still behaving like sst won completely because of them and HJP did nothing...
I have such huge respect for injae and hjp in this episode... They deserve to be successful and it shows why they are successful... Like dosan gets angry on hjp for no reason, dalmi also try to fight with injae... Finally dalmi learned she cannot beat her more experience and smarter sister... Good for her...
I seriously thought dalmi will go back to college and learn everything on her own now that she has enough money but I don't get how she gets job in a company as strategic manager with a high school degree... I don't know how it works in South Korea but in my country a person cannot become a manager with a highschool degree... Considering how much importance s.korea gives to education I doubt companies there hire highschool graduate..
The overall episode was quite good... But from the precap I can predict what's gonna happen...Dalmi is working for her sister and she is doing a good job. HJP is now like a family member in dalmi's house hold. Now instant of pinning over the letters she will be pinning over dosan. Poor hjp will have his hopes up but tada.. here comes our male lead, now super successful and super confident...Dalmi needs the help of an expert and as an amazing twist dosan comes and helps her... They start spending time together...they rekindle their old romance and start dating again or may be even get engaged... In b/w we might see everyone's favourite hjp having his hopes up and then get it crushed by dalmi's new high heels...I can even predict the dialogues of the last encounter b/w hjp and dalmi...She will be like you are my first love, you helped me look at life in a positive way and I will always be thankful to you and I will always respect you but I love dosan and I chose him over you... Poor hjp will accept this and we audience will cry a bucket seeing our favourite character getting his heart broken...Also even though hjp helped to not destroy noongil I am almost sure that all the credits will be given to dosan...
Come on people just be realistic, why this so much hate for NDS? HJP is not an angel and there's no way now that…
The thing is HJP is not an angel and he don't pretend to be an angel either.. do San is called a living Buddha but will lie in a flash of light... HJP admits himself to be wrong if he is wrong whereas dosan never learns from his mistakes and cannot handle HJP telling the truth to his face...
Sst guys can be fooled by a bunch of developers from an unknown company... If they are not smart enough to understand…
Alex works for one of the biggest companies in the world and they are smart enought to keep an eye on dosan and co... They will kick them out after using them for their benefit
The writing of this drama has taken such a dark twisted turn . I honestly need therapy bc of the trauma it’s…
Hjp don't even think he has a chance and as a viewer I know it makes no sense for dalmi to magically have feelings for hjp... Basically hjp is no thread to anyone as he himself is not actively pursuing dalmi and accepts dosan-dalmi relationhsip...He is a threat only to dosan because he is jealous, insecure and lacks self esteem and self confidence... He is the only one who seems hjp as a competition when though hjp is not even participating... Everything is actually on dosan's head
the first episode was so good that i already expected it to go downhill BUT NOT LIKE THIS. this is a whole new…
I kind of knew that this one won't be a masterpiece and wasn't planning to watch it while it was ongoing but I wanted to know how good of a character hjp is to understand this much strong support he got as a second lead... After watching 10episodes I understood why... When I saw the first 4-5 episodes I liked dosan as well but then he went downhill after that and now he is ina deep pit without any come back for me...
I had been putting it off for soooooo long! I initially thought I'll wait till all the episodes have aired but…
Same here... I know most kdramas screwup in the second half and I was almost sure this one will but I still couldn't control myself after reading the comments here... I just wanted to know how good of a character hjp is for almost everyone to support him over the ML so fiercely...
He did deceive them in a way but I wouldn't want to call him the villain. At the end of the day, it's business.…
I guess atleast chungsan will regret not listening to HJP but i dont have any hope from the other 2... It was so out of character for dalmi to not even inform her mentor about such a big deal when she basically bombard him with questions at the middle of the night... They made her dumb just so she and dosan can break up so that the makers can keep the tradition of breaking the lead couple in the middle to patch them up in the last episode track...
They are gonna force fed us with the more romance... Dalmi is gonna wait for dosan to come back and he will be back as a confident and smart guy... She will still be in love with a guy with whom she had a very shallow relationship with but then this is the girl who claimed to be in love with a pen pal for 15long yes... 3 yrs is nothing for her..
I think the writer is trying to pull a Titanic here.James Cameron said that Jack had to die as his character's…
Atleast jack's death fulfilled the purpose... Here hjp is simply getting emotionally drained by guiding dalmi who has become a damsel in distress just so the male lead can be relevant... On one hand HJP only gives her the right amount of push she needs and gives her space to make her own choice and if she makes mistakes he point that out to her but still respects her decisions, on another HJP interfere in almost everything dalni does and shunt her growth as a good ceo...
The portrayal of their naiveness is realistic. You don't have to find faults in absolutely everything because…
That was in ep 3 and we are in ep 11.. they are still naive and even dumb and don't know the basic of business or accept their shortcome when HJP point it out... Just look at dosan's attitude when hjp told him to find a ceo for his company as he isn't cutout to be one... HJP gave that as an advice when dosan asked him to guide them... Instead of understanding why he said so dosan was grumpy over it... He finally understood that when he failed to get into the ceo list and when dalmi presented their project with confidence which none of the 3 could have done... But instead of thanking hjp he was busy making sure dalmi dont get close to hjp at anu cost...
The 2 minions of dosan blocked hjp twice from meeting their ceo just 1-2 days before demo day and hjp only wanted to boost her confidence and prepare her for the big day but those two didn't care about that... Yongsan forcefully took his fone when all he did was try to save their asses from getting used...
Even after having a mentor who has so much experience none of the 5 even though of consulting him before signing such a big deal... Hjp already warned those guys to be aware of people who are way too generous without any reason... If they don't like hjp then fine consult the ceo lady... She is super nice to everyone and very approachable...
The biggest problem with SST and dalmi is that they cannot accept the reality that they only have ideas and they don't know even the basic thing about business or corporate world and they don't even want to know about it... The Sst guys don't like if someone points out their flaws and acts like they are some big shots already...
Cant believe Alex turned out like this:(Here I was ready to ship him with InJae lol.This show has some grudge…
Sst guys can be fooled by a bunch of developers from an unknown company... If they are not smart enough to understand that how are they gonna know about someone who works for one of the biggest companies in the world... Alex from the start was only interested in dosan and I kind of knew he only wanted dosan...
I just realised that the comment section is so interesting that I watch the drama to participate in here... Lmao...
One of the main reasons I didn't want to watch startup when it was started was because this one gave me the vibe that it will go downhill after a point and I was right .. I watch 10episodes in a go only out of the curiosity I got after reading all the comments here...

Why are the writers marking hjp feel guilty for something he don't even mean?
Till the end yongsan don't regret the way he treated HJP... He dont see the fact that when HJP first saw sst, they were just 3 guys who were good at programming but has zero knowledge about anything else... Obviously noone will invest in them... It's not like sst only went to hjp for investment... He was just one of the many investors that rejected sst... They just happen to meet him in person... Other investors would have said the same thing to these guys...
They made it to the demo day because hjp took personal interest in dalmi and prepared her well... He gave an elaborate list of investors they can approach even though he didn't agree with their model...
Yongsan is still behaving like sst won completely because of them and HJP did nothing...
Like dosan gets angry on hjp for no reason, dalmi also try to fight with injae... Finally dalmi learned she cannot beat her more experience and smarter sister... Good for her...
