Interesting take. I love it and agree 100%!One could also argue, once NDS self esteem, and insecurities are fixed,…
if her character is written in a way where she dont care then she dont care... kdramas work like that only... if the leads fell in love and was apart from each other for years they will still be in love with each other... after all its kdrama and they dont do 'realistic things'... everything works on destiny, faith and pure love...
I personally think a 3rd person should not interfere when 2 sisters are fighting... It's not like dalmi don't know how to deal with her mean sister... Dalmi didn't had a comeback because injae pointed out something that was going on in her head... Are they showing that a girl who don't get intimidated by her super rich stepdad and brother got intimidated by someone like dosan? Going by how cunning and clever injae is she would have gotten back at him as well... But since he is the male lead and she is slightly on the negative side, they won't show the lead guy loosing to the 2nd female lead...
Like hjp told dalmi, one can either be a good person or a ceo.. injae chose to be the ceo and she by far is better than dalmi... Ofcourse she has the advantage of having more experience in the field but she is a capable lady and that's why her stepdad used her to run his company...

But since this is kdrama it's not gonna happen... He is gonna be in love with dalmi no matter how rich or confident he gets...
Also when dosan gets rich and confident, dalmi will also grow professionally and personally...
If their growth is away from each other, it's quite unrealistic that they both harbour feelings for each other for years while being apart... Their current relationship is nothing special to be remembered atleast for dalmi... For dosan it's still his first love and first relationship... Until now it looks like dalmi entered into a relationship solely because she thought he was her penpal... They randomly started holding hands and hugging... Even their kissing scene seemed quite disconnected... Going by how Love struck dosan is, they are never shown to act like a couple in love except for the beach scene... Even now their relationship status seems complicated... Dalmi don't really acknowledge dosan as her bf...
But if dalmi can be in love with her penpal for 15 yrs without seeing him then the drama can clearly show her still being in love with dosan after 3 yrs... It's pretty obvious dosan will make it big only to come back and get dalmi and dalmi will be all starry eyed when she sees the super rich and confident dosan even if she herself might be rich and confident herself...
so happy and proud of all the attention that Kim Seon Ho is getting through start up. He's been on the business…
NJH should not choose dramas with strong second male leads... he always gets overshadowed and to top it, dosan isnt the charismatic charming male lead... he improved a lot from what i saw of him in weightlifting fairy and bride of haebok but he isnt exactly a very strong actor with amazing screen presence... he can easily get overshadowed by a better actor... one of the main reasons why kim seon ho shinned even more is because NJH and suzy arent exactly very strong actors even though they are not bad actors...
I kind of feel Start Up was meant to be a drama that was suppose to be attractive to western audience. They even…
i dont feel like it was supposed to attract western audience...
the startup is based on IT field so to make it to the top they need to attract american market... i dont have much knowledge about IT field but i guess US companies show interest in IT based startups in other countries( esp asian countires) and they invest in it.. its also to show that the opportunities given by sandbox can help people to end up in silicon valley... thats why they constantly refer the US and has actors like saha and alex who are from the outside...
kdramas always prioritize their korean audience over their international audience and they promote korean culture as much as possible through kdramas... korean government uses kdrama, kpop as soft powers... so they will never completely westernize kdramas to attract more western audience... people watch kdramas because its different from western dramas so why westernize kdramas?
I don't get it either, why the female characters of this drama are always orbiting around some dude storyline?…
won injae is the only exception and she isnt getting enough screentime... alex and saha would be perfect... i guess even yongsan is a better choice than chulsan as he didnt go around irritating saha like chulsan...
I like Sa Ha as well. She is pretty but above all her personality is endearing. She is prickly outside but she…
sadly stories of both cheolsan and yongsan's story is most out of the blue scenes in ep 10... neither made any sense...
i personally dont find saha and cheolsan together as a fun and good storyline.... it seems like the makers are forcefully pulling 'she is out of my league' subplot for them...
You mean the borderline valley girl accent? I prefer Alex's accent, he's such a scene stealer!Ugh, her pairing…
i like alex too... i just liked the way she spoke when the guys and her were comparing dosan and HJP...
i watched their scene in ep 10 solely to make a sense but that scene was so random and out of character...
yongsan's outburst was also odd but i think i mentioned that sometimes back so i didnt bring it up again... ep 10 had a lot of random scenes...
p.s- i read somewhere that alex could be the guy to whom dosan gave his medal during maths olympiad and maybe thats why he has special interest in dosan...
i like how saha speaks english in b/w.. her voice and accent is very attractive... cannot belive she is gonna end up with cheolsan... i would have been fine if he was like a lovable dork but he is downright irritating (i liked the actor so much in cloy but dont like his character in this one)... he said to her to stop leading him on and i was like wtf... except for faking that she likes him for like 5mins for valid reasons, she never leads him on or gave him green signals... she was always irritated with him and his antics... her suddenly holding his hands and dragging him itself was out of character and him suddenly playing 'hard to get' was another wtf moment for me... to top it all she suddenly has some kind of feelings for him...
This drama was good, though I admit the whole "courier" thing still confuses me and makes me laugh a little. The…
Those glasses are not simply just sun glasses... It helps the hacker ahjumma to see what healer is seeing and it also has a lot of other features which i don't know how to explain... They are like smart glasses instead of sunglasses...
Nobody every saw his face and the hacker ahjumma erases almost all the cctv footage of him... Even other people in the same field haven't seen him... So obviously noone will think the new intern is the healer...
JCW's last two dramas have been terrible (with a capital T) not even his good looks could save it. He is good…
Out of the popular kdrama actors jcw is among the few who are pretty decent actors and his acting is nowhere near bad... There are actors way better than him but his acting is obviously not bad... Backstreet rookie might not have been liked by many but his acting was pretty good esp in emotional scenes...
Does anyone know when it comes out where I can watch it?
Comes out on Dec 8th on kakao( korean streaming site).. Don't know if it has any official international streaming site... There are rumours that it will also air on netlfix
Airs only ONE episode for 30 minutes each week!? :O I guess I'll just wait until all the episode are out to binge…
One episode per week means 3 months... Even 16episode dramas end in 2 months and that too with more than one hour air time... This is so unfair... They should have just uploaded all the episodes at ones like how Netflix does
