I think self-learning is better than attending college cos she ain't gonna learn computer engineering. When you…
she lives in a country that gives high importance to education and the main reason why she never got a stable job is because she didnt had a college degree... she basically has a natural talent of selling things like its shown in the coffee shop in the first episode but apart from that she literally has zero knowlege about how the corporate world works and she dreams of being a ceo... bill gates and steve jobs might have been college drop outs but they dropped out from world famous colleges and already has immense knowledge and idea about what they want... even when she came to sandbox she just wanted to be a ceo and didnt matter what the start up was about.. she didnt even know the basic of what sst is about... she knew what machine learning was only because dosan explained to her before... she was lucky that dosan choose her and hjp was there to guide her... but since she is the FL she will succeed...
DM dropped out of the college because she got to know that grandma sold her shop for fees so she bought a truck…
not really.. grandma said she dropped out of college and worked to get money and buy her a food truck... which literally means grandma sold her shop for nothing...
Oh my! I just realized something, I know what the writers are going to do.OK hear me out..Alex wants NDS to come…
the only problem is dalmi will never leave with him if thats his plan... she isnt gonna leave her grandma alone esp in that condition and grandma is not gonna go to the US with her...
What would the reaction be if HJP actually does turn out to be the main lead/endgame?
i am almost 90% ( 10% simply as benefit of doubt) sure that he isnt gonna be a male lead... except for the first episode his screen-time is limited and for the last 2-3 episodes he has even lesser screen time... he is shinning on every screen time he gets and leaves an impact of his presence even if he isnt onscreen... then the swoon(korean netflix page) on YouTube mostly puts dosan and dalmi content only.. almost 80% of the clips are of dosan and dalmi... they are making it clear who the leads are...
i wont be surprised if he gets even lesser screentime in the coming episodes...
i dont get why dalmi dropped out of college to make money for a food truck... if she dropped out what happened to the money grandma got from selling her shop? also she already bought a food truck for grandma then why didnt she go back to college... she got into a top university and she just let it go even though she dreams of having her own business... that was such a dumb move... even now as a ceo she literally knows nothing... HJP or NDS needs to teach her all the techicalities that goes behind... she can simply take a break from college and make money in b/w then join the college in the next semester... as far as i have seen korean universities allow students to take break in b/w.. a lot of men in college take a break from college for 2 yrs and get enlisted... a lot of korean celebrities do that too... its shown in a lot of kdramas as well..
There should have been two seperate love lines and no triangle at all. Dal Mi with Do San and Ji Pyung with In…
he is clearly very attentive towards people he likes so he will clearly be active in a relationhsip and wont dumb everything on his partner and run off to work... again just because a guy is career oriented doesnt mean he wont have time for his partner or family...
if going by how normal korean women behave then even dalmi and injae would have to say bye-bye to their career after marriage or get married to a house husband as they both are career oriented women... dramas like startup are exactly aiming to tell that women can have a career..
as long as both the parties are ready to adjust and make some compromises and respect each other's professional life, two career oriented people can make a relationship work...
if HJP end up with dalmi then she will get death threats from dosan/NJH fans... everyone has crazy ass fans and…
HJP's confession is already a huge hit in korea as well as internationally... majority of the people liked it... see the reaction of knetz reaction to that... kim seon ho is capable enough of an actor to not make any dialogue look like a renunciation... as of now majority of the audience will be more than happy if HJP ends up being the male lead and dalmi chooses him after the time jump if dalmi and hjp spend sufficient amount of time together in dosan's absence...
There should have been two seperate love lines and no triangle at all. Dal Mi with Do San and Ji Pyung with In…
the basic mindset that career-oriented women cannot handle a good household need to change... also having a job doesn't directly mean she will be as busy as HJP... HJP himself dont seem to be super busy... he has more than enough time for himself...
he can understand affection.. he is just afraid of getting attached to people as he is not used to it... if he falls in love with a career-oriented woman he is the kind to support her... he is matured enough to understand all that...
working women are clearly capable to handling guys like HJP... infact matured working women will choose guys like HJP who gives them space and helps them out... also its not necessary tha the girl needs to sit at home to give him shoes or umbrella when he needs it... giving emotional support and comfort doesnt mean babysitting...
Also as someone who roots for HJP...hating the criticism against NDS for crying /being emotionally weak-Yes HJP…
crying is certainly not a weak personality trade...
the problem is nds lacks self confidence and due to that he fears he will loose dalmi... in this process he does everything in his control to please dalmi... he makes professional decisions and personal decisions based on dalmi... his insecurities make him dislike HJP and fears dalmi will choose HJP if she gets close to HJP... thats why he dont need HJP to be the plan B for dalmi... he is not trying to overcome his fear and fight for himself rather doing things in a hurry to make sure his fears dont become reality...
on the other hand, HJP knows he screwed up his chance with dalmi himself and he is ready to accept that he did wrong... he is ready to own up to his mistakes and dont mind dalmi being happy with someone else... HJP try not to bring HJP in any of his conversations with dalmi whereas dosan even though he openly admitted dont like dosan still defended dosan infront of dalmi and even said dosan's feelings are genuine...
dosan needs to work on himself rather than making his entire life revolve around dalmi...
There should have been two seperate love lines and no triangle at all. Dal Mi with Do San and Ji Pyung with In…
not really... he is fully capable of handling himself... he needs someone to love him and not someone to babysit him... he needs a partner who understands him... also he is perfectly fine with career orineted women...
I read some rumors that the writer is getting death treats, because HJP isnt getting Dal Mi, I hope this isn't…
if HJP end up with dalmi then she will get death threats from dosan/NJH fans... everyone has crazy ass fans and crazy fans giving dead threats to others is a common thing in korea... kpop idols literally get 10times more shit than kdrama writers... the celebrities will either ignore it or will file a complaint...
I am curious about KSH/HJP's fans.Are KSH's fan are ranting cos HJP is not the main lead?Will they be happy if…
if we talk about actors then kim seon ho even now dont have half the fan following as njh... so people prefer HJP not because of the actor but rather his acting skills...
This was a response to ItsV but it's so long I just decided to submit it as a general comment.Even if we focus…
if dalmi ends up with HJP then dosan will be the most useless lead in the history of kdrama leads... HJP has overshadowed dosan to the level his character's existence completely depends on dalmi's feelings for him... also the makers will do complete injustice to dosan and nam joo hyuk... even though i like HJP the most as a character, dalmi having any sort of feelings for him dont make any sense... even her obsession to her pen pal for 15 yrs is over exaggerated... as of now HJP is just a mentor to her... HJP has a character is strong enough to have an impact without dalmi with him... his backstory and his relationship with grandma already moved the audience and majority are already in love with him... thats not the case for NDS... even his backstory and his reason for low self esteem didnt affect the audience... its all overshadowed by HJP and his backstory... the only upper hand NDS has over HJP as of now is dami's feelings for him...
HJP only have a chance with dalmi if dosan is out of the picture and she spends time with him during the time jump... if she still chooses dosan over HJP then her feelings for dosan when they were together were geniuen and she turely loved him deeply when they were together even though as an audience i didnt feel such kind of deep love from dosan or dalmi for each other...
I didn't like when he left her in that park all alone(plus she was intoxicated). If something would have happen…
i dont think thats a big deal... seoul is one of the safest asian cities and getting drunk is a cultural thing... unless its a crime drama or a melodrama nothing major happens to drunk female characters roaming around in the city at night... literally almost all adult female leads in kdrama rom-coms are shown to atleast have one scene where they roam around at night completely wasted... that being said, i also feel he should have left her alone when she clearly said she needs time alone...
This is for people who are misunderstanding NDS for making a deal regarding SST without talking to anyone:Alex…
but NDS is the brain of sst and him leaving with alex means the end of sst atleast for short time... thats literally backstabbing his 2 friends that stood with him through thick and thin... he should have told his friends about the deal he made with alex... the problem is all his decisions regarding sst is keeping dalmi in mind when his friends are equally involved in sst... he should have prioritized what his friends think about the decisions he make about sst...
also HJP might have been rude but he never even once gave advice or opinion that will damage sst... he is the one that helped them when others tried to steal sst's work and he is the one that showed NDS that he or his friends exactly isnt CEO material and he was right about it... he was a good mentor to them... dosan knew that and he followed HJP's advices till he started feeling jealous of HJP and saw him as a competition for dalmi's affection... its nam dosan himself that asked for HJP's advice in ep 4 because he knew HJP knows better... NDS and his friends are way too naive to be in the business and only a hard awakening is gonna make them see the reality... they only have the brain to create things not the common sense or capability to sell their product...
so when someone reach 30, they should forget about their parents and move on?her parents disappeared under unusual…
at the starting she got close to lee yeon just to find her parents and she made that clear with yeon as well... but they got close to each other and she said that to the village magistrate just to make him think that yeon dont hold much importance to her.. she at that time thought the magistrate was against lee yeon and is using her to make him weak... she wasnt aware that they were friends... she has been searching for her parents her entire life so obviously she will be obsessed with it... lee yeon's sole motto was to find ahyeum's reincarnation, lee rang's sole motto was to get attention of his older brother by hook or by crock and these are 1000 and 600 yr old beings... lee yeon and lee rang were also obsessed with something or the other... if 1000yr old and 600 yr old cannot get over people they loved centuries ago how can you expect a 30 yr old woman to forget her own parents?
i guess they wrote it with dosan as the male lead and wanted him to be the unconventional kdrama lead like the…
i guess the only factor that is against casting actors as big as park seo joon or lee minho is the age... none of the actors in their 20s have the crazy fan following actors like ksh, psj, lmh or jcw has... out of the actors in their 20s, i can only imagine park hyung sik who is capable of not getting overshadowed by a better actor... in all the dramas i have seen of him he stands on his own and never get overshadowed by his more popular costars like park seo joon or park bo young... he got noticed even in a multi-star family drama like whats wrong with my family... he also has a better screen presence than NJH... unfortunately he is in the military...
Okay so idk what to do. Like, i am at ep 5 and at first this drama was so cool, like first 3 episodes. Now, i…
so when someone reach 30, they should forget about their parents and move on? her parents disappeared under unusual circumstances without any trace... obviously she will be obsessed about finding them... they didnt had a natural death where she can move on.. she is the only child and they were her only family...
