Why is it always a comparison? The poster said nothing about NJH.
Can’t people simply be happy about KSH?

Absolutely! Fingers crossed. Would be a shame to not see him in diverse strong roles. He is very skilled and talented!

KSH has done a phenomenal job as HJP and you will love his character and his acting but be forewarned that if you find yourself rooting for him and disliking NJH’s character (not NJH) after 7-8 episodes, it is very painful to watch towards the end

I assumed Hallyu meant ‘international’. Guess that’s not what it means.

Essentially, I meant — him becoming a true A lister with a solid body of high quality, successful work that is renowned.

Yup! Same here.

To be fair, he became really popular because of this drama. It did him a lot of good.

Most people started watching this drama because of NJH and Suzy simply because they are more famous. But they found KSH and became his fan as well.

While I saw KSH in Chief Kim, I didn’t register him in my mind because his character wasn’t given that scope. Startup really allowed him to shine!

So all in all, this was very good for KSH. Turned his life around, if you will.

This is the start of his Hallyu wave. I hope he gets better and better projects to become a solid A lister.

If you are a fan of KSH, watch his scenes alone.

I thought the same thing. InJae as a CEO was far more well written than DalMi and yet supposedly DalMi is the more successful one.

I am so annoyed with the path that the writer took. She basically downgraded professionalism, rational thinking, independent, strong women to promote irrational thinking with flowers and dreams in the air with no foundation other than the backup of two genius men who will protect and support her.

Thanks! What a joke of a show :) I can now forward through the episode, watch only HJP ‘s scenes and be done with it.

It goes to show how good he is. I could imagine him pretty much in any kind of role with any actress or actor and he would kill it. Whether it is serious, funny, scary, sad, what have you. He has a lot of screen presence and is charming as hell too.

Haha.. anything but NDS and DalMi :)

To be fair, NDS did give the RGB scrubs to Halmeoni.

That look could literally mean anything, no?

I mean she certainly has a warm half smile but it could be one of gratitude. But who knows!

There are so many plot holes and so many storylines and characters that are wasted. It is quite sad.

No matter how the drama ends, it is still not a good show objectively according to me.

DalMi's characterization went from extremely idealistic to being a go-getter and pragmatic to plain 'Damsel in distress'. In-Jae was wasted. So much potential there.

I really thought they will spend the time to show how the sisters will reconcile and how they both will learn from each other. I also hoped to see more growth with NDS. I hoped to see a bromance between HJP and NDS instead of this useless love triangle. I hoped to see HJP learn to love and be more vulnerable openly. I hoped to see more about startups and business world. No. None of that happened.

Nothing, they just wasted time showing NDS and DalMi staring at each other.

Hahhaha.. this was entertaining.

Genuinely curious. Isn’t DoSan also a rich and introverted male lead with childhood problems?

And why do you say ‘pity’? Do you mean HJP pities DalMi?

Agreed. So it will all depend on what DalMi wants in her life.

Does she want a pragmatic person who will let her grow on her own and support her regardless or someone who is a dreamer like her, forging the same path and will fail and grow along with her?

Depends on what is important to DalMi.

They were definitely genuine.
A) he saved them for 15 years
B) he smiled when he spoke about them
C) He remembers the words by-heart

Also.. they show him reading and writing the letter by himself later on in episode 1.

It is funny that everyone on one side asks this question about the other side, "are we watching the same drama?" :)

I am not going to go into the lengths of why many people feel differently from you do. If you go through the comments you will all the various explanations and dissections. They have been discussed ad nauseum.

Let's just say a large majority ,while they can relate and understand NDS, when it comes to romance, they feel that he needs to figure our his life and goals first.

As for HJP, they feel, he will be a good balance who will be the sandbox for DalMi and her dreams. In fact, quite the opposite to what you said, people want her to be with HJP because he supports her dreams without doing everything for her (which is what NDS does incidentally). She has always gained successes professionally through her interactions with HJP. HJP is also the realist while she is the dreamer which makes them a good pair. Whereas both NDS and DalMi are dreamers. Nothing wrong with being a dreamer but as DalMi said it herself, it is good to have breaks to a car otherwise the car will crash into a wall.

Anyway, there has been a lot of analysis in these threads.

All three — HJP, Halmeoni and DoSan wanted to tell the truth at different points but was stopped by others. DoSan was stopped by HJP and Halmeoni. HJP was also stopped by both DoSan and Halmeoni.

“ DoSan fell in love at first sight and did everything he could to be by Dalmi's side. Han didn't even care about her in the beginning. So, who's the selfish one here? “

How does Han not recognizing or having romantic feelings for DalMi make him selfish? Why exactly is Han selfish again?
