What eent wrong is tbey focused more on the love triangle than the actual Start Up. If only the leads didn't enter sandbox, none of this would happen. Lols....

you know accusing one ship is the same way as fanning this war. It's not entirely NDS shippers who's being like this, some HJP fans too are attacking. So dont generalize when both sides are at fault.

noone is forcing to jump ship. all im saying is, i defend NDS to posts that lambast him so much whilst bringing HJP up. You can praise your ship without lambasting the others. Also, noone is making you change your bias, you can support HJP all you want.

im not saying this in behalf of all dodal shippers but i tend to comment on a HJP ship IF they bring down dosan just to highlight HJP's goodness, but if it's purely about HJP, I could care less.

some commenters here wanted to stop the shipping wars here in MDL and focus on the story and yet, there are some like this comment who just wants to fan the flames of this shipping war.

R94 will always be that drama I will not be able to go back to. I didnt even finished it because SLS is too strong there. Start Up shipping wars is nothing compared to R94. It was hell.

not entirely realistic.. because there are SDM in this world. It wasn't really shown much and that's a fault in the storytelling. The shift in focus from start-up to love lines made it seem unrealistic to have SDM be that amazing. But yeah

but yes, i do agree with all your points hehe

No no.. what i meant was, you're explanation did not paint HJP a bad person.. as some others would do when they defend their ships. it's totally unbiased. And i think, he could still have some growth even if he's only a mentor.. being in a love triangle can be bloody.. He can still feel the love from grandma.. HJP is too precious (thats why i understand why many love him)

SDM is not yet an 'amazing' CEO, she has the potential to be one but not yet. I do think SDM has so much experience to help her be an amazing CEO (with all her part time jobs, and passing the CEO tests of sandbox).
Also, keep in mind that fake DS is not HJP only.. there's Grandma too.
Both helped her to be confident and have some characer growth. No one is greater or lesser to the contribution they gave for SDM's growth. It's her own.
I'm not here as NDS bias but more of SDM.

but that's not to say that all of SDM's growth is because of HJP, it's her own efforts. She studies real hard, took advices from her mentor and combined all the knowledge she has. Please remember that if not only for her financial probs, SDM could have been in the status of WIJ, if only she had continued her studies. She's a smart lady and the only handicap she has is her educational bg

HJP mentors SDM because he's the mentor chosen for SST. SDM would seek his advice.. because he is their mentor. Other times, SDM researched for herself for the company.. You're giving HJP too much credit when in fact SDM almost did everything for herself, to what resources she has..
Also the speech, it may have helped dalmi, but it wasn't entirely projected that it's because of HJP. Remember that SDM pause for like 1-2 minutes before starting because she's nervous, but she took a deep breath and yep.. shines but not entirely because of the speech edited by HJP. so yep.

i dont think in her post HJP was villified.

Sameee. Tho really.. has HJP know about grandma's vision?? I thought the teaser before (HJP crying in the rain) is about that but nahhh.. hayyy

WIJ highlight pleaseu.

I cared more about WIJ than the mother if only the writer cared the same. hayys. Justice for WIJ pleaseu :(((

God tier OTP in this drama goes to Grandma and HJP.

His motivation to improve may not be to everyone's liking (it's kind of not a good one, ie, his jealousy over HJP's success, and seeing him as a threat for SDM), but I think, that's more good than just sulking but not doing anything? At least he wants to improve so he could somehow beat HJP. and also, this kind of scenario exist in real life.

of course im happy for this explanation. aside from my growing bias for NDS, this explanation does not paint HJP as a bad person, tho i want to add that I think, HJP is not that self-centered but his rebel-like attitude is his own way of protecting himself from the world especially before he met grandma. He still carried it with him after he parted ways to grandma (the same way he carried that certificate he got, it's like his shield). it would have been better if HJP was more of a mentor for NDS and SDM than a contender in this love triangle.

thats what i thought too. a little light hearted version of itaewon class.. but nope. love triangle it is.
