I write this to appreciate Kim Seon Ho excellent acting
at first, I watched Start-up not because of Suzy or NJH. I watched this drama because of what's happening now. then the first episode told about relay start-up and back story about Dalmi and Jipyeong. the first episode was written so beautifully, the cinematography also took beautifully. the beautiful story only last until episode 10. episode 1 until 10 they mix the story about business, mentor, star-up, and love even though Dosan's character was annoying but still bearable. I really appreciate Jipyeong's character development, he was an orphanage, started to learn investment, and entered college. years passed he became a successful VC and people said he wasn't starting from zero? he is the real definition of start from zero, Dosan got support from his parents and family. Jipyeong's characters were different he is bold and giving the truth but it is what I expected when I decided to watch startup then the elementary love story came and made it cringe.Dosan took letter words like he was the writer while Dalmi and Jipyeong never mention it. Jipyeong confessed his feeling to Dalmi even though he said he didn't expect her answer but at least she gave the answer why she has to wait until Dosan back (i.e after 3 years) and it was Jipyeong who started it and she only answers with OK? like just OK? and after episode 10 they never mention the letter or business.
and I think the writer wrote this script like the words that Dosan always used "sailing without a map" and Dosan said it was marvelous, very marvelous to teenagers I guess. the characters all of them were in their 30s why Dosan and Dalmi act like teenagers?
the signs, parallels, and theories were beautiful. but I don't know why the writer abandoned those beautiful theories and parallel as it didn't exist. when I read those theories I felt like I'm about to watch the avenger series
and CTO and CEO are married couples? is it okay for unicorn business? what happens when they divorce? and how can you plan business without a 'map'? you need plans from A to Z.
but standing applause for Kim Seon Ho acting just watched his eyes I was about to cry. His acting was so detailed and outstanding. I was so awed of him but then he is a theater actor so why doubt him. the story is messed up but the actor and actress were excellent especially Kim Seon Ho. if you want to see his acting it worth watching this show. If you watch this drama don't read the theories from Twitter, tumbler, or Reddit because it was beautiful beyond expectation and this drama cant reach it.
if they stay with the story line like a start-up, business, and letter it would hit big then this
