A drama containing all emotions...

In a year like 2020, 'Start-up' was a drama that gave me a reason to pass a week waiting for a new episode.
It had my favorite casts each with unique individual characters. It's true that the story didn't end with what many expected but I was both happy and satisfied with clean beautiful happy ending. It was the type of drama where I found all kinds of emotions. I laughed and cried, hated and fell in love, etc. along with the characters. I also realized how lucky I am to live my life with not much hardships as many others out there. I rode the swing of emotions throughout the last two months.
Seo Dal Mi was a character that I loved and admired from the beginning till end. She had to go through many ups and downs throughout her life and at many times I felt life was too unfair and cruel to her. But she was a strong, resilient person who overcame those hardships. Nam Do San and Han Ji Pyeong were two opposite polar characters who had their own share of moments, stories, experience, sufferings and grew up for the better throughout the story. Seo In-jae didn't have that much of spotlight but I loved the way she paved her way throughout the story.
Grandma Choi Won-Deok is someone we all need in our life. She was the epitome of kindness, forgiveness, joy and more.
Forgiveness is something that is strongly mirrored in this drama. 'Start-up' teaches that life is too short to hate someone, so forgive them and move on with your life happily.
I was happy to watch 'Start-Up' and I hope to find more youth promising and optimistic drama in the future.
Thank you.

the Antagonist also has a tale to tell...

This is a drama which I watched at the beginning of my entrance in the Korean dramaland and I have re-watched it countless times since then. A unusual melodrama that gives us a ride through family bonds, life, love, values and so much more that gave me my favorite female lead of all times.

Eun Joo... a character that is unique in every way. Portrayed as an antagonist, she is strong, independent, cold, while secretly longing for warmth and love. Raised in a world of lies and being hurt so many times, she closed her heart at a very young age but gets the touch of warm affection from her new stepfather for the first time. This leads Eun Joo to depend on him little by little and becomes loyal to him out of gratitude. She tries her best to pay him back for his affection with all she can to the point that she hid her feelings and sacrificing her first love for Hyo Sun, her stepfather's daughter.

Every character of this story is at it's richest point with captivating plot and the best cast. I can't imagine any single change in this story and any imperfection on this drama makes the whole deal perfect. This is the only drama that never gets old to me.

Loved the drama, loved Eun Joo, still loving it...
