Great drama if you’re not looking for romance

My first review just to give my voice to negate the bad comments.

I am a start-up co-founder, working in the IT area, and I studied computer science, so I am familiar with AI. One review said that this is not about business or AI... well, I disagree with that as I can relate to some stories in the drama. So for me, this is not a romance drama.

They tell us how they create a team, how they come up with an idea, how their products can succeed, how hard it is to find an investor, how you can be conned and mistreated by some big companies. This drama tells us a lot about starting a business from zero, so I would not say this drama focuses on the romance.

I agree that the leads lack in chemistry, but since I don’t watch it for the romance, I don’t mind it. I deduct most of 1.5 points for the chemistry between the leads. But for the story itself, I think it’s a great one.

Of course, I am also that-guy team, and I am sad that he is not the one being with the lead at the end, but hey, as Dal Mi said, you don’t need a reason to love someone; you just found someone that is “clicked” with you. I don’t deduct any point just because my ship doesn’t sail.

As for the characters’ development, I think both FL and ML have their character development. ML was someone with no confidence, but he gains his confidence because of FL. Similarly, FL has this insecurity in her because she always compares herself with his sister, but no more towards the end. Character development does not always about evil side become angel side; the second lead character’s development is more significant, I agree. But it doesn’t mean that the drama lacks character development.
