Three Stars

Os primeiros episódios te deixam com uma grande expectativa do que está para vir no final, o que será que acontecerá no fim, como os roteiristas vão arrumar a história, o "misunderstanding" do Nam Do-San.Infelizmente a série se torna tão fraca conforme os episódios vão passando, não tem como responder pra alguem do que está série é sobre, nem sei se isso é algo ruim pra dizer a verdade, mas acho que nesse caso específico é, é muito ruim.Achei muito vergonhoso da parte dos escritores tentarem desenvolver os personagens que estavam em volta do ML (que nesse caso agora é o Do-San), e simplesmente dando um grande dane-se para a FL e pro HJP que foram os primeiros a serem introduzidos no drama.Me deixa triste ver o quão essa trama de "nao temos um plano mas vamos no dar bem assim mesmo", nada realistico, os adultos dessa série são os mais sensatos e pé no chão e isso não envolve a FL nem o ML nesse ponto, o que é frustrante demais.A nota 6.0 vai pros atores e pela atuação, principalmente pela Halmoni e HJP, as cenas deles são as que mais me fizeram soluçar.E também vai pro OST maravilhoso, as tres estrelas são pra todas as cenas que começava a tocar Future.Fechando essa review, infelizmente Start Up foi uma decepção, com personagens fúteis e superficiais demais (me refiro ao ML e a FL), e com a pior construção e desenvolvimento do melhor personagem da série.

THIS EPISODE WAS RAW AND IT BROKE ME

There's so much to unpack here. It shocked me to my core that much that I had to write a review about this specific episode. I typically don't write reviews either -- I usually just rave about it to whoever will listen (which I suppose is the same as what I'm doing now) but wow.This episode is unmatched. I wasn't sure how it was going to be topped after Pyeon Sangwook killed Choi Yoonjae but by God did they do it -- this episode was so raw, especially with the final few scenes. My jaw was unhinged throughout and only grew wider the further the scene went. Jung Jaehun fighting the security guard will be an unparalleled moment for me. The emotion running throughout never ceases to amaze me, just when I think I've got the person written-down they do something else.I'm new to horror so this was a different pick for me but I've never been more confident in my choice. This is solely based on the strong storytelling and plot that runs throughout. I am blessed to have witnessed this webtoon come to life (sidenote: I haven't read the webtoon but am aware of the origins).

Our girl Mi Young is just the sweetest, most…

Our girl Mi Young is just the sweetest, most earnest person. She gave Joong Hee really good advice, and I was proud of him for following through and demanding the treatment he deserves. I was surprised he felt so distant with his stepfather since according to what they said in an earlier episode, it sounds like his mother married his stepfather pretty soon after Joong Hee was born. But at the same time, not all families mesh, even when everyone is related, so of course there could be issues in any family. I'm not thrilled with how they handle time in this show -- I get whiplash since some days take multiple episodes to get through, whereas the honeymoon (a week? two weeks?) passed instantly. I know there are a lot of different storylines we're hopping around between, but I still get pretty confused about how much time passes between scenes.
