Start-Up is a great story about friends, family and about starting a new bussiness with all sorts of different problems which can come along with it. This could easily be a 10/10 review IF… there’s a big if. Despite the very likeable story and characters, the male lead just didn’t sit well with me (for many reasons). On the other hand, second male lead was made exceptionally well. I related to him in many ways and in emotional scenes I really symphatized with him (which is nice, but it’d be awesome if I felt this way about the main male lead since he’s the main one…).
Like I said this could be a 10/10 but unfortunately the writers chose to go with a different route than I wished, rooted and hoped for. I felt like the history shown between Jipyeong and Dalmi was thrown away too easily and it didn’t really make much sense to me.
Overall though Start-Up is a well-written story. I wouldn’t get discouraged by some reviews here and still give it a shot. I think this series deserves a chance despite its flaws.
