I just read some reviews on Start-Up here and other social media platforms and I had to write a review here. As much as I agree with most of the views on the drama, I think it is very biased and not a clear depiction of what the drama is as a whole. It felt very biased and I can see from biased fans of Kim Seon Ho(great actor and deserves another drama as a lead soon). From the very start, HJP had a strong connection with Grandma and the writers very well showed it till the end. He didn't look for Dalmi 15 years and only liked her after being jealous seeing her with DoSan while DoSan's lover for Dalmi has been genuine since the beginning. HJP and Dalmi were never going to work out as HJP is much more mature and successful and deserves a much stronger female counterpart. Do San as much he was low self-esteem and lost kid, his love for Seo Dal Mi was genuinely true and helped him grow stronger over the later eps. They had to be the end couple.

Everyone had a decent ending, HJP invested in an orphanage, he got a family in grandma and Dalmi, DoSan got his character development from crybaby, dependent and lost genius kid to a responsible and mature CTO, Dalmi became the CEO of the company and making big decisions rationally and Kang Hanna got back with her family. Samsan Tech grew into become a unicorn company.

The OSTs were really good and fitted the scenes when they were played. The acting from Kim Seon Ho 10/10 and the rest of the cast did really well to portray the character despite their flaws. I sincerely ask everyone watching for the first time to see this drama as a whole and not be biased as Kim Seon Ho or Nam Joo Hyuk fan. This drama showed the struggles of a start-up and a good romance. It doesn't deserve the hate on the actors because of how some people wanted the ending to be like.

It's your views and your opinion so I don't have any say but just wanted to tell you here that this drama doesn't deserve the hate. Nam Joo Hyuk and Bae Suzy do not deserve the hate and this drama doesn't deserve the hate just because Kim Seon Ho didn't get the ending you wanted. Sorry!
