HJP went to confess to Dal Mi because he wished she would see him as man but when he told her he is the one who wrote the letters she did not ask anything about them and she just left. This made him upset and frustrated. This is why the next day he followed her to the restaurant pretending he had more to say and confessed on an impulse.

Then he went to brag about it to Do San's face. What he did was very unprofessional because Dal Mi and Do San were the CEO and CTO of the company he was mentoring and they were at a key moment of their time in Sand Box, just before Demo Day. It was really not the time to mess things up.

Why he went to Do San to give him a list of possible questions for Demo Day to pass to Dal Mi? He could have sent them to Dal Mi directly and held a training session with her to prepare her the best way possible. He went to give them to Do San to piss him off because he was jealous. HJP totally mixed personal matters with professional matters. This culminated when he went into hiding on Demo Day and took a day off the next day because he was too sick or ashamed of what he did.

I agree with you. If he did not go on tilt and waited for Alex to succeed in his plan to disband SST, Dos San and Dal Mi would have broken up and he would have had plenty of time to court Dal Mi and make her fall for him. Instead he made himself look like a petty and jealous guy and he made her uncomfortable at a complicated time for her. That definitely sank his own ship and he would never recover from that.

I did not like HJP as a person but I liked him as a character. Even if the course of his actions made him look pathetic, it was quite realistic. I can totally see a guy doing wrong like he did because he cannot cope properly with the onesided feelings he has for a young woman. It surely happens like that in real life too. lol.

A player? oh.. Maybe he will be wooing another woman then? Gosh this uncertainty is annoying. I guess I need to try and see by myself.

I dropped Oh my Ghostess after a few eps because I could not figure who the FL was. Your comment makes things even more confusing and blurred to me... lol.

Someone advised me to watch the Cdrama version but I don't want to be in a logic of comparison. I think I will just watch this one.

Maybe the easiest thing is to think the guy is bisexual?

That would be interesting and it would add some spice and complexity but who the King will be in love with?

I understand your point of view. It explain that some people feel they are born in the wrong body and try to have a body in line with their soul. I also think a man in a woman's body is still a man... Since you started this, I will do with like you :)

Well I agree that technically, being in the body of a woman, it's a woman. So it is not gay. But you yourself said "He is heterosecual". So that means you consider he (the soul) is male. Are souls male and female?

The question is not so easy to answer. Some people say, souls have no gender. Some other says they have male or female energies. Some say they do have a gender.

I will wait for 4 or 6 ep to air then I will try and see if the situation is explained in a way I can accept.

I am still trying to make my mind accept the fact that the soul of a man with man's souvenirs of a man's life is now a woman who will fall in love with another man... I'll start this drama when I manage to do it.

Don't pay attention. The drama is good. This is what matters. Thanks to the people who gave their best efforts to make it.

If you finished ep 10 you should know already... If you have SLS, just don't finish it. It will hurt you like it hurt many ppl here with SLS. Life is short. Watch what you enjoy.

The pain of the ones with SLS... lol.

Su Mo was often on her own as a teen in tough conditions so she developed a selfish personality. This is why she likes it when people take care of her but she doesn't give much in return. For me she is a weak and childish peson. Lin Xiang An is completely infatuated with her and accepts she "uses" him hoping she will finally accept his heart.

I sometime find him pathetic but I also laud his perseverance in chasing her. Many guys would have given up but he won't because he knows her well. She is stucked at a moment of time when she is back and worthy of Ming Zhe but the guy moved forward already. Maybe she won't be slapped but sure she will have to admit it.

I also think SFL does not have any quality to make her likeable. Even today when she was with the kids, she looked so hypocritical... I hope she will received a hard wake up call and become someone better if she can.

Lin Xiang An is pathetic but he knows that Ming Zhe doesn't love Su Mo and that she is just lost in her delusion. She fell in love Ming Zhe because he insisted to take care of her when she was having problems. So his tactic is pretty logic. Hang on his position until Su Mo renounces because Ming Zhe will never go back to her. Lin Xiang An knows Su Mo wants a man to treat her like a princess and this is what he does for her.

I also think the plot is draggy and I hate these scenes with Chen the weasel Luo and his pathetic schemes to force himself on the right side of Ran Ran. She seems too naïve to see throught his underhanded moves. Anyway, it will backfire to him. But Ran Ran is too nice, she will forgive him for sure.

I expect the truth between Ming Zhe and Su Mo will be revealed to Ran Ran the most dramatic way causing a major breakdown.

OK, I'll remember your recommendation when I have insomnia. lol.

I did not try Record of Youth because I am not a huge fan of Park Bo Gum and I read feedbacks about it which did not convince me to change my mind. Probably I will never watch it.

You know my opinion about Start up. Regarding HJP I thought he was a consistent endearing character but my problem was with the course of his actions. He went too far in questionable behaviors (rude inefficient mentoring and scheming third wheel in a fake love triangle). He ended up too cliché and messed up with no proper ending. That's my opinon only of course.

Forbes just named Start-up among the 13 best Korean dramas of the year. lol. These guys know nothing surely.

My facts are that a 18 years old HJP accepted to lie and impersonate a 12 years old boy and pretend to be the penfriend of a 12 yo girl. 15 years later this same HJP went to ask a guy he stole his name and identity to help Dal Mi trick her sister by joining her at a party. HJP fails to convince Do San but Do San goes on his own. Everything could have stopped here after Do San is almost busted by In Jae and her mother. But HJP intervenes and makes the lies going. So Do San is stucked in a scheme he never wanted to be part of. Lucky for him, that gives him the chance to be next to the girl he fell in love with and he became her real first Love. After numerous challenges and obstacles, they marry and are happy with their friends and families. I hope you like these facts.

I was confused too at first and I had to investigate and be patient before I see better in the order of ML and SML and ML actor and SML actor. I don't think it is cheesy or cliché.

Cheesy and cliché would have been "two penfriends of 15 years ago find each other and fall in love". The non cheesy and non cliché is : "Two kids fated to be lovers by a grandma and her good boy".

Actually Do San and Dal Mi were absolutely not related 15 years ago. They were just brought together "in name" by letters. 15 years later they are brought together "in person". That's the beauty of Fate.
