I think Start-Up doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.

The setting was really nice — I'm not familiar with the startup world at all, so it was interesting, especially given that a vocabulary is provided each episode.

The setup was amazing. Seeing how it evolved and what consequences it brought was amusing and engaging, honestly. I proceeded to the next episode right after, it got me so caught up in the story.

It is actually the first drama where I would be fine with the main character choosing either love interest. They both seem to fit her in the different ways. Seeing them actually compete was hilarious at times.

Family is an important aspect of Start-Up. It is also the part where I teared up the most. Some lessons were made, albeit clichey and obvious. Actually, every time grandma appeared on the screen made me cry.

The drama has its issues, too. Some moments were unnecessary dramatic. Some moments made me think "wtf am i watching right now". Some parts could've been a lot better.

But still, Start-Up made me laugh, and cry, and motivated, and confused between which LI to root for. It made me emotional. I don't expect a cinematic masterpiece out of the dramas. So I enjoyed it very much.
