20201021 Today I've started watching Start-Up. ( I don't know if I'm gonna edit this post everytime I watch a new episode or even if I'll post it. I guess I will figure it out later) also don't know if this will be a review or more like a sinopsis of each episode
So I've started watching it because Nam JooHyuk stars in it to be honest. I watched the trailer and then idk where there was this clip from the second episode that shows Seo DalMi and Won InJae kind of morning routine and how different they live even though they are siblings. I wanted to know how come their lifes are so different and what is their relationship like.
Be aware there will be spoilers from now on.
So EP 1
The moment her mother shows the divorce papers you know how it is gonna end. DalMi wants to stay by her father's and grandmaās side since she values her family while InJae wants to be with her mother cause she has a similar point of view.
When InJae left with her mother she didn't know she would marry later a rich man, that she would be so lucky and would benefit her professional career. As we see them grow when they meet, we see how InJaeās attitude changes, how she grows apart from their lifestyle and hence, that part of her family.Ā Ā But she was so mean to tell her sister made the wrong decision. DalMi followed what her heart felt, and there is nothing wrong with that. InJae wanted to live her life easily, even if that means she has to move to another country. But there is nothing excuse to how she treats her sister. After she rejects her invitation to the event after the panel, she could just leave and nothing would have bothered me. But to thank her for showing her that she made the right choice? Just because her sister wears worn out shoesĀ and still lives with her grandma and have multiple part-time jobs. Even when InJae herself lives off her step-dad, it shows that she lacks emotional awareness probably due toĀ Childhood Emotional Neglect. I really want her to overcome it and be nicer and for them to have a good relationship.
Now, to their father. Man, you should have gone to the hospital the moment that car runs you over. Or even when the investors tell you toĀ reschedule, of even at the end of the meeting. That chicken can wait but I am 100% you are suffering from a cerebral contusion and your brain is bleeding and we all know whow it always ends when itās not treatedĀ immediately. But those people on the bus could at least take him seriously and call and ambulance I swear to God I was so mad at them.
I felt sorry to DalMi, who lost three of her emotional supports at the same day. But regardless of that, she is kind and caring and strong and she will be happy.
But for a sweet end, I was happy to seeĀ Han JiPyeong and grandma reunite. I feel like we will see a refreshing friendship.
EP 2Ā
I didnāt know who Nam JooHyuk would play, but never had I ever imagined he would play the grown up version of that little boy who won the Mathematical Olympiad. He portrays an intelligent but unlucky guy who just wants a chance to show the world his potential, and his friends potential. But as he runs a small business, no one takes them serioustly. Untill Han JiPyeong appears in front of him, or thatās what he thought.
DalMiās grandma asked JiPyeong to find Nam DoSan for her, and he did, as a sign of gratitude for rising him and taking care of him when he had nowhere to go.Ā
Han JiPyeong has no intention to invest in his business whatsoever, he just wants Nam DoSan (Nam JooHyuk character) to pretend to be DalMiās childhood friend Han Ji-Pyeong and her grandma made up.
DoSan, as expected, is disappointed but he doesnāt loose the chance to ask in return to let their business enter Sand Box (a fictional Silicon Valley) but ad JiPyeong is a businessman he rejects claiming DoSanās start-up doesnāt have the potential and will go bankrupt. And then he leaves, and one may think thatās the last time DoSanās gonna appear.Ā
But as he read DalMiās letters JiPyeong had been collecting from all those years, he gets mesmerized by her words and decides to help them. And then is when we see him as a heartthrob walking towards DalMi at her sisterās late night event. Even JiPyeong could believe his transformation, with a new haircut and wearing a suit, he definitely looks like someone else.
I just hope they just donāt lie to DalMi throughout the whole show or at least when she finds out ( cuz she will find out) they can still be friends and eventually start dating and being happy together? They both had a difficult childhood and are still leading with some issues, but I really want them to be their emotional support again, but this time being Nam DoSan himself.Ā
ALSO, as JiPyeong getting ready with that white suit, and looking with a grin at DalMi at the event, I really donāt want a second lead syndrome please, I just ask for this. Let the main actors have their low but comfy relationship without a love triangle please.
