I really really loved Start-Up episode 14, surprising since it was a very slow episode on things happening but used the time to really give characters space to think, talk, and decide. Next week is the finale and I’m glad that not-a-love-triangle is finally done with, all that’s left is to see how and when Do San and Dal Mi get back together from the break that realistically didn’t need to happen but dramatically made sense for Do San to grow up and for Dal Mi to confirm her feelings for him weren’t transference from the letter writing days. The other two Sans got great story arcs as well that paid off in this episode, while In Jae remains the star of her own show that we will likely never see (her thought processes and regrets) but at least she made the right decision to go back to being a Seo so she could return to Grandma without feeling like she is not a member of that family. Ji Pyeong has fully embraced his oppa/mentor role with those around him, and I see that hyung reality one day happening with Do San as well. His chance meeting with Grandma really was the catalyst for everything that’s happened and I hope he finds his own happiness as his choices have brought Do San and Dal Mi their own.

U summed it perfectly. I was confused with ep14. But after reading your explanation it makes sense. Good insight on Injae’s story. It’s a shame we dont see her story much. Everyone blaming Dalmi and mom for not telling Injae about grandma’s condition. While it’s true, it’s also Injae’s decision who didn’t want to come back as well. I was confused why she didn’t want to join the family but maybe it’s the guilt because she abandoned her father’s name. She felt she didnt deserve to be there. Next week is the final. Wow can’t wait to say goodbye to this drama. Personally i love it despite it flaws here and there. But I don’t like the fanwars and the toxicity. *shivers* anyway, I’m glad i choose to watch this because i found my new fav actor none other than Nam Joohyuk. I can relate to Dosan’s story so much more than the others, so good job Joohyuk for bring this character to life. Hope he gets an award for this.
was that piggyback necessary??...cliche to the max ?
Also, who falls asleep sitting like that?
I feel bad for njh first school 2015 now start up where most people prefer the second lead to him. If i could give him advise is to stay away from dramas with love triangles.
I havent start watching start up yet, but I do sensing some people, not to say most of them, they preferred 2nd ML than the ML.
I'm curious to see which side I'll be when I'm watching it. Ha!
In School 2015, I didn't care about the fan wars, I liked NJH's character from the start and root for him to be with the FL.
Do san and Dai Mi’s piggy back supposed to be sweet. But I can’t feel the love, cos of my love for the 2nd lead. This is so frustrating.
Arf...
Dal-Mi's character is weirdly written. We always knew that the 3 San were good developpers but bad at business. For Dal-Mi, she wasn't good at anything... She was resilient and hardworking. Now, in 3 years, it looks she learnt more but still failed to be respected by her coworkers, had to be saved by Do-San,...
She's still the nice girl and not a CEO.
I wonder what brand of rose-tinted glasses Koala has been watching this show with. Gentle Monster? Swarovski? For a while now even the hardiest stans of both the drama and its actors have admitted its gone to the pits. Yet Koala harps on and on in every post about how much she loves the drama, its writer, the OTP, yada yada yada. Sounds like she's trying a little too hard to convince herself she still loves this trainwreck.
Ha, she just really really loves this show. Which is why she doesn't even post its lackluster ratings like she's done for so many other dramas. Speaking of which...
Part 1: 4.573%
Part 2: 5.255%
thia drama is the biggest F.....L....O....P on the hsitory of k drama. Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk have ruined this writer's career. shes not believable as CEO.
You guys must love this show too, bc every single comment section here you always post ratings, thing that the ones who are enjoying it don't care about. Koala can't even voice her own opinion on her own blog. Get a life!
@joanne ya its a flop like iotnbo and the king.. but stil watchable..
I absolutely adore this drama. So sad it will be ending this week.
I love this drama and every character, specially Da Mi and Do San, they grew up a lot since they knew each other, and about JP he's the one who reunited them and help Dal Mi without an agenda. The sister had become more human and I just want them all to be happy.
It's a beautiful story with beautiful characters.
I agree with Koala. I love this drama. Although I’m smitten with Kim Sweon Ho, I ship Dalmi and Do San. Jipeong had 3 years to make a move on Dalmi and he didn’t. He had his chance. Also, why did it take his AI assistant Young Sil to make him but Dalmi the jewelry?
Decided to watch the latest few episodes. Although, reading all the comments, I wasn’t sure whether to continue watching it anymore. But, loved them. Really liked that DS and DM made that journey to that remote place.
Loved how DS’s mom was cheering for him. His parents are really sweet.
Also, I don’t see the love triangle people have been complaining about. All I see is two people (DS & DM) in love and one sided love.
Anyways, excited for the last 2 episodes.
I wish i didn't read all the comments and all the fan war talk! Or how people think this drama was a flop. Seriously one of the better ones I've watched this year. Agreed the pace maybe slowed down a bit as I liked the pacing and dialogue at the beginning of the drama. But it is a Kdrama after all! Maybe I just like my flawed heroes! Tortured souls. Keen to see how this drama gets wrapped up.
