In a year like 2020, 'Start-up' was a drama that gave me a reason to pass a week waiting for a new episode.
It had my favorite casts each with unique individual characters. It's true that the story didn't end with what many expected but I was both happy and satisfied with clean beautiful happy ending. It was the type of drama where I found all kinds of emotions. I laughed and cried, hated and fell in love, etc. along with the characters. I also realized how lucky I am to live my life with not much hardships as many others out there. I rode the swing of emotions throughout the last two months.
Seo Dal Mi was a character that I loved and admired from the beginning till end. She had to go through many ups and downs throughout her life and at many times I felt life was too unfair and cruel to her. But she was a strong, resilient person who overcame those hardships. Nam Do San and Han Ji Pyeong were two opposite polar characters who had their own share of moments, stories, experience, sufferings and grew up for the better throughout the story. Seo In-jae didn't have that much of spotlight but I loved the way she paved her way throughout the story.
Grandma Choi Won-Deok is someone we all need in our life. She was the epitome of kindness, forgiveness, joy and more.
Forgiveness is something that is strongly mirrored in this drama. 'Start-up' teaches that life is too short to hate someone, so forgive them and move on with your life happily.
I was happy to watch 'Start-Up' and I hope to find more youth promising and optimistic drama in the future.
Thank you.
