Thoughts on Start Up (2020)
This drama is by far one of the most poignant drama I have ever watched.
For starters, it's about decisions. The choice you make and the path you take. And I admit, I was so fascinated with Ji Pyeong's character because he never used his sob story to seek empathy from anyone and I really really rooted for him and Dal Mi together because I thought it would somehow lessen the sadness he carried in his heart for the longest time.
However I realized right at this moment that he doesn't exactly need a romantic kind of love and it didn't have to be Dal Mi because halmeoni is the one who gave him warmth and comforted his lonely scarred heart ever since he was a child.
Also, what I love about the end of this drama is how things ended in a good note. Especially for In Jae who has so much fire in her and I can't really help but be in awe by how competent she is. I really didn't see it coming--her helping Dal Mi to get back at her feet. In Jae's character is like a girl version of Ji Pyeong's. They were both hit by a storm but despite the storms that they've been through, they both came out as a better person in the end.
Moreover the friendship of the SamSan Tech boys is so remarkable. It was a friendship through thick and thin and I can't help but be really proud by how far they have come in this drama. It was like watching a child grow and become a fine person. Their characters really developed a lot after that 3 years.
As I've said before, I am a solid team Ji Pyeong at the beginning and I really didn't fancy Do San's character much because he was really sadness personified however as the story progresses, I realized that Do San's sadness should never be invalidated. Just because he let his sadness and all his issues bare doesn't mean that he should be condemned for it.
Do San's battle is always inside him. He was this guy with crushed self esteem and with none to offer but somehow managed to lift Dal Mi up and made everything possible for her. Do San is Dal Mi's number one believer and supporter and I think that meant everything for Dal Mi. It was amazing for Do San's part because he always seemed to become a better person whenever it's about Dal Mi.
Dal Mi's character represented the life of a start up business CEO. It was a rough road indeed but what's remarkable about her character is that she learned how to face the situation head on and rise up no matter how many times she stumbled and fall. She was an amazing character indeed. She dreamed big and achieved greater things despite the times she failed.
I realized the reason why Do San and Dal Mi are meant for each other--it was because Do San believed in her when no one else does. He was with her all throughout and never not even once even doubted her capabilities and I think that's something.
Maybe sometimes, being with someone and jumping with them together provides much greater comfort than being a sandbox that would watch out for you assuming that you will fall.
Anyhow, this drama is a really good one and it teaches so many values in different aspects of life.
