I really love this show and so I finished watching everything in just ten days! Still, a single episode is not enough to express everything I want to say so I'm doing two takes for Start-Up and this might be the format for all K-dramas we are going to watch in the future. So this is the first take and I won't say anything about the leads just yet. I wanted to put focus on the characters that don't really get talked about a lot. Check out the full show notes below for more details.
00:00 monologue, introduction, initial impression about the show
05:35 commentary begins here
07:20 commentary on supporting characters: Cheonho (Dosan's cousin)
10:50 Saha, the lawyer turned designer
