One thing about Start up people didn't realise is it was actually realistic The way story progressed was absolutely same as reality The cluelessness, the unfair consequences, wrong decisions of leads etc were realistic That's actually how life works. If we keep the characters love stories aside the show was absolutely great when compared to realistic consequences and situation while working in a start up. If we logically discuss about the show considering the struggles of each character which definitely should also be getting the same amount of recognition as their relationship status the show actually did them justice. The love story half was a little disappointing but lets be honest You guys are complaining as though you never witnessed Ji hoo getting rejected by Jan Di for a guy like Go Joon Pyo!
HJP did deserve better but not to ignore the fact that Nam Do San faced her while HJP gave up for 15 years, he chose her who is apparently a rookie over her sister who obviously has more experience than her. He comforted her in middle of chaos and guided her too. HJP didn't really do that. He stood from far and observed and was there ryt after storm had passed. It makes a differencs when u stay during that moment.
Overall i think show was great. Great because it was realistic and because it dared to show more reality based emotions rather than just giving audience the same traditional story progression.
