Start-Up may not be everything I wanted it to be but it is surely a pleasant, feelgood ride. Sprinkled with sweetness and charming characters and relationships, it takes up the world of aspiring entrepreneurs as its backdrop. Also, thank you Show for introducing Kim Seon Ho to me!

I love Park Hye Run‘s dramas. For the uninformed, she has penned shows like Dream High (2011), I Hear Your Voice (2013), Pinocchio (2014) and While You Were Sleeping (2017).

Her newest drama, tvN’s Start-Up has her signature style and I’m already liking it a lot more than I expected. Continue reading →

The new tvN drama Start-Up interests me for that very reason. It is penned by Park Hye Ryun of shows like I Hear Your Voice, Pinocchio and Dream High. This is her third drama with Suzy as her last show While You Were Sleeping also starred her in the lead role. Continue reading →
