Start-Up Week 4: An Idea Sparks Along

So, it's time for a bit of a random drop for Start-Up. So far, I don't know if I'm going take a momentary break from Kamen Rider because I'm currently exploring Netflix and the digital age for other stuff to watch. Also, Kamen Rider Saber has been receiving flak for trying to sell too many toys in too short a time. This week focuses on a bit of the love triangle of Ji Pyeong and Do San for Dal Mi. Ji Pyeong avoids Dal Mi. Meanwhile, Dal Mi's paternal grandmother Won Deok tries to help Dal Mi sort things out between her two possible suitors as they try to set up Samsam Tech.

The rivalry between the sisters is on. Du Jeong is still as materialistic as ever and you wonder if she's a filial granddaughter to Won Deok. Won Deok has her deteriorating eyesight which inspires a medical application for Samsam tech. Du Jeong is still as spiteful as ever when she considers teaching Dal Mi a lesson. However, this spitefulness of Du Jeong ends up backfiring when the new application by the still-struggling Samsam Tech starts to rise. The new app hits many downloads thus furthering the idea of the late father of the estranged sisters.

I was thinking about how the Sandbox idea was really taken from the late father of the estranged sisters. It seems that much of Dal Mi's dedication to her work is all because she's an affectionate, self-sufficient but emotionally a grandmother's girl. Good thing that her paternal grandmother Dal Mi wasn't overprotective of her and made her work. So, Dal Mi ends up where she now supports her grandmother but she's still emotionally way too attached to her paternal grandmother. These scenes still bring me tears because I still miss mine even after more than a decade.

About the love triangle - things can get complicated. Why does Ji Pyeong decide to hold back his feelings for Dal Mi? Does Dal Mi realize that the Do San who wrote to her is Ji Pyeong? Now that Do San is starting to accept who he is as the guy who doesn't "fit in" - what will happen next? I'm really thinking about it that it's somewhat predictable (based on the posters) that Dal Mi will choose Do San. But what will happen to Ji Pyeong the ideal guy after that?

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her. The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think. Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
