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?
