My weekends are so boring since FOS ended, and I’m really considering picking up Start-Up based on Mr. Dimple’s charms alone. It’s been so long since I last saw him on screen. I do like the rest of the cast (minus Suzy and Kang Hana bc tbh I find them dull), but I’m also not *that* interested in the plot.

It’s kind of that time of the year where I want a slow, warm melo type of show but there’s none of that right now 😭

    the real question though is, do I want to let the love triangle break my heart?

    Dimples is adorable and in a role perfect for him. I’m so happy I started watching and I had a few of the same misgivings as you (one of the two actresses but she’s also in a role that suits her – eccentric but dull imo).

    I think the relationship between the characters is really heart warming – worth a shot! Kim Seon-Ho’s relationship with the other characters should be moving enough to feel less hurt about the love triangle. Hehe.. but that’s just my opinion.

    I feel you!! I haven’t watched anything since FoS2 and can’t seem to pick anything up 😭. I’m loving Dimples on 2N1D, but it might not be enough for me right now to pick up Start-Up. I kind of want to watch something like I’ll Find You When The Weather Is Nice, or whatever title it had. I might just put Kyu’s song on repeat. Hope you fInd something to watch soon!!😊

      Watch DDSSLLS which is like a technicolor and light hearted version of ‘Weather’. A breezy small town and its folks and its new immigrants – I wish to visit the city (Mokpo) where it’s shot one day.

    I wish Mr. Dimples was not the second lead. >.<

    If you haven’t watched Do You Like Brahms, it’s got a very warm melo vibe.. the show was beautiful from beginning to end. Like a nice warm cup of tea on a cold day.

    Sorry for spamming! I suddenly thought of a perfect healing drama. Mystic Pop Up Bar – BTOB’s Yook Sungjae is in it.. And Hwang Jum Eum stars in it too but she’s not screechy here. I really enjoyed this drama.

      Yes, yes and yes.
      Probably one of the best dramas of this year.
      Not a single minute wasted. Sweet, funny, heartfelt, a beautiful story and perfect chemistry among the three leads.
      I began watching because it was only 12 episodes and I cried when it ended.

        Agree! The family they formed between the three of them was just <3 and the stories each episode brought was just such a good feeling!

    I started Startup but found Dimples and grandma to be the only thing I like….. sigh. Not sure if I should stay or drop.

    On the other hand, DDSSLLS might be the year-end warmer you look for. These are the two dramas I took on after the FoS slump. DD was the one I never intended to watch (because of Go Ara) but when you get to the point of rather rewatching DD than starting a new episode of Startup, I know where my heart belongs.

      It is also funny – or schizo – to watch these two dramas in parallel when Suzy’s dad plays a suitor of Go Ara. And Lee Jae-wook’s horrible mum is the wise entrepreneur who set up the sandbox!!!
