Dal Mi had mixed feelings about the acquisition, the lies she was told, and her own future and chose to end things with Do San. Start-up aired its last episode this weekend. While fans were prepared for Seo Dal to choose Mi Nam Do San over Han Ji Pyeong, the last few episodes didn’t do the characters justice. Fans question the character of Do-san and seem to want Dal-mi and Han Ji-pyeong.
But this goes back to the issue of creative control and how stories should not be led by fans, but by the author’s goals.. Stories don’t have to support fans’ views, and that’s the beauty of series; they can go in any direction. I’ve seen some fans who wanted a “happier ending for Han Ji-pyeong”. Sometimes stories are meant to be tragic and unfair.
But start-up wasn’t just about love and heartbreak; it was about entrepreneurial flair, family, friends and unity, it captured everything well. In-jae finally sums up the courage and meets Mrs. Choi. This is a groundbreaking moment as Ms. Choi can’t believe it’s her granddaughter. In-jae apologizes for taking as long as Ms. Choi approaches her to.
Both women sob into each other’s arms. In-jae walks in and shows the family the paperwork that confirms that she is now part of the family. For the first time since childhood, she is Seo In-jae again. She admits she wanted to return earlier but she was ashamed of her connection with Won. Compare this to episode 1 and previous moments, this is a beautiful scene.
A broken marriage has split a family, and now it’s back together. Ms. Choi is happy that it is back where it should be. Again, if anything, Start-Up Episode 16 is almost Mrs. Chois episode. It appears that the company has grown exponentially.
Through photos distributed on Dal Mi and Do San’s desk, we learn that they got married and won the tender for the self-driving car. Dal Mi’s family have all been hooking up well, and it’s been revealed that Sa Ha revealed that she’s dating Chul San. Both Nam Do San and Han Ji Pyeong are known for liking Seo Dal Mi in different ways. In episode 16, Nam Do San is asked to propose to Seo Dal Mi (Bae Suzy) and live a happy life.
On the other hand, Han Ji Pyeong decided to invest in a company that houses orphaned children. It highlights the problems that youth with privilege have, point to the same issues as people who don’t have the same privilege, and the brilliant parallel is drawn with Seo Dal-Mi and her sister Won In-jae.. The more time In-jae spends with Dal-mi, the more she realizes how much she loved being part of the family and so she decides to officially return to them as Seo In-jae. With passing hints of Ji Pyeong spending vacation at Dal Mi’s home, suggesting the family’s growing bond, I wondered if thoughts about Ji Pyeong’s attraction led to Dal Mi’s change in behavior towards him.
Yoon Seon-hak wants Han Ji-pyeong to take the lead, but due to his feelings, he wants Dong-cheon to take over the reign instead. Viewers also suspect that the start-up story actually focuses on Han Ji Pyeong and Seo Dal Mi’s grandmother, Choi Won Deok (Kim Hae Sook). She says she is thankful for the opportunities and shows the certificate authorizing her name change back to Seo In Jae. Han Ji-pyeong meets Do-san privately and asks for a favor. He tells him that Yoon Seon-hak wants to invest in Cheongmyeong and asks if he wants to accept him.
Kim Seon Ho and Han Ji Pyeong are currently in the top 10 of Naver and Kim Seon Ho Instagram followers have drastically risen to three million followers. Yoon Seon-hak tells her she’s interested in investing after following Samsan Tech and the sisters for a long time. From the beginning, the interaction between Han Ji Pyeong and Seo Dal Mi’s grandmother, who has existed since young Han Ji Pyeong, has developed an interesting story. In the 15. episode unfolded a series of events that led to the reunion of Seo Dal Mi (Suzy) and Nam Do San (Nam Joo Hyuk).
Netizens not only praised Han Ji Pyeong’s character but also appreciated Kim Seon Ho’s successful acting that made viewers feel emotional. Speaking of the show as a whole: Do-san as a character was less concrete than the second lead role in the show Han Ji-pyeong (Kim Seon-ho). In the episode, Han Ji Pyeong broke up with Kim Seon Ho from the love triangle and made Suzy’s Seo Dal Mi and Nam Joo Hyuk’s Nam Do San get back together.
