ASIAN KOREAN DRAMA *THREAD 22*

[rondashie]

The writers did Start-Up dirty. What happened to the last 3 episodes lol andaming bad reviews and true enough, it was also bad for me  . They really had to make Do San so unlikeable that you'll have to root for the second male lead.

There are still 4 episodes remaining, sana maredeem. Sobrang strong ng first 8 eps e.

^I didn't feel that way. Probably because wala akong bias on any of the actors. I just like the story and how it is developing.

Thanks swtgrl_bee! Didn't know it's Sat and Sun. Now waiting for next week's!

[rondashie]

Oh lol I don't have any biases. The recent episodes are just poorly written, especially for Do San. Also don't understand why In Jae was promoted as a main character but hardly any exposure and development kahit episode 12 na. Mas marami pang exposure yung supporting casts.

Surely, they'll have something set up for her as a plot device na lang for Dal Mi now that they'll be closely working together. I hope they end this good. Wasn't a fan of Suzy's acting in previous dramas but she shut me up this time.

[i_miss_sleep]

^Oh I thought you have biases on the actors since your review is mostly based on their exposure/appearances than the story. I am not a fan of Suzy (I only saw her in this and Vagabond) but I think her acting here is spot on.

Hmmm that was a one time observation for In Jae.

The rest of my observations were on how the characters were developed as of episode 12. They spent much time on Ji Pyeong's backstory that made people love him, cry with him, hate him etc. that they kind of forgot the others. My absolute favorite are the scenes with grandma and good boy. Do San's character development on the other hand......... well there's hardly any.

They still have 4 episodes left and they will do IT.

[i_miss_sleep]

^that's what got me hooked - the scenes with the grandmother. Episode 1 and it got me tearing up. Hayy...huwag naman sana patayin sa ending si lola at baka humagulgol pa ako! 

[swtgrl_bee]

Yes sis i_miss_sleep, isa sa mga reason bakit super masaya ang weekend ko. As in super duper! Love love love the story.

May nakakaalam anong shade yung Lancome lippie na gamit ni Suzy sa episode 12? 

[i_miss_sleep]

^hahaha...sis, may specific episode talaga ha? tried to google and found this. Pero episode 7 daw ito:

I'm really enjoying Hyori's Bed and Breakfast. Hyori is still so pretty and kayang lumaban kay IU and Yoona kung katawan and skin ang pag-uusapan. I want to own a property as big as hers! Ang sarap siguro gumising araw-araw sa ganung environment. I also have an ugly crush on her hubby

Hays buti na lang 2 eps a week ang Startup. Mas gusto ko si  Han Ji-Pyeong  para sa babae pero mukhang talo manok ko. x2 ko ring pinanuod yung ad na shinoot nila na parang tang@ pero nakakatawa, cute ni Won In-Jae ..

I dont know kung nabanggit na itong show pero i highly recommend Fix You, tungkol siya sa mental health pero di naman siya mabigat as in drama/tragedy - mas romantic comedy pa nga siya. Nasa Ep 13-14 na ako ang so far gusto ko pa rin yung takbo ng story.

Pinakagusto ko sa Start-Up relationship ni Good Boy and halmeoni.  Di ako masyadong na-hook sa romantic angle.

Same here. Naiyak ako nung nalaman ni Good Boy yung situation ni Lola

Okay anlala ng bardagulan sa facebook and twitter about HJP vs NDS nakakaloka?  grabe yung iba makapagtanggol sa mga fictional characters, it's just a TV show! Hahaha but I get why there's so much talk between the two. I think maybe because no one anticipated the second male lead will have that same attention (or probably even more) than the male lead himself, e may solid fanbase si Nam Joo Hyuk dito.

2 episodes left and there are still some loose ends pa, hope they give the ending justice! Parang mas gusto ko pa na walang makatuluyan si Dalmi and just be an independent woman who thrived in a start-up company without relying from his boys. But I'm almost sure that it will be a DoDal endgame.

[swtgrl_bee]

Ako Team Dalmi all the way. Queen Elsa lang ang peg ganun.  Grabe affected na nga daw si Nam Joo-hyuk dahil sa pang babash sa character niya.

Mga sisses, ano ba yung same ng takbo ng story ng Start-Up? Itaewon Class ba? Naghahanap ako ng next ko panoodin.

[i_miss_sleep]

^sis, in what aspect ba yung ibig mong sabihin ng 'same'? Napanood mo na Do do Sol Sol? In a way same siya sa Start-up...may Team AB and Team AC Gusto ko yung takbo ng story. Pero nasa episode 8 pa lang ako so don't shoot me kung di pala maganda sa huli

[rondashie]

Mga sisses, ano ba yung same ng takbo ng story ng Start-Up? Itaewon Class ba? Naghahanap ako ng next ko panoodin.

Yeah Itaewon Class medyo same in the sense na success story of a business. May love triangle din pero hindi siya amplified dito at hindi siya yung focus. Medyo telenovela-ish ang ganap dito na parang 'babangon ako at dudurugin ka' trope.

[drag0nfly]

A friend forwarded the link to that FB group and sorry, pero ang OA lang nung mga commenters dun.

@swtgrl_bee - Strongest Deliveryman same plot din of the underdog's rise to success, may romantic angle din. Andun din si Kim Seon-ho pero di ko sya agad naalala when I read up on his past work.

[swtgrl_bee]

Thank you sisses. Watch ko yan mga suggestions niyo. Yay! Hindi ko kasi kaya sabay sabay talaga since nawawala ako sa hulog kapag na hohook ako kaya pwede lang ako 1 series at a time! LOL. Since matatapos na itong si Start-Up this weekend kailangan ko na ng kasunod. 

[bratty]

Nalilito ako sa Elegant Friends... parang Sky Castle ang pinapanood ko. hehe

[rondashie]

Watched the first 3 episodes of The Penthouse. It's ridiculously campy and crazy. Sky Castle on acid. Pang shock value type of drama. All characters are so annoying (even the mom and daughter leads) except for one. Grabe highblood ko sa show na to 

I don't think I'll continue watching this show, medyo pangit ng writing at artehan nila. Parang ambilis bilis ng pacing ng story, tapos the producers are making this into 3 seasons pala.
