Follow Your Dream, But What Is Your Dream? | Start-Up Episode 11 & 12

I took a break from blogging for a few days due to busy schedule, so how's everyone going? 

Anyways, I came back to react to Start-Up's latest episodes. I honestly didn't like the turn of events in episode 11 that's why I waited for the 12th episode to do wonders for me and save me from retreating to watch the remaining episodes. Tbh, it affects me as well when they did not play Wendy's OST 'Two Words' yet in episode 11 and that made me really upset. I mean, we've waited so long for this OST to be played in the drama and we still didn't get glimpse of it in this episode. Thankfully they played it on episode 12 when Dal Mi was getting ready for her date with the birthday boy Do San. I was a bit relieved to hear Wendy's OST but I still thought that they could have at least played it in one of the most heartbreaking scenes. The impact that Wendy's OST could achieve for this drama has so much potential in conveying a heartbreaking scene and yet they didn't use that well so I'm very disappointed. However, I'd still say that episode 12 was a very good one with how the story progressed boosting more developments on the characters. 

In episode 12, we got to see how much of a sacrifice is needed in order to obtain something big. Do San was realizing his dreams with the help of Dal Mi and now he's offered something huge for his career. In the case of Do San here, he was not ready for the consequences of reaching out to something big because all along he was nurtured in his own comfort zone. He's been curling into his own bubble that there weren't any improvements to his poor peers and and outlook of what he's capable of. Dal Mi, despite being left all alone, knew that Do San has to step up and continue to better himself by venturing out of his comfort zones and hone his talents even more. 

Han Ji Pyeong, Nam Do San and Seo Dal Mi Giving Best Life Advice In Start-Up Episode 6

Seo Dal Mi is finally taking her first step as the CEO of Samsan Tech as she takes control of her people and it's all thanks to their mentor. Ji Pyeong's words always have been truthful and pierce straight to the heart, he would really knock some sense to anyone's being. I like his strong character like that, always straight to the point and it doesn't matter if the other's offended or not. He's like a reminder that not all people will sugarcoat their words for you to be complacent on your current state, he'd throw you honest words and it's up to you if you'll take it personally or take it as a constructive criticism and work on yourself. Here's where Do San's advice of filtering noise/words will be best used at. Just because someone gave their two cents of opinion or advice to you doesn't mean that you'll have to absorb everything like a sponge. You're not as worthless and brainless as that, right? You have to filter out everything and absorb only the ones that worked for you. Dal Mi's actions were the best representation of that! She took Ji Pyeong's harsh advice and started taking control of her people. But she did not confide to his advice of making the CEO to have the biggest stock shares rather she pushed through with giving it to Do San instead. Hell! That's so badass because it worked! Ji Pyeong got no words for her after that. Dang, I really love this drama's characters! They all give you important lessons applicable not only for start-up businesses but life in general. This is seriously a superb drama, the best so far of 2020 for me! Truly inspiring!
