Start-Up: Ep 15 Elevator Speech (again)

The title of Episode 14 was “Elevator Speech” which was defined as “a brief, persuasive speech during an elevator ride.” To me, Dosan’s speech to Dalmi inside the elevator in Ep 15 was a continuation of Ep 14’s theme. He gave Dalmi his own elevator speech. And he was prompted by the sight of the […]

Start-Up: Hall of Fame/Shame

There’s a Hall of Fame. Then there’s also the Hall of Shame. Here are some of the most egregious tweets that I’ve seen on Dosan. I won’t mention their twitter handles because I don’t want you searching for them and harassing them. Seriously, don’t.  I’m posting them here so next time, you see tweets like […]

There’s no contradiction there. Let’s start with the context: 1. It started with the baseball. Netflix Ep 12 at 44:01. Dosan and his family […]

They said that Dosan will be Dalmi’s partner on the business side, while Jipyeong will be Dalmi’s partner on the Love side. Knowing that […]

Start-Up: Ep 16 Scale Up, Part 2

Scale-Up: The expansion of a business There are several reasons I like the final episode. One, we had our emotional payoff when Dalmi and Dosan became a couple again. Being a gentleman, he let Dalmi’s family know first that he was back in Dalmi’s life before he announced to their colleagues that he intended to […]
