Many of our lurkers have explained what “Demo Day” meant. Thank you, @Diane, @Ayet, and @JM. But because I like to file things away neatly, I’m recapping what was said — and not said — on Demo Day. There were other people demo-ing that day besides Dosan and JP. There was Chunsan, for example. He didn’t […]
Start-Up: Ep 10 On Stalking and Confessing
I don’t know how fangirls define stalking in their fantasy world but stalking in my world must have all these three elements: 1. stalking conduct (which includes, but is not limited to following another person, calling or texting the other person on the phone, contacting the other person on social media, and waiting at the […]
Start-Up: Ep 9 To Be Fair…
or not to be fair, that’s the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer Halmeoni’s outrageous demand Or to take arms against Dosan And by opposing, win Dalmi’s love. With my apologies to Shakespeare and Sir Kenneth Branagh. lol. This is the first of two parts. The second part will have to […]
Start-Up: Ep 9: On Fireworks and Wrong Turns
What did he mean by the fireworks? He and the guys were discussing how he was going to appease his father. Youngsan: What will you tell him? Chulsan: You should rehearse what you’re going to say. We’ll help you. Dosan: Okay. (starts rehearsing) I’m sorry I lied to you, Dad. I’m not good enough to […]
Start-Up: On Dosan’s Cheating – Work in Progress
Give me time. I’ll finish this after breakfast. ********************* This is precisely why I disallowed fangirls on my blog: If you go to other drama sites right now, they’ve been hijacked and transformed into a virtual wailing wall for JP’s fangirls to whine about his cruel fate ad nauseum. (Wait. I’ll also defend him later…when I […]

Start-Up: Ep 8 The Meaning of Backup, Part 2
Okay, where was I? Backups. 1. Dalmi fixed Dosan’s backpack. I’m sure nobody will get this one. lol. Dosan fixed Dalmi’s back first, then Dalmi zipped up Dosan’s backpack while they were waiting for the elevator. That means she watches his back. She looks out for him. She’s his backup protection. Saha: Why bother back-up […]
Start-Up: Ep 8 The Meaning of Backup, Part 1
Shall we play “I Spy”? Why don’t you list the different times you saw something “backed up” in this episode before reading my post? Then we can compare notes. For now, I’ll give you five different usages of “backup.” 1.Youngsan backed up the files. In this instance, to backup files means to copy a computer […]
Start-Up: Eps 7 & 8 Titles and Traitor??
Hiro90, a CS major, emailed me to share this information: At the beginning of ep 8, we see YongSan stayed behind after everyone had left under the excuse of backing up the project’s source code while ominous background music and narrations were played. Well, what he did is actually backing up the project’s source code […]
Start-Up: On Lying, Part 2
I already gave you two ways of looking at lies. Start-Up: Ep 6 On Lying, Part 1 I’ll give you a couple more. The reason I’m doing this is so we, Bitches can see that lies aren’t the same, and judge them according to the situation or context in which they were said. Let’s all […]

Start-Up: Ep 6 On Lying, Part 1
I visited other sites yesterday and saw a fair amount of outrage and pearl-clutching going on because Dosan lied on behalf of JP. I’m not going to talk about lying from the legal perspective since none of the characters testified under oath and committed perjury. I’m not going to talk about lying from an ethical […]
Start-Up: Ep 6 The Key Man
I wrote a lot. Don’t skip Part C. A. Who’s the Key Man? That’s the title of this episode, “Key Man” and I believe the writer put out several ways to interpret this. This is the definition: “A person who plays a key role in decision-making in an organization.” JP was the first one to […]
Start-Up: Episode 5
This will be brief because I still have to watch Episode 6. Just a handful of notables: 1. The hands I told you that hands were significant, didn’t I? In this episode, the writer tells us more about this hand metaphor. Chulsan: Did she say anything about you? Dosan: My hands. Just my hands nothing […]
