Start-Up: Ep 10 Demo Day, Part 1

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: 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 […]

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.

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 […]
