HIRAI MOMO
This drama doesn't deserve the hate it's getting
Watching this drama while it was still broadcasting is a curse. Seeing all the negative comments from the majority was like losing my appetite from eating a delicious meal. My greatest advice to people who are genuinely eager and curious to watch this drama is to stop reading reviews and start watching this drama earnestly. Seeing opinions from others will greatly influence your take on this drama, and it's best if you could view this drama in a much more objective way. I heard people liked how this drama created so much buzz for people to share their opinions excessively, but for me, it ruined it.
Start-up was honestly a very enjoyable drama, and I plan to rewatch this drama once I forget all the opinions that kept messing with how I felt about everything. Especially as an aspiring developer, this drama connected with me well. It filled my eyes with hope and aspirations for a future that could possibly be bright in a world full of darkness. This drama shows you that there's always light at the end of a tunnel, and this is exactly what I needed at this stage in my life. I've learned that even with ridiculously impossible circumstances, you won't know if you can overcome such obstacles unless you risk things and try to leap forward. This drama teaches you about reality. There's always a fine line between idealism and realism, and everyone is tasked to find that fine line. Dream big, but act within the scope of your limitations, then slowly build-up to take a step closer to your goals.
Besides what I've already said, the cast is just...perfect. I loved every single one of them and the characters they played. There were a lot of cute and relatable characters and I can't express enough how much I felt attached to some of them. Of the many things I think was good about this drama, the OST was just incredible.
Overall, this is a great drama that could've ended with a rating of 8.5 in my books. However, I tried to rationalize with my inner feelings and I decided to give it a very high rating. My 9.5 rating for this drama could still change someday depending if my standards change in the near future, but as of now, this drama deserves a 9.5.
Just stop reading more reviews. Whatever anyone says, this is still a high-profile drama that had an 8.7 rating before everyone started going ballistic.
Edit: I'm currently rating this drama 9.0
