The Story
Welcome to my Start-Up – Unspoiled Review. Sandbox is a program designed to help start-up IT companies get their businesses of the ground. Participants are chosen through a rigorous competition. Seol Dal Mi is a young woman who dreams of establishing her own successful company. She shows up at Sandbox by herself and builds a team who will help her try to achieve her dream and hopefully find their own success along the way. As the community at Sandbox begins to take shape, Dal Mi finds that she is surrounded by people who share a piece of her past.
Should I Watch
Start-Up is a good romantic drama. With a unique storyline and some interesting character backstories, I expect it to make plenty of top drama lists for this year. It does a good job of showing the world of computer technology and start-up businesses without digging too far into the technicalities of it all, and the message of “Follow Your Dreams” is inspiring. As long as you enjoy the romance genre, there aren’t a lot of reasons I wouldn’t recommend it, but the romance really takes the focus away from any in-depth character development or side stories. I didn’t rate it as highly as I thought I might because, for me, it was just a nice, sweet story that I enjoyed watching, but it didn’t leave much of a lasting impression. I give Start-Up an 8 out of 10 ramen.

Thank you for the review. It will save me valuable viewing time as I can put it lower in my list. Right now I need a WOW drama. But it will be on my list when I need a comfort drama. Thanks
Thanks Kathryn. While Start-Up isn’t a bad drama, it definitely wouldn’t go into my WOW list! There are so many great dramas out there. Weeding through it all can be a challenge. This is a good time to be looking since people are releasing their favorites of the year lists. I’m planning mine right now! I hope to have it out in the next week or so.
