Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.com Today, we'll be discussing Episode 14 of Start-Up, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Bae Suzy as Seo Dal-mi, Nam Joo Hyuk as Nam Do San, Kim Seon Ho as Han Ji Pyeong, Kang Han Na as Won In Jae, and Kim Hae Sook as Choi Won Deok. We discuss: The songs we featured during the recap: My Dear Love by Suzy, Merry Go Round by Kim Dong Hyeok, Tears of Piano by Park Sejun Listener Jeff's comment about Yong San's revenge arc — was it a red herring, and why the storyline ultimately became more about Han Ji Pyeong's growth than actual danger. Why this episode is titled “Elevator Speech” - the literal and emotional elevator pitches that change minds in under a minute, especially SDM's desperate appeal to Do San. Seo Dal Mi's humiliation spiral: the hacked company, no back-ups, spilled coffee, pride, and why she couldn't take Do San's calls after he saved her company. Han Ji Pyeong's complicated tenderness — hiding Dal Mi under the desk, switching from “Dal-mi-shi” to “Seo 대표님,” threatening Do San in the elevator, then immediately confessing the truth. Do San's breaking point: the returned baseball from Park Chan Ho, his father's quiet wisdom, the five-hour bike ride to the cabin, and the symbolism of throwing something away that you cannot forget. The full-circle moment: Dal Mi once begged to be CEO at the hackathon; now she's begging the Samsan Tech trio to join CheongMyeong; this time, desperation wins. Yong San's maturity arc — seeking out honest criticism from Ji Pyeong, apologizing for blaming him for his brother's death, and asking the fundamental question: do we want to code or run a company? Chairman Yoon's sharp reminder that investors who fund companies without business plans are “garbage,” and a discussion of due diligence and startup discipline. The sisters' evolving relationship: Dal Mi accidentally calling In Jae “언니” before correcting herself to “대표님,” and In Jae filing paperwork to change her name back to Seo after realizing her grandmother's eyesight is failing. Words that wound: from Ji Pyeong's harsh Demo Day critique to Dal Mi's breakup lines — “You're not the one I loved” — and how language shapes identity and destiny in this episode. The epic piggyback ride across the land bridge, the bandana wrapped around Dal Mi's scraped knee, the wrist grab, hair touches, and that meaningful head-rest while she sleeps. What we're watching now: Summer Strike, While You Were Sleeping (a mini Start-Up reunion!), The Art of Sarah starring Shin Hye Sun, and narrowing down contenders for Season 14 — including Signal, My Mister, Resident Playbook (or maybe Hospital Playlist!), Our Unwritten Seoul, and more.

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.com Today, we'll be discussing Episode 13 of Start-Up, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Bae Suzy as Seo Dal-mi, Nam Joo Hyuk as Nam Do San, Kim Seon Ho as Han Ji Pyeong, Kang Han Na as Won In Jae, and Kim Hae Sook as Choi Won Deok. We discuss: The songs we featured during the recap: Dream by Jamie, Ransomware by Kim Dong Hyeok, Remind by Park Sejun Joanna's epic night at the TWICE concert at Capital One Arena — 21,000 fans, multi-generational crowds, and how “Takedown” from KPop Demon Hunters is bringing TWICE to new audiences in the U.S. The meaning of the episode title “Comfort Zone” and how it perfectly captures Han Ji Pyeong's three-year stalemate with Seo Dal Mi. Ji Pyeong's awkward confession while making skewers, why saying “I want to be the first person you think of” wasn't quite enough, and whether jewelry is a bold romantic move or a panicked leap out of the friend zone. Yeong Sil's iconic baseball analogy — “Two outs in the bottom of the ninth and a full count” — and why it may be the motivational speech Ji Pyeong needed to finally swing the bat. Nam Do San's three years in Silicon Valley: success, stock options, Napa wine, yachts on the Bay… and whether coding became his emotional safe haven after heartbreak. The ransomware attack on CheongMyeong Company — port 22, SSH vulnerabilities, decryption keys, and whether finding the key was even remotely realistic (thank you to our cybersecurity friends for weighing in!). The thrill of problem-solving: why Do San says he hasn't felt this alive in years — and whether returning to Korea means stepping out of his own comfort zone. The complicated dynamic between the sisters as Dal Mi (now CEO of CheongMyeong) and In Jae (대표님) maintain strict professionalism at work while still struggling to reconnect personally — especially around Chuseok. Han Ji Pyeong's heartbreaking timing yet again — arriving just after Do San saves the company — and why Dal Mi hesitated to call him during the crisis. The bromance vote over street skewers and tteokbokki outside Sandbox — and the emotional moment when the three friends decide to stay in Korea together. Our favorite lines: – “Two outs in the bottom of the ninth and a full count.” – “Don't throw a pebble into a calm lake.” At the end of the episode, Ji Pyeong confronts Do San in the elevator, gift in pocket, promotion title acknowledged (상무님!), and the rivalry officially reignites. Joanna's interview with real-life venture capitalist Tim McLoughlin of Cofounders Capital — decision-making under uncertainty, making peace with imperfect data, and why looking backward can slow you down. Next week, we recap and analyze Episode 14 of Start-Up and begin narrowing down our choice for Season 14. Send us your recommendations!

Finding Mr. Perfect: K-Drama, Pop Culture, Romance, and Race (Rutgers UP, 2025) by Dr. Min Joo Lee explores the romantic relationships between Korean men and women who were inspired by romantic Korean televisual depictions of Korean masculinity to travel to Korea as tourists. Dr. Lee argues that disparate racialized erotic desires of Korean pop culture fans, foreign tourists to Korea, Korean men, and the Korean nation converge to configure the interracial and transnational relationships between these tourists and Korean men. Lee observes how racial prejudices are developed and manifested through interracial and transnational intimate desires and encounters. This book is the first to examine the interracial relationships between Hallyu tourists and Korean men. Furthermore, it is the first to analyze Korea as a popular romance tourist destination for heterosexual women. Finding Mr. Perfect illuminates South Korean popular culture's transnational fandom and tourism as a global phenomenon where fantasies and realities converge to have a tangible impact on individual lives. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dr. Lee argues that disparate racialized erotic desires of Korean pop culture fans, foreign tourists to Korea, Korean men, and the Korean nation converge to configure the interracial and transnational relationships between these tourists and Korean men. Lee observes how racial prejudices are developed and manifested through interracial and transnational intimate desires and encounters. This book is the first to examine the interracial relationships between Hallyu tourists and Korean men. Furthermore, it is the first to analyze Korea as a popular romance tourist destination for heterosexual women. Finding Mr. Perfect illuminates South Korean popular culture's transnational fandom and tourism as a global phenomenon where fantasies and realities converge to have a tangible impact on individual lives. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Characters that pretty much check every box (and are completely unrealistic but who cares). One episode and you will be invested and hitting that "play next" button until it's embarrassingly late (or early :p).

There's an unspoken hierarchy in TV here where romance is tolerated as a subplot but rarely trusted to carry a series. Why do you think American platforms are comfortable betting hundreds of millions on crime, fantasy, and superheroes but get nervous about a straightforward love story?

Please, for the love of the highest grossing genre in publishing, hear us out as to why we need to follow the K-Drama model and adapt more romance novels for the small screen.Books Mentioned on This EpisodeRaiders of the Lost Heart by Jo SeguraHamartia by Scarlett DrakeA Night To Surrender by Tessa DareI Love You Like it's 1999 by AJ PinePlaying For Her Heart by Megan EricksonThe E.M.M.A. Effect by Lia RileyReady to download your first audiobook?

MCU star (?) Simu Liu is talking about race again, and is complaining about the lack of roles for Asian actors in Hollywood. While this might be true, I'm more inclined to think the phone isn't ringing because he takes shots at Hollywood and past and present employers. I'm just saying.Outside of Hollywood, Asian entertainment is probably the most popular its ever been globally, with Anime, KPop and KDrama destroying records. Maybe that doesn't count?

We're back at it with our annual K-Drama Draft episode. This year, we're switching it up and assembling a dream cast, including a writer/director and an OST performer. In addition to my usual co-hosts, Jennifer and Nadira, we're bringing back the PodMother herself, Judy! If you haven't heard my origin story, Judy and her pod partner, Linda, were the inspiration for this podcast in 2021. The four of us had fun picking actors we would love to see in a drama together, with some picks being questioned more than others. Special thanks to Judy, who you can listen to at K-Drama My Eyes out, and follow @kdramamyeyesout on social media. Congrats on 9 years!  Thanks as usual to my day-1 podcast friends Nadira and Jennifer, I hope we're still doing this years from now too! Our Theme: “Super Happy J-Pop Fun-Time” by Prismic Studios was arranged and performed by @invictusquartet  As I always mention, you can write to us at: infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com, and please follow us on Instagram and Facebook @infatuasianpodcast  Please follow us wherever you get your podcasts.  We could use your ratings and reviews over at Apple.
