'Start-Up' Episode 15: Will In-jae's stepdad attack Dal-mi, Do-san again? Ji-pyeong seems to have moved on
'Start-Up' Episode 15 will tell us how Nam Do-san (Nam Joo-hyuk), Seo Dal-mi (Bae Suzy) and Han Ji-pyeong's (Kim Seon-ho) relationship will pan out in the face of Do-san and Dal-mi working together again. At the end of episode 14, Dal-mi had managed to convince Do-san to work with her on the self-driving car after the developers that she had worked with had quit. He is convinced at the end, but he doesn't want to work for Dal-mi or her sister, but he wants to buy out In-jae's portion of the shares and work on it with Dal-mi. This is something that Ji-pyeong had also advised Yong-san of, considering how Do-san, Yong-san and Chul-san were all developers first and business people later.
The last scene in the episode also showed how Dal-mi and Do-san sit together to get their permit for their self-driving car. They look quite confident about getting the permit, however, are they being careless again? The promo of episode 15 sees how Director of Morning AI Mr Won, In-jae's stepfather, is planning on exacting revenge from Seo Dal-mi after she used a recording of both Mr Won and his son treating young developers badly. Considering how Dal-mi and Do-san are direct competitors to Morning AI's team that is also developing self-driving cars, we are sure that they are a lot more desperate to bring Dal-mi's company down.
At the same time, it also seems that the two companies would be competing with each other to get their bids approved for their self-driving cars. The episode will also see Ji-pyeong give Do-san a piece of very important advice. He tells Do-san to stop feeling insecure and comparing himself to Ji-pyeong all the time. He tells Do-san to look at Dal-mi without remembering Ji-pyeong and this is after Do-san tells him that the only thing Dal-mi had liked about him was his hands. Of course, he doesn't know the truth behind why she said that about his hands, so he doesn't think of it as too much, so when he approaches Dal-mi again and asks her if she likes him and why she likes him, we wonder how she will react to the same. Will she tell the truth about her feelings or would she yet again give up on him for his own benefit? We will have to see how the finale week would tie things up.
'Start-Up' will air on tvN on Saturdays and Sundays at 9 pm KST, and can be streamed on Netflix in the US.
