**_A great watch … worth it!_** _**WARNING**: Contains information others might consider as a spoiler._ **I. Story** _a. Episode stories_: The stories per episode were mostly good. Out of 16 episodes, I like the story of 9 episodes. _b. Series story_: From the title, "Start-Up" (or "Sandbox"), it gives the impression that it is primarily about starting up a business or about joining a, well, sandbox program. However, overarching story is more about [1] a love triangle and [2] sibling rivalry. The impression from the series title only takes tertiary importance. It would have been better if the importance was as follows: [1] sibling rivalry; [2] start-up/sandbox/business; and [3] love triangle. Regardless… the way the overarching stories were delivered and the choice of story per episode were enough to pull up the score for this rating. However, avoid introducing important facts and then never mentioning it again. For example, Ji Pyung and the sisters have met when they were kids. It was also weird that a bloodied person can pitch his company, that does not happen in real life. **II. Acting** Acting! This is where I had to give a low rating. There were too many crying scenes where the facial expression was neutral. It was obvious they were only "acting" instead of actually feeling and letting their emotions out. I'm a fan of Suzy but I have to mention this: relax more dur…
