Start-Up (Korean Drama): cheezy but well-researched

• mgh2 6y ago
  From screenwriting POV, it is well written and executed (so far ep.6), based on screenplay elements. 8.1 on imdb: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12867810/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12867810/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Details to pay attention: 1. Premise- 1st 15 minute hook: Money & image, vs. family. Two philosophy fights: Truth vs. lie. Establishes the motivations of main characters in beginning. 2. Characters- Persona representations of real world roles were well researched: The father who risks family stability/corporate unhappiness to pursue a startup, the orphan who became angel/VC investor, rich/connected vs. poor/bootstrap founder, the math genius AI founder, the looked-down high schooler/univ. dropout CEO, trend-spotting quality of a CEO, the perpetual deceived contract worker in a corporation due to lack of qualifications, the stuck-up ivy-league, the underdog coders vs MIT engineers, the startup accelerator (even has Y combinator colors) 3. Jargon- Series is nice enough to explain the common terms for viewers non-technically (if they chose to learn): cold-call, investment round, angel, keyman, hackathon, bug, due diligence, startup/friends/family analogy, machine learning, AI, etc. Some not explained: burn-rate, conversion rate, ANN, loss function, ransomware... 4. Hyped elements- also common on startup world: “Follow your dreams”, “change the world”, anyone can try without education/skills mentality. Possible but not the norm, low probability
