I’ve always been in Team Dosan these whole time (while low-key rooting for Jipyeong too), but Episode 7 just officially changed the game for me. I’m all for Jipyeong and Dalmi now.

Honestly the 2nd lead having this strong of a backstory is just torturing. #StartUp

#theory I’ve got a feeling that what happens next is Dalmi will be devastated and leave Dosan once she found out that he has been lying to her about the letters and keeping her halmeoni’s illness a secret, just like what halmeoni has predicted. #StartUp

At that time, Samsan Tech + CEO Dalmi is already falling apart (start-up failures are pretty common, especially when the team is very inexperienced) and this will leave a stain to Han Jipyeong’s impressive record. #StartUp

And this is where Alex come into the picture. His 2STO will invest in Samsan Tech and they will leave for San Francisco for a couple years. Since the time jump from 2016/17 to 2020 has to happen somewhere. #StartUp

Staying behind, Dalmi starts anew with a new start-up with Saha in her team. Jipyeong will do his best to help Dalmi and they finally developed a real bond. #StartUp

In 2020, Dosan returns and he’s no longer naive and inexperienced. He’s a fully capable CEO and Samsan Tech is now a multi-billion won company. #StartUp

Also based on this Suzy spoiler, Halmeoni will probably die at one point, leaving Jipyeong with a great sense of responsibility towards Dalmi since she has no one left. #StartUp https://twitter.com/cheonsongyl/status/1320711209344139264

Anyways, since this thread is gaining traction, I think Dalmi and Dosan will end up together anyway. Just my heart will BREAK for Jipyeong now that I’m rooting for him too.

Well unless Park Hye Ryun writer-nim wants to pull another Samdong #StartUpEp7 #StartUp
