How can you continue if you don't know where you are going?

Someone told me that if you don't know what you really want to do in life, start from the things you do not hate doing. Because if you do not do anything at all, then you won't be able to find the one that your soul yearns for.

When you meet someone for the first time, what are the first questions you have for them? Is is their age? Their education background? Their job?

One of the things pointed out in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry' s The Little Prince is that how adults are so fond of numbers.

‘When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask you the kind of questions that should be asked, such as: “What kind of voice does he have?” “What are his favourite games?” “Does he collect butterflies?” Instead they ask: “How old is he? How much money does his father earn?” They really do imagine this is the best way to discover what sort of person he is!’ (excerpt from the book "The Little Prince)

In a world that runs by capitalist, being defined base on your bank accounts is pretty normal. It is as if your importance equates the number of zeros you have. The society paints productivity as being successful. And that is practical. And practicality is not a bad thing at all. I just wish we include happiness when we try to define success.

Why #TeamDosan in this world full of #TeamJipyeong?

This is not a question of who is the better person. We all know they are good people with their own flaws too. Han Ji Pyeong is too harsh with his words while Nam Do San is a little violent when he gets angry. But we know they love Seo Dal Mi very much.

So it all came down to who deserves Dal Mi more? And I personally think it is  Do San. Okay, here me out.

When I started watching the series, it already has 14 episodes. And a lot of people are already decided which team they are on: #TeamJipyeong. I think I only know two people who are not. Haha. So I was thinking that the battle of these leading men are so close.

I binged watch Start Up for a good 3 days to keep up to the last 2 episodes, but in my surprise, I never rooted for Ji Pyeong, romantically. The reason? Simply because, I think Do San and Dal Mi's bond is more personal. I remember I kept asking my sister if there will be a lot of Ji Pyeong x Dal Mi moments in the late episodes because I feel like their relationship is too formal to even consider. The memory of their letters will always be meaningful and all the things Ji Pyeong did to keep Dal Mi safe and happy will never be forgotten but, it just doesn't feel right. While in the other hand, our under dog Do san, is "trying" and "capable" of pulling Dal Mi's heartstrings, always.

Another thing, Han Jin Pyeong could have had a chance if he acted on what he feels for 3 years that he is with Dal Mi and Do San isn't. But he did not do anything. It just always too late. I know it is always gonna be hard to act upon our emotions, especially with something as strong and fragile as love. But I will always give credit to the people who did try, who are brave enough to be true to what they are feeling, even without guarantee.

That's why I think Nam Do San will always win Dal Mi's heart. 💕
