Entering Sandbox is every young entrepreneur's dream, so when the company organizes a Hackathon to recruit new talents, it's only natural that Seo Dal-mi and Han Ji-pyeong enroll, mostly in an effort to change their lives forever. However, coming face to face with your childhood enemy after years apart can only mean trouble. When destiny drives them to become CEOs in opposite teams, past rivalries turn into an open war, where the one which ends on top takes it all. Even their hearts. Sparks will fly high, and unstoppable raging fires will become routine as Ji-pyeong and Dal-mi find themselves on opposite sides again. How to survive your mortal enemy and your own traitorous feelings during a bloody battle for victory?

Four years have passed since Dal-mi decided to stay with Nam Do-san, many things happened until they decided to end the relationship and perceive different paths in the most amicable way possible. His career took Do-san back to Silicon Valley while Dal-mi joined forces with her sister to finally make their father's business plan come true, and so they embark in a new adventure. After Haelmoni's pacific death, Ji-pyeong decided to vanish from the Seo's life, travelling to Europe in order to expand SH Venture Capital but also to recover from a broken heart. He is doing just fine until fate brings him back home, where all started. He is doing just fine until fate brings back his first love, and it seems that his heart could still take a shot at this. It takes almost a decade to fall in love with him, but how could she not? (header images from @seonhojpeg on twitter)

An alternate storyline of the popular k-drama Start-up where Han Ji-Pyeong becomes the male lead instead of Nam Do-San. It starts from the point when Dal-Mi finds Ji-Pyeong in the spot where she used to leave her letters. The truth is revealed, clearing all her feelings for Do-San. Now she knows who she should've truly fallen in love with. ******** "Tell me, Ms. Seo. Would you have fallen for me instead of Do-San if I had come clean?" Dal-Mi held his gaze for a moment before dropping them to her noodles. "Tell me Mr. Han," she said. "Do you really go to Gapyeong every week to have pine nut kalguksu?" "No," he said, taking another bite of his noddle. "I never had it before you brought me some. I went to to get you because Ms. Lee contacted me." "Then that's a stupid question," she said, picking up her chopsticks. "Majority of my feelings for Do-San is based on the fact that he is my first love. So, it's really stupid if you think you never had a chance." ********** Please read on only to support Ji-Pyeong . The drama will take care of Nam Do-San. I wanted to give Ji-Pyeong a shot at getting an ending he deserves. The drama is still ongoing, so the story may not completely align with it. Start Date - 16th November, 2020 End Date - 30th December, 2020
