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
