Suzy And Nam Joo Hyuk Meet In Korean Drama Start-Up

JAKARTA - Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk will compete in roles for tvN's latest Korean drama titled Start-Up. Through social media, tvN announced the 4 main stars who will play a role in the drama.

Apart from Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk, there are Kim Seon-ho and Kang Hanna who are on the list. Previously, this drama was titled Sandbox but before its broadcast in the second half of 2020, the title changed to Start-Up.

Start-Up tells the story of Seo Dal-mi (Suzy), a woman who dreams of wanting to be like Steve Jobs. To save his money, he works as a part-time employee and hopes that he will be successful someday.

Nam Do-san, played by Nam Joo Hyuk, becomes a man who has a genius ability to operate computers. He chose to build his own company, but because he had not succeeded in making a profit, his family did not like his career.

Kim Seon-ho becomes Han Ji Pyung, the man who will join the Start-Up. Previously he was a manager at a large firm and was good at investing. Meanwhile Kang Hanna will be Won In Jae, the perfect CEO. He will join the Start-Up to help develop the business.

Judging from the Start-Up synopsis, it seems that this drama will have a similar storyline to Itaewon Class. The selection of the 4 main characters is also inseparable from the scriptwriter, Park Hye-ryun, who worked on Pinocchio, a drama that has 4 similar characters.

In addition, this drama is directed by Oh Choong-hwan who worked on While You Were Sleeping and Hotel Del Luna. This project brings Oh Choong-hwan and Suzy back together.

Suzy will face Nam Joo Hyuk for the first time after the two of them turned down an offer to play Come and Hug Me in 2018. The start-Up will have 16 episodes to broadcast.

The drama with the romance of young coding, Start-Up will air starting next October through the tvN television channel.
