Start up is the story of two sisters dal-mi and in-jae. Their parents get divorced because the father quits his job to start a business and their mother wants a steady income. Their mother marries a rich guy and in-jae goes with her while dal-mi stays with her father and grandma. Father passes away in a road accident. Dal-mi feels alone as in-jae and father left her. Han-pi jyeong is an orphan olympiad winner who is given shelter by dal-mi's grandma. Unable to see dal-mi upset, grandma asks Han's help to write some fake letters to her as a friend. Han uses a name nam-dosan to write the letters. Years pass and han is now a rich and successful man, dal-mi is dreaming of starting a business and in-jae is flourishing well under her stepfather's business. In-jae and dal-mi meet and in-jae invites dal-mi for a party, dal-mi agrees to come with her boyfriend nam-dosan. Grandma meets han again and asks him to find the real nam-dosan for dal-mi. Han finally finds nam-dosan who along with his two friends is a struggling techie trying to build his company samsan tech. Han gives nam-dosan his clothes, car etc to meet dal-mi. Nam-dosan meets dal-mi in the party. Their relationship starts developing, despite nam-dosan not being the guy written in the letters. Dal-mi wants to enter sandbox, a institute for selection of start-up companies. Nam-dosan and his friends also enter and soon they become a team. In-jae also joins sandbox after quitting her job when her stepdad started giving preference to his son. On top of that, things get more complicated, when han starts falling in love with dal-mi. Who will win the start-up competition? What will happen when dal-mi knows the truth? Who will she accept? For that watch startup.

Story, screenplay, concept and characters are really interesting. Han is the best character among them. He is successful professionally but lonely in person. In-jae is a no-nonsense, shrewd and practical lady. Dal-mi is cuteness overload but mature at the right moments. Nam-dosan is a very talented boy but is very emotional which forbids him to succeed. What, i loved in the show the most was the scenes between grandma and han which was so heart touching leaving you moist eyed but its not shown often. Nam-dosan friends also entertain.

But on the flipside, i found the father's death unintentionally funny. Also in the final episode, every character gets a happy ending except han which disappointed many people. Many suggested that dal-mi and han should have united. I never felt it right because dal-mi sees han only as a career guru and well wisher and can't see him in a romantic way. Also in 3 years when they were together and dal-mi didn't have any contact with nam-dosan, han failed to take their relationship a step forward despite him being close to her family. The whole series was build in the romance of dal-mi and nam-dosan. Han started developing feelings too late. So dal-mi and dosan were perfect for each other.

On the whole, despite these flaws and each episode being 70-80 minutes long, I thoroughly enjoyed startup series.

John wick(keanu reeves) mourns the death of his wife helen(bridget moyhannan). Helen gifts john a cute beagle puppy before dying, so that he doesn't feel lonely. He starts his life with the puppy. But his happiness is short lived when he gets attacked by iosef and his friends who steal his 69 model mustang and murder his puppy. When iosef's gangster dad viggo comes to know about his son's deed, he confronts him and explains him who he messed with. Though viggo knows that john is unstoppable, he tries his best to protect his son. Rest of the film is how john gets his revenge.

On paper, this plot looks laughable. But directors chad stahelski and david leitch emotionally hook us within 10 minutes only. The puppy's death would probably be the most disturbing death ever in film history. After that, our blood boils for those guys to be killed. Keanu reeves was absolutely badass as john wick. The biggest highlight of the film is its action sequences where those days action scenes were full of shaky cams and jump cuts, john wick revolutionized stunt choreography with wide angle, single take shots. Even though john is invincible, if he fights with 10 people together, he would struggle to kill or defeat them. Only drawback i felt was its slightly weak climax.

Otherwise, john wick is a solid revenge thriller which revolutionized the one man army action genre.

Echo is a spinoff of the character maya we saw in hawkeye. First episode was mainly the recap of hawkeye. Also there is a cameo of daredevil. Seeing that fight its clear that there was a body double for maya. I don't know why there was a series for maya. She is such a boring character. And in the finale sucks like secret invasion, but unlike secret invasion it was not that over the top. Vincent d'onforio returns as kingpin and as usual he is great. He was the only one for whom you can watch this show. It was initially supposed to be of eight episodes. But kevin feige didn't like it. Then they reshot it for 6 episodes but ended up with 5. It's short runtime and no unnecessary humor like previous MCU projects are the other positives.
