Itaewon Class is similar to Start-up because of the characters trying to start a business on their own.

- Both the shows have powerful female leads which we don't normally get to see often.

-There is first love for the characters in Itaewon class like Start-up and also
the bond that the main character shares with his/her father in these shows is so similar, the motivation it gave them to stand on their own feet and live with pride and make their dreams come true.
