You'll fall in love with this
Actually, I knew this was going to be an awesome and warm TV show the moment I watched the trailer. But who would have thought it would exceed my already high expectations? If you’re pondering whether to watch ATOTS, no need to ponder anymore - just start watching. I promise you won’t regret! :)I don’t know what to start praising more - magnificent acting and the chemistry between the two main characters? The beautiful scenery where this story was placed? The story that really grabbed my heart from the very start and didn’t let go till the very end? Or the extraordinary OST that perfectly completes this unforgettable work?
I cried, I laughed and it made me feel emotions not many shows can make me feel. It brought such a warm feeling that I won’t ever forget. Definitely going to give A Tale of Thousand Stars a re-watch :)
Hoping and impatiently waiting for season 2! :)

Simple, yet adorable
I didn't read the reviews before watching the series and I'm glad I didn't. Some of them are quite discouraging and I'm not sure whether I'd watch it with the same enthusiastic feeling I had.Story starts off at the perfect pace. Some shows take a little too long (to my liking) before something finally starts happening and before we can see some scenes with a little physical contact or even some tension between the characters.
I found interesting the choice of personalities the main couple has - for the first time I saw a series where the characters have kind of similar personality and it was interesting to observe.
The most important aspect for me about the series is the feeling it gives me. If it made my heart flutter, the show succeeded. Is this a case of Oxygen? Yes! :)
For sure - it's nothing innovative, you can witness some typical stereotypes commonly used in BL series BUT it doesn't ruin the whole experience and it's still very adorable. Would recommend :)

If only...
Start-Up is a great story about friends, family and about starting a new bussiness with all sorts of different problems which can come along with it. This could easily be a 10/10 review IF… there’s a big if. Despite the very likeable story and characters, the male lead just didn’t sit well with me (for many reasons). On the other hand, second male lead was made exceptionally well. I related to him in many ways and in emotional scenes I really symphatized with him (which is nice, but it’d be awesome if I felt this way about the main male lead since he’s the main one…).Like I said this could be a 10/10 but unfortunately the writers chose to go with a different route than I wished, rooted and hoped for. I felt like the history shown between Jipyeong and Dalmi was thrown away too easily and it didn’t really make much sense to me.
Overall though Start-Up is a well-written story. I wouldn’t get discouraged by some reviews here and still give it a shot. I think this series deserves a chance despite its flaws.

Lives up to the expectations?
I very much vividly remember how excited I was for the series to air when I only got snippets and how I felt my heart drop when it got cancelled. And then the unspeakable relief when the series got picked up by some other company.It has to be said that my expectations were SUPER high based on the trailers, so it was really gonna be hit or miss. I read a couple of reviews and comments here and got a little less excited to begin the series, because they were quite bad.
I must express how happy I am that I didn't decide not to watch this, because it would be such a waste!
Yes, KinnPorsche doesn't make sense here and there, but those things are just something I don't mind considering the fact that this series was created for pure entertainment and damn, people, it's from the mafia background, how realistic or how much sense that should make? Come onnnnn.
Overall, do I recommend this series? YES. Does it live up to the expectations? Despite not being completely perfect, YES, it does.

Masterpiece at its finest
WOW. Can you hear it? I'm clapping. As long as I can remember this is the first kdrama that had me crying by episode 3. My Holo Love is no joke, it has this special 'something' which had me hooked since episode one till the very end - I couldn't stop watching, it's so damn addictive.I'm bowing down to the writer, actors/actresses and everyone who took a part in creating this marvelous piece of work. Everything blends together smoothly. One thing is connected to another and the story makes a perfect sense - no plot holes you'd wonder about.
Would I recommend this kdrama? Yes, yes, yes! Leave everything and get into watching My Holo Love right now. It's a love at first episode ;)

Not for everyone, not for me
After finishing the YYY series I was hoping that these special episodes would kind of complete the storyline and give me the ending I was hoping and waiting for.Honestly speaking, this isn’t everybody’s cup of tea and certainly not mine.
I wanted some conclusion, maybe I was hoping for more seriousness (not really). And what did I get? A plotless, meaningless scenes put together into a chaotic (unfortunately not in a good way) “something” what made no sense whatsoever.
The only bright side was acting skills which was enough to make me finish the YYY series alone, but certainly not these special episodes.
I almost never drop something I watch but I just couldn’t finish this...
