        Did you start "Start-Up"? The drama started not long ago but the story already got us hooked.

        SuzyNam JooHyukKim SeonHo, and Kang HanNa are the lead actors of "Start-Up". It tells the story of young people who dream of success and who start working in start-ups in the Korean Silicon Valley. It tells their 'START' and their growth 'UP'.

        Nam JooHyuk is acting as Nam DoSan who is the founder of SamSan Tech, a small company that developed an AI software but has trouble finding investors.

        Be aware of spoilers from episodes 1 to 4.

        His character is talented and smart but a bit clumsy and nerdy. He is working hard toward his dreams.

        Nam JooHyuk is crushable with his sweet and innocent personality. The fact that he never dated before makes him even more likable. With the first episodes, his character showed his charms and his true interest in Suzy as Seo DalMi. Even if, he had to lie to her about his true identity.

        Here are 5 times Nam JooHyuk won our heart in the first episodes of "Start-Up".

         

        1- When he said she was pretty

        In this scene, Nam JooHyuk was driving Suzy back home and there were fireworks nearby. While Suzy was commenting on how pretty the fireworks were, instead of looking at the spectacle, he was looking at her and answered "how pretty" (saying she was pretty but pretending to talk about the fireworks).

        Nam JooHyuk is falling hard for Suzy and he has romantic sides!

         

        2- When he confessed straightforwardly that he is interested in her

        When his friends asked him if he was interested in Suzy, Nam JooHyuk answered that he was.

        It might not be too easy to confess his feelings to his friends but Nam JooHyuk is honest and straightforward moreover he is sure about his feelings for her. The fact that he is openly interested makes him look even more attractive.

         

        3- When he ran after the bus

        Nam JooHyuk is new to dating but he knows how to follow his heart. In this scene, he said goodbye to Suzy who took the bus. But a second later, he started to run after the bus and got on to spend more time with her.

        Netflix

        Sitting new to each other, Suzy made a move to touch his hand. Shy, he was not looking at her and failed to lock her hand after some attempts. The man is following his heart but he is not rushing things.

         

        4- When he asked her why she likes him

        Nam JooHyuk is lying about his true identity (he is not the one she exchanged letter with and he is not a rich and successful CEO) so he starts to doubt the reasons why she really likes him (the one he pretends to be? the one he really is?) ... proving he really cares about her feelings for him.

         

        5- When he was struggling with the dessert and salad forks

        Let's admit it. Nam JooHyuk's struggles to look "cool" make him look extremely cute.

        Kim SeonHo acting as Han JiPyung is giving him classes to know how to look elegant on fancy dates, teaching him what is the dessert and salad forks, how to drink wine, etc. But Nam JooHyuk is taking a long time to learn.

         

        Bonus - He likes knitting

        Nam JooHyuk has a cute and husband material hobby: knitting.
