When GMA Network announced that Bea Alonzo and Alden Richards would lead the cast of 'Start-Up PH' — the local adaptation of the hit K-drama series of the same title — some hardcore fans of the original production raised their eyebrows. After all, Bae Suzy and Nam Joo-hyuk, the original Korean stars who played Alonzo and Richards' characters, became iconic in their roles, thus capturing fans around the globe, Filipinos included.

Some worry about the untested chemistry of the two Kapuso actors and their more advanced years compared to the original characters.
