Keep this show in your star pocket

This show was a delight to watch. It's mostly lighthearted, with a few moving and truly hysterically funny moments thrown in. I was pleased that it showed how love can be messy and complicated, - not always easy and instant as so many K-dramas depict. Of course, since I am also a hopeless romantic I loved the endings for all three couples.

The couples:

I enjoyed watching Ji Ho and Se Hee going from a relationship of convenience to having genuine feelings for one another. It was a cautious process for them both, and not without misunderstandings on both their parts. I did not like that she, knowing he was about to confess and having feelings for him as well decided to leave him, it just felt like an unnecessary plot twist to add tension as a build-up for the final episode. I think it would have been more enjoyable to watch the two awkwardly explore their feelings, and in general could not understand the motivation for Ji Ho to leave like that.

Soo Ji and Sang Goo were actually my favorites of them all. She was so unconventional and truly marvelous, and he was a truly good and kind man. Even before they were dating he was bothered by the offensive way she was treated by her colleagues, and tried to stand up for her even when she wouldn't herself because of her fear of retaliation. He was shocked by her wild ways, but fell completely and totally in love with her and gave her support and encouragement. I felt she was a strong woman, and was delighted when she demanded an apology from her sexist colleague, and even more so when she punched him when he made a mockery of it.

Ho Rang and Won Seok were my least favorite couple. I truly disliked her most of the time. I found her selfish and irritating - and every time she yelled at Won Seok or told him not to speak of anything that interested him I cringed. I was glad when she got a little taste of her own medicine from the very weird accountant from Sang Goo's company, and really felt that she was less intolerable in the scene when she and Won Seok finally got back together.

The friendship between the three women was also a treat to see. I could not stop laughing at the scenes that showed them all becoming friends. The way they were all there for one another in good times and bad was special.

The supporting cast were also quite good in their roles, particularly the characters of Bo Mi and Jeong Min. Both actresses were well-suited to the women they played.

This drama was fun to watch and time well spent. Definitely recommended if you're not in the mood for anything serious.

It will make you see things in a different way.

How can i explain things about this drama this drama totally is
something that makes you see life in a different way. i loved each
and every dialogue used in this drama and they are totally stuck
in my heart for example the whole room 19 story, the remember
the book se hee was reading on the bus ' Although you cry nothing will change ' and the line from that book it goes like.. words comes out of our mouth and dies in someone else's ears but there are
some words that are stuck in someone else's heart. This drama said to be honest with your heart and say what you are feeling. Although there was hardships in everyone's life there was still some happy
moments in between. and the title itself is so good ' BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST LIFE ' we all have only one and first life to spend so we
should make sure never regret it later, speak your heart , do what
you wanna do because this is our first life.
This drama made me feel happy, sad, smile like an idiot and laugh
like crazy sometimes and it felt so good watching this.

I adore this drama as it portrays real-life problems.

Nice unusual drama , not your typical rich boy poor girl trope, The story line isnt as straightforward as our leads arent the type who believe in love enough to fall so easily, they viewed marriage as an arrangement than based on love until their feelings got in the way. The lead characters were a bit layered to create depth to them so it was easy to see their development as the episodes progressed.

One great thing about this drama is that the love story is not centered around the two leads but other supporting cast has a love story that was well detailed and progressed throughout the episodes so you wont be so bored with our main leads who are not as outspoken as the supporting casts.

How should I start...????

So if do you have an interest in a drama about marriage and the meaning of it, considering all the hardships of social, working and familiar life, this is the right drama. The story is really interesting and analyzes how the actual generation -people in their 30s- have to face the concept and the institution of marriage.

A wonderful drama that gives insights into different opinions and ideas about a common concept 'marriage' which is interpreted in different ways according to the different backgrounds and goals of everyone.

The drama is overviewing how it is important to consider the individual's choices and be able to respect others while living in the same community.

It is not about the common lovely and romantic concept but gives a good interpretation of living together and marriage with some romance in-between.

Lee Min Ki... I discovered him with this drama and I think he did a very good job of representing the character of Nam Se Hee. And for Jung Soo Min, I can say that she has done a good job without disappointing the viewers like in her other dramas.

I watched the other projects of the screenwriter Yoon Nan Joong, and those were in the same way good projects.

Lovely Show

I have always had this question regarding why people get engaged in arranged Marriage and How two people can live together without love just because their lifestyles are compatible. I mean it's a serious Situation. You are going to live your whole life with someone stranger sharing everything, including your lows and flaws.

Well, this question may seem easy, but the answers are not as easy it seems.
This drama has clearly forayed into that dilemma with the Modern era twist.

"Because this my first life" the name of the drama itself talks much about this drama.
We all live and die once so inherently that explains how we shouldn't lose hope whenever we face any setbacks and approach everything by faith and enthusiasm.

And If something's not First doesn't mean it just lost its charm. End of the day, every single regular thing is precious.
This context has been gracefully tackled with the example of Football game. "Watching a Football Match isn't special, but with whom we are watching it, that makes the difference" and that counts ♥️.

It's really wonderful and fortunate for couples when they develop love and caring because of the kinship called "Marriage".
Although being Committed to a system called Marriage isn't easy, but it needs teamwork, understanding and a little bit of patience. Marriage or not, understanding each other well is the real deal.

I would say it's a great Drama given it clearly deals with the complexity of the topic of "Marriage" very well.

How do I describe this drama?!

Honestly, it's one of the most hilarious I've seen in a while. There were moments that had me laughing so hard my stomach hurt (especially those in SaeHee's home), and many of the scenes weren't over the top or forced. And at the same time, there were some scenes that gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. ^^ I was worried that there would be typical kdrama miscommunications, but it's played out nicely so far.

The acting was pretty good in my opinion - though I'd say it's usually too soon to tell in the first two episodes, the main characters balanced each other nicely, even with their different personalities. Through most of the two episodes, I also found myself engaged with the supporting cast (JiHo's mother and her friends). ^^ I also really like how this drama tackled some issues (don't want to spoil it, but it ties in with JiHo's writing problems) in a meaningful way - everything was laid out pretty realistically. I can't wait for the next episodes to be released; the plot is interesting enough that I'll be thinking about this drama for a long time!

This Kdrama is a composite of many things. A love story, a feminist statement, a thriller (very briefly), a comedy & a philosophical soliloquy. At the beginning what strikes you is how different is is from the usual formulaic K romcoms. In the first episode we witness sex scenes, cat poo & a female virgin kissing a male stranger, all screaming out we are different from the rest. There are visual reference clues to the writers leanings in the start: In 'The Graduate' poster, which is replicated in the story and Breakfast at Tiffany's' in the naming of 'Cat', this must have served as inspiration for the writer. There are subliminal messages in the clothing 'You make your own Luck' & 'Raise Boys & Girls the Same'. You do feel that this story is very personal to the writer and she is documenting her own experience, as the FL is a writer for dramas also. The misunderstandings are hilarious in the beginning and we have some very shrewd observations that any woman can relate to (and not just in Korea) about how gender relations work in society. The characters are well written and have distinct personalities. All the couples are given their own strong storylines which they are allowed to develop equally alongside the main couple. But after 'that' kiss I feel it loses it's way and the FL starts philosophising in a smug calm way, which becomes really annoying. Yes, you've expressed your love for each other and now you are ruining it because he won't open the door to room 19? Like what? She want's to see him cry and get angry, while she remains serene. Then the other 2 couples have their temperamental tiffs which ends up with both the women proposing. So, what is the message exactly?....You don't need marriage? If you get married you'll end up miserable like your parents? Marriage is only going to work when the woman proposes & is in charge? But, that's not equality, that's just gender reversal. What might have been more interesting is if they had stronger male characters, but then the women wouldn't have been able to break-up with them and then get back together so easily. Let's face it, in the world we live in today, if a woman breaks up with a half- descent man (which all of these men were) he wouldn't have waited around, another woman would have snapped him up lickety-split by pandering to his shattered self-esteem, whereas this would not happen in reverse unless she looks like a supermodel and that's the real reason women (pre-children) (not all but the majority) will always be passive in relationships.

Very different story to most Kdramas

I actually really enjoyed this drama. Most of all, I liked how they were able to keep it consistently interesting as most dramas are only good in the first half or the second half.

My favourite characters were Woo Suji and Ma Sangoo, they were even more interesting than the main characters who were mostly just timid and annoying at times. Even though the female lead wasn't my favourite, I liked how the writers chose a personality for her and stood by it as although she does experience some growth, she is still the same person throughout the plot, which is something that kdrama writers find hard to maintain.

On the contrary, the male lead's personality did a 360. It was nice to see the contrast between the two. I also really enjoyed watching the other second leads (Wonseok and Horang). The actors' portrayal of their characters was amazing.

One thing that bothered me a bit was the fact that she was struggling to afford rent yet her father had bought an apartment for her and her brother? How was that possible?

Either way, definitely not in my top 15 but it's a really enjoyable drama if you're looking for something different.
