Yuri was definitely an interesting character. For someone who is well-established, she should be emulated. The Korean version may not have one because they feel that the characters being in their 30s balances out the age range between Yuri and Moriyama? Again, I'm unsure whether or not First Life's intent is to be We Married as a Job outside of the synopsis.

I'm hoping the article does bring viewers to both shows. I liked We Married as a Job and thought it brought to light a lot of issues in regard to both relationships and marriage. However, unlike We Married as a Job, many people aren't tuning into Because This Is My First Life because the premise sounds similar to the Japanese drama

I'd also like to bring to light the original title to this article isn't what is published which makes it sounds like one is better than the other. My intent was supposed to give First Life a chance.

Thanks for reading the article! I appreciate the feedback.

I'm glad you have a definite choice between the two shows. :D I was hoping this article of mine won't dissuade watchers from tuning in. Nigeru wa Haju da ga Yaku ni Tatsu is good in many ways and I was saddened to see many people not watching it because of the similarities.

Thanks! Truly, not many shows do address taboo subjects like being single by age 30 or sexual harassment in the workplace. We still see it happening to Soo Ji. She understands it but she doesn't know how to remove herself from the situation without being in the losing end.

As what Won Seok said, there is a difference between love and marriage. Hopefully all the characters in this story finds out what's truly required of them to find that happiness, if not, balance.

I await the ramifications especially after this week's episodes.

In We Married as a Job, there were no sparks in the beginning. It was a straight up transaction. In First Life, I do think there's a feeling of being "rescued" by either party. That, in itself, is an emotion. Thanks for reading.

Thanks! Nuance between cultures is something I truly appreciate. I just wish people won't dismiss First Time because of the similarities. This week's episodes proved how different the cultures are as far a being romantic and pragmatic.

Did you watch Rush to the Dead Summer? I liked him there too.

Awwwww, thanks! I've fallen into the same couples too!

He does have a great physique. But I'd I added that, I might not talk about anything else. Lol

One of the better shows showcasing sportsmanship. I like it a lot!

Thanks! Are you catching it or are you currently watching?

True. I guess I was just comparing the caloric content of sweetness. Again, it's not that I disliked MSR that I compared it to FSG. But it's "steamy" (compared to K-drama standards) first scene may be akin to grabbing one's attention in reading FSG. :D

I had such high expectations for Orange Marmalade. Then that whole sageuk thing happened. I thought I read the wrong manwha!

We just have to pretend there was actual plot to like this show. Hahaha

Thanks for the post! I was going to write an article comparing and contrasting Ding Mo's novels-turned-into-shows. But instead, I'll be reading more books! :D

Right? It's like they want netizen input so they know which direction to go. It was a waste of talent for all involved in MMIYD.

I bailed on that show. It was so not the funny trainwreck kind. I wanted my time back after bailing at ep 10.

Thanks for reading! I love it when people can talk about their likes and dislikes and find out everyone's common experience in regard to shows and actors.

With 38 Task Force, the fact that the "happy ending" wasn't all that happy made you think. You know what didn't even give me that satisfaction? Neighborhood Hero. That, I dropped. And I loved the plot initially!
