Watching Because This Is My First Life has honestly been one of the greatest experiences in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a show, at least a kdrama, as much as I did this one. It’s taught me so much about love, life and human nature. I don’t think I can accurately articulate everything that made this show so amazing but one of my favorite things was the authenticity of it all. The characters were so real and honest and flawed. All of that made them all the more perfect, somehow. I want to really take a moment to applaud the writing, which was so so sooo well done. It brought the plot and characters to life in such a way that I found myself sympathizing with people and story-lines that I didn’t even necessarily agree with. And the cast was ahhhmazing. Every single one of them did so well. I really appreciated what all the couples represented and the trajectory each took. Horang and Wonseok had a pretty turbulent relationship and I wasn’t always sold on it. But both of them showed so much growth by the end and I’m so proud of both of them. Suji and Sanggu I was also a little skeptical about but they turned out to be such a fantastic couple. Both so strong and intelligent, albeit in different ways. It made me so happy to see them bring out the best in each other and stand by each other. And Sehee and Jiho. Wow. Where do I start? They. Are. Perfection. The best in every way possible. Ironically, both of them are so flawed. But they both grew up so much during the show. Jiho finally became the striker she was always meant to be. Sehee learned to love, but even better, he let himself believe that he deserved to be loved. They caused so many positive changes in each other. and despite the bumps in the road, they had by far one of the healthiest, most respectful relationships I have ever seen. Everyone went through so much and seeing them all happy at the end just made me so happy that it doesn’t even make sense. This is bittersweet because I’m saying goodbye to something so good and characters that weirdly seem like old friends. But I’ve enjoyed this show so much that even that even that pain is worth it. Goodbye, Because This Is My First Life. You truly were the best.

Lastly, I want to thank everyone else who watched and posted on tumblr and made gifs and reblogged my gifs and just the whole community. Spazzing out together was a huge part of what made this experience fun for me so for that, I thank you all! ♡ ♡ ♡

COMPLETED: Because This is My First Life (2017) (10/10).

Starting this drama, I had no expectations. I didn’t think the Contract Marriage Premise could stand in 2017; I was wrong. Lee Min Ki and Jung Soo Min did such an amazing job bringing Nam Se Hee and Yoon Ji Ho to life. From the first episodes, they share such a sweet and tender understanding for each other. Nam Se Hee is such a deep and thoughtful character, but has a bit of an odd outlook on life. Lee Min Ki’s portrayal of such a quirky character is so heartwarming. He really delivers on a whole new level. His monologues throughout the drama are so deep and evocative.

Along with the development of the lead characters, the supporting characters have fairly unique and memorable character arcs. Aside from the contract relationship premise, Because This is My First Life also tries to tackle the three modern day females with different perspectives setup. This drama does this very well. The roles of Woo Su Ji and Yang Ho Rang are able to share in some very poignant moments throughout the drama. I enjoyed how the portrayal of these female characters provided a commentary of the modern day woman and the challenges that she faces from day to day.

Personally, this was one of my favorite dramas this year. It was just pure perfection from start to end. It astutely created characters that had special circumstances, but were still entirely relatable. A feat not many dramas can aptly pull-off. I can’t recommend this one enough!

I am indeed in tears! It was such a beautiful journey. It really feels like I am in part of the drama. I am gonna surely treasure every lesson this drama gave us. It absolutely changed some of my views in life.

To Horang, the crybaby, I totally love how you grew through this drama. From now on, I hope you do what will make you happy. You don’t have to envy other people, you have your bestest guy here!

To Ma Daepyo, the ideal boss, you totally changed my view of what should an employer must be. Haha. You are such a good friend to everyone. Even though, you are bit immature, you brought the real Sooji into this world and that’s what I am most thankful to you for.

To myself and the others who have seen the drama as their own story, we will make mistakes because it’s our first time, but we should always try as if it is our first. We should not live by the society’s standards. We should do what will always make us happy. We should not give up on love and think of it lightly. Let’s live this life fully because this is our first and probably the last.

I am gonna miss this drama so much ;_;

Nam Sehee is the best main male lead in any drama I’ve ever watched. It breaks me so much seeing him cry in Jiho’s room. He just fulfilled his promise. He let Jiho do what she will make her happy. He never thought of holding onto her, even if it means he has to let her go. He always think of her happiness. I will not say that he is not coward for not really saying what he truly feels. Jiho is also right when she said that he doesn’t open up to her. He was being careful. He was also scared but still he’s overflowing of respect for her. He truly loves her. There will be many realizations tonight. I cannot wait for the second half. This intermission is too painful.

“What is Marriage?”

Musings on the themes in Because This is My First Life.

When JH uttered these words, this entire episode (ep 15), in fact the entire drama became clear to me. This is the central theme of this show. The writer has brilliantly set up three characters to ask the same question in this modernist era where many find themselves evaluating old traditions. More importantly, many find themselves evaluating where they stand, with regard to the institution of marriage.

The writer has used three characters to argue the three permutations of marriage: 1) Is Marriage Sacred? 2) Is Love Scared? and 3) Is neither Sacred? There is of course a 4th permutation, where Are Both Marriage and Love Sacred? and I will get to that in a bit.

What I am expecting on Because This is My First Life Episode 15

On last week’s episode, we were left hanging on Jiho’s statement about ending the contract. Will Sehee agree or disagree to this? Will he man up and profess his feelings? I hope this conversation will really end well. I mean, the drama has always expressed the value of communication. At this point, it’s very crucial for the both of them. Jiho thinks that Sehee has still feelings(?), unfinished business with Jungmin. Sehee is now decided and ready to love again.

I am not expecting much about Sanggoo and Sooji. They’re having it smoothly right now, but I wish Sooji will pursue that bra idea. It was her dream to put up her own business, and I actually want to work under her. lol

Wonseok and Horang worries me but I am so glad they broke up. I just think Horang will got hurt or hurt that guy she’s meeting if she decide to start a relationship. I hope they’ll be just friends for now. It will help her heal her wounds somehow but dating is very dangerous in her case. In Wonseok’s case, Bomi was such a bomb exploded in front of him. They’re really cute in the office. I also think their personalities matches well together.

I don’t really know what will happen in the last two chapters of this wonderful masterpiece. I just hope everyone will go for what their hearts really desire. It might be their first lives but it is also the last, and this is really what the drama says for us. We should live by how we want it to be and not live by the standards of the community.
