Because This Is My First Life

Wanted to watch this drama a couple of times but the unsure as to whether it will be good. It's not easy to survive on your dream, one must realistic. Male-dominant power abuse in the workplace, the pressure of getting married, the pressure of in-laws & just survival is not easy.

It may seem boring but give it time, all will come together as it os not easy to open up or speak your mind, fear of retribution or rejection.

It is worth while romantic drama. Recommend it!

i hesitated to watch it at first... but after watching one episode i couldn't stop. Its so good and totally relatable in day to day lives of any people. Not a dreamy fantasy serial at all. I love it. and the lead actors make a good couple even tho they have totally different personalities. Love them.

I should start by saying that I would rate this show a solid 8.5 (but since I have to pick either 8 or 9, I chose 9). If I had to describe this show in one sentence, I would call it a quiet, understated examination of love and marriage in modern times...which probably sounds totally boring, but it's not.

While the plot hinges on a cliche (contract marriage), the resulting story is anything but, and is a far cry from any K-Drama I've yet seen. It walks a beautifully fine line between cynicism and optimism, with some of the most original and heartfelt lines I have ever heard in any film, anytime, anywhere (On the other hand, if you don't care for thinking with your entertainment, this might not be your cup of tea).

In addition, seeing as the story centers on real life issues, I loved the fact that the cast was likewise "real-life beautiful," (rather than the unreasonably gorgeous type that are commonly selected for leading roles), and I was thoroughly impressed with the caliber of acting all around (Though the MVP is still the cat! Somebody get that adorable feline an award!)

If you are looking for a fresh and heartfelt K-Drama that brings romance to the real world, this is for you. Recommended!

ROMANCE RATING: 8.5/10. By K-Drama standards, this show had more kiss scenes than average (4+), and the kisses mostly fall in the NC17 category (rather than the standard G rated ones). Additionally, all three couples had good chemistry between them. I could have wished for a little more romantic payoff after all the build up for the MC's, but what we got was acceptable without being too racy.

This show is near perfection; so much fun, a slow burn love story, and so much more, with excellent lead characters, and, just the right amount of cheese. If like me you have an unhealthy KDrama addiction, I think you should give this a try.

Really liked this series, it's not your typical KD with all the ups and downs slow paced and good timely humor,So-Min Jung is adorable in this never seen her before but she now on my viewing radar Could have spent more time in the last two episodes on the main couple that's my only complaint if they would have done that id have given it a 9.
