Loved it. Even loved the voice overs… which is rare for me. And there were a lot of voice overs. But they were perfect. I loved the characters and their personalities and how they all hooked up. It was a simple yet slightly different love story, just enough to make it feel fresh but not enough to inspire some philosophical debate or severe attachment. This was a show you can watch, be engrossed in, and then happily let go… like birthday balloons after the party is over. I really loved it, but somehow I don’t think I’ll be obsessively re-watching this one.
Fangirl moment. I was already in love with the lead male, Lee Min-Ki. Even without eyeliner, he is still gorgeous and interesting looking. He was my favorite character in the show
Even though he wasn’t in the show long… he lingered in my mind for years. I can’t help myself. I love a man who wears more eyeliner than I do.
Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld's Cat, Will Not Attend Met Gala
Alright, alright, composure! Back to the show at hand… in which our handsome devil does very little smiling… which rocked, cause when he finally did crack a smile it was like the sun bursting through clouds.
There was a lot of good writing in this drama. Sometimes the points made (either via voice over or actual dialogue) about how relationships unfold were very insightful, a little sad, a little beautiful, and had me sighing… other times it was just stating the obvious, but with a poetic tone of voice. A few times, I was really impressed (enough to make screen shots!)
Our leading male is asexual. Or demisexual, technically… which isa person who doesn’t experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone. I was so excited to finally have an asexual/demisexual character in a show! And he was the lead romance, no less.
Because This Is My First Life” Making Film Hints At Lee Min Ki's Upcoming Jealousy
BUT… they took the lazy route, and made our demisexual a super science guy… as if only scientifically minded awkward people are asexy. Not that I minded terribly, it just kinda bugged me a little.
Cause honestly… our leading female was also a bit of a demisexual… not really strongly drawn by physical desires enough to actively pursue a relationship, content to just mildly flirt for years with the drama director. She turned 30 before she even kissed someone. It just wasn’t high on her list. Her pants didn’t light on fire until she’d experienced an emotional bond with her new “husband.” Yet she didn’t get the “you must be asexual or gay” treatment from her peers like the leading male. So apparently her mild crushing was enough to placate society.
The two leads did so much with their body language – to show their discomfort, awkwardness, growing attraction, and the personality quirks of the characters. And let’s go ahead and collectively agree that glue of their relationship was the cat. Kitty/Woori was the cutest little fur ball ever. I love cats, but I have never had a furry friend that was so agreeable to being carted around like a ragdoll. What a fluffy scene stealer! Those blue eyes!
Final Review: Because This Is My First Life
I could tell this drama thought of itself highly… “I’m breaking the mold, ” it said to itself, “Look at my nontraditional characters.” But they weren’t at all nontraditional, nor were the relationships portrayed. They were extremely ordinary. In K-World they may be a bit nontraditional, as K-World loves its more obvious tropes, but otherwise….? A shy, awkward pair that find themselves growing comfortable and dependent on each other while living together platonically… that slowly fall in love and pursue a relationship… well… so? I’m not really sure the standards have been reset here, but I was proud of them for sticking firm to what made them happy – as individuals and as a couple.
Our second romance is between couple who have been dating for years and the girl is ready to move the relationship forward but has put all the navigational power in the hands of her boyfriend… so she throws him tons of hints and gets annoyed he doesn’t read her mind… and when she finally comes clean, boyfriend isn’t sold on the idea and starts to back peddle and meander cause now he’s having to reframe the relationship into something new with more commitment and it was much easier coasting along in the moment… so things get messy.
Yup. Sounds like a dozen people I know. At some point you have to align your ideas of what the future holds or the relationship will break. Basic algebra of the heart.
Because This Is My First Life': The Quirky K Drama You Need
The third romance was of a smart, determined, high power professional woman who had to put up with the bullshit of men at work and keep that fake smile plastered on her face while their hands and eyes wandered over her. She kept her relationships short and sweet, preferring no strings attached. When he meets another smart, determined, high power professional who actually treats women with respect (most of the time), she finds herself giving in to traditional romance.
And the three men… well, I read this insightful comment on asianwiki…. and thought I’d just reshare – cause damn… good call, Austin.
There were lots of interesting side characters and side plots to keep the show moving and give it more scope than just three couples coming together.
Best Cat Quotes 2023
It’s just a really good show. An unusually low key romance that I recommend watching when you’re in the mood for a nice rumination on marriage, couples, and relationships.
I think this is a great show – and I hope we get more like it, but tweek the formula a little, because as awesome as it was… it should have wooed me and made me gush and blush and adore it a bit more… it wanted to… I wanted to…. but it just didn’t happen. I loved it. But I wouldn’t be scarred forever if we break up, dig?My city is currently on quarantine (thank you, COVID-19), so I’m back to watching and evaluating K-dramas. Writing feels good, especially after
For more than a month. Video games (my Nintendo Switch) took over most of my reading/Netflix time, hence my brief hiatus. Thankfully, Kuya Maui and I finished
Japanese Cat Names For Your New Feline Friend
Last night. We don’t usually complete TV series together, so when it does happen, I want to immortalize the experience with a review.
(이번 생은 처음이라) is about Se-hee and Ji-ho, two people with very incompatible personalities. Se-hee (Lee Min-ki) is a house-poor cat lover, while Ji-ho (Jung So-min) is an aspiring drama writer who suddenly becomes homeless. After a hilarious turn of events, they enter a contractual marriage. Se-hee gets a tenant (a new source of income), and Ji-ho gets a roof over her head. Convenient, isn’t it? It is, at first. But when warm feelings start to blossom, their tenant-landlord relationship becomes the epitome of “It’s complicated.”
Two pairs of lovebirds complement the main “ship” in the story. Ji-ho’s best friends (Soo-ji and Ho-rang) have romantic connections with Se-hee’s workmates (Sang-goo and Woo-seok). In spite of their stressful misunderstandings, all of these secondary characters give the series more humor and depth. Since each of the three love stories relies on specific tropes, this K-drama appeals to a wider audience.
Cats And Babies: Safety And Establishing Harmony
This sounds ridiculous, but Se-hee’s pet cat was the primary reason why I started the K-drama. We aren’t allowed to raise cats in our condo, so I usually relieve my “catsickness” by watching adorable and funny cat videos. Goyangi/Uri (Korean for “cat” and “we, ” respectively) provided a bit of catharsis every time the camera zoomed in on his face, but I really disliked his fake, robotic meows. If you’re familiar with the sound of natural meows, this little detail will also annoy you.
Se-hee and Ji-ho were both relatable protagonists, though not completely. For example, I resonated with Se-hee’s love for cats and alone time, but his extreme stoicism and self-deprecation were frustrating. I watched Beauty Inside before this K-drama, so I was mildly disappointed that Lee Min-ki’s role
Ji-ho’s passion for writing was her best feature. The K-drama industry must be so competitive that not even a degree in a prestigious school such as Seoul University can guarantee success. If I were in Ji-ho’s position, I would probably give up. How can you still be interested in scriptwriting after your boss rejects your work so many times and your director assaults you? Pursuing your dreams in spite of such emotional turmoil takes tenacity and inspiration. My only problem with Ji-ho was her fickleness; her feelings for Se-hee were as predictable as the wind.
Because This Is My First Life' Episode 9, Jung So Min And Lee Min Ki's Contact Names Changed Into 'wife And Husband'
The most exciting pair was Ho-rang (Kim Ga-eun) and Woo-seok (Kim Min-suk). Among all of the characters, they had the most significant problems. Even after being together for seven years, Ho-rang and Woo-seok couldn’t marry because they weren’t financially ready. Also, although Ho-rang always “encouraged” Woo-seok to propose to her, he wasn’t mature enough to read between the lines. To be fair, Ho-rang could have expressed her desire in straightforward terms (e.g., “Let’s get married.”). Nonetheless, it was impossible to choose a side. Both of them had fatal flaws that
