Need a Real Deal Romance K-Drama? Check Out Because This Is My First Life

Summary:

• The fans of South Korean TV industry claim that this drama is of next level quality.
• Because This Is My First Life is a K-drama that feels like it’s not a show at all.
• There are almost no unlikable characters in the series.

We don’t know how about you, but we just love when the expectations from the show just end up being ruined… In a sense when what we expected to be yet another typical stuff coming across as an actual masterpiece, of course.

So if you think romantic K-dramas aren’t for you (whether that’s because you’ve watched too many or never checked out a single one), we have a little something that can change your mind.

At the center of the story in Because This Is My First Life there’s a single woman named Ji Ho, who is a devoted career woman, altho she just works as a writing assistant of dramas. She is in her thirties, and her life has taught her to only rely on herself.

One day, tragedy struck: she was kicked out of her own home and had to find a new place to live. Her friends helped her find a roommate, another young man in his thirties, Se Hee.

Se Hee is a typical bachelor who claims he never wants to get married. He doesn't even go on dates or show interest in anyone. However, he is a very handsome man who is also smart and logical. There's no room for romance in his life. Maybe just a little, with his favorite cat, Kitty.

The two of them are forced to live together in his house, because even though he has one, paying the mortgage turned out to be a difficult task.

Now, what makes this drama a must-watch for everyone? As the fans claim, they never thought that the main characters were even acting, that's how real their performances were.

The fans couldn't help but feel connected to them and find peace in the way their situations were resolved.

“YESS OMG I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ACTING! After a LONG slump, I’m binging this show and don’t want it to end! I also find the FL to be really relatable to my situation so I’m just so addicted to this show!” Redditor EcstaticFortune6258 said.

There were also many serious issues at the center of the show, such as sexism, chauvinism, and many gender and other stereotypes.

Along with that, the pressure that society puts on young adults is also at the center of the show. Also, the human connections depicted in the show felt absolutely real.

Because This Is My First Life is available to stream on Netflix.
