I started watching Because this is my first life because I am intrigued by the title. The only main lead in the drama I am previously familiar with is jung so min,in playful kiss. I will not try to enter into the story line ,instead I will give you an account of what I felt while watching this drama. If I have to describe this drama in one word I would say captivating. This drama is so much more than a contract marriage drama.There are three different couples,the contract marriage couples Nam se hee and Yoon ji ho, the long term couple won seok and Ho rang,the newly formed not so serious couple soo ji and sang ho. There are dramas which make you fall in love with certain characters, there are dramas which leave you with feelings such as happiness,sadness,agony,inspiration, frustration,satisfaction and so on. This is that drama which I can relate to a great extent. I live in a patriarchal society like ji ho. Even though my situation is not like her ,at some scenes I felt like that is me on the screen .I can't pinpoint where but her character resonates to me in every level.ji ho and friends remained me of my friends.Nam se he is a stoic nerd but I felt that he is greatly responsible one. Like ji ho says we all are living this life for first time and we all make mistakes and only through open communication you can get over it. If you are going through the emotional war of an arranged marriage perspective watching this drama will give you hope and may calm your nerves,so this is one therapeutic drama. This drama has my most number if favourite quotes,the one with room no 19,the visitor poem she recites when she visits her house with se hee. The way she says why she love snails,his reason for loving cats. This drama tells even if your heart break once it doesn't mean you'll never get your destined love. There is no book that can teach how we live life perfectly,each one of us has different lifes so we have to find it by living and loving to the fullest. With heart fluttering moments and captivating romance stories this is a highly pleasurable watch with calming effect and rollercoaster of emotions. You may understand the deep thoughts drama put forward after a second watch and you will relate to it more.
