Because This Is My First Life Review

Because This Is My First Life

This Gif adequately portrays my love and excitement for Because This Is My First life.

Why? Because I watched one of the best dramas to ever hit my universe.

My first Korean Sweet Heart, the unforgettable Jung So Min plays  the lead. She has such a sweet presence. Almost every role I've seen her play, she has been demure, and sweet as apple pie. yet with each role, her characters grow more certain of how to navigate the train wreck that is K-Drama. This role as Yoon Ji-Ho is by far my favorite role of hers. Ji-Ho a drama writer who hails from a patriarchal family, is in need of housing. Nam Se Hee is a game developer on a budget due to a heavy mortgage. They accidentally become roommates and realize that they are very compatible. They eventually agree to a contractual marriage, fake marriage for cheap rent.

This drama weaves through, stalking, rape, marriage, family, friends, relationships, and many other topics, perfectly. I've learned so much from this drama.
Lee Min Ki gives an excellent performance. From the roots of his hair to the bottom of his soles he embodies a strange combination of stoicism and quirkiness. Blunt and dismissive on the surface does nothing to hide his warm heart.

For those who want substance in their romance genres, this is a perfect illustration. This made me analyze and question my own behavior toward my family and my romantic pursuits. This drama never ceased to satisfy.

 I mean it's from TvN... of course it's amazing!

I had reservations about this drama, but I was in for a thrilling, action-packed, rollercoaster ride.

 Jang Hyuk's drama's are always hit or miss with me. When plays characters that are cold and calculating his execution is brilliant. Then there are other roles that make me cringe by the overacting and flamboyancy of the character. I'd seen his picture in the thumbnail and I decided that I would put it on the back burner.

Well I'm happy to tell you that from the first 3 minutes of the drama, I was sucked in! It was amazing, everything flowed together seamlessly. Jang Hyuk's character as Moo Jin Hyuk shows a tough cop who takes a heart-wrenching blow due to the murder of his wife. As he tries to get some closure during the court case, his hopes are destroyed by Kang Kwon Joo played by Lee Ha Na. Kwon Joo took the emergency call Jin Hyuk's wife made, and due to her superhuman hearing, she believes that the killer of his wife, murdered her father as well.              Years later the pair are matched together in the Golden Time

team to help victims who have just recently found themselves in danger.

Romance isn't necessary for this gory, take no prisoners, thriller. Any sensitivity to gory scenes might make this show a bit hard to watch. I've yet to encounter such a wonderfully evil character such as Mo Tae Goo played by Kim Jae Wook. I wish I could accurately describe how the many layers of intrigue in this drama, but I would be giving it away. The only thing that I can do is tell you that each actor delivered gut-punching performances.

The show illustrates the corruptions of people who have too much money, too much power, and a disregard for human life. It will not only stimulate blood pressure, it stimulates the mind.
