Comments

AnnAnn Jan 02 2026 8:35 am My comfort drama, along with Mr Queen! No cringy lovey-dovey characters, just a slice of life drama. No fancy knight in shining armor and a weak damsel in distress writing. I also like that they gave spotlights to side characters.

Katiekate Dec 21 2025 8:43 am I watched this drama like every once or twice in a year, it's my comfort kdrama, i love the POV from the female lead, about life of a person above 30s years old, i can also relate to some of the situation in this drama especially the patriarchy in the family. The drama for me will be quite boring for people that love fast pace and also a person that below 30s. Haha

Sally Jul 16 2025 8:58 am Very boring and directionless drama. First two episodes were ok before everything went downhill. Lead couple has zero chemistry. The main reason for the fake mariage does not even make sense. The male lead holds emotional deph of a brick. There are some supporting characters with really bad acting who take up a lot of scenes. At some point the flashbacks to high shool days make you so confused as to the point of this drama. Don't waste you time watching.

DVR Jul 12 2025 10:46 pm This is my all time favorite k-drama. I have watched it 5 times now, once a year since I first saw it. I just find it so incredibly charming.

Lee Min-Ki and Jung So-Min have become my favorites because of this drama and I try to watch everything they are in.

Kim Min-Kyu(Bok Nam) does well in here too. Actually all the supporting cast did well, and the OST is perfect.

Joy May 27 2025 7:36 pm I've had this drama in my phone for the longest time thinking it's boring to watch. I kid you not when I say I binged watched it for straight 32hrs. within a day and a few extra hours I was done. I enjoyed this drama so much. I did give it a rating of ♾️/100 Whoever wrote, produced or directed this did so in good faith. It was well written and balanced up with great actors who owned their characters, they all killed their roles. The male lead! That man is awesome... I believe I will be going to check out his other works cause he aced this one for me

This story deserves its medals. I loved and enjoyed it so so so so so much!

Reese Apr 25 2025 2:32 am Best! I can't stop watching this drama. Each episode daebakk✨️

Jillibean Apr 11 2025 11:07 am Don't listen to a few naysayers, the majority is right on this one. This drama is in my Top Twenty Favorites out of over 1300 Korean dramas I've watched since 2006. It's an Essential Watch. The leads and the supporting cast were Flawless. The OST perfect for all scenes. This is a Thinking Person's Drama, a true Masterpiece. Don't miss it.

Princess Apr 06 2025 11:06 am I have come to the conclusion that I watched a different series from others here because I do not understand the love for this drama firstly the boy has the emotional depth of a fish like how is it that at episode 10 he still calls her a tenant and means it. He is literally a bright blinking red light and it is so slowww , you watch one episode and be like oh something is finally going to happen and then next episode nothing just the same emotion less talking.I like the supporting characters and stayed for them but the main couple was just tiring and lacked chemistry.

Rachelle Apr 05 2025 1:54 pm My favorite drama of all the drams i've wtached since 2021. I love it it's funny, it's relatable, it sad it's everything. I love all the cast, the main and side stories. It was perfect. Also the OST was just perfect lol

Nadu Mar 03 2025 6:35 am One of the most beautiful Korean dramas I've ever watched. The chemistry between Lee minki and Jung so min is undeniable. Truly talented main leads. Thank you for this beautiful drama!

April Jan 23 2025 8:56 am I absolutely love this drama—from the cast to the atmosphere, every second of it is amazing. I appreciate how there are no cringy moments and how each character's backstory perfectly aligns with their personality. In many dramas, characters often seem inconsistent, acting in ways that don't match their backstory or development throughout the story, but this film avoids that entirely.

cat-in Oct 18 2024 12:59 pm Not fair that Baegi from Welcome/Meow Secret Boy gets his own page, but the cat who played Uri does not. She's so much cuter and a better feline actor.

BMR39 Sep 29 2024 12:15 am "Because this is my First Life" is the best and brightest rom-com I have seen among the more than 100 K-dramas I have watched; and dramas from other countries as well! BTIMFL is like one of the favorite novels that I want to read again when I feel low and need to recharge my batteries.

The casting, directing and acting is simply exceptional: every nuance of every moment is precisely right. The frequent close-ups of each character are brilliant. Especially those of Jeong So-Min when she explains Ji-Ho's latest circumstances with the unflinching eyes of the talented young writer that Ji-Ho is. These close-ups make us read fully each character's emotions. In the role of Se-Hee, Li Min-Ki is also incredibly subtle.
Screen-writer Yoon Nam-Joong is exceptional in exploring with genuine depth, truth and warmth the struggles of Yoon Ji-Ho and those of her two very close friends Woo Soo-ri and Yang Ho-Rang as they face career, relationships, marriage, and love challenges. Each individual story is different and convincing.
Little by little we begin to understand everyone. It takes a long time for us to learn why Nam Se-Hee is not the technically brilliant but hilariously wooden and dull man with a ''loan left-brain and a cat right-brain" that his company colleagues say he is. The deep emotional scar that See-Hee carries since his university days is eventually explained in the latest episodes. Any man would deeply miss a great lady like Go Jeong-Min whose beauty, intelligence, dignity and strength are so well played by Lee Chung-Ah. No wonder Se Hee is now scared of being hurt again by accepting his growing love of Ji-Ho; and of hurting her.
The range of emotions in BTIMFL from the deepest to the hilarious makes me like this drama even more. From time to time, Screen-writer Yoon Nam-Joong uses ambitious young drama writer Ji-Ho as her mouthpiece. Because Se-Hee keeps up his high wall of emotionless rationality to the great frustration of Ji-Ho, she hopes that Se-Hee will open his "Room 19" to her. This is a deep idea, which Ji-Ho has learned from a novel by Doris Lessing. The references that Ji-Ho also makes about the simplistic and materialistic comments of Nobel economist Gary Becker about marriage are funny and on-target. Ji-Ho much prefers Goethe's views.
Won-Seok's use of mathematician Godel's theory of uncertainty to explain his love to his gentle, strong but simple Ho-rang is hilarious. To fit in, Ho-Rang then mangles the name of Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame! The way Won-Seok later tells Bo-Mi that he wants to stay with Ho-Rang by comparing her with PC computers and Bo-Mi with Apple computers, which Bo-Mi accepts because that way Won-Seok will not be "reformatted" is also great fun.
Ji-Ho's encounter with Bok-Nam followed by the fearful false alarm is another attractive way for writer Yoon Nam-Joong to widen the range of the drama and explore other emotions.
Every situation is deeply realistic in the context of the patriarchal Korean society at the time, which makes the story also universal. Everyone is imperfect and beautifully human.
A great mystery is why exceptional screen-writer Yoon Nan-Joong never wrote another drama again after BTIMFL . Does anyone know why?

Steve Jul 27 2024 2:00 pm Wow!! Loved this series. I'm so impressed with the storyline and the depth of the characters and how Ji Ho steered events. 2nd time thru I caught a lot more. Especially loved Ji-Ho's commentaries - both comments she made to Se-hee and commentary.

For those who did not like the ending, I wonder what you were looking for. At first I also felt it was odd (and I was frustrated with how obtuse se-hee was being by not confessing on a few occasions) but, as I thought about it, the drawn out ending made more sense. Ji-ho did not want to settle for just "ok". She had to see Se-hee come out of his shell and for that he had to go thru a lot of pain to allow him to show his emotions and true feelings (his Room 19).

I'd love to see other series from the writer(s) whoever they may be. Amazing writing. Wow!!

Chichichi98 Jul 22 2024 3:41 am Probably one of the best dramas I've ever watched. I have been push and pull about starting this kdrama. Glad I've finally watched it and it really did not dissapoint. I really got bored with the recent kdramas that's why watching this in 2024 really feels so fresh. Some of the points that I really liked about this drama: Story line is very simple yet so refreshing and relatable. All of the 3 pairs have different stories that are happening in real life. The plot is on point and not boring. Although on the last 3 episodes are very confusing for me how jiho made it very complicated. But the ending really satisfied me tho. There are so much to learn into this kdrama. Kinda gave me a new light on what marriage really is and how love works from couple to parent-child love. They will really give you each other's perspective and pov and that really made the story really engaging.

Conclusion: 9.5/10!!! The ending really snatched that .5 to the score but still one of the best kdramas I've ever watched. It really worth my time. Its been so long since I was so eager to finish a kdrama. If only I can unwatched this and watch it for the first time again.

Curly Haired Jul 10 2024 8:53 am I love this drama so much. I rewatched it more than 5 times. This is my comfort drama forever and ever. I'll wait for your next project Yoon Nan-Joong Chakkanim<3

Unnie J May 02 2024 5:07 pm I like this drama. Lighthearted, funny, unique characters. Lee Min-Ki played his role to a tee. A better watch than over-rated QoT!!

LOL Apr 18 2024 2:08 am I'd finished it yesterday and it was so good, so fresh. To be honest today's kdramas are a little predicteable to me, so this series was like a fresh air. I really liked the beginning with that funny melancholia, when you cried with a smile on your face. And yeah I feel to that the last two episodes were a little weightless.

okja Feb 03 2024 1:00 am i'll back up "one of the best dramas" comments. and not even just 'k' material...as good as any show i've watched from canada or europe or etc.

lee min-ki and jung so-min are great but they always are so no surprise. the supporting cast is ridiculously good. the direction is spot-on and i personally don't feel the last few episodes were padded at all. some fantastic twists and misdirections along the way.

just a sweet, touching show about believable people and some well done social commentary that never feels forced. 100/10 for what i like in a drama. plus a sweet kitty named 'kitty'.

Michael Jan 06 2024 2:09 am Enjoyed the drama, but agree with a prior comment that the last few episodes felt drawn out.

On another note, does anyone know what breed of cat Kitty/Uri was? Ragdoll? That was a really beautiful cat!

Tanishka Jun 20 2023 2:56 am Drama that'll force you to laugh & cry at times. It's one of the best drama I've ever watched. All the actors played their part really well. Do watch it.

imiz Jun 12 2023 11:38 am i watched this when i turned 30 that same year. toughest year. thank god i ran into this drama. The writer doesnt know she saved me.

lillian Jun 05 2023 12:13 pm this was like... really fun and interesting. it really caight my attention. also im a massive gooner so i loved the cameo for my club haha

Torian May 11 2023 1:09 am This is literally one of my favorite Kdramas and I've watched 100+ dramas. I've loved Lee Min-ki since Spellbound and Jung So-min since Playful Kiss(hated Oh Ha-ni tho lol) They did Amazing here. Also shoutout to the other two couples as well. Their relationships were also interesting. Anyways 10/10

Liz May 10 2023 8:12 pm I liked this very much, second time Ive watched it. I’m a sucker for happy romantic dramas. A very handsome lead. Story was good.

christina Apr 09 2023 1:34 am It's one of those dramas with a name that doesn't attract. I mean the English name. When it comes to comedy, it should be 8.5/10. Storyline is 9.5. In the midst of all the funny and at times, crude dialogue, the writer presented so much social issues. I do agree that the presentation(production) as a whole can be better, as in fewer episodes. Lee Min-Ki fitted the role of Nam Se-Hee like glove. Worth watching.

Reiss Mar 27 2023 11:17 pm I really love this drama, i just finished watch it yesterday. I know i am too late for this but i'll definitely recommend anyone to watch this drama for sure. Maybe everyone will get angry with Ho-rang, but in real life she is so make sense. that's how real life going. instead, I am getting so pissed of with Ji-ho when she decided to leave Se-hee. she is so selfishhhhh. Really, how could she left someone but then came back again. she left him eventhough she knows that Se-hee is going to propose her. (????)

but overall i love the drama, i love Jiho (and jung somin) so much she is the reason i watch this drama. I Really Love Se-Hee Bcs He Is So Cuteeeeeeee!!!!! I want husband like him (in better way).

Haemin Mar 13 2023 8:07 pm I mean, it's a lovely drama. No quarrel about actors either. My problem is that the last few episodes are not only extremely drawn out but also seem completely unnecessary. Like there was no need for them to make things so complicated. I would recommend watching for sure but definately one that is hard to reach the end of. Likely to be a skip-to-the-end kind of drama after like, episode 13.

Shelley Feb 28 2023 2:52 am This is one of my favourite dramas, love the story and the 'gal pals' feel to it also. If I don't know what to watch, I somehow always come back to this one. You really go through all of the emotions watching this drama. It starts off on a more comic note, but don't be fooled; there are some very heartbreaking moments as the episodes go on.

Irma Feb 09 2023 9:12 am Very good Kdrama.. actually i don’t really like watching drama but this one is an exception.. i watched it twice and i still can laugh and cry while watching it.. it’s funny, easy to watch and touching as well.. so in love with this

Amma of 3H Jan 26 2023 3:19 am Very touching drama Make me cry and laugh Really miss jung so-min and lee min-ki in the other drama or movie ???

Jilli Dec 27 2022 6:34 am A complete and stunning Masterpiece, best drama of 2017. Brilliant cast who all were completely flawless. Beyond outstanding OST. This is an essential watch. Better than 90% of Korean dramas ever made. It's unique, addictive, just plain fabulous. Don't listen to silly criticism from people here who can barely construct a proper English sentence in their "review". Watch Because This Is My First Life and learn some valuable life lessons.

Nathaniel B. Nov 26 2022 3:21 pm You can never tell about Kdramas! I absolutely loved this. I don't want to critique it. Sure, it had flaws, but I absolutely loved it. One thing I want to say is that the directors occasional use of extreme close-ups was stunning.

Kat Nov 10 2022 3:40 pm Not a bad drama, but chemistry between characters is week. Lee Min Ki's lips were disturbing. Enlargment wen't wrong and each scene with him, his lips were drawing attention more than his acting. Other than that I have no other complaints about that drama. Had a lot of laugh but could be better.

Ella Oct 31 2022 7:54 am I just finish for the first time watching the drama in Oct 2022. Honestly this drama is good for casual watchers. I enjoy throughout the storyline except I get fed up on ep14. Very draggy but lee min ki save the drama with his acting. Every single character in the drama makes me tired because they're unnecessarily annoying but they're real life character. But anyhow, this drama is good.

Niks Oct 05 2022 6:51 am So many unnecessary characters! Her best friend, Ho Rang is too selfish and annoying!

Renwa Oct 04 2022 12:23 am Looks like there’s a club of serial watchers of this drama…our “go to” drama to feel good. Watched it several times two years ago and came back again. It’s really a WONDERFUL drama. Thoughtful well written script, GREAT ACTORS all around, very funny in parts, beautiful music. This drama firmly stands up to the test of time. Everyone associated with this work should stand proud!

old drama wather Sep 09 2022 12:03 am Ugh! I loved this drama at the start -- and it was absolutely phenomenal for the first 12 episodes. But the plot was stretched out so needlessly it is not just bad -- its actively maddening!!! At first, the philosophical and literature references were all very nice and fitting but then the actions of the female lead became so frustrating!!!

For the first 12 episodes, I was recommending, practically begging everyone to watch this drama but oh god I can't even watch the last 2 episodes on 2x speed it is so frustrating and slow and unnecessarily convoluted. The writers tried to put a Lot of meaning where there was no need just to stretch it out and create a picture of "prefect romance" and "fate" when all this is very bad communication skills, worse social skills, and the female lead thinking she can control people's emotions. If I was the guy I would actually hate her.

Jessica Sep 08 2022 10:00 am My comfort drama. Watched this for the nth times!

K-Drama Fans Sep 07 2022 10:46 am My favorite drama! Always rewatch this drama every time I feel down or failed in life. Such a good story, good plot, and heartwarming. It feels like this drama gives me strength to move in life.

Norik BC Jul 29 2022 5:08 pm Okay put Jung so min in any drama you’ll get success, my second time watching some new show are not as exciting as this ,except Alchemy of soul because Jung so min is in it , she is so adorable and great actress , just love her , this drama is well done , portraying different life styles of 30 years old , the cast is marvelous , Lee min ki , great , Kim min kyu is so cutely beautiful,, some old time favorites too , chemistry is super amongs them all , bravo , director and writer Love this drama

Brian V Jul 26 2022 12:16 pm This show has a similar feel to My Liberation Notes, and even has a main character from that series, although I didn’t recognize him at first. I’m 6 episodes in, and I’m along for the ride. This show relaxes me. It has a nice, easy going flow, with a little bit of humour, and good sub plots.

Jaine Jul 24 2022 1:01 pm Great show, you guys!! The music in ep 7 when he leaves the bedroom!! Perfection!! The choice of the guy with the biggest brightest KDrama smile in juxtaposition with a guy who can't muster a smile!!! Spectacular! The family wedding with the traditional gowns for the moms!! So precious! (I fell in love with South Korea when I lived in Koreatown in Los Angeles and saw those gowns at celebrations there!) This is a show I will watch more than once! Thank you for the entertainment! Kamsahamnida!!

Jenny Jul 21 2022 2:22 am I loved it then. I love it now. It's nothing short of beautiful

Last Drama Jul 12 2022 7:14 pm Better than the dramas airing this season

B Jun 24 2022 6:36 pm Took me two times to watch it for better evaluation. I had a feeling I am missing something.

So, I came to the conclusion that Se-Hee fell for Ji Ho since the very beginning, at the bus station ep.1. He's been showing it before they got married, just never expressed any emotions back then, because he was afraid (as Ma Sang goo said in ep.11).

When Se Hee came home from the wedding and his alarm rang for blind date, he started typing a message, and than he said to himself "what's the point if she arrived home safe?"

When Ji Ho asked him why he doesn't want to marry, he said he proposed to her because IT'S HER! When she was leaving for Namhae he went to the bus station intentionally to give her back the scripts. And when she proposed him there, he asked if she likes him, Ji Ho says no, but he didn't look releived. He had somehow sad look in the eyes, as someone who's just been rejected. The look in his eyes when she said to his father she loves him. He was jealous of Bok Nam, angry/hurt when Ji Ho said she doesn't have a boyfriend infront of him, just to hurt him and he was always waiting for her to go home. And last before expressing his emotions... the smile on his face when she arrived at her parents's house.

He loved her long before she loved him.

That's why Se Hee looks distant. Because he did not portray a usual kdrama male lead that we see in the rom-coms.

I was different here, more realistic how people in their 30s live, society perceptions on marriage.

Murthy R Jun 14 2022 10:41 pm I love this drama. The actors are so natural.

Jasjit May 26 2022 7:51 am I just love Lee Min Ki he is a very subtle and deep and natural actor- fits the role very well. I watched him in Beauty Inside- loved him and his acting in it . Going to watch all his dramas on Netflx . Need to see him more and more . All the best to him - wish he gets all good roles.

Jung so Min is also a very good actress they were really good together. Will watch more of her shows.

Having an arranged marriage is so common in India where to some to know each other and their strong and weak points and grow to love and respect each other - it was very similar . The points picked were good - each couple portrayed and acted very well. I give it a full Thumbs up.

Kyam May 06 2022 12:55 pm I love Nam Se Hee!!!! This role will be unforgotten for my long last time drama.

Art Apr 16 2022 2:03 pm First of all, it took me three times to watch this drama. It is very slow compared to my usual drama but I like the female lead. The male lead personality is almost like watching paint dry. The entire show, he never likes her and the minute he does one thing, she acts like he’s the world. A complete waste of time.

Steffanie Apr 07 2022 7:55 am I could never get tired of watching this over and over again. Seriously 1 of my top 3 favorite dramas of all time. It's deep and poetic.

The actors were perfect for their roles. This drama was made perfectly.

Lee Min-Ki is Love Apr 05 2022 12:50 am Initially, I watched this series because of Kim Min-Kyu but I never thought that I would end up becoming a super fan of Lee Min-Ki now.! He's such an actor! Since then I started watching all his series in netflix. I just finished Beauty Inside and oh my! MIN-ki, you continue to impress me. Subtle but effective acting! I wish you will get more projects. You deserve an award and the world! I will continue to cheer for you, Min-Ki!!!

luluchanq Mar 28 2022 11:53 am even after rewatching this again for i don't know how many times.

this drama should get all the award for everything lmao.

the lead couple chemistry is no joke.

i think se hee is the most saddest mc story i ever watch in kdrama history(i watch alot drama). and ji ho chara is amazing too, failure her dream, her first love is hurting so much and won't let her in. but still fighting the world. meinnn

soo ji, sang goo couple is awesome wingman.

rang, soek couple cringe stupid but still learing how to understand each other even after long time together. thats very good.

very very very good.

Jh Mar 19 2022 9:39 am I never thought that I will like this drama. Plot is good and the chemistry between the leads are on fire. A lot of learnings and realizations after watching this.

Blackmoon Mar 14 2022 3:11 pm One of the best drama in my life! Even though i'm not 30 yet bur it's very relatable and the chemistry between every characters and actors is sooo amazing.. never gonna tired rewatch this!

Sheila M. Gale Feb 14 2022 9:35 am Wonderfully written, excellent actors...heavy hitters. It is as if it was written with each actor in mind. It is like a good book...you read it and sink deeply into it and when you are finished, you place it on the bookshelf. Later, maybe months later, it calls out to you, and you read it again and it is even better the second time.

This is my second time, and I can honestly see myself watching this again. Lee Min-Ki is magnificent in his role. Indeed, no one else could have pulled off these roles as good as the actors and actresses in this. Kudos to each and every one of you. YOU are at the TOP of your game!

Maya Melody Feb 13 2022 1:21 am Many people are asking what happened at the three year mark. Were they married? Were they not? First of all, Se-Hee is 38 years old, not in his early thirties. He is almost ten years older than Ji-Ho which one can see in the occasional generational questions posed throughout whether by Se-Hee, Ji-Ho, Sang-Goo, Soo-Ji's mom, Jung-Min, Se-Hee's father or Ji-Ho's brother.

Before they had their ceremony, Ji-Ho and Se-Hee were prepared to have a simple paper ceremony by applying for and registering their marriage. Once they applied for the marriage license and had the ceremony, they decided to NOT register the marriage to simplify things because they knew it would end within two years. Divorce can be complex and expensive and leave a mark on the female's personal registration card. Because of why they'd gotten married, their divorce was as simple as a mutual agreement to tear up their tenancy-marriage contract which they do together sitting at the dining table. That was their act of divorcing.

When they decided to get back together, while still at that rooftop room enjoying what is truly their honeymoon of being in marital love, they choose to finally go register the marriage they'd applied for before their ceremony. They didn't need to do anything else. They had literally just taken a two-month break from one another by testing up a lease agreement, and then filed their marriage when they decided they lived one another!!

Ji-Ho's brother, on the other hand, applied for a marriage certificate, filed it, moved his girlfriend into his room while Ji-Ho was away on a writing assignment. But he and his wife never got around to having a ceremony. They went straight into their honeymoon and having a baby. Partly why Ji-Ho was homeless to begin with. Remember, it was her deposit, registration, and job which purchased the apartment in which her brother was living as her roommate. Her brother had been living in HER apartment. But her father asserted that because he was the son, he would get first dibs over it even if it was in her name.she didn't have the heart to throw him out once she found out he had gotten married and was technically on their honeymoon! She hadn't even been informed he'd gotten married while she was working. Not even a text!! When she came home to find fancy lingerie in the wash and a girl in his room, she thinks he is a jerk with a hook-up when she finds out the naked girl in his bed is his wife!! She just takes off. She can neither sleep not work under those giggly conditions. Confident she'll be gainfully employed continuing with the same production group, she leaves to find a short-term room rental in a decent area.

This leads me to question the fact that besides obliging her family, Making a morally astounding decision to get married fakely instead of forcing her brother to find his own home or moving back to Namhae with his wife, she steps back and marries Se-Hee in lieu of exercising her rights of ownership. She was an empowered enough woman that when it came down to marrying for a room, or going to Namhae or kicking her brother and his wife out, it was between Namhae or Se-Hee. Towards the end of the series she admits that she had actually fallen in love with Se-Hee long before the bus stop kiss, but only realized she felt something compelling towards him while at the bus stop. She had actually agreed to marry Se-Hee with the hope that he would come to love her before the two years was over. And that she'd rather have even the smallest thing with him than not at all. She had ALWAYS believed in love and the destiny story of the love she was meant to have. She believed she had met her soulmate when she met Se-Hee. She just didn't know how feelings and love were meant to unpack and flow. But she kept trying!!

Despite Se-Hee trying to express himself by asking to sleep in her room again, her hurt and fear finally take over. It had taken him THAT LONG to show her any interest and then the first love of his past life shows up. Because he never expressed himself verbally or clearly, Ji-Ho decided to go sort her pains and angers towards him and see what she would be left with, resentment and more pain OR, love and longing. It turned out to be the latter. So she returned, learned to bake Se-Hee a complex cake as a sweeping gesture. The "wedding cake for their first day as an actual, in-love, married couple!! She was actually a HUGE risk-taker on love. She believed that true love happens only once. She believed it was Se-Hee.

Back in high school her dream was to find her soulmate. It wasn't about writing. It was about finding the love destiny and her life's destiny meant for her. Even though initially not the romantic love she'd wanted, she eventually realized that her life and other dreams, her parents' and brother's lives, her friend's lives and all their hearts became better and happier after she married Se-Hee.

And the home they live in at the end is NOT owned, but leased. They discuss BOTH names being on the lease There is a good chance they bought it with his parents' monies and live there while his father owns it. They BOTH earn A LOT of money by this point at the end. The photos In their home show their travels, with success for both having started three years earlier. Se-Hee's salary doubled when they got an investor plus receivables had increased phenomenally!!

This series is so beautiful and so well-done. Thank you, KDrama, for showing some of the ways true love between sincere people evolves !!!!! ??

Jaine Feb 12 2022 7:44 am To comment on Glen's comment : "I thought See-Hee might have had a mild case of autism or Aspergers. He was a great kisser though!! I still haven't figured out if they were married or not in the end." I thought both he and the girl were so linear and insulated as to both be on the spectrum. It was nice to see the smiles at the end. I think the other two guys with their zeal and their all-in non detached way of communicating gave a nice contrast to the staid emotions of the lead couple. Glen, they showed photos spanning time at the same time the voice over said 'married 3 years' and they were in a newer home with amenities of having more income (like the massage chair). So I assume they married and we were seeing 3 years later which could have been easy to put on the screen like in other shows, but the writer was more philosophical in this screenplay which I did like very much. It was good to analyze what marriage really could be, not should be. I get the title in the last scene but I think Room 19 could have been a good title too, a more layered title, because that concept could have been woven more. What is my room 19 and who do I let in to it....very interesting. And the cat. Wow! Great job cat! and cat trainer!! Love the bus....was it an inversion to the reference to the movie The Graduate and it's sad bus scene. I think so. Also I love who had the baby first of the 3 couples. Such joy!

Leo Feb 07 2022 12:05 pm I didn't expect this drama to be masdfjywevnasdjkfhasdf. hahaha.... I can't express how beautiful this drama is.

Hanna-Dora Jan 26 2022 8:37 am Everyone has a drama that they come back to... for me, it's this one. I don't normally rewatch Kdramas, but I find myself turning this on when I'm sad or having it in the background while cooking. Despite its exceptional merits as a work of art (of which there are many), I mostly come back to it because it's very relatable for me personally, and I always find a piece of new wisdom in it. I can imagine that it's not the most exciting drama for younger viewers and even though it's a romcom, it approaches relationships from a quite different point of view than others in this genre. I'm 33 and a lot of romantic dramas don't appeal to me, I guess I'm old for teenage romances and I certainly don't see relatonships the way I did 15 years ago. So along came this wonder, and I couldn't belive what a gem I found.

The main achievement of this drama is that it presents several different perspectives on love and relationships and all of them are equally mature and authentic. The premise of a contract marriage between a house owner and his tenant may sound weird, but actually, that also strikes as very realistic. When the female lead asks who would get married for a house, the male leads asks back, "why do you think people get married?" It's such a simple interaction that goes very deep. In this drama, two people get married because it mutually benefits them but they are also very open and honest with each other, work together perfectly, respect each other completely, and try to help each other grow and do better in life. And all of that happens before romantic feelings are ignited in them. It's a really mature look at relationships, because it shows that they have all those things that make up a healthy companionship and romance is just the cherry on top. Such a refreshing take, compared to all the larger-than-life romances and grand gestures of the romcom genre in general. The thing is, in real life, compatibility sometimes comes before romance and no matter how exciting undying passion looks in movies, real love often grows from tiny moments, subtle gestures, and a deep bond that needs nurturing. At the wedding, the male lead tells the female lead's mother that he cannot promise making the female lead happy but he can promise not standing in the way of her dreams. And the mother says, how could a person make another one happy? Letting her be herself is a lot more important. No matter how many times I watch that scene, I end up tearing up. It's powerful, raw, exceptional, perceptive writing. The main couple's relationship is such a beautiful, healthy look at the way love really works.

The drama also circles around the theme of marriage through the eyes of the other female characters, one being against it and one wanting it more than anything else. Both views are challenged and both characters grow beautifully throughout the episodes, going deep into their own feelings. It's such an incredible drama with excellent writing that make you cry while also being full of laugh-out-loud moments (omg, the kimchi making scene). I don't know how they did it, but the balance between drama and comedy is just perfect in this one, and the romantic aspect is the most realistic I've ever seen in any drama. And of course, we all fell in love with the cat.

(As a footnote, I'd just like to add that the song "Marriage" is one of the most beautiful Korean songs for me, I'm a sucker for Kdrama soundtracks but they really knocked it out of the park with that one.)

lu Jan 15 2022 3:38 am My rating for this drama: AAAAA The best K-drama in years - under-rated for sure. The Script and acting are first rate. The story-line refreshing ...and brave. Just love the subtlety and humor. Why didn't it win any awards? I want to see more of them.

marilyn Dec 06 2021 11:05 pm thank you for this series! It was delightful and thoughtful and i loved the message at the end of the series. Very courageous to explore ways in which people/couples find their own meaning of love/marriage. The acting was first rate; appreciated the nuances involved in the relationships and how they changed. most happy to have experienced this story.

Rima Oct 27 2021 1:09 pm A Masterpiece!!! A+++ series!

An amazing story, light romantic but not cheesy at all, funny, emotional, relation analyses, lessons of life, love, happiness…. An excellent performance of all the characters, really bravo to all of them! The lead couple, wow, just Top! I really really enjoyed their powerful acting, their chemistry in a special way. Lee Min Ko, an A+ actor, i hope to see more of him. The same goes for Jung So Min!! I really recommend to watch these series, you will enjoy it from epi 1 till the end!! 10/10 ❤️

yeng Oct 05 2021 6:32 am one of the best drama i've watch so far the story is so good it's not boring from start to end perfect 10/10

SugarMmm Oct 02 2021 5:21 am So I really enjoyed the drama ! 10/10 Its not a drama made to be binge watched. Its a slow paced romance story ideal to watch after a long day of work, at night. I feel like the main focus isn't really romance . This drama analyses some interesting questions about life : marriage , love, the standards of life, hapiness...

We see how the life of 3 women in their 30ies is, their struggles, their thoughts, their boldness. And women are reaaaaally inspiring in this story. In here, they are not defined by their love interest, but rather their dreams and decisions. It treats subjects that promotes women problems and empowerment : sexual harassment at work ( and how to break free from it), finding work for women in their 30ies is difficult, marriage shouldn't be the final goal for a women to be happy buuut it is ok to want that too, the dynamics husband-wife and how marriage life shouldn't be and how it should be.

I really loved this story because it is realistic . It is also comforting because the advices given to the characters ,you feel like they are adressed to you too , that's how relatable and close I felt to the story.

Jenny Sep 29 2021 2:23 pm I couldn't move on!

This drama was beautiful, So beautiful I wished with all my heart it didn't end. The first couple's communication and openness was just amazing. How they could talk about anything and everything and be open...the chemistry, the funny moments and the realness of it. This is a 100/100 for me. Totally worth it

mazy Sep 18 2021 1:13 pm 6/10 i dont like the drama, it's so slow that i get sleepy anytime i watch this. but anws i only finish it bc my friend told me so

lili Sep 12 2021 4:22 pm i love this drama

LL Sep 04 2021 2:42 pm Solid 6.5/10 for me. I didn't really like the main couple... I preferred the side relationships especially Woo Soo-Ji and Ma San-Goo's. I also liked Won-Seok and Ho-Rang's relationship but I kinda hated their break-up. Though in the end, I understand that it was necessary for their relationship to grow. The ending of the drama was also pretty good.

Lili Sep 03 2021 11:11 am For me 10/10???

underrated gems Sep 01 2021 11:25 pm 7/10

rio Aug 20 2021 9:34 pm 7.5/10 for me The plot was great but it was slow compared to a lot of romcom kdramas that ive seen. It was such a wasted opportunity that we didnt get to see much of them when they finally decided to start a real relationship. I might get hate for saying this but I felt like Soo ji and Sang goo’s love story was a lot better and interesting. I was frustrated with the last two episodes because there wasnt any content to it. The pacing was so slow that it made me bored but I still finished it because I wanted to see how it would end.

Jil Jul 28 2021 2:55 pm What makes this show great is the leassons you will learn from it.

I need season 2 Jul 28 2021 8:01 am This drama is a masterpiece ❤️ The plot,charters and story line are perfect. I really love Jung So Min and Lee Min ki they deserve a recognition for the best couple and best acting. I watched it thrice but still can't overcome their chemistry, they really cute together ❤️

I still cannot move on from this drama Jul 26 2021 11:04 am Favorite Romcom!!!!!! 10/10!!!!!!!! Definitely recommending this to all of you! Everyone! Watched this drama on 2017, when it was airing. Have rewatched this drama like 5 times now. Romance between main leads developed so flawlessly. Althought male character is a bit too stiff as people said, i think that is the exact reason why this drama is so interesting! You will see character development in him, and what makes it better that his feelings towards female lead was reason why he changed. Such a good example of romance story, it brings more weight to the story. Cinematography wise is also good. Background music is also good. Especially editing work in this drama made me contemplate--nice editing really brings great impact on a show. Especially i really like how it really helps comedy scenes in this drama well delivered to the audience, as comedy in this drama is so real (maybe without nice editing, we could not see it as comedic scenes). This drama beat Reply1988 as my favorite korean drama. And its still no.1 on my list. I wish i will bump into another great romcom drama or maybe better than BTIMFL. If you still unsure to start to watch this drama, just try one episode and if you find yourself craving for another episode, go on till the end!

MARY CATHERINE DE-ALA Jul 20 2021 10:55 pm From all the k dramas I ever watch this one is my favorite. It is very unique, good plot twist , and good characters. And I just cant get enough watching this drama. It is very different from the usual I drama that I watched. 100000/1000000. I'm gonna miss See Hee, Jihon and kitty. Part 2 pls. Highly recommended this drama.

Roya Jul 03 2021 5:34 am This the one of my favorite kdramas.I have watched it up to 4times(once every year) I can’t just get enough of this drama. It is very different from the usual kdrama I ever watched.12/10 please watch highly recommended. Season 2 pleasssss

Maya Jun 08 2021 12:33 pm How old is Se-hee?

Dramanoob Jun 02 2021 7:08 am Despite slightly boring bits from the side stories, this has to be one of the finest romance dramas in kdramaland.

Cain May 05 2021 5:26 pm Ok now I'm gonna talk a character that you need to have patience the most: Won-seok.

While I understand his passion and innocent, in another POV, he could be called self-centred. He hardly try to understand his GF and doesn't have marriage plan despite have been dating for 7 years.

Poor Horang.

Cain May 03 2021 9:17 am A very interesting concept of marriage. The guy is also a fact oriented person which I really love. He is just like me except that he is a bit more extreme in that regards.

I can't see why I have to stop watching this. Now onwards to episode 4

ethereal Apr 26 2021 5:10 pm i’d love to see the main leads reunite again, i’d be satisfied even if they just appear as a side character / cameo (like in wwwsk). although the chances are low since it’s been a while since the drama came out. but personally i love their chemistry :))

as for the drama itself, it is packed with moral values, 8.5/10 for me bcs it’s a bit slow & we are starved from romance scenes but it’s fine lmao. that’s why i’d love to see them reunite bcs i wanna see more from them.

Sheila Apr 19 2021 7:43 am You'll feel how to fall in love. Super love this drama especially when Ji Ho smile, anyone can relate. I'll surely recommend this to others.

another stranger Apr 15 2021 6:59 am This Is My Favorite Drama from all the directory drama of mine. like seriously. actually, i love how the ending in every episode. how the title showed jiho's every first time after with sehee. i love it sometimes like related literally.

and sehee is so cute. this movie is so cute. i love the female second lead, so chill and just let sehee with jiho. thats so relieved. i think there will be like rivaly or something, but she just so chill about it. not so much tense, but easy watching. 9,5/10 cause perfection just belong to God lol

Pacoon Apr 10 2021 10:28 pm I never understood what happened to Jung So-Min's character. From episode 10, she started acting strange as if she didn't know anything, or she was half asleep, or she drugged all the time.

Ugly Ogre Apr 10 2021 3:08 am This is so far the cutest drama I’ve watched. While it’s a comedy, I still cried. The ending was perfect in my opinion. Definitely a feel good watch

Fullsun Mar 16 2021 10:50 am I know this too late but please make it this drama for season 2 i need more, and i cant move on from this drama??

Paige L McQueen Mar 15 2021 3:34 pm This is one of my favorites. <3

nhungpham Mar 13 2021 2:58 am i watched this drama three times . When i start watching kinds of Korean drama , i watched this drama first. Three years later in 2020 i watched it again . And now one year later in 2021 , when the pandemic is happening i watch it again and i fall in love with the character Nam Se Hee . . I think he is my boyfriend and husband style in the future . Furthermore , i like the music of it . The music name Marriage so touching and i love it . I will watched it whenever i am sad . This drama is one of my favorite dramas . This drama is masterpiece.

kpopandgrime Feb 25 2021 2:56 pm I got a sudden urge to leave another comment after I have decided to download this whole drama to watch this timeless drama in the near future. I have already written a comment back in december 2018 but I must say this drama is one of the best Kdramas I have ever watched (for somones whos watched over 300+ kdramas).

After all these years of watching so many wonderful kdrama shows, I have decided to make a top 10 list and this drama comes in 3rd place without hesitation. Daebak !!!!!

If it wasnt for Historical dramas like (Gu Family Book and Moon Lovers), this Perfect drama would have secured the first spot; for sure!!!!

Love From London

Blanca Astte Feb 14 2021 10:57 pm I’m getting ready to watch it for the third time, loved it, very nice film, wonderful casting..

Someone Feb 14 2021 5:29 pm I liked this drama a lot and I can't believe for the first time I saw an ex girlfriend so sweet and lovable and I also liked the girl working in the company she was also very funny and adorable

curry Feb 07 2021 2:54 pm This is so much more complex than it seems. I never thought I’d consider watching dramas all day an authentically valuable experience until this. Coming to understand the underlying messages that weren’t (and definitely didnt need to be) explicitly said made it all the more rewarding.

Break down the message of the narrative with an open heart !! Its a precious hidden gem, but I can def guess why it didnt go mainstream lmao.

Pink Feb 07 2021 7:14 am The drama is simple and the delivery is good. I like the 3 friend different personality and story. The casting was good to deliver simpliest drama and make everything is worth to watch.

I am a little shocked to see lee min ki at his role but it was good.

Abe noboru Feb 06 2021 7:45 am The useless role goes to female lead brother

Fern Jan 10 2021 3:42 am I am curious with the lady who sells that customized bra... she looks familiar... who is she?

misslu Jan 09 2021 8:23 am One of my lifetime favorite dramas. The whole episodes are calm, soothing, with necessary aesthetic and conflicts. I am currently stressing out over life, so I prefer dramas of this kind. My another favorite is A Piece of Your Mind. Both dramas are giving off similar vibes, and the female lead’s characters are strong under calm demeanor with likeable attitude, so it’s easy to find it very relatable.

Sham Dec 17 2020 9:34 am I love the story and the leads. The acting is so natural and beautiful . I’m so glad to see women in a strong light . Even at the saddest of moments , the main lead is humble and composed . The main male lead is played beautifully . Only on episode 8...really enjoying it . This is my second drama with Lee Min Ki and I have really enjoyed his acting .

Highly recommend this drama !!!!!!

CAT LOVER Dec 06 2020 11:40 am Love love love this drama....Its so underrated. They design all the characters so well and no unnecessary dragging dramas. No nonsense exaggeration.....Really good romcom that will keep you smiling throughout the 16 episodes. The chemistry between the leads is superb. The cast team did great job acting. Especially the male lead.....his acting was great. He managed the character so well. Oh and the cat is so cute. Love how its the life story of ordinary people and it touched based lots of Korean culture and beliefs without overdoing it. Highly recommended.

yoobin Nov 26 2020 10:35 am i just finish this drama and i can't move on from the stories. this is the best kdrama i've watch. i love all the couples chemistry specially se-hee and ji-ho chemistry. and the OST also good. i highly recommend!

uri Nov 22 2020 11:22 am This drama is so underrated!!! Don't think twice whether to watch it or not. This drama will not disappoint you. Fresh and calm drama. The ost of this drama if wonderful too hehe

sasaenghwal Nov 21 2020 10:47 am Nam Se Hee is me, his mind is alike my mind. how the writter make a perfect character like Nam Se Hee. hoho

arin Nov 07 2020 9:05 pm This is my absolute favourite drama!! It's so beautifully written, with amazing dialogue and characters. And this is coming from someone who's been watching kdrama since 2005. I highly reccommend!

MinMin Nov 04 2020 5:07 am I really love this drama and I'm an avid fan of Ms. Jung So-Min, I can't move on and I watch this twice a year since release, their chemistry I really love it, I hope there's a season 2 and they can develop more intimate relationship (in the drama) I'm hoping that they will become closer but that's the charm of their relationship ?

Monica santos Oct 28 2020 11:14 pm The best Kdrama i've seen so far. I cannot seem to move on from the love story se-hee and ji-ho. I've downloaded the series and watch episode 1 to 16 every time i feel bored, i cant sleep , or stuck in traffic jam. It lightens my mood, it makes me feel in love and makes me think over the choices i made and will make.

I love Ji-ho's character for a girl of her age and circumstances. Something youngsters must emulate. refined, modest, behave but she has surprising side that i can relate to.

Lee Min-Ki gave justice to Se-Hee's character. He brought Se-Hee to life and never failed to catch my very critical taste when it comes to men.

The lines are superb, the views, the experiences and how they put it to use, it's as if im with them in every line of the story. Even the supporting stories on the side, they are meaty and full of substance. i hope to find another like this in my lifetime.

bonbon Oct 22 2020 8:44 pm daebak!!!!!!! Se Hee and Ji Ho very adorable chemistry of both

Against Cheating Oct 22 2020 10:37 am This show is in my top 3. Se-He and Ji-Ho are so funny by being serious. They are my favorite couple of any show I’ve ever watched.

The supporting cast was also very good and funny.

I would love to see a season 2. I bet these two would make their kid sign a contract in order to be born and raised by them.

Joan Oct 20 2020 1:58 am It's been a week since I finished this drama! I'm still stuck in this drama esp with their OST. Season 2 pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nisa Oct 19 2020 7:56 am Highly recommended!!! 10/10. This drama is so underrated and must have gotten more attention. The phrases that they used here are work of art! Rewatched this twice now and still so good :)

Flaire Oct 15 2020 3:05 pm Can't move on til now! This dama's a gem. Glad I've found it!!

Jan Elle Oct 12 2020 10:25 am The day you just realized that they were secretary kim's parents.like, yeah i'm outdated hahaha

airah lee Oct 04 2020 7:44 am The drama is really addicting you will really look forward what's gonna happen to their relationship I hope korea made more kdrama like this all the characters deliver their roles well I Will Miss The Cast And The Drama ??

james Sep 14 2020 5:17 pm This drama really surprised me - I liked it way more than I thought I would - although I'm not sure if I'd have stuck it without Esom - who for me stole the show

Erika mia Sep 12 2020 11:56 am Can't help to comment after re-watch this drama on 2020. Lol. I watched it for the first time on 2017, I was waiting for every upcoming episode since it has been a ongoing drama. Just like anyone else, I didn't expect anything. I rarely finish any drama. But turns out I love this drama.

I love the character development, the feeling development between See Hee and Ji-Ho. Especially after all this time they were together as a married couple without feeling, finally See Hee had a feeling for Ji Ho. The chemistry feels so natural. This drama is also filled with fresh comedy that often makes me laugh. The story itself feels realistic (not really realistic, but the situation that potrays the real korean marriage tradition).

Well, I kinda feel empty for 2 last episodes. They spend their time on their own to thinking about so many things until they decided to fix their relationship. But that's okay, in the real life people needs me time to think clearly.

Overall, it's an awesome drama. I enjoy every minute of it hahaha. I would love to recommend to my friends. Definitely worth to watch! ?

jen Aug 31 2020 2:31 pm Bok-Nam...!!!! <3

Marathon24 Aug 25 2020 6:20 am Love this drama so much. Didn't expect it to be this sweet and romantic but now.... gosh I still can't move on. The OST was also soo good. I love Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min here. I even watched Secretary Kim just becuse they make cameo appearance as young Mi So's parents. The only episode that I like in Secretary Kim was the one with LMK dan JSM in it. LOL

Cuds est moi Aug 20 2020 12:27 pm This is the most sweet story I've ever watched, well it's okay to found this a bit late right..

SJacintaTan Aug 05 2020 2:18 am Re-watched it after we found it on Netflix that we just subscribed it and I must admit that this drama is a timeless gem. It examines issues that today’s unmarried, dating and even married couples I. Asian societies face, whereby the most important ones are being open and communicating honestly with each other. But issues like how young couples are constantly being held to society’s expectations when it comes to marriage (ie “good daughter-in-law disease) and dating (does it mean love?) make this realistic and thought-provoking.

Paula Aug 01 2020 4:49 am This drama is made by the brilliant supporting stories, especially the one with CEO Ma and Esom, is his name Park Byung Eun, so funny and vulnerable and a great storyline for them. Also the other couple’s story was good, the younger ones, very cute. Lee Min Ki is good at acting dorky characters and weirdos, but he is just too skinny in this, like a long stick. He put on condition for Beauty Inside and looks better, there he acts another weirdo, his forte, but he is brilliant with SEO Hyun Jin. Not sure he had chemistry with Jung So Min, perhaps it was her fault.

Ending was a bit cliche but a good drama. Watched it all. Not much around at the moment after Crash Landing and Something in the Rain.

marcheleven Jul 25 2020 5:53 pm My fifth times watched this romcom, loves the Se Hee character so much. His looks, his awkward, his odd all, I love it. God bless you Lee Min Ki.

lovely s Jun 22 2020 8:21 am Such a lovely hidden gem, with a fresh take on relationships - it really reflects the world we live in now, and isn't just an unrealistic rom com. All the acting is superb, as is the storytelling. Very pleasant watch, can't recommend enough! This will be on my list of favourites.

b Jun 20 2020 11:47 am One Of The Best RomComs Ever. this drama is very heartwarming. the concept is not like other romcoms'. there are no cliche scenes and no breaking up over ridiculous reasons and crying over it. i hope kim min suk gets a lead role like this again. the character developments are very nice to watch. im glad that the characters arent annoying at all.

Steffanie Jun 19 2020 5:53 am BTW, Fun Fact:

It was exciting to see Ji Ho and Se Hee play as the parents of Mi So, the lead character in "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?"

Steffanie Jun 19 2020 5:46 am Watched this twice already. I will probably watch it again some time in the future. This is one of the very few dramas I'll keep on re-watching.

Just like the other comments here, I didn't expect much when I first viewed this. I was just looking for something new to see. I did not expect to LOVE this.

Every aspect of this was perfect. All the details from the story, the script, every single cast (even the minor ones), the , etc. Kudos for a job well done. cinematography, OST,

Bebang Jun 12 2020 12:38 pm My top 1 on the list, hands on!! Not gonna lie I still can't get over it with the way that I am still commenting about this after a year that I've watched this drama. From the cinematography, ost, timing of the plot, the script, characters and their acting... Just perfect. Especially their OST! No regrets at all. You'll have no regrets and you will just love every minute of it as well as the lessons that it brings out for the viewers.

Vitri Jun 06 2020 2:44 am I don't know why ..I can't move on from this drama. I've watched it for how many times but it feels like this drama has just been launched. I really like their chemistry. the story line is nothing boring in each episode. I love the way PDnim wrap every single scene. I love this drama so much. I will wacth this drama May be twice in a year. If I wacth the first episode..I can't stop and should continue till the end. Thank for PDnim, all the cast, all the staff , writers, and thank you to all who took part in this drama. I really love the story.

hui May 25 2020 7:53 am At first, I didn't expect much. I just watch it out of boredom. I even hesitated. But somehow I decided to watch it. Here I am, now I'm total amazed in every minute of it. It's a fresh plot and fascinating story. I love how they portrayed public's assumption about marriage. The director, the writers, all of the staff, and the casts did a great job. I could say this is one of the best korean romcom drama.

yvette lune May 11 2020 3:50 am I started this drama with low expectations. Because I'm in need of a fresh, new drama, while waiting for the other dramas to update every week, I decided to give this one a try.

After finishing the first episode, I got hooked to watch more. It's getting really interesting, and, of course, like tons of other reviews had said, not your typical rom-com. It has so many relatable values and quotable dialogues. I love the chemistry between both leads. I fell in love with other characters as well, especially Ma Sang-Goo. I think he's a great person, a husband material, and a very reliable friend who always be there for his friends and help solve their problem.

Do you realize that both Se-Hee and Won-Seok never really help Sang-Goo solve his problems? Because he can solve it on his own. Soo-Ji is also very fascinating. Among the six characters, I feel related to her the most. She's very cool, strong, and independent.

Overall, I must give it 9.5/10. Why I left out 0.5 after all the satisfying comments? Because I felt off with Bok-Nam. Yes, he does play a great role in waking Se-Hee's protectiveness towards Ji-Ho, but after that he doesn't play an important role. When he first appears in the story, I find his character really interesting and would like to dive more into this triangle love story, but I guess this drama is not my cup of tea as they want to focus more on the relationship between three main couples, without the 'real' nor 'important' third-wheel character. Although, I notice they put an extra portion for the accountant who doesn't even appear in the important characters list. I wish Bok-Nam would have a more 'deathly' effect for Se-Hee and Ji-Ho's relationship, that's why I feel a bit disappointed.

But overall, this drama is so satisfying to watch. Thank you writer-nim and producer-nim! And thank you for all the actors!

Mitch May 04 2020 1:24 pm What happened???? First 12 episodes were great, just flew by, fun etc etc...it flowed. Then it became about books and philosophical nonsense from 13 onwards....how is that related to anything? And then....she literally just left after telling everyone she will date him afterwards...she just went. And then after god knows how long...baked a cake for him????? On what

Balibubalibu Apr 18 2020 10:39 pm I loooooooooove this drama so much. Ive watched it more than 5 times i think?? i love how this drama is not your cliche rom-com but instead show how relatable relationships are with the 3 main couples. And i like the fact that there is no real bad person in this drama lol. Anyway ive always tried to recommend this drama to everyone around me but they didnt seem to have any interest to watch it. I guess they're missing out something great

Dii aa Apr 14 2020 1:26 am I have always loved Jung So Min and had been anticipating Lee Min Ki's face on the screen. First time i watched it, i was thoroughly happy. I ended watching in hoping they would end up together again. But somehow i didnt quite like the roller coaster ride of shouting from Ho Rang. She was too noisy and i understood why the actress had accepted the offer to play the character lol

K Apr 09 2020 9:54 pm ok, i started watching this without any expectation but this drama managed to surprise me. I love this drama so much! And why is that? First off all, it’s not your typical rom-com contract marriage type of drama. It’s really funny, not cliche, and realistic! It discuss a lot of social issues in korea, especially regarding marriage. Also, the acting of both ml and fl is so goooddd. I dare to say this is one of my most favorite romcom series, seriously don’t hesitate to watch!

Lyn Apr 08 2020 8:32 am Wow still had the feels when i first watched it...this kdrama has lots of quotable words, casts are the best too..

Anonymous Commenter Apr 07 2020 6:32 pm I love how Lee Min Ki has so much voice cracks in this drama! It just cracks me up every time I hear his voice crack

Babybean Apr 07 2020 1:08 pm I love this drama very much. This is not your typical contract marriage story. Excellently written. Jung So Min is pretty but not in an unreachable level, which makes her perfect for this. And of course Lee Min Ki, oppa! He has great comedic timing. His character here is like straight out of anime ? I’ve watched too many dramas and there are quiet a few that I could say this. Like Mohyul in Six Flying Dragons, it’s as if they are anime characters made in to live action. This is my second time watching this drama and I rarely rewatch. That neocortex line from the first episode is my favorite. Also “the algorithm of my life should not be broken.” Haha! I also love the reference from Room 19. Rang and Seok’s story is very relatable for longtime couples. Soo ji is a really cool girl. This isn’t just a love story. And can I say the best character of all is the cat of course! Always a scene stealer. This is a must-watch for all the hot young bloods and the late bloomers out there.

Ellll Apr 07 2020 9:31 am Wooooowww I was really not expecting a lot, started this drama out of boredom, but I‘m pleasantly surprised!! It’s soo good! Not the typical cliches and very refreshing characters!!

Anitas 233 Mar 30 2020 8:33 pm Loved every minute of it ......

Icarusfalls Mar 27 2020 7:07 am they deserve every award!!! TT

Kdramaaddict Mar 17 2020 4:58 am I had very low expectations getting into this drama. I was pleasantly surprised. The writing, the dialogue, the characters. They way it was written, avoided the cliches and pitfalls of a typical kdrama. It’s like a breath of fresh air.

Safri Mar 10 2020 8:18 pm Everything about this drama is perfect .. ? namu namu mani joa ?

Yow Feb 14 2020 8:42 pm still can't believe that they start as miso's parents at what's wrong with secretary kim hahaha lol

Mar Feb 10 2020 12:41 pm This is one of my favorite korean drama of all time ! It has a slow paced story, yet the story builds perfectly, which I like very much, it starts slow, and have a lot of throwback scenes within the story, I think this scenes are very good to keep the viewers intrigued !

and I enjoyed every episode of it. The characters in the dramas, both main and supporting are very unique compare to other dramas that I have watched, they have their own charming personalities that captivates your heart,

The chemistries of the actors and actresses are also very good, they’re able to bring those romance alive, and they made me cry also,.. Moreover, this drama is relatable in every aspect of life, And it is able to capture your heart from the start, I love it !

Jpoper Feb 10 2020 10:58 am I like this drama. The chemistry of the two main leads are no joke. I enjoyed it more than I expect.

gath Jan 30 2020 8:55 am one of best korean drama. really recommended ❤️

Ann Jan 28 2020 8:59 pm Remarkably strong and fresh character writing for a K drama. Main leads very likable, but also female lead is relatable, she felt realistic and not one-dimensional, and the male lead was not the typical power ceo or quirky toy. Also the secondary cast is very strong - they too felt more realistic and well-rounded than most K dramas and never felt like filler. Best (as in, natural) dialogue I've come across in these types of shows. And of course the acting is fine.

jaynekicks Jan 24 2020 6:53 pm I started watching this because I was curious about Lee Min-Ki being cast as the main lead. He doesn't exactly fit the formula. It quickly because obvious why he was cast. He fits the role so well. Although he is meant to be a weirdo, they gave him a certain wisdom that offset the psycho vibe. This kdrama just snuck into my heart. I binge watched it in 3 days! Nice one guys!

James K Jan 10 2020 10:34 am Loved this show . Has what makes kdramas great Jung so min was in the first drama I ever watched ( M Kiss ) ten years ago ! and I've been watching ever since . Highly recommend this show . Wonderful.

epz Jan 03 2020 4:55 am this is a great drama. the actors are really good.

b Dec 27 2019 11:23 am this drama kinda warm my heart even tho the flows are very slow but its kinda relatable to many people and I love how they portrayed the role and this drama kinda makes me realize how much I waste my life tho ahahaha.

charlotte Dec 27 2019 7:14 am A Kdrama that is lot of life realization. Ilovethis also the characters

genji Dec 22 2019 3:11 am hmm wasnt a bad story. thought it was slower than the other stuff i though it would me more unique. it wasnt they started to get together pretty late. and it was more drama than anything not just main couple but the second lead . and the way the ji-ho played with se-hee feelings just to be certain of something. tbh i felt bored on last episode not sure if it was cuz i saw it all in one shot. or nah it was still entertaining cuz Ma Sang-Goo and soo-ji couple lol

J Jing Dec 21 2019 7:50 pm almost finishing ep 9 but somehow i felt like writing something not a review btw. this drama is kinda different from the usual i guess. as we have more things going on with the ppl around our main couple. than with them.i gotta say for some reason i just love Ma Sang-Goo. tho sometimes im like my dude wtf MAN UP and get over that woman. i just cant hate him.sadly doesn't seem's like hes a popular actor.as romance goes. there is se* kiss and shit for the ppl around our main couple. tho our couple got a cute thing going on there so i hope it will progress till the ending. all in all i'd still recommend.

gretani Nov 11 2019 1:20 am My friend recommended this to me because of the cat. And of course, I liked Lee Min-ki's character because he is my male version. I get annoyed with the societal BS because that's not all there is in life. His logic makes sense. I think he is an INTJ, a first for a protagonist. And of course, Goyangi is just the cutest cat!!!!

Z Oct 12 2019 10:31 am I just notice that Lee Min-Ki and Jung So-Min are both in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim on episode 10. They are the parents of Secretary Kim. Is this the part two of Because This Is My First Life? ☺️

Beruang Sep 09 2019 6:25 pm Good drama & nice script

Yoora Sep 07 2019 4:25 am I like it so much and have watched it countless times. I need more relateable drama like this. Someone give recommendation pleaseeeee.

suzy Jul 07 2019 10:27 pm I bet many people can relate to this drama. I love how the drama flows. It's so warm and cozy filled with love excitements and sentiments. The storyline is somehow realistic. Hoping for more kdramas like this.

mira Jun 19 2019 2:39 am actually i really frustrated with Nam Se Hee character, like when is he going to change? when is he going to show his emotion? when is he going to stop talking in formal ways? it was really dapdaphae, maybe because my character is alike with Yoon Ji Ho's. BUT I LOVE THIS STORY LINE SOO MUCH!! It's very different with other drama, really realistic, it makes us think 'differently' Good job to the writers, and the casts!!

Gyura Jun 08 2019 12:08 am Best script. Good plot. The line of script really well written.

billie May 02 2019 1:01 am so heartwhelming and funny at the same time. I love the characters!!!

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr May 01 2019 12:52 pm watch it for the second time! amazing, and... so light but deep one of two drama that I rewatched.. the other was go back couple

tingcnunez Mar 28 2019 6:43 am This is the best Korean drama I have watched so far... with an amazing story that is so well written... the cast is perfect for all the roles, both lead and support.. It is very romantic but without the cheesiness of other romcom dramas. I can watch this over and over and still feel giddy to see Se-hee and Ji Ho fall for each other. I love all the characters but special mention to my favorites, Ma Sang-goo, Bo-mi and Ji Ho's mom, they are all exceptionally funny...Congratulations to the cast and the writers, the director and the production people, you have done a great job!... I hope to see more Korean dramas in this calibre in the future...

mimzy56 Mar 07 2019 6:25 am i love this dramas it's funny and cute ... i enjoyed watching it <3 <3 i give it 9.7/10

Arifega Feb 20 2019 9:53 am i've viewed many kdrama i believe that one has best script and fascinating story. we are able to be aware of perspective about marriage of all the character. congratulations for author.

Farah Izzaty Feb 17 2019 10:06 pm I watched What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim and i notice the parents of Kim Miso is the lead in this drama. Definitely gonna watch this drama right after I finish watch the Secretary Kim’s cuz i had the idea that they might be continue (as in getting married and had children as in Secretary Kim but then the ending might be sad as Jung Somin died in Secretary Kim).

Hahah. Dont bash me, this is just my imagination so lemme keep it this way!

Icha Feb 12 2019 7:55 am I just want to highly appreciate this drama, truly one of a kind compare to other romcom drama, a real masterpiece. I've beem falling in love with everything, every parts are flawless. Well written, well directed and well acted, awesome! The only drama that I watch for more than 5 times, just because this is the first beautiful and memorable drama for me. Thanks tvN, thanks PD, thanks writer, thanks actors and all crews of this drama! It's been more than a year and I still can't move on, but that's fine ?

Zinu Feb 07 2019 2:27 pm One of the best drama i have ever seen. There is so much i can learn from this drama. I cried and laughed together. The whole story is so daebak. Thank you writer-nim, director-nim, all the cast and staff for make a such beautiful and wonderful drama. I hope i can watch this kind of drama again in the future!

Renn Feb 05 2019 10:43 pm best written kdrama ever. i love this kind of drama. thanks to the writer.

Myr Feb 03 2019 1:45 pm I really loved everything about this drama , it's a light one ! I enjoyed it so much , it was something to look forward to after a long day totally recommend , wasn't bored not even a second!

Fev Jan 30 2019 12:42 pm Really good drama, deep story, good chemistry and nice ending.

ppneto Jan 22 2019 7:28 pm I have alread watched four times.It is one of my favorites.

kpopandgrime Dec 18 2018 5:37 pm my first life, has already become one of my favorite dramas; there was not a single moment I found boring and it really had a unique story. I would definitely recommend this underrated drama (is much better than GOBLIN for me personally).

loved the whole cast and they just had that smoooth chemistry and the whole story had an interesting take on marriage which I haven't seen anywhere else.

Love From London

rhasa Dec 11 2018 11:43 pm My best drama of all time!! I learned and experienced this drama so much, everything in this drama amaze me! Good screen and script!!

Nat Nov 09 2018 4:23 pm a perfect 10! I can't find a flaw with this drama. It was very heartwarming! This is by far my favorite kdrama.

Woori fan Nov 08 2018 5:02 am I'm so in love with this drama. One of the best kdrama I've ever seen. I rewatch this drama for 4 times in this year. I very love it and never get bored. Touching story, great drama, great cast especially the male lead and the female lead. I love Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min. Than you for the writer Yoon Nan Joong for amazing script. Good Job!

im meahri Nov 05 2018 11:08 am hello. i love this drama so much. i love the character of kim min kyu that play a role of yoon bok nam. he has a good charm and a great actor so far. i can't get enough of the scene when ji ho is expecting that bok nam is a dog. i also like when won seok play silly towards ho rang that he said ho rang has a dead skin under her nails but he wanted ho rang to see the ring. the propose are so sweet i hope i can get a propsal like that too. but unfortunately won seok make a biggest decision in his life to breakup with ho rang. ho rang must be so sad because she wanted to marry him but the tabble has turned.

love Nov 01 2018 11:06 am love this drama. still cant move on this drama ? The plots are very fresh and unique. really recommended to all kdrama lovers! And check out their ost. All of them are good!

fan Oct 24 2018 7:59 am finished this drama today ...... really loved it.. this is the love story which i want in my life...small and simple.. i'll watch this drama again after my exams... must watch

Slee Oct 19 2018 9:55 pm One of the most inspiring scripts ever! Haven't seen this level of romance k drama in a very long time. Standing ovation to screenwriter!

Erifel Oct 18 2018 9:13 am This is sweetest drama for me by far. The acting was simple but has a big impact. I cried multiple times while watching this. And the script was amazing. ?. Hope they'll make more kdrama with this kind of theme.

Haibara Oct 16 2018 12:15 pm Guess who cried the moment he eneter the salon?

yjh Oct 02 2018 1:09 am i'm watching this drama more than 3x a year very very recommended reality drama it has some poetry that i rarely getting used by it after watching this drama, i wanna looking for the books that they mentioning here. i'm so addicted with this drama, i think i'll never get bored by it

redbeangal Sep 09 2018 1:17 pm This drama is so underrated! I fell in love with the main couple...their chemistry was so good and I loved how honest they were with each other! They aren’t afraid to speak up when they felt uncomfortable with each other and it was quite refreshing in my opinion. I could watch Ji Ho and Se Hee interact all day....their relationship development was great! Not to mention, the soundtracks blend so well with the scenes...Plus, you won’t be disappointed by the kiss scenes ;) The side stories were interesting as well as they also touch on other issues one would face in a relationship. The drama can seem slow to some but I quite liked the pace this drama was going at. It was nice watching this unspoken trust and love form between Ji Ho and Se Hee. All in all, the writing, acting, filmography and soundtracks of this drama were fantastic to me and I truly believe it needs more love! I will definitely look out for future dramas written by this writer! ^^

Carol Aug 24 2018 6:33 am Newly found drama. I've been searching for dramas to watch suddenly i remember an amazing actress from Playful kiss. I looked up to what shes doing now and I find this drama interesting .

Pop Aguilar Aug 14 2018 10:15 am I just so love this drama! Every acting suits well with the character they potrayed! I am at awe! This is really truly worth watching! ??

Migthy Thor Aug 04 2018 8:43 pm I can't help but SMILE (",) This drama is truly AWESOME in every aspect! I just LOVE it to the max! I super-duper highly RECOMMEND this drama to everybody! Oooops, 15 and above only. CONGRATULATIONS to the entire staff, production crew, personnel and cast. (Jung So-Min is indeed beautiful while Lee Min-Ki may not appear to me so handsome and debonair but he's really very charismatic and charming !!!) I just can't help but fall in-love with drama over and over again!

PSJisLove Jul 23 2018 10:33 pm This is just... Simply Amazing! Watched it twice already but still can't get enough of these two. And the side stories? They are all worth watching for. I love the friendship among the three girls. Story wise and character wise, this is a must watch! I just can't get enough of Ji Ho and Se Hee. I would love to see them in another project together as main leads again. <3

dng Jul 21 2018 9:10 am It's sooooo good!! The feels...really good, indeed!

yomna Jul 20 2018 5:38 am I could talk about how much i love this kdrama and it will never amount to how much i actually love it. I remember watching each and every episode so intently there never was a dull moment, seriously do yourself a favor and watch it. I’m gonna rewatch it because it’s that good. I also love the lead actor so much no one else would fit the role like he did.

Bri Jul 13 2018 1:55 am This drama was such a pleasure to watch! Calm and slow-paced, but never boring, I loved every minute of it.

Seeing Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min play a couple again in their cameos in "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" was such a nice surprise! It made me want to rewatch the show all over again ?

Hearteu Jul 12 2018 4:37 pm Looking back for this after i watch secretary kim. Such a nostalgia and i love everything about them and this drama. I remember crying hard on wedding scene lol love yoon ji ho and nam se hee.

Jezjz Jul 10 2018 5:26 pm Want to know what happend after, Watch episode 10 of: What’s wrong with secretary kim. Just kidding but their cameo their will make you feel happy and imagine their life after :)

Jzjzj Jul 10 2018 4:40 pm Want to know what happend after, Watch episode 10 of: What’s wrong with secretary kim. Just kidding but their cameo their will make you feel happy and imagine their life after :)

Lee Jul 10 2018 3:22 pm One of the best dramas I've ever watched. Throughout the series, the growing chemistry between Se Hee and Ji Ho was incredibly natural and emotionally rewarding. The series was also suprisingly reflective--without being cheesy like so many other dramas--and made some genuinely eye-opening comments about life and relationships. I will be honest that the last few episodes were somewhat disappointing in their execution: the female protagonist acted notably out of character for a significant part of the concluding arc, making the ending perhaps a little less than totally satisfactory. All in all, however, First Life was an amazingly funny and emotional roller coaster I'd pay to go on again.

Nanana Jul 08 2018 2:42 am I'm on the third times watching drama first life. And still not boring, but even more loving it!! After lee minki and jung somin cameo at secretary kim drama, i know that this drama is gaining more attention and more people watching it compare to when it was on going last year.. Soo.. i hope there are season 2 jaeball.... is that possible?? TVN please make it happen, Because this is my first life season 2.. ??

Llindia Jun 30 2018 2:48 am Loveeeeee this drama and the main couple. Wish they couple in real life ....the story is great, so well written and fresh ...ahhh just love and recommend it

PurpleJun Jun 28 2018 8:04 am I was bewitched with this drama. Worth to watch. Especially See Hee and Ji Ho part. How their love grow each other and care each other in their own unique way. Sweet couple. Also, how each character facing and solved their own problem. I'm looking forward for their next project. Hwaiting!

seulgi Jun 27 2018 1:33 am One of my most fav dramas! The cast was just amazing, the story line is never boring and even to the small details of the drama was very well thought of. Loved how the three couples developed through the series (especially Ji Ho and Se Hee aaaaahh!!) You have to watch this drama!! + Kim Minkyu is just heart eyes!!

Marvin Jun 22 2018 9:49 pm It makes me want to fall love with my wife all over again. Cannot deny that it has the best kiss scene in all of kdrama that i have seen.

PSJisLove Jun 10 2018 7:22 pm I so love this drama! Certainly one of the best. Every episode is superb. Casts were all perfect! The feels with every scene is always present. 100% recommended to all Kdrama fans out there! :))

yourcharm May 28 2018 9:22 pm Don't hesitate. Watch this Korean drama and you will never regret it. Promise! The plot, twist and the story itself is the best. I hope that they will produce more Korean drama like this. tvN dramas is really good.

eobseo May 27 2018 2:02 am most beatiful korean drama ever❤ (after it's ok that's love ofc)

noel May 16 2018 3:05 am one of my favourite drama! the plot is so simple, unique, and fresh. just finished the last episode today and i can't move on from the lead couple, Se Hee ssi and Ji Ho ssi :( loveeeeeeeee it

JongdaeDaTroll May 09 2018 3:48 am This drama is so good. Tbh its wasnt a unique kind of plot but i dont know how they made this drama this good. Plus this drama has the best kissing scene i've seen in kdramas. If ever you have a doubt watching this for any reason please give it a try maybe watch it until episode 3 and see if it suits your taste but im telling you this is the best romcom 2017 (or even 2016) out there.

Fayaz Bin Salam May 06 2018 8:05 am Best KDrama I've ever watched....

Elba Marrero Apr 30 2018 12:47 am Amazing!!!! Love every bit of it. This is one of the best dramas thatI have watched. Amazing

MAXX Apr 29 2018 10:53 pm Soooooooooooooooo nice....especially when Jung So Min tried to call his husband while he is in work already....when he kissed her through the phone and all the workers are staring at each other...so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this drama really!!! Jung So MIn and Lee Si Young are my idol actresses....

NEA Apr 27 2018 12:50 am I really love it. I have to watch this again! <3

Lisa Apr 20 2018 6:00 pm When I started watching this drama I found it a bit boring but after I read people's comments I decided to continue with it. Boy I am so glaaaaaad I dint give up on this drama it is the bessssst the chemistry is just everything and the story is really touching. Trust me this is a masterpiece esp from ep 8

hunylicious964 Apr 16 2018 10:28 am wahhh... What a masterpiece .. i cant believe i ignored this one for months. i literally ended this show in 1.5 days.... it is soo deep the dialogues are tremendous !! I literally wrote so many of them down. Maybe i was just overly sensitive due to personal reasons but this is the first rom com that made me cry this much... The best thing that can explain this one is.. Its real!!! It freakin real .. Its too damn relateable and touches!! Mind Blowing What A Show Highly Recommended! Why Is This So Underrated??!!

Alliya Apr 14 2018 11:46 pm Simply the best!

Multiloversss Apr 12 2018 4:56 am This drama really good.....i like the quotes in this drama.truly hit the spot and so relatable with our reality now.

Iwan17 Apr 10 2018 10:40 am Really fresh and unique. One of the best tvn romance comedy kdrama ever. Jung so min said she really want season 2 but i wonder how can that happen since the story ended in really really great way

xchrmngto Apr 07 2018 4:29 am This drama is ndeed a masterpiece. I was crying the whole time watching the last three episodes. This drama is mixed with comedy, romance and even drama. It's real, it does not fool you like how any other dramas do, it does not lie to you about the truth. It portrays reality, I love it.

I love how it made me love my life even more and appreciate the little things in life.

I love that the ending wasn't rushed. It's done carefully and sincerely. I'm thankful that the time alotted for the last episode's enough.

Because This Is My First Life is a well written and well directed drama.

I would like to thank everyone who made this drama possible. Thank you all.

Nana Apr 06 2018 8:40 am Aarghh... cannot move on from this drama... love.. love.. love it!

ToniaB Mar 27 2018 8:13 pm I really loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeere this drama. Have been watching kdrama's back to back and I was bored until I saw this one. It's so heartwarming, I love it

Anne Mar 26 2018 8:50 pm This kdrama is awesome! I had mixed emotions while watching this drama! Lee min Ki portrayed the character very well, and because of this drama I have been watching LMK old tv dramas and films. He’s indeed a good actor! Jung So Min was really the good match for him in this drama! Everything is icing on the cake!

jorlyn Mar 23 2018 2:28 am i will try this k-drama .. i like the leading lady .. <3

sandes Mar 20 2018 9:38 am on my lonesome time with my temper & broken watching this drama felt like best drama of 2017.

Syeth Mar 18 2018 9:23 pm Wow, this drama is just Wow! It is not your usual love story. I loved the characters and the storyline. The actors portrayed the characters really well. There are a lot of lessons to be learned too. Don't miss this drama, you won't regret it. I can guarantee that.

Bill Feb 26 2018 11:14 pm This drama is so damn daebak!!! The story is really perfect and the casts too! I'm so sad when i finished watching this drama ㅠㅠ

Kris Feb 24 2018 1:14 pm All these plot lines how it is hard to live in Seoul even with a degree from SNU. It must be difficult for Koreans to watch. I can’t but wonder why they can’t show more movies and series set outside Seoul. Going to college, working and able to have maybe 3-4 kids because it’s affordable. Answer me 1997 almost did this well. They ended up in Seoul. My little bride was entirely set in Busan with no hint of Seoul. What about Daegu? Incheon? Let’s eat 2 tried but honestly it ended with split families/divorce for those leaving Seoul. Why not a show about a family leaving for Sejong from Seoul and from nearby cities and growingthe family and raising the kids well? What about more series centering around a group of defectors from N Korea adapting to the south over several years.

Yvonne Feb 24 2018 8:08 am A one of a kind Kdrama that gives us a view about the many faces of a married life...hats off!!!

Kris Feb 23 2018 11:35 pm Why was she the one to move when she spent so much of her money on the family apartment?

jypnatioff Feb 21 2018 3:06 am Very unpredictable but still fun! I’m really a picky when it comes to kdramas but this one is one of a few of my favorites now! Its good enough for me to rewatch it again whenever i feel like theres no kdrama i can get into & finish until the end bcs i didnt like how the story goes halfway

Hanny Feb 08 2018 6:45 pm Best romantic drama 2017! It's not just an ordinary korean drama with a usual plot and predictable scene, but as the story goes on, you get to know and relate to the characters. You get more excited as to how will the characters relationships change. Makes your heart flutter. Makes you cry. Best lines ever! If Here in PH, it's like "hugot" lines.

Minahil Feb 01 2018 12:18 pm It's the best kdrama. I waited for all 16 eps to air so I can binge watch and believe me it was for the best. I would suggest this to everyone. The storyline isn't forced or cliche whatsoever. I have fallen in love with both lead characters and their acting. The chemistry is fabulous and there isn't a single flaw that this drama has.

Skukian Feb 01 2018 11:12 am This drama is very meaningful and the storyline is amazing.... Although i loved the other 2 couples more than the main leads... This drama teaches u a lot about life n love.. N I'm really glad a i watched it... The cast did a good job too... Simple but beautiful drama...

because this is my first commenting Jan 25 2018 12:25 am I went straight here after finished watching it to write comments about how great it is. I would highly recommend this drama to those who in doubt whether to watch it or not like myself once before. give it a try. I know I'm not disappointed.

see_he_lover Jan 22 2018 10:27 am It's been a week since I finished this but I can't get over it T_T I watched while u were sleeping, go back couple n revolutionary love after it but I just can't take it out of my mind it was so perfect for me so here I am watching it again.. <3 <3 <3

rara Jan 20 2018 2:27 pm I finished this drama in two days and half godddd is jibjuin nim even realㅠㅠ I really need to find a man like himㅠㅠ

sk Jan 16 2018 5:57 pm I can't believe I was just gonna pass by this drama. Storyline is awesome and straightforward. I love the characters' honesty and how realistic some parts of this drama can be. Reality can be harsh and this drama is a great depiction of it. I especially love Soo Ji's character! She's so cool like such a girl crush. Ho Rang and Won Seok were often frustrating to watch but I realized that many couples are probably like them in real life.

ridwan Jan 16 2018 7:44 am this is one of the most SIMPLE BUT UNIQUE romcom kdrama, it challenge the perception of marriage for the young adult so much. the lead couple really pulled their character successfully. best drama that jung so min ever cast :)

anon9891 Jan 15 2018 9:49 pm This is a very very good drama. It's predictable but it makes you keep watching it as it has a very good script and storyline. There is no boring episode in this drama, love it! Flawless and relatable, 10/10!

Kendra Hosea Jan 14 2018 2:28 am So many beautiful lines in this drama.. I really love the writer. Dont forget the cast with their superb act. And the cat. Love the cat.

But i think, what makes me watch this drama 2 times in a row, is that somehow this drama reminds me of how me and my spouse start our relationship. It reminds me the flutter heart of having a first love in your life, and teach us to start the love in a clean, honest, right way. Thats why i understand why ji ho took the divorce.

“Even though you live through yesterday, doesnt mean you know everything about today”

Cammie Jan 13 2018 11:57 am This is my second time commenting on a drama. Eventhough I have watched dramas for several years it is not until recently that I started wanting to write what I thought. Because this is my first life, although frustrating at times, was a very nice drama. For the most part I did like Ji Ho, although some things she did and some decisions she made was just.. I don't understand them at all... Se Hee was actually very well played and I liked him, Ho Rang was so annoying at first but she grew on me, Soo Ji, ah I loved Soo ji.. she was so cool and put together and such a beauty. I also had a hard time keeping my eyes of Min-bok and his wonderful dimples. Can still picture his beautiful face in my mind after having watched the drama XD. Haha. Ahh, all in all this drama was very good with a nice message, and the soundtrack was top notch! :)

am Jan 12 2018 11:04 pm I started watching this show because I really like Jung Somin and Kim Min Seok. I'm only on episode 4 so far, but I really can't stand Ho Rang's character at all, to the point that its almost putting me off the whole drama itself. I always skip over her parts and the "fights"(which she creates out of nothing whatsoever). She seems to get angry at him for the smallest of reasons and even when she's in the wrong expects him to apologise and its just so cringey to watch. I'm really hoping there is some sort of character development whatsoever ahead. It also bothers me so much that a character as lovely as Won Seok is with someone as petty and manipulative as Ho Rang. Other than that major blip, i'm liking it so far!

Cee Jan 09 2018 11:43 am Heard of this drama because it's the Korean adaptation of the Jdrama NigeHaji (which I LOVE SO MUCH), I'll definitely watch this soon. Judging from all the comments here, I think I'll like this drama as well pls there's Somin as the lead! But guys if you have the time, do check out the jdrama version too! It's really good.

heron Jan 05 2018 5:19 pm I must draw attention to all the "this is my first time commenting on a kdrama" comments below. This drama deserves all good things!

heron Jan 05 2018 5:17 pm This is my first time leaving a comment about a kdrama. I feel obliged to leave a comment after seeing this because I finished the entire thing in just two weeks - very quick for me, as this is also the first kdrama I didn't skip-watch. Some aspects can be discussed alright but this is the first kdrama that I genuinely loved, that made me feel feelings, so I want to thank whomever is responsible for this production! I feel so so very happy right now, I'm glad that this warm, interesting kdrama with lots of introspection and an almost 0 level of hysterical people exists on earth! Watch it now :)

Gwen Jan 05 2018 5:11 pm This is my first time leave a comment for drama. Because i think i have to let u know how wonderful it was. Every single line is so beautiful and memorable. All the characters are so good, u wont be bore at all, U will smile, laugh and cry at the same time. The dialog was so amazing yet meaningful. The cast is the best and i think there's no other actor can replace them, u will love all of them, its just so right. And this drama definitely is the best drama of 2017. Hope u love it too, its worth-watched ?

bh Jan 05 2018 9:03 am A different kind of Korean drama that attempts to find answers to many of life's most difficult questions - the importance of marriage, love, and maintaining the status quo. Very refreshing to see a Korean drama in this day and age that does not follow the typical route of over dramatization and shock factors, and instead focuses on a deep, original and fleshed out story told within the equally well depicted characters' lives that I feel is very much needed in Korean society.

Prepare your tissues ladies and gentlemen.

Ell Jan 05 2018 1:51 am I usually don't comment here over dramas that I really like but this seems to be one of the rare times I would do. I didn't really enjoy the drama as much as I expected to be. I even thought this drama was overrated. I was not really impressed throughout the drama as I would be to the other dramas that I like. It was a decent drama, lovely storyline that made me finish the whole 16 episodes in a day. However, oddly after I finished it, I found out that I couldn't get over the drama. Every day, I'm longing the vibe that the story gives out and how beautiful it is. I ended up rewatching the whole series as I never did before to any other dramas that I find very good. I love the character development and how they interact with one another. It is a really odd feeling for me that never happened before. Definitely, recommend people to watch this and you will deeply fall in love with it like how I do.

Tya Abdullah Jan 04 2018 2:36 am A romantic drama that depicts real-life situations, skipping the unnecessary typical 'rude but handsome chaebol that falls in love with innocent and naive female lead' type of drama.

Three different stories with three different but amazing endings. It is always pleasant to see the side couple's or couples' stories being surfaced, highlighted, and given proper ending, not just focusing on the main couple's story as if the two main characters are the only ones who are important throughout the drama.

A must watch!

Tee Jan 01 2018 5:18 pm I never comment but I can't stop myself from commenting, this is my best kdrama so far it's very refreshing and deserves the best awards. The characters were superb. This is the first time seeing lee min ki and he did really good, love to see more of him. As for jung so min I have watched every drama she has been in and she is a really good actress ? I rate this move ?✅ just perfect.

Newbie Dec 30 2017 6:02 am Absolutely loved all of the main female characters in this drama! They all had great character development and achieved happiness that wasn't completely dependent on others (aka a man). I especially loved Soo-Ji's character who is pretty much a badass. I felt like each female character was properly developed as far as personality and storyline except maybe Se-Hee's mother and this is pretty rare in most K-dramas that I have seen. This drama also has a wonderfully refreshing and realistic take on relationships, especially the social pressures related to marriage. It does get a little slow at times, especially Ji-Ho's slow dialogue. Her voiceovers are also kinda TOO abstract and hard to understand and don't really contribute much to a story that already has great characters that can convey the feelings well. And don't worry, it is full of light hearted humor with just enough sprinkling of real emotion to make the story well rounded and touch your heart.

LK Dec 29 2017 4:46 pm Loved it. It's realistic and the flow is just nice. I loved all the couple. Their relationships and dynamic really made this show great. Thumbs up to the writers and the actors that made this show come to life.

Cezzy Dec 29 2017 1:08 am Watch this drama guys !! So worth to watch ❤❤❤❤

Korean Language Dec 28 2017 5:43 pm This show was so good and the direction and writing is impeccable. They deserve awards because this drama wasn’t like any other K-Drama. This drama was much more realistic and just wow. So thank you to the cast and crew for making an amazing show

jojo Dec 28 2017 9:03 am I love the chemistry couples, especially the main couple ❤❤

fifi Dec 27 2017 1:31 am It's so hard to find any other good drama after this...Nearly impossible...

Shawan Dec 24 2017 3:37 pm I love the main couple SO MUCH, literally they are so sweet. At first I thought this drama would just be a another typical romance drama that the leads will fall in love and blah blah. Its true that this drama is about love, but it has a different way of telling the romance. From the first ep, I was surprised by how thoughtful the drama is because it contains a lot of life lessons. There are some humor factors in here making it more fun. 120% RECOMMENDED

Mahima Murmu Dec 23 2017 7:49 am Please we need BTIMFL Season 2. We really want to see Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min as Se Hee and Ji Ho again, as soon as possible. Please writernim and Tvn.

Connie Dec 19 2017 10:56 pm One of the best drama of 2017! There were many funny moments that had me laughing and sad romantic scenes as well. Watch this drama, it’s be worth your time!

nmts Dec 18 2017 9:49 am Another monday night without Sehee and Jiho :( I should have another re-run I am missing them so much!!!

Elle Dec 18 2017 3:22 am Season 2 Pleeaseeeee

Missing this couple sooooooooooo much T_T

Night Owl Dec 17 2017 3:50 pm I need second season for this drama, please writernim, directornim, producernim. "Parenting" or "pregnancy" theme for second season would be great. Because expecting a baby can be so complicated in a relationship. Specially for our one of a kind Mr.se hee.

have a good day! Dec 17 2017 1:36 pm i dont usually say this but i freaking need more romantic marriage scene between se hee and jiho. Pleaseeee I want an extra episode of their romanceeeeee TT

have a good day! Dec 17 2017 1:32 pm this is one of the best drama i have seen in a while. it is a really light slice of life story and make your heart flutter. i cant explain it with words but trust me, this drama is really good omg.

Princess consuela Dec 17 2017 1:56 am This is one of the best kdrama I have ever watched. It was super consistent! From the beginning until the end, I was super hooked. Not only did I enjoy watching this, but I also learned a lot in the characters' perspective. Now I am badly struggling about what to watch next. I need something that wouldn't fail my expectations.

PANDORA Dec 17 2017 1:11 am 12/10 would recommend. A true masterpiece, every episode had a lesson and the dialogues are so poetic. This drama soothes souls and it left me speechless. One of my top 3 favourite dramas to date.

nmts Dec 16 2017 12:19 pm Been two weeks since the last episode but I am still re-running this drama :) withdrawal syndrome is hard!! Missing LMK so much and I think I am gonna watch Dal Ja's spring and I Really Really Like you in the next few weeks.

It's my first comment Dec 16 2017 1:45 am Everytime I see that Korean dramas are always convincing with the script and the way of acting...

This time too I felt something was lack for the ending episode...

Everything goes very slowly, steadily, carefully and perfectly from the beginning up to the pre-final episode...

Suddenly the final episode came up and everyone urges to the happiness of finishing touch with the idea of happy ending.

In general, Agreements are contradictory to the ground reality but they still making regulations in it... and Still it shows an incomplete contract...

I think It's not necessary to repeat good dramas as good, wonderful, refreshing etc ... as everyone knows obviously...

Luckyhere Dec 15 2017 7:19 am This drama is masterpiece! Love the drama so much, highly reccomend to watch. very well developed and great actors/actress, the storyline is very smooth and neat also filled with good life lesson (Y)

Elle Dec 15 2017 12:02 am YESSSSSSSSS definitely must watch drama . Not only entertain and fun to watch but you can also learn so much about life from this drama. Really loveeeeeeeeeee the phrase " Because This is My First Life" . Whenever i feel down and stress about a lot of things .... I just need to remember HEEY this is a first life for all of us. Maybe it sounds cheesy but that's how i feel. This drama really give me strength from time to time. I believe this drama will be remembered in many years to come

Arween Dec 14 2017 12:56 pm I couldn't agree more with @Austin. It was REALLY a deep drama. And I didn' t know "Wizard of Oz" thing. Thank you for this information! I fell in love with this drama one more time. A huge bravo to the writer. And actors and actresses also did a very good job. Everything was perfect. You should watch without thinking if you are hesitating ^^

Barbara Villers Dec 14 2017 9:52 am Absolutely love Lee Min-Ki -- I've seen many of his movies. He is an excellent actor. This drama was excellent with script writers, production -- just everything!

Austin Dec 13 2017 3:12 pm Realized the three men represented the characters from Wizard of Oz

Se Hee- Tin Man Ma Sanggoo- Scarecrow Won Seok- Lion

Se Hee is obvious so I don't need to explain.

Ma Sang Goo is represented by the scarecrow because the scarecrow "lacks the brain". He may had been the CEO but most of the work is done by his employees and he is seen as something like a fool. However like the Scarecrow, he possesses common sense, quick wittiness, and remarkable insight.

Wonseok is the lion because he was cowardly like the lion. He was supported by Ho Rang for seven years and she basically "raised" him. She always gave him the push in the back. Won Seok always made a cowardly bravado to make him feel dependable when in fact he isn't.

This drama is well written and the special effects were well placed. It's a deep drama as it uses a lot of literary devices and incorporates many phrases from books. Utilizing them, the writers develop a story unlike any other dramas. I recommend this drama as it is a refreshing story compared to others.

Isabelle Dec 13 2017 2:24 am Absolutely loved the drama. Refreshing storyline, great chemistry between actors. I strongly recommend this drama!!

Hidden BMIN Dec 12 2017 8:58 pm Let me tell you something. From ost and story. I love everything. I like story about main character rather than another character (harang and sooji) . the story a little bit slow, I thought I should give up at ep 10 but nope I still watching because this kdrama not predictable like another drama. At the end of ep, I always wanted to know what happened next. Recommend this drama. Two drama that make me watch all ep without give up this years (usually I give up watching kdrama halft way because the drama getting slow or boring) the deserving of the name and this drama. For me, this drama better than DOTS and goblin(of course this only my opinion)

Kaz Dec 12 2017 11:16 am Is this like a Korean remake of japanese drama, Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu? It's kinda similar.

Zhafira Dec 11 2017 6:50 am Does anyone knows what is Yong suk real name???

Peach Dec 11 2017 3:28 am You have to see this drama. A lot of things we can learn about life ?

W Dec 10 2017 12:23 pm I first noticed so min in some other drama. when i saw her in this drama, i decided to watch it just for her....she is just so pretty as she gets older.

i kept watching and watching because so min is so good in her acting and conveying the emotions, especially during the narratives....and of course the story line is quite unique compared to other k dramas..........

lee. Dec 10 2017 9:52 am I loved this drama. it was one of the most lit dramas I have seen in a while. I really liked Jung so min and lee min ki's acting, the rest of the cast members also did a fantastic job. I loved the chemistry between all the couples and how they complimented each other.

Woori~ Dec 10 2017 12:52 am This movie is soo... Ahh I can’t describe it anymore, I just want to beg to the writer and producer to make a session 2. ??????

Wawa Dec 09 2017 10:29 pm I can't move on from this drama... I like how lee min ki act like robot, but quite funny & charming. So min was so inspiring, strong & smart woman. The ost. really enjoyable, and I love Woori so much... one of my favorite drama :*

melindachuu Dec 09 2017 8:37 am omg, i cried for this drama ?????

Garima Dec 09 2017 6:14 am if u want a intresting drama...then u will get bore to see this..but u want to learn something then make sure to watch "BTIMFL" it tells u about relations...love and marriage and room no. 19. from my view this is the one of the best drama..amazing. it shows the view of a person who is in their 30's. if u like school 2017 and WYWS (because of their quotes and lines and deep thoughts) then make sure to watch this...this drama has really many deep thoughts this will absoultely change the way of your thinking. and this is best drama for married couple.

Re Dec 06 2017 10:46 am One of the best drama!! Loveeeee it!!

INT Dec 06 2017 9:19 am Wow. This drama is very interesting. And you'll learn Respect between each other more important than love in marriage life. I mean love and chemistry is super awesome of this couple. Specially Lee min ki is one of the hottest actor in korea I've seen. If you watched "Shut of flower boy band" ( playful teenager who love music and also a band leader)you can understand how talented He is. Because he's good at any kind of character. He portrait his character very well. And actress is doing very well. She's " playful kiss " actress. Drama story itself is so different and one of the best I've ever watched. Not to mention that cute and handsome Bok Nam. ?

Sunshine Dec 05 2017 8:54 am Just finished watching this drama today. Freedom! It was a very long waiting for desperately and impatiently waiting for every week just to watch the next two episodes. Now, I am able to breathe and smile for the entire life. This was a very heartwarming story. The script was so written well and incredibly touching deep to my heart. I just want to thank all the casts whom have been putting their effort in making this drama beautiful and awesome. Thank god we have been gifted with incredibly amazing writer of this drama. Hope to see a nice drama like this in the future.

-A lot of love from Malaysia ^^

Queenie Dec 04 2017 1:50 pm What an enjoyable drama? I missed and enjoyed this awesome drama very much. Not only unique of this couple I had watched so far in Kdramas, their effectionate is super funny and appealing to me.

Daebak Dec 03 2017 3:53 am I really appreaciate this drama. Very light and full of lessons. This made me smile, laugh and cry. 10/10

Kim Dec 02 2017 12:27 pm This drama was pretty good. I enjoyed it, loved that it wasn't those cliche kind of kdrama. It teaches a lot of valuable things in life which is very nice. I do think that this is more suitable for those who are 20 and above. I think I might've enjoyed this more if I were older. However, I really dislike the fact that the characters speak so slowly with pauses. I even had to speed up some episodes so I wouldn't get frustrated and have trouble remembering what their previous lines were. The pace of the drama is also quite slow but I didn't mind that. Overall, I still think this is a good drama. Kim MinKyu is soso cute too ❤

Fleng Dec 02 2017 9:39 am I think thus drama is loosely based of the popular Jdrama Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu starring Aragaki Yui. Thr premise is somewhat similar. The male lead is very similar in terms of the attitude and working in coding haha. Good show though both if them.

Nj Dec 02 2017 8:03 am This drama is really great,it has a lot of life lessons, I really enjoyed watching every minute of it, everything is so good the acting, the story and the osts, it's sad that I've finished it, but I know it'll be stuck in my mind for a long time

min Dec 02 2017 5:18 am This show is really amazing, the script, the actors and actresses. OMG so lit! I’m 17 yet this show really hit me right in the kokoro. Double thumbs up for this! LOVE IT SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

J Dec 02 2017 12:18 am This drama is utterly beautiful!! The characters, the production design, the music, the narration, and most of all, the story line, are all nothing short of perfection!! It started out really good and ends up getting better and better with each episode.

This show is not only for those who are married or are in their 30s or so. I'm only 21, but I greatly enjoyed this! It was a breath of fresh air. ?

Deynara Dec 01 2017 1:00 pm Initially drawn to see this series because of Lee min Ki, and yet, wound up loving every second of the stories it brought to life through Jung So Min's, and the other equally crucial characters and their ever growing concerns that truly represent the unspeakable problems and issues many encounter on a regular basis.

Beyond your average contractual marriage K-drama prototypes, Because This Is My First Life has indeed significantly changed my perspective towards life, love, marriage and relationships. It wasnt just a drama, for what it granted me with was nothing short of perfection. This series, dare i say it was more like an entirely life changing experience to me, rather than a typical romantic comedy one could ever ask for.

Every line mentioned by its characters left me thinking and eventually evaluating how i have been living my life lately. Every single narration got me like emotionally choked with their brutally honest feelings and opinions i used to be afraid of admitting to myself, let alone shouted it outloud or openly discussed it with others.

Not to mention all the books and multiple references used to describe the entire story somehow perfectly conveyed the struggles every single one in the series, if not us, had to suffer from, be it personally or within social context, without losing its elegance and subtle qualities.

I'm utterly BLOWN AWAY by how well this masterpiece articulate love in a way that i've never seen before nor thought of possible to be done. YOU have got to see it for yourself to believe it. Nothing will ever the same again after you're finished with this particular show. Simply SUPERB.

Anon Dec 01 2017 10:45 am Tbh, i felt that Jung so-min’s part lacks of emotion when she talks especially on certain parts where she explains her feeling to others etc. I felt that she can do more eye contact when talking to other characters instead of looking away. Nevertheless, thank you for the hardwork!

Adore lee Min Ki in this. He potrays the character well, starting to love him now. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Nice story plot about marriage and relationship, can tweak the acting part a little bit, but overall it’s an okay show!

Anon Nov 30 2017 11:14 pm Hope that there will be a season 2 as I am hooked on this program. I only just started watching this program 2 days ago, and already have finished watching the series! I’d love it if they continue.

P.s I just turned 21 and may I just say that everything in this drama has opened my eyes completely. Saranghae writers and producers of this program.

LovelyLady Nov 30 2017 9:50 pm This was amazing!!! Absolutely love this drama. Will watch again. Some parts could've been tweeked in the end but it didn't take away from the beauty or it.

Sepideh Ghazizadeh Nov 30 2017 8:31 pm Season 2 please please please I really love this drama, it's so nice and funny It's realistic and I think all of couples in the world should learn how they can respect to their feelings or for touching each other's. Jung so min was great and fabulous, I like her from mischievous kiss until now. You are going to be a big actress in the Asia. Fighting;) ;) :)

Chingu Nov 30 2017 11:54 am Highly recommended! If you're in 30s or late 20s, and romantic-comedy genre lovers, this is the perfect show for you. It's better if you watch it yourself rather than reading the negative comments. More than 90% of viewers LOVE IT. ❤❤❤ Amazing storyline!

It's me Nov 30 2017 10:57 am i don't waste my time if I knew it would be suck in the end.

Liza Nov 30 2017 8:13 am There must be a continuation for this drama... their life after marriage ... ?

Lene Nov 30 2017 8:10 am Season 2 please!!!!!

122am Nov 30 2017 12:54 am Totally the best. LMK and JSM and all of the cast shined.

If you are thinking of watching it, stop thinking and start.

Maria Nov 29 2017 10:47 pm The last two episodes was boring. The first episodes till episode 12 or 13 were great. They should have ended it then.

iLy Nov 29 2017 10:47 pm Two thumbs for this drama! It's awesome, and I replay this drama three times just to review and find the missing part, but there's nothing to complain, until 14th. I thought Se Hee had some serious problem with his Dad till make him can't forgive what he's done to Jung Min. but there's nothing. Just affection to his son that make him can't agree Se Hee marriying Jung Min.

Anyway, this drama don't have antagonist like another drama (Bok Nam, Bo Mi, Jung Min, Se Hee's Dad, the Accountant can't be antagonist because they're so nice) but still good to watch. The problem was in inside of each character.

It's the real masterpiece!! I want to vote this drama to be the best tvN's Drama instead of Goblin!!

JustMe Nov 29 2017 9:35 pm @abc Everyone's heart doesn't beat the same. Some people turned out to be selfish because they can't afford to take care of everyone's feelings. At the end, they choose something that gives them happiness. Let's see in a different perspectives :) That's the reality. Cheers. Worth watching story! 9/10

Holland Kari Nov 29 2017 8:38 pm I Super love this drama. The story taught us soo many things about love, marriage and relationships.Definitely learn a lot from this drama. Every line makes sense :) The casts bring such good impact to the drama for portraying the best of their character. Such a beautiful drama. Will definitely recommend this to my friends and will forever keep this in my heart WINDOWS OS ♥

abc Nov 29 2017 4:35 pm The first 13 and a half episodes were brilliant. This drama should've ended at episode 12 or 13 and it would've been one of the best dramas ever made. The last two episodes completely ruined the series for me. Jiho, the main character, did a complete character change and became a selfish unrealistic Mary Sue character who had absolutely no consideration for the other people in her life... and then in the last episode everything turned out exactly the way she wanted in perfect Mary Sue fashion. Extremely unrealistic ending and extremely unrealistic character change for the main character just to fulfill the propagandistic agenda of the writer. I am never watching another drama written by Ms. Yoon.

SeheeJiho Nov 29 2017 12:25 pm I never thought I would love this drama so much..just watch it for both main lead and it worth watching !!!! Thank you for beautiful ending...I'm gonna miss it a lot ..thank you to all cast and all team ..you guys has done a great azing job..thank you for making this drama ..I enjoy watching every single episodes...Anyone who searching for romcom drama I would recommend this 100%..watch & enjoy all the great feeling ><

dany Nov 28 2017 9:46 pm i have watched many kdrama i think this one has best script and interesting story. we can know the perspective about marriage from every character. well done for writer.

Trey Nov 28 2017 9:22 pm I have watched many Korean drama so far this one have best script and interesting plot. Good job for writer

Alexander Ramos Nov 28 2017 8:09 pm Since the first day I watched this drama, I was hooked, this drama just started and I updated my top 20 Kdrama list with this at the top. Along the trip over these 8 weeks of watching this drama, never change my decision and be a bore. The drama introduced me to this wonderful crew, as well as wonderful actors and actresses. The main lead male, I never seen him before, as well as some other actors and actresses in this drama as well. The main reason I watched this and why I watch most of my dramas is because of the main lead girl, and sometimes either a supporting actress and or actor, or even main lead male and female. I really hope that this couple can be a real life couple, if not that’s okay too. I support the director for his decisions throughout the drama and will look forward to great dramas like this from this very specific director. I have never watched a drama based on the director, but this drama has peaked my interest so much that it lead me to appreciating the director, since not only the actors and actresses were the only ones who did the best. Without the director’s vision for this drama, I wouldn’t be writing this comment right now about this excellent work of art. I had also wished that the drama would go on to 20 episodes like others had requested as well, but the way it was wrapped up was very enjoyable. It helped make the watcher feel at ease knowing that their favorite couple, no I mean couples had a happy ending. ~Sincerely a very pleased watcher: Alexander Joel Ramos from Jersey City, New Jersey on 11-28-17

Pammo Nov 28 2017 5:29 pm A classic romantic drama worthy of views by all Korean drama fans. Not a dull moment each episode and worth the time analyzing each character presented as the story progresses. More than entertainment - a thesis on life and relationships as we all get older. This story is well beyond the "giggly love "stage in relationships. A must see and highly recommended. I haven't enjoyed a k drama this much in a very long time. Kudos to all that participated in this project -- award winning in all areas.

yola Nov 28 2017 2:40 pm In LOVE with this drama! Tbh the story is quiet familiar but the way they present it is sooo adorable (especially LMK's flat face omg). The sentences really reach my heart and will stay within. For the actors, PD-nim and writer-nim, I'm waiting for your next beautiful dramas! Fighting!?

Tri Nov 28 2017 10:43 am Please, make 20 eps or season II I'm very love "Because This Is My First Life"

eonniuna Nov 28 2017 8:44 am YOON NAN JUNG WRITER-NIM, PARK JOON HWA PD-NIM, ALL CREWS & ALL ACTORS/ACTRESS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS INCREDIBLE, AWESOME, SWEET, UNFORGETTEN, AND MEANINGFUL DRAMA. LOVE YOUUUUU

THIS DRAMA REALLY MAKES MY MON-TUE BE BRIGHTFUL IN DURING THE BREAKS I'M DOING MY THESIS

Yoon Ji Ho & Nam Se Hee, i wouldn't ever forget your precious story. Thank you so much uri SoMinKi couple who played Jiho-Sehee character so well!

PS: i never once get carried away while attending a drama, but this drama really makes my emotions stir up.

Elle Nov 28 2017 8:21 am My heart aches seeing Lee Min Ki cries..

Mar Nov 28 2017 7:43 am lee min ki is SO HOT, But too bad he changed his hairstyle in the middle of drama, I prefer his first hair. :-( but I really love this drama. LEE MIN KI SARANGHAEEEEE......

Pineapple Nov 28 2017 5:58 am @Kdramalover wise explanation! Daebak! Thanks to this realistic kdrama for voicing out the reality nowadays.Time keeps changing but women still facing patriarchal pressures. Some people criticized the women/men who still unmarried in their 30s/40s while have no idea what they've been through. There are many reasons to consider why people marry late... Nobody wants to be lonely tho

it'sm3 Nov 28 2017 4:37 am Such a beautiful drama, PROMISE! Truly adored Lee Min Kee, and as always... Jung So Min, as much as I did with the rest of the cast, the writer, the directing is fabulous, as well. I 'm gonna miss this drama. So sad that they're on its last episode tomorrow... ugh, I'm still feeling empty with Se Hee's crying :-( but looking forward to see a very HAPPY ending.

Lutzie Nov 28 2017 3:29 am aaah!! so min and min ki i love you both!

Aecelle Nov 28 2017 2:58 am This drama is 10/10 for me. The story is so good and the actors are excellent!! So funny and heart breaking in many scenes. ? Perfect! so much love for Jung So Min and Lee Min Ki.❤

Asoka Nov 28 2017 1:21 am I really love this drama. Tomorrow I gonna watch last episode. I am Sad from now:(

kim Nov 28 2017 1:18 am This drama is so light ,fun and interesting. Although the idea of the drama is cliché but the characters and how they manage to tell the stories for the both lead is just effortless you'll be loosing track of time by watching it.

It is entertaining with simple story line yet catchy cast drama lines and acting.

9/10

It is almost perfect though

aru Nov 28 2017 12:18 am This is the best drama in 2017 . Loved it. Sad it is going to end today.

RODA Nov 27 2017 7:28 pm This is absolutely my ultimate favorite drama!!! I have been watching Korean dramas with different genre but this one is so simple that every scenes and episodes can make you cry, laugh and fall in love over and over again. It is so well written, the actors are all great. I will definitely recommend this!!!! THIS IS PERFECT!!!

Niloo Nov 27 2017 10:19 am I love this drama i love everything about it????

Kdramalover Nov 26 2017 3:16 pm Love, marriage, and women's dreams are all up in the air everywhere around the world.

This thoughtful, intelligent, well directed and beautifully acted drama captivates me. The starting ploy of the marriage of convenience between renter Yoon Ji-Ho who is an unemployed drama writer and her expressionless, nerdish landlord Nam Se-Hee works. It has now taken us in all kinds of directions.

The care with words (spoken and unspoken) and what lies behind them makes you pay attention.

I like the way Ji-Ho, Soo-ji and Ho-Rang, the three very different high school friends, struggle to navigate their lives and regroup to support each other whenever one of them has gone through a new personal storm.

The paths of the other women are just as interesting: Ko Jeong-min as the very intelligent, deep and broad-gauged CEO; or at another extreme, Yoon Bo-Mi the seemingly detached software designer who goes to "speak with her body" in the Itaewon nightclub on Fridays.

What might be the meaning of "Room 19" for each one of them? What destination is it?

The men are just as real, different and interesting in their struggles to build a sound relationship with their respective girl friend.

This realistic drama about our changing times also speaks of women facing patriarchal pressures within families and abuse of power on the job. Well done, everyone!

So far, each episode has been well delivered and close to life. I am hoping for more!

numst Nov 26 2017 1:11 pm I rarely write comments for drama yet this one is so special that I decided to put something on this page. This drama becomes my favourite drama of 2017, well also could be on my top5 favourite drama of all time. Started to watch just because of lee min ki (been a fan since dal ja's spring) but really into it after ep.1. The other casts are fantastic, story and flow are amazing, and many lines are really relatable (that we can contemplate about our life using those lines). I'll miss this drama when it ends on next Tuesday and will still rewatch it everytime I need laugh and motivation :)

Ez Nov 26 2017 10:01 am Realy love this drama so much.. the best drama ever in this year.... I love all about this drama. Actor!, Actris, ost, storyline, ???❤❤❤❤❤❤

Li'l cactus Nov 26 2017 7:43 am I'm so in love with this drama and Lee Min-ki really matched so well with Jung So Min,Very recommended drama❤❤

Immortal serenity Nov 25 2017 9:30 pm I'm hooked with this Kdrama! Amazing storylines, simple yet entertaining ❤ This made me realized that Lee Min Ki is a great & natural actor. He nailed it! While waiting for the next episodes, I watched Lee Min Ki previous works and I enjoyed his roles. After watching him in Running Man episode 70, now I know why the director choose him. He's so perfect with his role! That's his natural characteristic....

JADE Nov 25 2017 7:10 am This drama drives me crazyyy. I really love it. The acting, the actors, the actresses, the OST, the posters,... Perfect.

gustave154 Nov 25 2017 5:45 am one of the best dramas this year...

lrt Nov 24 2017 4:54 pm Love love this drama....great chemistry between the lead actors. Will probably watch again!!

Isa Nov 24 2017 12:35 pm I went into this drama skeptical of the cliche concept only to be surprised by how wonderful the execution and storyline has been. Its one of my favourite dramas, all the characters are so well written and this drama beautifully captures the nuances of relationships between people. I could rewatch this a thousand times. Highly recommended!

Ms Sik Nov 24 2017 6:53 am i do not want this drama to end. Its so nice bc every characters has story to share.

Pram Nov 23 2017 7:05 pm The fact that this precious one only come with 16 episodes make me devastated. I never tired to watch it again, & again ? I want 100 more drama like this!

erlinda rueda ulita Nov 23 2017 3:55 pm Simple but excitng, love every episode

Dahnia Nov 23 2017 9:38 am It's going to be so difficult to find a very great drama like this. I really really love it. 16 eps just too short for me. I don't want it ends soon. Se hee, ji ho and all the characters are so enchanting. Love you all.

frankie Nov 23 2017 5:14 am At first i watched this drama because of jung so min,she's one of my favorite korean actress, i love her since playful kiss. I super love this drama (Because this is my first life), it tops my favorite dramas of all time. The storyline is very unique and the actors gives justice to their character. Upon watching each episodes.,i always relate my self or see my friends to each chatacters situation. I learn a lot from this drama, life situation, love and dreams. This drama mends my monday sickness, Im always excited for mondays and tuesdays. I hope it will have extended episode. Im so sad to know it will come to an end.

Jan Nov 23 2017 5:01 am I have to agree with many others, this drama is truly a gem. The characters are fleshed out really well, and (up till now episode 14) are acting true to the characters ascribed to them. This show has taken the #1 spot in my heart for drama's.

gwen Nov 23 2017 3:17 am This drama has definitely become one of my ultimate favourites. It has an interesting plot that draws me in and the characters have been well developed. The official sound tracks for this drama are also awesome.

I, 100%, wholeheartedly recommend this drama to everyone! A wonderful rom-com that will keep you entertained and attached.

SupportNCT127lol Nov 23 2017 1:27 am Ok i thought it was already finished but it isnt and i just watched ep 14 and i'm dying for the next ep omg TT i love this drama

AlwaysForeverKdrama Nov 22 2017 11:17 pm This will make my 360th Korean drama completed and I can safely say that, unless the writer mucks up the script in the last two episodes, that this drama might actually replace my number one favorite of all time. Can't quite believe it but that is how much I have fallen in love with this exceptional, superb drama that leaves so manby in the dust.

Flo Nov 22 2017 8:48 pm Can't wait for the next episode ???

Natasha Nov 22 2017 5:34 pm does anyone know the name of the poetry book Ji-ho takes from Se-hee??

Light Nov 22 2017 3:50 pm I only started watching the 1st episode. I'm a simple person, I see Doojoon I like. Didn't know he was gonna make a cameo appearance

Kyla Nov 22 2017 2:54 pm Does anyone know the writer that tried to raped Ji Ho?

Kaylee Nov 22 2017 12:21 pm WOW...can't express enough how phenomenal & deep this drama is!!! So beautifully written and all the characters are amazing!!! Highly recommended this drama!!! If only all husbands can be like Se-hee!!! Can't wait for the last two episodes!!!

Ting Nov 22 2017 12:15 pm Why isn't anyone talking about how Bomi is Bomi in this drama? I don't really know Apink that well but when I saw Bomi I think of Bomi from Apink and was doubting myself if they are the same person because it's rare that a drama will use actor's real name when their character has nothing to do with their real life personality, unless there's something more to her character (which I wouldn't be surprised to find out because of the way she interact with her boss and those above her). Only until I check the Wiki then I realise Bomi is indeed Bomi.

Etolito Nov 22 2017 7:42 am its a cute n unique story...loved it so much, cant wait for more episodes!!

nina Nov 22 2017 3:56 am this drama is pretty much my life now i love it so much <3

Just Me Nov 22 2017 2:50 am Recommended drama. It's about the consequences of your choices, leave the past behind and live for the present, don't stuck in the darkest moment. Don't force to stick together with someone whom is no intention marry you and someone you even noticed cannot make you happy. Face the world, enjoy and appreciate your life... Crying while listening to the soundtrack especially Marriage by Moon moon and Every single day by Mun Seongnam. The songs & the lyrics are so heartbreaking ?

Shya Nov 21 2017 10:56 pm Beautiful drama that plays music in your heart strings. Should definitely applaud the director to make us contemplate on things we do in our life. Kang Sung Wook from heart signal is playing a role of sweet guy from dating app meeting Ho -Rang through fate. I wish they end up together as they both want same thing in life. Marriage. Looks like won Seok and Bo-Mi will become cute office couple. Sometimes decision to breaking up and moving on is best compared to stacking up hard feelings towards the person you once loved unconditionally and trying hard to compromise. It is better than that. It is good to see the second couple ( won seok and ho rang )moving on choosing different roads they want to travel.

ViKi Nov 21 2017 10:15 pm This is drama is just soooooo good. I really hope this drama will be extended. I want more sweet scenes of Ji Ho and Se Hee please...and Bo Mi and Won Seok? cute couple too. :-) I love Lee Min Ki in his drama Love Truly with Eugene. And now, I am even more in Love with Lee Min Ki. I hope he will have more dramas in the future. This drama is really the best project for an awesome comeback. <3 <3 <3 One of my favorite dramas of all time! Everyone should not miss this drama.

Mimie Nov 21 2017 10:04 pm I really really LOVE this Drama so much, Oh My God!!! this drama makes me feel everything, It's Complete... Jung So Min again your not disappointing me as my expected you act so great in this drama, your so LOVABLE, BEAUTIFUL and etc... Jung So Min Saranghae!!! Fighting!!! <3 <3 <3

Alexander Ramos Nov 21 2017 9:56 pm Hopefully the drama lasts until episode 20 so there’s more action with them, as well as the other couples especially the broken couple that started out as a couple in the beginning of the drama.

Laura Nov 21 2017 8:39 pm Great drama realistic

j Nov 21 2017 7:56 pm Episode 14 broke my heart. I hate this part of drama! Still will watch it though!

it'sm3 Nov 21 2017 8:52 am This the first drama I noticed Lee Min Kee ... oh wow ... I'm bewitched by his obscure charm, funny too :-) He matched so well with pretty Jung So Min. I'm a big fan! woo-hoo ... more LMK ❤❤❤

julia Nov 21 2017 3:40 am The most sad characther on this drama is Ho Rang. She only dreams to be married and have ordinary life like others people, but I dont know why so hard to achive her dreams. I have been the same situasion with her in real life. After dated with one man for years and suddently break up because the man can not fullfill her dream. it's such a coward. She is not request luxury life and expensive things. The best way for them is separate and life must go on. She can find another man out there who can sacrifice their life, take care of her and have the same dream with her. Go Go Ho Rang.

ixx_dh81 Nov 21 2017 3:02 am Anyone watched Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu? The story kinda similar with it. Or this one is the adapted version from the jdorama?

Lizzie Nov 20 2017 6:24 pm I dont usually comment but I just wanted to express how much I love this drama. This drama has really surprise me because there are dramas which youve been anticipating but turns out to be just mehhhh..but there are dramas like these that just surpise you. The slow build up but still catches ur interest in the first eps.

The actors plus the story line are just perfect its ligh but at the same time has depth. It evokes a lot of emotions for maybe people like me. It makes you feel like you suddenly the kind of relationship that See Hee and Ji Ho has.

I liked Jung So Min ever since I watched her in playful kiss but this is so far her best. I think she has become my favorite Korean actress. Hope they giver her more drama.

As for Lee Min Ki, didnt really notice him before but this drama has certainly made me see him in a new light. He has become more lovable in my eyes :* :*

I sooooooo cannooottt wait for the next episodes. Moooree pleaseeee

Squidscapel Nov 20 2017 5:05 pm Whoaaaa this drama story is daebak! Love this!

awwwwww Nov 20 2017 9:30 am This drama give me soo many sweet moment.... i bet I got diabetic coma at the end of this drama.....

uyung Nov 20 2017 4:18 am finally found a new drama that I'm really into this, every episode and scene I will not miss it, Ji Hoo character really hit me so hard, even thought I was not 30 but soon I will and it was like a reflection on me, about never give up about your dream, about what you want to do to make you happy, about being happy for your self, and about the meaning of marriage.

Oh I'm babbling a lot hahahaha, pls. anyone could you advice the other drama which has similar story or conflict.

thnks anyway

AA Nov 19 2017 9:48 am What is the title of the song when they kissed in ep 11?

Sandy Nov 19 2017 5:11 am This kdrama described the reality of life nowadays. I can feel the lead actress role whom is in early 30s because I'm in my late 20s and become 30 soon but there are some things not going well as planned..sad.LOL. WORTH watching anyway!

Janx Nov 18 2017 7:00 pm So excited for the next episode.. BECAUSE IT'S MY FIRST DESIRE!

Unlike the other drama that we can predict whats the probable situation.. The cold yet cute behavior of the leading man makes me love this drama.. It really makes me cry and laugh too much as well..

Donahmee Nov 17 2017 4:23 pm This is my new favorite drama as of now.. I loved the storyline. And now im super in love with it.. Looking forward for se hee and ji hos first night together in one bed! Hope its true that they are sleeping together.. Heheh hoping!

Tinszkie Nov 17 2017 12:03 pm Heart this drama because it’s so relatable to real life situation, especially to us the 30s age group lol

I like that JSM’s character Ji Ho is strong and her friends are supportive LMK? His character See Hee is annoying yet charming but damn.. LMK can kiss y’all haha

Bok Nam is literally a human puppy, he’s so cute..

Dreamer Nov 17 2017 9:12 am Must Watch Drama... :)

LoneGunMan Nov 16 2017 10:08 pm Maria, yes that is Lee Chung-ah

Best Kdrama 2017 Nov 16 2017 12:21 pm This is definitely a worth watch Kdrama of 2017, the storyline is just Daebak!! The cast were truly amazing, their roles are catchy as ever in realistic kind of way. This drama deserves an award same with its actors and actresses it is just one of the best! It got me super hooked just the first time I've watch it. Cute, funny and lovable characters and story, truly deserves recognition for this one!!

i am here Nov 16 2017 8:40 am I LOVE this drama. Everything about it is perfect -from the cast to the story line, and the quirky little parts which contribute to the overall effect of watching this drama. The main couple are so adorably awkward yet it's actually not awkward to watch them. They are both so beautifully innocent in their own ways that you feel like you just have to continue watching their scenes.

What I also love about this drama is the fact that the main couple are not always the center of attention, which is good in building drama but also showing other elements too. It's wonderful and refreshing to take a step back and see the other two couples, and it shows how each and every relationship is different.

But what I appreciated the most about this drama is that nearly everything is relatable. It perfectly captures the problems that society and especially young people are facing on a daily basis, whether it's relationship pressures, workplace discrimination, or commitment and marriage. I know these issues have been portrayed in other dramas too, but this drama is able to show them without the cheesiness yet at the same time makes the overall drama so cute and lovely to watch.

momo Nov 16 2017 6:10 am This drama is so real.. I love it

al Nov 15 2017 8:42 pm Funny and honest telling the story. This drama has the best flow so far. The little and unexpected events occured do not break the flow of the whole story. The confusion may present but it doesn't ruin the feeling which has been build. Morover, the acting of each cast is superb. For me, it's 8.5/10

Maria Nov 15 2017 9:52 am Is that Lee Chung-ah in episode 12?

Kitsy Nov 15 2017 7:11 am I find this dram somewhat interesting...it's something different. It leaves so much for imagination, which is good. It's also nice the way Ji-ho thinks (cute and funny). Congratulations to the writers...

Bam Nov 15 2017 4:58 am Yoon Ji-Ho, so you're a pervert actually

Rick Nov 14 2017 9:55 pm God, I can't stop watching this drama, it's so simple and so touching at the same time. This drama has impecable writing!!! Do any of you guys know the name of the poem in episode 11? Tks!

it'sm3 Nov 14 2017 8:23 pm Lee Min Kee, you're just adorable! Jung So-Min, I always love you ...

ceegeh Nov 14 2017 5:58 pm @Monsieur Panda his name is Kim Min-kyu. He was also on "i can see your voice" (-‿-) ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪♫♬

Weirdnerd Nov 14 2017 3:38 pm @monsieur panda I believe the hot almost-rapist guy is called kim min kyu.. I was watching I can see your voice the other day and he was one of the contestants. I think that is how he got noticed.. it was amazing.

@Namsehee @yan2x I have also been looking for the kiss ost forever but can't find it's name. Hope they release it soon because I need it on my playlist so that I can act like a forlorn, love-deprived fool when I'm on the bus or tube. Lololol

Joonie❤️ Nov 14 2017 12:52 pm I just love this drama ? The way Se Hee open up his heart to Ji Ho and how to do the actual kiss ?

Yan2x Nov 14 2017 9:06 am @Namsehee. I also love that ost, I was searching for it since last week but until now that ost was not uet released. But I guess the Ben was the singer of that ost. :)

Inspired viewer Nov 14 2017 8:28 am I'm so emotionally invested with this drama, I can't even breathe. I love Jung So Min's boldness and Lee Min Ki's funny antics. This show is so good.

Monsieur Panda Nov 14 2017 7:34 am Does anyone know the hot almost-rapist guy?

Azel Dionisio Nov 14 2017 6:59 am I really love this drama,the story,the script,omoo everything! It's so amazing.This drama makes my heart beat so fast

Namsehee Nov 14 2017 6:51 am Does anyone know the title of the backsound when they're kissing? I'm dying to know

shalini Nov 14 2017 4:14 am This drama is so good that i am totally addicted to it. can't wait for more episode. se hee is really good kisser. and the background was so amazing, the perfect sunset. so beautify. This drama is so cool. loving it.

jorj Nov 14 2017 3:42 am I LOVE IT!!!! especially the way se hee SMOOTHLY, SIMPLY inserted the "kiss on the bus stop" topic so that he can score a kiss hahahaha!!!! "oh by the way i've been meaning to correct something for a while now" hahaha... that shows that for a while now he's having all sorts of feelings towards her too... LOVE THE STORY... LOVE THE CASTS... LOVE THE OST... FIGHTING!!!

Chellsy Nov 14 2017 12:08 am I love it so much,but so sad i think in episode 12 the ex-wife of lee min kee will appear,,,why oh why..its a very lovely scene already why she need to appear...

Melody Nov 13 2017 11:58 pm This movie is really natural beautiful. I like both mean actor and actress. Episode after episode... more than interesting. Love it!

Al Nov 13 2017 6:20 pm This drama has the best flow i've seen so far. The consistency of the story and acting become a plus from me. Truthfully, i've been watching more than 167 k-dramas and most of them have the same fault, the inconsistent story and flow. Morover, the acting from each casts potray the story well. A sudden event does come up in the drama but it doesn't ruin the flow. A confusion might present at a very few points but it is not a huge mistake.

8,5/10

GH ❤️kpopfan Nov 13 2017 5:22 pm "do you want to do it more"! that comment killed me! That "second kiss" or according to Se-Hee, that "first kiss". Ohh that was too good to be true! that was beautiful.

Plus that poem is really deep- I want to read it too.m

I love the lead up to it and subtlely understanding each other's feelings!!!

Just like Jung So MIn#1 fan I also wonder " Yoon Nan-Joong writer-nim, will Ji Ho's friends ever know that one of the reasons she quit writing dramas was because she almost got raped? Will Ji Ho be able to redeem herself as a writer? Will the awful asshole who sexually assaulted her ever get the karma he deserves? Writer-nim, please say so, because there are still a lot of sexual assault cases these days. South Korea has plenty of them, and victims probably refuse to speak out about it. In any case, even if the guy who did this to Ji Ho doesn't get imprisoned, will Ji Ho become a successful writer?"

Anyways that was such a good episode A++

Jung So Min #1 Fan Nov 13 2017 4:05 pm Yoon Nan-joong writer-nim, will Ji Ho's friends ever know that one of the reasons she quit writing dramas was because she almost got raped? Will Ji Ho be able to redeem herself as a writer? Will the awful asshole who sexually assaulted her ever get the karma he deserves? Writer-nim, please say so, because there are still a lot of sexual assault cases these days. South Korea has plenty of them, and victims probably refuse to speak out about it. In any case, even if the guy who did this to Ji Ho doesn't get imprisoned, will Ji Ho become a successful writer? I wonder a lot about that.

gy_ya Nov 13 2017 3:29 pm Oh my god! That second kiss is the best kiss I've ever seen in a Korean drama.I wasn't ready..I knew he was a good kisser but I didn't know he was THAT good.So-min was great too.You two are just too perfect.

Bebang Nov 13 2017 12:25 pm I love this drama.. everything is fresh.. especially the character

boo Nov 12 2017 11:22 pm this is such a refreshing slice-of-life story.. but beyond the comedy and romance, it gives a modern representation of life and as really beautiful quotes done by Dos hidden. I think viewers can relate to the quotes as well. beautifullly done and awfully funny I dieded at the "musical" scene where everyone dances with the guy

Se Hee saranghae Nov 12 2017 12:23 am Idk i just love this drama so much i watched the 10 episodes straight because im somewhat addicted to the story!! I love how Se Hee begins to smile when he gets fond of Ji Ho!! Fighting!! Probably one of the best drama in 2017. Its so refreshing and smooth.

ulan Nov 11 2017 2:42 am I love this drama so much! It has Simple slice of life plot story, yet has best heartwarming drama script!! My best 2017 drama ????

Goldy Nov 11 2017 1:31 am I just got hooked with kdrama again! this is so refreshing ,recent kdramas now are more on fantasy, action or thriller, and I missed this kind of story,as well as having a rich guy fall inlove and defending a poor GIRL...aigooo.. but I fell inlove with lee min kin all over again,he's has not been on screen for some time and this come back suits him well!I like their chemistry and am looking forward to see more of them on screen!Aja! I recommend this drama 100%

Goldy Nov 11 2017 1:30 am I just got hooked with kdrama again! this is so refreshing ,recent kdramas now are more on fantasy, action or thriller, and I missed this kind of story,as well as having a rich guy fall inlove and defending a poor guy...aigooo.. but I fell inlove with lee min kin all over again,he's has not been on screen for some time and this come back suits him well!I like their chemistry and am looking forward to see more of them on screen!Aja! I recommend this drama 100%

Ohayo Nov 10 2017 8:06 pm This drama is a bit similar to a jdorama i have watched, but the title escapes me atm. The guy was a stiff programmer with a house and the girl needed a place to stay. And they had a set up marriage for convenience.

But thats the only similarity. I like this kdrama more because the characters are more relatable

Pojitha Sri Nov 10 2017 8:23 am This is a very refreshing drama. It has less number of the common kdrama troupes (first love leads, serial killer etc.). Even though fake marriage is done many times in KDramas this one is quite uniquely done. Can’t wait for the next episode!!!! Fighting!!!

Ailee Nov 09 2017 3:35 pm Anneyeong! Without realizing i have forgotten to fall in love but now here i am jinja sarang!!! Sarang xxx

Pandora Nov 09 2017 3:14 pm I can't express in words how amazing and wholesome this drama is. I love everything about it, the story is 10/10, the cast is superb, the romance is giving me diabetes!I'm in LOVE with Lee Min-Ki (Se Hee), he fits his character like a glove and Jung So-min (Ji Ho) is so pure, I could watch her all day. I wish this drama had 500 episodes, I wouldn't mind even just watching our main couple sit and watch soccer! The script is also hands down one of the best, so realistic and relatable sometimes, and the delivery even better. 12/10 would recommend to watch!!!!!

Ronny Nov 09 2017 1:05 pm Awsone drama after a long time. Cant wait for another episodes.

jellyfish Nov 09 2017 12:07 pm T_T hiiinggg~ I'm so desperate for a next episode,, killing days so hard..

fea Nov 09 2017 11:01 am I love this drama so much didn't expect to be in love with sehee and jiho

BTIMFL Nov 09 2017 9:35 am I never imagined the kind of relationship between Se hee and Ji Ho but when I watch this drama, it's kind of dreamy and romantic that I want to experience it. haha. how tingling it will be?

Katy Nov 09 2017 9:26 am everytime I watch one episode I hunger for another. Waah. Can't wait for the next week. Se hee and Ji Ho saranghae!?

Maria Nov 09 2017 7:30 am I'm more interested in the Sang-Goo and Soo-Ji story, cute and funny and oh Sang-Goo is just adorable.

chocolatefav Nov 08 2017 8:40 am anyone know what the title song ost of episode 9 ? its so sad, but I dont know what it. please tell me~

ridwan Nov 08 2017 5:58 am This is truly modern reinterpretation of full house...i truly love the story A house poor man need a housemate that can pay the rent and houseless woman desperately need house.... To overcome the situation, they married, >_<

"Will you marry me?" "Yes" "By any chance, do you love me?" "No"

Ninaanabelle Nov 08 2017 4:41 am cant hardly wait until next week T_T aaaaaaaaaaaaaah im dying watched trailer ep 11. Did Se Hee actually make a move???????? Kissing scene between Se Hee and Ji Hyo.... i hope its not a dream or imagination......

nam nam Nov 07 2017 8:05 pm What happen with her first love at ending eps 9. That so sick

Dina Nov 07 2017 1:53 pm The preview always killing me

Miss Ai Nov 07 2017 11:07 am I really shocked at the ending ep 9!!! The marriage certificate is a plot twist that make me upset and sad because it shows that ji ho is not the first love of se hee~ as I know first love is very hard to forget...arfhhh I felt it is unfair for ji ho because se hee is her first love...I don't know it is mixed emotion after finished watching ep 9

LOve this drama Nov 07 2017 7:58 am Fresh and cute story.. love love love PD nim.. love all characters..

Fafi4 Nov 07 2017 5:52 am Thanks to all the writers and actors for such an enjoyable drama. I can't get enough!

Hfsh Nov 07 2017 3:15 am This story line is so awrrr :(

eifa Nov 07 2017 3:07 am i am so surprised to see the marriage certificate..... omg... i almost cried because he said love is also once.....meaning that he loved someone before....

YoonJiHoo Nov 07 2017 1:40 am I'm so inlove with these drama! Looking forward fir the next eps:)

jema neutron Nov 07 2017 1:39 am this drama is simple yet cute waiting for next episode ?

Nene Nov 07 2017 12:56 am A little bit spoiler. This is my second comment for this drama. Heol! So many emotions i felt, and my emotions are like a roller coaster ride. I realy love the story line, but episode 9 ending scene really shocked me. Too difficult to describe in english, i just feel "nyesek"

Ninaanabelle Nov 07 2017 12:04 am Im sooooo in love with this drama. Fallin in loveeeeeeee with the flat face Se Hee. ^_^ Sarangahaaaaaaeeeeee Lee Min Ki

Asoka Nov 06 2017 11:56 pm I am 30 too and I really like this drama

LoneGunMan Nov 06 2017 10:18 pm I think that Se Hee saying there can be only 1 love is going to be the problem they will face. I think his previous wife Jung Min was the one love of his life. I am assuming she passed away. Going to have to be resolved soon... only 7 episodes to go.

Glad Bok Nam was not the stalker.

Cheonna Nov 06 2017 9:16 pm I just finished watching the ep 9 and OMG !!! Se-Hee is married before!!!! Ahh what a twist.

the cat joke tho was so extra LMAO

Maria Nov 06 2017 7:06 pm Episode 9 was love! Once he hold her hand...he didn't know how to let go. Aaaww!

june su Nov 06 2017 2:14 pm I love this drama and the characters!

MyNameIsCha Nov 06 2017 9:51 am I love this drama!!!!

ck107 Nov 06 2017 9:25 am I love the story. It's refreshing. The characters' way of thinking is making it into a great drama.

Fawfaw Nov 05 2017 12:54 am sooooo recommended!! very good drama. I love how a cold man get jealous but he don't know that he is jealous. This drama teach us that we cannot live without love.

Dina Nov 04 2017 8:46 pm I have fun watch this drama. Can't wait for next eps

unnie krung Nov 04 2017 1:34 pm i am so hypedddddd i just finished the latest ep and now i cant wait for the next episodes!!!! i find lee min ki very attractive even though its my first time encountering him tee hee

it'sm3 Nov 03 2017 9:55 am Nooo ... Bok Nam, don't be the bad one :-(

helomekinvedasts Nov 02 2017 7:36 pm Yeah......he must be upset because of Kitty. Right...? My wife and I are enjoying this drama. Funny and fresh as someone wrote. And Lee Min Ki, in MONSTER was pure evil. I'm waiting for him to go ballistic on the "born in 1994" dude.

Keep your hands off somebody's wife, dumb*ss.

iwan217 Nov 02 2017 5:31 pm it is a really fresh drama. i love the setting in Se Hee office....it is fun seeing his start-up company team :D

Dee Nov 02 2017 11:42 am This drama is daebaaak.... Cant wait for next episode... Monday Come faster please...

Doris Nov 02 2017 5:41 am i love this drama. so cute and quiet...very interesting and lovable. i love lee min ki and jung so min and all the casts.

leane Nov 02 2017 3:12 am was that JO IN SUNG in Ma Sang-Goo's reflection in the car during his morning walk?????

heol Nov 01 2017 6:50 pm so on episode 8 (?) boknam said jiho is pretty with sleeveless is that he watch her and sehee on the bus in episode 4 and how can boknam know sehee sign? interesting btw

Karen B. Nov 01 2017 11:54 am OMG! im catching to watch all the eps .and im loving it so much..im on my ep8 now..cant wait for next week.. i love everything.. fighting

kittyweese Nov 01 2017 9:37 am Loved Sang Goo's "morning walk" in Episode 8!! Loving this drama.

Dahnia Nov 01 2017 9:02 am Wahhh... This drama is Daebak... I know it's aired at cable tv, but it deserves higher rating, I guess. It's the best ongoing drama this time. Really can't wait for next eps. It's made me too reluctant to watch the other dramas. Se hee, ji ho, ho rang, wo seok, soo ji, ceo ma, bo mi, I love you all. You're doing greatt. ????

Pre Nov 01 2017 7:42 am Heol~~~Can't wait on how Se Hee will show his feelings for JiHo.

Oliveoyl Nov 01 2017 4:36 am OMG I have same feeling about this drama with you, Nam Se Hee. I agree with your comment too except Bok Nam. He is so cute. But in ep 7 he looks like not a good namja. If he is, I hope se hee will punch him on his face. Hehehe... And Esom. Omo omo... Finally I found her in her best appearance in this drama. So beautiful and her acting is good, so with jung so min and kim ga eun. Love all the main role in this drama.

Nanana Nov 01 2017 4:02 am Love it!! Current fave drama.. cant wait for new episode next week!! The story is strong, all characters are unique. I just.. love this drama it makes me hope another weeks pass so we can meet se hee and ji ho again.. bikin baper pokoknya lagh.. ??

Kania Azalea Nov 01 2017 12:15 am Monday please come faster

Pat Oct 31 2017 9:42 pm I am at the edge of my seat each week I watch this drama. I really like the development of the main characters. I just finished watching episode 8, and I would say to watch it. I can hardly wait for the next ep.

The entire drama gradually develops the romance of the lead couple showing how each individual is growing together.

Anyway - watch it - it is really worth it.

NamYoon couple Oct 31 2017 9:18 am Looking forward to see Jiho and Se Hee influence each others life and manage the hardship together

Nam Se Hee Oct 31 2017 9:14 am I have been watching this drama over and over again for each episodes. Sometime dying waiting for new episodes in the next week! Please make Jiho and Se Hee a real married couple. Cakanim, Please dont make any strange unfinished ending. Btw Bok Nam is attractive but I really hate him! He is just annoying and immature. I wish to see Se Hee punched Bok Nam lol....

LoneGunMan Oct 31 2017 8:15 am Bam, LOL! I agree with you about Yoon Bo-Mi.

Bok Nam Oct 30 2017 10:55 pm I like Bok Nam... yet he is creepy

Bam Oct 30 2017 10:15 pm I don't know why but i just keep looking Yoon Bo-Mi in this drama. She is play unique character. Yoon Bo-Mi, you're so adorable. FYI, its my first time see Yoon Bo-Mi. After seeing this drama, i search info about her and know she is actually a singer & what previous drama she joined. At the first, i think there will be shocking scene when Bok-Nam find out about Ji-Ho's marriage. But it just my opinion in the end. Let's see what going on to night 8th episode. Thks. (I'm Indonesian)

shya Oct 30 2017 10:05 pm Beautiful drama. I like all the three couples and the chemistry. Also, cute colleague who is always first to understand the main lead. Its cute and fun.

nctivied Oct 30 2017 7:54 pm Really good drama and funny, I love se hee character

Dsnumami Oct 30 2017 11:26 am Love this drama so much

honey swan Oct 30 2017 7:53 am Bok nam appearance very shocking... i fall with him, love this drama, this romance make me melted.

rinalynsantos Oct 30 2017 6:55 am this drama is so beautiful and bomi is so cute

May Oct 29 2017 2:49 pm I super like this drama.. i can really relate with the characters... ?? ???

megan Oct 29 2017 1:49 am Such a GREAT drama! Initially I didn't watch it because the synopsis makes it seem super generic but I started it yesterday on a whim bc I was in procrastination mode.

It is actually so good! Pretty down to earth if anything - definitely NOT a generic marriage contract makjang drama.

Best of all, all of the actors/actresses are top notch! They really really suit their roles and they pull it off so so so well.

If anyone likes Age of Youth and is bummed that 2 seasons are over, I recommend this for you all! It's another down to earth but super interesting drama.

I do not regret starting this at all (so far at least - currently waiting for ep 7).

aria Oct 28 2017 10:26 am freaking awesome drama why did i discover this so late damn i watched 6 episodes in one day it's so damn good i'm soo happy with this drama !!

Peachy Oct 28 2017 9:44 am Cliche. Introduction of second male. Then Se-Hee would be jealous and realize he likes her more than a tenant. The Bok Nam character is way tooo cute for that I dislike him already.

Intan Oct 27 2017 11:57 pm I'm pretty sure I know the girl playing Ho Rang's friends at work, the girl with long straight hair and prettiest (imo). Anyone know what's her name? I can't remember where i've seen her before.

Anna Oct 27 2017 11:02 pm Excited to see how sehee fall in love with jiho.. Daebak he is such so heartless... But I ship them!!!

Erika Oct 27 2017 4:48 pm Can Se Hee and Ji Ho maybe like, idk, love each other? After watching episode 6, I'm dying here waiting for things to happen. PLS FALL IN LOVE ALREADY!! However Bok Nam up in here with his adorable self... seeing a jealous Se Hee will be the bane of my existence.

deedee Oct 27 2017 2:15 pm Who's the actor playing Yongsuk?

Ish Oct 27 2017 1:37 pm I actually get to discover this drama because of Kim Mingue (who plays Yeon Boknam) but the storyline got me! Especially the role of Somin. I don’t write as a profession but I write for passion, but I can somewhat relate to her struggles. With a man whom she thought was a lover, a not so perfect job, and a not so good family ties. Also, the fact that Minki and Somin aren’t initially drawn together by infatuation but by the fact that they need each other in other ways, even though Somin has been attracted to him somewhat, makes this storyline more interesting! Another thing is that, this drama is one with a very light story, and something that can make us feel like giving love another chance! Plus, Bomi is hereeeee she’s so cute, isn’t she? I can’t wait to get to know more about this story! Finally a drama that is good-feel. (Also, I’ve been raving so hard over Kim Mingue ohmygosh) ♥️♥️♥️

Bongchuk Oct 27 2017 6:14 am Can't believe Bomi's name in the drama is the same as her real name. HAHA, Fits though.

AAA Oct 27 2017 5:31 am I think this drama has same plot with J-dorama "Nigeru wa haji da ga yaku ni tatsu", which is the man role in K-drama has same characteristics with the man role in J-dorama, Gen Hoshino who didn`t know what the love is and after he met Yui Aragaki, they loved each other, from employer-maid to husband-wife romance..

Intan Oct 27 2017 4:29 am I'm freakingly love this dramaaa argh.. Nam se hee tricked me, i think this will be smooth for ji ho but no. Se hee don't like being disturbed. I love now how the "kdrama maker" look for the detail of the story. Staff분들 화이팅!

Rhyss ikram, dr Oct 26 2017 7:37 am I’m commenting here again.. Lmk and his straight face -with ‘Yeppo’.....’omchong’ ...Lol hahaha But then the mother-daughter relationship...always touched me...how heartbreaking...all these moments & the mixed up of emotions.. What a great drama....can’t wait for the coming episodes..

mamamia Oct 26 2017 7:35 am done loved. my favourite!! <3 <3

Ierizu Perona Oct 25 2017 9:17 pm This drama has touched my heart. I can feel Nam Se Hee or Ji Ho feelings, i mean i can catch the situation and feel like im in the drama too, haha seriously this drama can make me have many feelings at each episode

it'sm3 Oct 25 2017 8:23 pm Highly recommend this drama ... funny and interesting. I've always been a fan of beautiful Jung So Min, first time I noticed Lee Min Ki watched Monster and going to see his past dramas for sure. I love his cyborg-like role here, weird but charming. But oh boy, new guy Bok Nam is so cute I just saw him in ICSYV this kid Kim Min-Kyu will play out. Can't wait to see future episodes to the last. My favorite drama so far.

donahmeee Oct 25 2017 3:10 pm Nam se hee will be jealous to bok nam! Hehe cute. Love this story so far... !excited for ep 7 and 8. Tue and wed please be quick!!!! ???

fifi farya Oct 25 2017 10:13 am they are soooo cute...couple. love this drama so much. can't wait for the next episode, .....and the next, and the next, and the next......

K Oct 25 2017 10:08 am I never like to watch ongoing drama, but this drama is different! I can't wait for the next episode! I like the story, it's kinda different from the other "marriage contract" drama, and the whole drama is not about the contract. The character is also great. If you're doubting yourself whether to watch it or not, I'll recommend this to who like romance-comedy, a little bit of family story, and realistic friendship. And the actors and actresses are great! I hope you won't disappointed after watch this, well, the only thing that will disappoint you is the fact that this drama is still ongoing :(

Dahnia Oct 25 2017 9:12 am That's why I don't like watching ongoing drama. ? I've got addicted. I can't wait for the next eps. This is one of the best. Very recomended. I love it too much.

Amy Oct 25 2017 1:19 am I like the wardrobe/fashion of the lead actress. anyone know where do i find her style.

Nanana Oct 25 2017 1:13 am This drama so cute... simple and cute. Love it.. the characters are unique and strong.. the friendship are hilarious.. ji ho.. so pretty ??

sin them all Oct 25 2017 12:22 am dudeee it was a great episode. i love it. waiting for ep 7.

Elona Oct 24 2017 8:30 pm I love Se Hee, but I’m officially in love with Bok Nam. Can’t wait for Episode 7!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Leka Oct 24 2017 6:23 pm Episode 6 and Simply in love! <3

Fuchsia Oct 24 2017 5:09 pm Best drama for me, I like the couple and their strange relationship, I admire the fact that she will be the reason of his transformatiom to a more humanly version ❤ I just can't wait for next week

crispsy Oct 24 2017 2:21 pm It has been several years that i thought a drama will be sooo addictive like this!!! I like how the story's going. Its not that heavy and so realistic. Actually ive been tired of kdrama these day, the story line is too heavy and idk but its seems boring thus i can predict the ending.

But this drama is different!!! Really cant wait for the next episode❤️❤️❤️

Sky Oct 24 2017 12:50 pm Do any of you know the name of the actor that play as PD youngseok?

sophie Oct 24 2017 11:28 am Best drama of 2017 for me.

jihyun Oct 24 2017 9:07 am lol finally minki and minseok reunite?? like seriously i didn't even recognize that minki is byunghee from shut up flower boyband before i opened his profile?

Vizilia Oct 24 2017 8:48 am This drama is so addictive! I love the lead roles... their chemistry is so good! Can't wait for episode 7! ❤❤❤

Leanne Oct 24 2017 8:30 am Love this drama so far! Casts are great and so is the plot. Refreshing and very entertaining. This drama has so much charm. Hope it'll receive more love from the audience. Se hee❤️Ji ho

Azrinatul muttamimah Oct 24 2017 7:39 am This one is fresh and refreshing. I really love it, it's really different from other drama. Hope there's more about this drama and i looking forward. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just wanna come and say... Oct 24 2017 2:09 am lol isn't Jung So min also a writer but a perverted one in The Red Teacher?

Katie Oct 23 2017 9:27 pm Lol OMG why is Hwang Suk-Jun a writer in this one too ? she perfect in her roles. I would have to save this a good one lift your spirits if you having a shitty day.

Putriii Oct 23 2017 5:25 pm Love this drama so much??

aru Oct 23 2017 3:44 pm Very nice drama loving it.

lmk lover Oct 23 2017 2:29 pm first time writing a comment after years of lurking here!

I just want to put my overflowing love for this show into writing. The drama has its own charm and warmth that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Every episode tugs your heart and at the same time, feels like a tight embrace. All of the actors and actresses portrayal are spot on, too. Well, I guess, I'm just so in love with this show!!! I'm sure you'll have the same love for it once you watch it. :)

Tata Oct 23 2017 7:20 am Love this drama ❤

Rhyss ikram, dr Oct 23 2017 6:36 am This story is totally funny & entertaining... lmk is so straight like a ruler...his expression...lol...! Jsm is as usual responding & reacting with a genuine craziness & awesomely hilarious. I like them so much...daebak.

honey swan Oct 22 2017 7:47 pm I'm so in love with Se Hee ??? love his character

Gift Oct 22 2017 9:01 am @nire you are right, I also thought that and only loved a few dramas like the best hit and some other few but now I'm watching almost all the movies that came out sept. and this oct. They are just so amazing. Good stories and very well layer out entertainment.

rzd Oct 22 2017 7:11 am I'm in love with this drama ♥ The story line is so good, the acting too and every conversation between nam se hee & yoon ji ho is making me thrilled. Can't wait for the relationship of them to be unfold.

nire Oct 21 2017 4:45 pm i feel like the first half of 2017 was just a bad time for kdramas but.... we have been getting some amazing dramas lately, especially because this is my first life.

Gift Oct 21 2017 12:20 pm Yea its really good, I'm impressed. Lee Min-Ki_Nam Se-Hee's expression is priceless. I love it.

nov Oct 20 2017 8:56 pm Seriously this is good ....

Rosalie Oct 20 2017 11:58 am Woah daebak. This drama is so great!!!! And suddenly monday is becoming my favorite day because of this drama. Uhhh I like it a lot. Can't wait for the next episode.

yzm Oct 20 2017 9:16 am This is like the perfect blend of romance and slice of life seriously it's so good!! I'm not the biggest fan of the directing tho I think it's a bit rough around the edges, but so far the story, writing and acting is 10/10!

yz Oct 20 2017 2:41 am I knew it, this was worth the wait. Mi Young, I miss you! ? I still ship you and Lee Joon hehe

Dahnia Oct 20 2017 2:32 am So far this drama is totally great. It's beyond my expectation. tvn is content trend leader ha? I always find great dramas aired by tvn. Can't wait for the next eps. Hope it's gonna still great till the end. Hwaiting. ?

planet Oct 20 2017 1:58 am this drama is so good.... seriously... i wasnt expect this drama gonna be this good

dilo Oct 19 2017 9:05 am @gy_ya i wasn't expecting a kiss and a marriage proposal in the first two episodes lol the cliffhanger in this drama is really something hehehe

gy_ya Oct 19 2017 7:18 am Finally a drama to watch after Goblin.It feels like a real life story than a drama and it keeps getting better and better! BUT I must admit I wasn't expecting that kiss for the first time in a Korean drama lol.

noona Oct 19 2017 4:04 am This is really interesting !! how many episode this drama have ??

bona Oct 19 2017 4:01 am I really love the main couple they are weirdly cute and shippable! there is no romantic scenes yet but still the couple is too lovely to watch

aa bb Oct 18 2017 10:46 pm one of my favorite so far...love it!!!

souna Oct 18 2017 2:26 pm the storyline is good and logic, i like this type of dramas, love every single second of it. honestly the cast is very talented and pretty

fea Oct 18 2017 1:14 pm what a lovely drama i hope it is happy ending

LoneGunMan Oct 18 2017 8:27 am All shows are copied by others, even the Americans copied A Good Doctor. India copied A Man from Nowhere... LOL! Pretty funny show, Lee Min Ki's deadpan acting is good as the nerdy techie.

glande Oct 18 2017 2:44 am To people who are saying this is not a copy of We Married as a Job just let me say that there's buzzing and talk on the press in south korea that the writer only copied this much because the original japanese manga and drama were not licensed in south korea. If they were she would sure be sued for plagiarism.

sandes Oct 18 2017 1:02 am It's awsom.best till now.makes me wonder what's next.

Moonlight Oct 17 2017 12:50 pm Loved this drama soooooo much ♡♡♡

Bam Oct 17 2017 10:55 am As long as i watched this drama make me realized that the trailer show 2 episodes ahead.

kittyweese Oct 17 2017 9:17 am LOVE this drama! Healer was my all time favorite, but this is quickly moving to the top.

Bomi Oct 16 2017 12:17 am I watched this drama for Bomi because I really really love Apink and I got hooked when I watched the very first episode. This has a great plot and I hope to see more of Bomi here haha. I love Bomi's character LOL. Sorry I'm just too happy to see Bomi act in a drama. Se Hee and Ji Ho are so cute and adorable. The OST Part 1 is so addicting since the melody is upbeat. Two thumbs up for this drama ??

Nuguboda Oct 15 2017 4:48 am My biggest question is what happened with those sandwiches ordered by Sang Goo? They ate sandwiches from Ji Ho, right? Am I missed the story? :"D

esie Oct 14 2017 10:50 pm While this drama does have a similarity with "we got married as a job", the feel is totally different. This drama alludes more maturity and more chemistry between the characters.The characters also have more of a background, especially the main female character. Seeing the first two episodes, so-min definitely has a charming character that struggles with her dream and her family/friend life. Mainly, her problem lies within her dream not going as she wants it to. I hope to see her grow as a person as the episodes come. I look forward to more character development!

hana Oct 14 2017 5:09 pm omo i didn't know lee min ki was back in dramaland !! i am so going to watch this drama.

xxi Oct 14 2017 2:22 pm Lee Min Ki is like a fine wine... He's hella hot now. Every project chosen by these two are a guaranteed interesting. Idc about remake whatsover, i mean, it is a normal thing. Anyway. THE CHEMISTRY IS ON POINTTTTT I'm shooookt

Nyan Oct 14 2017 10:56 am I really love how they made you fall in love with SoHee's boyfriend at episode 1 then gradually dislike him at the start of episode 2. It is also amazing how they can let you empathize with Jung SoMin.

Really love this. I hope they'll get more views and higher ratings.

evrem Oct 14 2017 6:01 am I really loved this drama. Watched it before reading comments and I felt a little jdrama touch while watching it (especially the male lead). I haven't seen that jdrama mentioned and I don't really care if they are similar or not. I think that little jdrama flavour is sooo on point and I enjoyed :)

花火 Oct 14 2017 5:43 am I see the resemblance of this drama with japanese one; that the man and woman dont have desire each other. Se Hee working at IT company and ji ho who doing chores everyday, and decide to get married. But i think this drama has its own story and focus. I watched first and second episode, the chemistry between the cast are good, and make me excited to watch next episodes.

sunny Oct 14 2017 4:49 am Lee min ki and jung somin are showing some great chemistry. Looking forward to see more of their scenes and since they live together let the romance begin.

Maria Oct 14 2017 2:33 am Pretty much similar to JDrama "We Got Married As A Job". Similarities are too obvious, even the job of the guy is in computer/IT as with the J-drama. Now, it'll be too predictable. I'm disappointed as I really thought this would be different.

babyboy Oct 13 2017 10:56 pm omg i love the drama so much i'll check every single day for the updatesss

Mimou Oct 13 2017 3:14 pm Lee min ki my favorite actor i don't know why i can't see him a lot in TV i saw it first time in spellbound and fall in love with him .. i can't imagine another actor on his place in this series he is just the one who can make this drama more worth watching ???? fighting oppa i love u

irin Oct 13 2017 2:19 pm i finally found my new drama crack so excited for new episodes to come already

Joan Oct 13 2017 12:29 pm People saying this drama is a copy of we married as a job but how many romantic comedies with housemates as a theme have been made in korea alone? They don't even marry in this drama, which was a great part of we married as a job.

kisa Oct 13 2017 10:57 am this drama is so good i didn't expect it to be so beautiful

Aye Oct 13 2017 12:49 am Lee Min Ki and Kim Min Suk already worked together in Shut Up Flower Boy Band!!! I'm so happy to see these two together again in this drama!

d3in Oct 12 2017 9:55 am This has some similarities with jdrama We Married As a Job with better premise for the heroine. I really like that jdrama. I hope this drama can adorable as that.

Ren Oct 12 2017 6:33 am So basically the korean ver of nigehaji. Meh

Ms.Thidar Hlaing Oct 12 2017 6:10 am So much interesting drama. I am really willing to see next episodes.

mjlya01 Oct 12 2017 1:47 am similiar with dorama we married as a job

Carol Oct 12 2017 1:20 am I was a big fan of Father is Strange, so I watch this because So-Min is the lead. I like this drama so far, light yet entertaining. The perfect show for people in my age haha

Eman Oct 11 2017 4:13 pm It is very close to Japanese drama we married as a job

Minie Oct 11 2017 12:38 pm Woahh ,this drama is really good I will waiting for the next episode

Mindo Oct 11 2017 4:42 am “If you have some time, would you marry me?” OMG????

ssamja Oct 11 2017 12:42 am @vie haha.. me too this drama remember me to We Married as a job, ?

Dietmntndew Oct 10 2017 10:25 pm Surprisingly really good! So-Min fits the female lead very well! Seemed very promising so far, can't wait for future episodes!

vie Oct 10 2017 10:12 pm anyone get reminded of We married as a job [NIgeHaji]?? the resemblance is uncanny, it make me less excited that the premise isn't original

GiK Oct 10 2017 7:27 pm 2 eps and I love it already.It's really different in a good way. Dialogues are great and characters are well defined. Writers and cast doing an awesome work.

Qaa Oct 10 2017 6:34 pm I know the drama slots on Monday and Tuesday a lot of good ones and I dont care about the rating. this drama is very interesting from the beginning. storyline, character and their chemistry are amazing. I hope this drama will be many episodes, really worth it to watch!

tetot Oct 10 2017 6:20 pm watching this drama somehow make me remember one J-Drama played by aragaki yui. the storyline itself so much different, maybe because the male MC have almost same personality and it mentioning about marriage too. watching from the first 2 episodes I think the story will develop beatifully. patiently wait for the next.

donahmeee Oct 10 2017 3:05 pm Really happy watching the first ep. Waiting for the 2nd ep..

Mindo Oct 10 2017 9:43 am I start to watch it because of kim min suk, but the story itself is interesting and made me love it. Will continue watching hihi ^^

sam Oct 10 2017 7:09 am I love this. finally there's drama 0f 2017 that already made me fall in love in just 30 minutes.

tis Oct 05 2017 9:30 pm I miss Lee Min Ki !!! Glad he finally return to dramaland. Fighting for this drama !

비바 Oct 04 2017 2:12 pm @Gon, My thoughts are the same. The plot and the full trailer I saw in youtube has the same vibes as we married as a job. I was wondering aswell if this one is a remake of it since I really love the JP ver. ?

Gon Oct 04 2017 1:11 pm Is this a remake from japanese drama nigehaji? From the teasers i can see that this drama has somewhat similar plot with nigehaji (we got married as a job)

Beti Oct 02 2017 5:12 am Can't wait for this drama!!! They look like they have good chemistry together

Love this new korean drama... Sep 30 2017 6:31 am Love this new upcoming...excited for the story...

kiki Sep 28 2017 5:19 am Yoon Doo Joon always cameo in tvN's drama as Koo Dae Young. i'll bet he will cameo again as Koo Dae Young with Yoon Seo Hee..since they both are from Let's Eat..now we need Let's Eat 3.

House poor Sep 27 2017 9:45 am Why do I love how they use the word "house poor" XD ps. happy to see Lee Minki again finally!! :D

ellysmardiana Aug 10 2017 11:38 am Lee Min Ki is come back ? Fighting!!!

JooonMinShipper Aug 10 2017 10:17 am The plot actually reminds of me of Taiwanese drama Love or Break starring Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin.

Cra Aug 06 2017 12:26 pm Yes jungsomin finally back being lead actress!!! Hoping for more drama!!! Fighting!!!

neea Aug 06 2017 2:36 am Yeah! Jung SoMin, love her.

It will be a little difficult to see her with someone else after Lee Joon.

Anyway, hoping for the best, fighting!

Nina Aug 05 2017 8:46 pm This is soooo awesome! Lee Min Ki is such a great actor and it's been a while since he has been in a drama. I'm so glad he will be making his K-drama comeback alongside Jung So Min. She is such a phenomenal actress and it's nice to see she is finally getting the recognition she deserves.

xx Aug 04 2017 11:29 am Fighting oppa :") I wish you the best ♥ amd unni so min i love ur role in my father is strange ^^

Rara Park Aug 03 2017 10:19 am Yeah, Lee minki comeback! Welcome to dramaland. The plot is interesting, housemates are very romantic. I hope this drama genre romance comedy, it will be fresh and also fun later. I actually dont really like Jung somin but it's not her fault to try it. Hopefully later on the acting Jung somin makes me fall Love.

JoonMinShipper Aug 03 2017 2:26 am Wahhh Jung So Min! I'll miss seeing you together with Lee Joon in the small screen. T.T Good luck to your new drama!

beybifat Aug 03 2017 2:23 am im super excited...I thought it will take sometime again to see SoMin acting in another drama after father is strange...SoMin fighting!!!?
