    [Drama 2017] Because This Is My First Life 이번 생은 처음이라

    in k-dramas & movies

    Posted

    Just watched with subs and wanted to say this before going to sleep:

     

    I ugly cried at Ho Rang and Won Seok’s breakup scene. In the park. Like damn those lines. Especially the f****ng “It’ll be hard at first but you will be okay.” That’s when you know that there is no going back. 

     

    Kudos to the actors. And though it looks like Ho Rang went with another man... things aren’t always what they seem. I’ll reserve judgement for ep 14. Because I think, if I may venture a guess, her “showing off the new guy” to Won Seok may seem cruel on the surface, but if that’s what it takes for him to get angry enough to let her go and reclaim his dream and his life, then I think she did him a service. I know, twisted but... who knows? I think she won’t really date for a while. 

     

    SG and SJ was excellent as well. I love how they dealt with their situation. 

     

    Of course, SH and JH then JH and JM. Wow. This episode. 

     

    This drama just keeps getting better.

    LOL am I the only one who honestly thought he got up to get a condom? :lol: Which would totally suit his personality.

     

    I was fully expecting to be in his room to grab... a couple of those. And a beer. And possibly give himself a pep talk on how he can do it. Kidding. Not like Se Hee. Rather, cue sound digital sound effects while he's thinking, and once he's done thinking, he'll rush to the room, all ready to go. LOL :)

    When you think about it, the wedding and cohabitation between SH and JH was vital.

    SH need to face his past and let go to focus on his future.

    JH need to face her almost rape to write again. Both moments were so traumatic that JH and SH press pause on their future. 

    That’s sad and at the same time beautiful.

    They are each other saviors. 

     

    I was afraid that the rape wasn’t going to be resolved. But sometimes I forgot about it when JH took decisions. Everytime, it was in her head. In reality, she was in her room, on her own. I just didn’t realize it. 

     

    You're right. And apparently, the mind protects us from things that can hurt us. Ji Ho may have compartmentalized and put aside her memory of the night of the assault for now. That's why she had to step back from writing. It was a trigger. I think, while she may have disclosed it to Jung Min, she has yet to really let it sink in and face it. I am in awe of how brave she is when she was telling off the Director and the Writer. I am so glad she still had that strength. And that voiceover in the tunnel about "not letting others close to you see/know certain things." Se Hee and that room was indeed her room 19. At the time, he was still a stranger whose words she found comfort in. He didn't ask questions, he offered her sanctuary. And that is why, in that room, she was able to sleep the way she did. 

     

    Now, it's Se Hee's turn to open his own room to Ji Ho. I hope she opens the door herself, just like Se Hee symbolically did in Ep 11. That instead of Se Hee retreating into his self-imposed isolation, that Ji Ho would throw the doors open and show him a life that can be lived without the need to escape from it.

    The logic though... Ji-ho stopped being a writer after getting married but because it's so boring at home she is working in a cafe. Honey, you're lying to yourself! :wink:

     

    EDIT: Jung-min speaking my mind though.

     

    It happens.

     

    And can I just say that I do love Jung Min so far? I've never liked the Second Lead before. This is breaking my k-drama watching algorithm.

    I think so to. The whole beating the poor orange and Ji-ho basically breaking the orange apart is so telling. They're both equally nervous and well it's kind of a analogy for sexytime. ROFL:lol:

     

    Se Hee, stop beating around the orange and just go for it!!! LOL

     

    LOVE how Ji Ho went for it!!! Poor boy didn't stand a chance. He was wearing long sleeves, too! He must've been so uncomfortably warm... 

     

    * * *

     

    now that I think about it, once Se Hee realizes that Ji Ho was assaulted the night she came to him in pajamas (and let's face it, she look much cozier and a bit sexier than in that ruffled thing she was wearing in the Ep) won't he just lose his mind and hunt PD Jo down?

     

    * * *

     

    Is it just me or can we ruffle his hair a bit? I really am not liking the bangs. Too-Spock like. Ji-Ho, go run your fingers through his hair and just hold on to your man. Don't let him escape. LOL.

    Haha it's been 12 years! He's probably close to being a virgin himself :tongue:

     

    Hahahaha. Is that why he has 50 shades by his bedside? Se Hee, let me send you different and much better books on the topic. Hahahahah. 

     

    I now understand why the commercials are Cass beer and Nat Geo outwear in the friggin North Pole. We need all those things to cool down. Maybe turn the temp on the Kiturami boiler down. Sorry, the commercials got to me. LOL. I'm wearing a freakin mock turtleneck at work at the moment and I keep stretching it. I feel hot. LOL.

    Don't be sorry, @kelmaoneko--that's what I thought, too! And I'm pretty sure it was performance anxiety... I think he kinda got the sense that Ji Ho is a V**g*n. (Is that a bad word? anyway, think Madonna, and getting through the wildnerness...)

     

    GAD the slo mo is killing me. I can't. I need that damn Cass beer now. Or a cold shower. I need ice. I need something. I'm at my desk and DYING. LOL

    One more thing... I haven't watched the episode again (with or without subs) BUT I watched the bed scene too many times already hahahahha. 

     

    I love how Se Hee's hand lingers in Ji Ho's hair, his thumb gently caressing her hair/head. Such a tender gesture. It's so clear that the man is smitten with her. He did that too, letting his hand linger on her face/head/hair in the beach/ocean kiss scene. It's like he's holding something so precious. And I was blown away by his stare at Ji Ho's "sleeping" face. My god, my heart still stops even as I was recalling that scene from memory. Sooooo beautiful and loving!

     

    @sourmilk1495 I wish you a speedy recovery! I was down with the flu as well last week and I feel your pain. I'm still not fully recovered but the episodes and this thread is getting me there hahahaha. Take care!

    Man...just think about how crazy SH reaction is gonna be tomorrow once he finds out about the assault on JH.

     

     

     

     

    I know!!! We've seen him go nuts over Bok Nam. I don't think he'll need a rubiks cube for this one--it's pretty straightforward. A good kick in the camera? Car?

    Thank you Jr Mod @Jillia and @kelmaoneko for the amazing GIFS and images. Sooooooo good.

    No!!! haha I dont think it was a proper hug. I want a proper like full on body to body, super tight, slightly-swaying, standing, kinda hug.

     

    and I neeed some lighthearted convo between the 2 of them lol. I feel like every convo they have is so serious, deep, and meaningful.. I want them to have cute bickering and friendly debates about Arsenal. Or just something lighthearted.. JH teasing him about sth perhaps?

     

    I agree. Hehehhe. Since they are all about the books that they read, I hope Ji Ho sleeps in his room next time to be fair. And then she spies the 50 shades book. 

     

    “What is this?!” Ji Ho says, eyes wide in disbelief as she snatches the book from his headboard shelf. 

     

    Se Hee’s eyes widen in horror. He attempts to snatch the book from Ji Ho’s hands but she ducks out of his reach. “T-that’s nothing. That’s not mine! Give it back!”

     

    Ji Ho leafs through the pages, laughing. “Wow, Se Hee ssi. I never thought that you of all people...!” Ji Ho starts and she lands on a line in the book and starts reading it aloud, laughing. 

     

    Se Hee gives up trying to get the book instead gives her a back hug, his chin resting on her head as she reads and gasps in mock horror at what she’s reading. 

     

    “Let me go. I was just getting to the good part.” Ji Ho wriggled and Se Hee hugs her tighter. 

     

    He then bows his head next to hears until his lips nearly touches her ear and whispers. “Well, would you rather read about it or...” he trails off, smiling.

    Oh gosh. This is me with my kids now. I keep trying to get them to speak Korean with me, but they use English all the time. They're still quite young, so I still have time! (5, 3, and 1) whenever I speak it with them the 3 year old is always "no umma! No korean! English". Gosh never thought I would turn into my parents, by saying stuff like "you're gonna regret not learning Korean when you're older" 

     

    Love this. I am this way with my 11-year old son and learning Filipino/Tagalog. He can understand it perfectly but hesitates to speak it (feels embarrassed with his accent). He’s growing more confident now since he sees how much the Elders love it when he replies in Tagalog. 

     

    Also, we are learning Korean together. He started watching some dramas with me (Goblin, Weightlifting Fairy, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon) and is picking up bits and pieces. We had a stopover in Seoul in August on the way back to the US and the Halmoni hanbok rental shopkeeper hugged him hard, beaming when he thanked her and bowed. 

     

    Thanks for the personal stories about language learning! @mapleoaks4, @xxPeepsxx, and @yusefull!

    One thing for sure if SH is already realizing he truly loves JH, once he knows what happened to her he won't have any doubt on how much she means to him.  Next ep seems to be all about this realization.

     

    Perhaps seeing JM puts things in perspective for SH? That he now knows how he truly feels for JH because he no longer feels anything for JM?

     

    i need episode 14 nooooow. Hahahah

    I may have not fully understood the HR-WS fight when I watched it (now I do because of the lovely translations here. Thank you, wonderful people!) but I can remember thinking when WS saw the chat conversation on HR’s phone that:

     

    Oh No Girl, you just gave him a way out.

    i teared up a bit at the Ho Rang scene based on visuals alone. I imagine I may say more when I see subs.

    I just realized that I got my wish. We have a good and proper hug. I love how Ji Ho fits Se Hee in that hug!!! And I love that it was a proper hug...not some awkward mess of limbs that we get to see in some dramas. 

     

    My next wish—cuddling on the couch or Ji Ho in Se Hee’s room. Possibly seeing the 50 shades book and having a laugh about it and genuine concern for his intimate expectations. Too much? LOL

    well well well. that pd is going to get more than just a motorbike crushed. maybe this time SH will really plant a fist on his face. 

     

    lol everything narrated from JH's side is so sad and placid and sad. i miss SH's side. the comic timing please!

     

    Ohohoho. I can remember that episode. Se Hee looked concerned when he saw her in pajamas. 

     

    “It must have been a pretty bad dream.”

     

    ASSt. PD-Nim better be ready. Our man Se Hee when he gets mad, you never know what he’ll do.

    I don’t know how I am going to manage to get through the day just pining for Ep 14 hahaha! 

     

    What I hope to see when Ep 14 opens is that Se Hee introduces Ji Ho as his wife to Jung Min. 

     

    ***

     

    Even though I didn’t understand much, it looks like JH and JM are charmed by each other. I like the dynamic and possible friendship. However, if JM did end up orchestrating her meeting JH at the cafe, then that’d cast a bit of a shadow on their friendship, I feel. 

     

    Also, Room Nineteen—the story, does not end well. :( I understand what it symbolizes but from what I learned of the summaries is that is does not end well. I am sure it won’t get to that but Like I said in an old comment, I love how the writer is weaving i these little details about women’s roles and identities into the drama. 

     

    Still, I love this show so much and the way it’s progressing.

    guys.. I really like where the story is going. I mean the fact that SH gonna be taking initiative to contact JM to resolve their relationship or to get closure or to just make it clear that he hopes JM isn't getting back at him through JH is just so great!

     

    1. he's taking the initiative. I really like how it shows he's willing to deal with his past trauma and is brave enough to. and has probably gotten over it.

    2. he;s also doing it partly because he;s worried about JH and wants to protect her. this is his big Saranghae moment imo???

    3. I am so looking forward to his final big confession moment. I think he's gonna go with "이제, 진짜 '우리' 될까요?" or "Now, shall we really become 'Us (Uri)' ? "

     

    :wub::wub::wub: 

     

     

    I swear it almost feels like him putting the “Uri” tag on the cat is part of his real Wedding Proposal.
