I'll tell you why so serious

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Because This is My First Life
(watched once last May 2018)8 out of 10 rating!Whenever I look for a series to watch, I research about a title a bit and see if it's what I want to watch. When I stumbled upon this show, I didn't want a typical romantic comedy that would be for girls who justed wanted some "fluff." If you're in the same page as I was, 24 year old wanting to see a series that wasn't heavily stuffed with fluff and would actually impart you with some useful life advices, then this show is absolutely the winner. Sure, some parts of the plot may not be realistic, such as having already spent days with a roommate you haven't actually seen. But the rest felt raw. Here's Yoon Ji-ho, the lead lady (whom I felt strongly connected with, sharing a similar dream of being a writer - which is also one of the reasons the title attracted me), struggling with her career and wanting a fresh start. Then there's Lee Min-ki, a character I rather found annoying at times, but very straightforward and simply wants to live a peaceful life. They are not complete opposites, and at first were rather too easily compatible. It wasn't love at first sight, yet you as the viewer, will feel that, "hey, these two have that connection." but at the same time, you feel that it is uncomfortably too smooth. Not to make this any longer than it is, here are my main views.
The story captivates me because it shows different points of view on love, and on marriage, which are separate matters. I may not completely relate with the tradition or culture when it comes to Korean marriage and how relationships between in-laws work, but I can connect the similarities from the ideas shown from my own country's. These are characters who chose to create their own system which will work for their relationship based on their wants, needs, and more importantly, they respect each other's opinions and decided together. It also showed that such actions doesn't neccesarily cause overdramatic consequences. This could be viewed as rather boring, and I'm not going to lie, it wasn't the most "entertaining" drama out there, but it is so worthwhile to watch! Again, this is coming from a 24 year old's views. I'm in a place where there are times I question my career status, my life decisions, and also my own goals in my love life and relationship.At the same time the two leads figure out their status, the supporting characters are also having their own dilemmas with completely different behaviour and beliefs on love and marriage. It's what also amazes me with this series, you get to see 3 different points of views. It gets you to think and try to understand where these characters are coming from.Over all, it's a great mix of romance, comedy, and mostly slice of life. Perhaps the small con for me with this show was that it felt like it was lacking a bit of physical...interaction between the two leads :)Still, definitely worth watching. :)Thanks for reading my rather long review, hopefully it helps!

Finally, after some drama drought, 2017 has been saved, at least it's second half. Because this is our first is a drama that could have been overlooked easily, considering the fact that there weren't many "big" names in the cast (and I mean popular idols or actors). Plus, the story was a bit too ordinary to make a buzz. But, it turned out to be a seriously cosy and romantic drama. The acting was perfect from all the actors and actresses and especially the leading lady was extra cute and lovable. The main story was sweet and cute, but the side ones were interesting as well. Plus, the theme was a bit unique, with some scenes that couldn't be found easily in the typical silly innocent love dramas. However, I did find the ending a bit too cliché, considering the rest of the drama. At least, it had the conclusion that I was hoping for. So, 8.5 out of 10.

i hesitated to watch it at first... but after watching one episode i couldn't stop. Its so good and totally relatable in day to day lives of any people. Not a dreamy fantasy serial at all. I love it. and the lead actors make a good couple even tho they have totally different personalities. Love them.

I love this drama so much, at first i was like ????? what kind of name is that BUT NOW I LOVE IT The characters are great, acting is on point and oh the plot ... The plot is amazing, it hits you out of nowhere! It definitely makes you feel some feelings other dramas don't and you'll definitely start questioning stuff. And the universe. Overall i think it is worth watching, it is as original as it can be and honestly its different. and DIFFERENT IS GREAT
