Belum ada yg mengalahkan Because This is My First Life dalam kategori Korean romcom drama terbaik buatku. Kesempurnaan penulisan plot, keseimbangan comedy romance dan angst-nya, character development-nya, chemistry-nya; semuanya terlalu perfect.
Dinamika hubungan Se-hee x Ji-ho tuh saking sempurnanya, berasa baca novel romance yang detail dan runtut. Nggak ada plot hole atau unnecessary side plot yg bikin dongkol pas nonton. Bener-bener the epitome of strangers to lovers trope yang sangat well-written.
9 years later and this remains unmatched. no evil antagonists needed when late stage capitalism, housing anxiety, and adulting are already the main villains. just two people trying to navigate the housing crisis, living costs, and cat coparenting.
lee minki: and above all... thanks to jiho, i was happy
somin: me too (w/ sehee) shall we at least shake hands?
lee minki: a sad handshake (😭😭😭)
they knew the handshake is a sehee jiho thing 🥹 happy 9th anniversary #becausethisismyfirstlife ♡
