Because This Is My First Life – Ep 6

Ay Dios Mio..how can such small little words like “our” and “us” be sooo powerful?? They’re little but they pack such a huge punch because of everything that they imply and I can totally understand why she would be so tickled pink to hear them.

Not surprisingly she unconsciously changed those tenant/landlord rules and that did not go well..sigh..it’s all about timing..she happily took that step forward whereas he is way behind her..for now. He’s just happy that all that stuff is over and that he can finally get back to the peace and quiet that he had at home before and looked forward to enjoying the future with his perfect tenant..he’s not ready for that tenant to suddenly take initiative and start naming HIS cat and acting differently from what he had expected..lol..his words were direct and to the point and really hurt though that wasn’t his intention..I did feel sorry for her..she was upset..even though if she thought about it she shouldn’t have been surprised..and yes mister..you reject her but you still expect to eat her breakfast?? Loved how fast he felt comfortable doing THAT!!

Now we have a new character in the mix..no doubt brought in to be a catalyst in moving this relationship along..I’m reserving judgement..and how silly is she to be giving out her number to a stranger in the street!!

I’m so glad that Mom is happier now..he said the perfect words..not empty and insincere promises but something he could be truthful about given the situation..something tells me that he’s going to having two doting moms in the future!!

As to our other couples..sigh..after seven years haven’t they learned anything about each other?? How could he believe that she’d be so petty and superficial as to be upset because of THAT silly reason? I’d be offended too..maybe there isn’t hope for these two..there’s no doubt about their love but are they really a match made in heaven?

As to our other two..there he goes again..being romantic and charming her to death..how long will she be able to resist? HOpefully she will unblock the poor guy..lol..baby steps..

I think she got pretty happy at the idea that maybe, just maybe this would be a place where she could belong, especially as the pressures of life have eased off now that she has a secure home where she’s at least a junior partner (in crime), even if not the majority shareholder. I don’t think she let that “woori” slip out in a romantic way so much as a “we’re in this together and we share something (even if not love)” kind of way and that’s exciting enough in its own right. But yeah, he’s so not ready for that!

New guy… of course we need a catalyst! But I wouldn’t be so surprised about sharing numbers; it’s what people do in Korea. They’re generally a lot more trusting.

I think the playboy bachelor with the charming manners is just the ticket for prickly Soo-ji (and who wouldn’t be prickly in her work environment?) I think that the #metoo movement has a long way to go in Korea and skip the celebrity world and dive right into the world of business! I worked for an investment firm for 5 years just out of college and oh, yeah, did I see a lot of that in the old boys’ club world of stocks, bonds, and banking.

Oh snap! I guess dumbass thought he was getting breakfast. Ouch! I have to say the bridal sulk hit early. It’s not like the man was wrong… on the other hand it really wasn’t such a big deal even if there was nothing but friendship going on. I guess that’s my problem with him; he doesn’t seem to want even that, when one would assume it would be a natural relationship for long term roommates with a lot in common.

He’s just as clueless as that other jerk who wants to live with his GF in perpetuity so he can avoid “responsibility.” I’m surprised she didn’t get up and pack on the spot. Of course there’s always a chance in the next episode since we left her still thinking about it.

Anyway this ep was like 1 step forward two steps back. Our hero seemed to be warming up into an actual human, helping our heroine through her tears and reassuring her Mom. Then to start throwing shade because she named his cat.

And she called it “our” how effing perfect was that????

  you might think that it wasn’t a big deal..but it was to HIM and that’s what matters..I think she rushed too fast and didn’t allow him to adjust to being more comfortable roommates..it’s funny though because initially he didn’t even want breakfast and only sat down when he could see that she was disappointed..so then the next morning..I guess he still wants to make her happy by willingly sitting down to make her happy but then finding out that circumstances had definitely changed and that isn’t what she wants THIS morning..lol…too funny..still he did look very comfortable sitting there and if he was honest with himself he has probably come to realize that it can be very pleasant sitting down to a meal with another human being…
  
  And..don’t forget that though we call them roommates and technically they are..for him it started out as a business arrangement..tenant and landlord..NOT equal friendly roommates so for her to suddenly get chummy and start stepping over the lines by taking ownership of actually naming him felt too intrusive and scary to him..where would she stop? It’s one thing to feed the cat..it’s another to name him..only owners are allowed to do that..I think he was just scared that the ink was barely dry on the contract and things were changing….he’s “uncomfortable”..he’s not angry..and he’s definitely honest.

omg that dumbass was thrilled to have a built-in housemaid, even when she was just a tenant. He practically had an orgasm when she explained that she liked to clean and do house repair when she was stressed. I think that gave her the “high rating” all by itself, hahaha.

And now he thought he was gonna get a cook, too. Buddy, you gotta give some to get some. I was cringing big time, but at the same time I LOVED IT. 😄
