Because This Is My First Life – Ep 14

As has been mentioned..there are so many things that we can relate to in this drama.

For instance..how many times does it happen that you know that one day you’ll meet a key person and you try out different scenarios as to what you will say and what you will do..over and over..and then when the moment comes it all goes out the window and it’s over before you’ve had a chance to register it? I can only imagine the hours he’s thought about a re-encounter with his ex and when it happened..it was nothing like he thought it would be…unexpectedly all he could think about was another person altogether..

After the painful way they parted I don’t know what I was expecting but their interaction now is so calm..so civilized..so..friendly and of course it’s due to the fact that we also have a special “other woman” here..thank goodness! None of that spiteful and clingy entitled sort that we usually see..I love that this girl has moved on and matured so well..and is so generous in her behaviour and her advice..even when she complains that after all this time he came to her as Ji HO’s husband instead of her ex-boyfriend!! Just shows the strength of his feelings that he did though otherwise I don’t think he would have had the heart to approach her..I so loved the advice that she gave him about putting his love into words…and it’s kind of sad that these two almost had a child together but he never spoke the words of love to her..of course she needed to hear them too and maybe that led to her departure since it gave her doubts as to what he really felt. I suppose though, given that they were college kids, it’s more believable but this guy…lol..all he has to do is ask the girl to sleep with him..no other words said??

Good for Se Jin..that creep of a boss..intentionally made the situation EVEN worse..I can’t wait for him to cower like the coward that he is..didn’t she look awesome dressed in black and out for revenge??? Speaking of looking good..ay..a Se Hee dressed in that black sweater should only be allowed with a warning: women with bad hearts should avoid at all costs..lol..I don’t know how our girl can ignore it when it’s screaming at me through the screen! Silly girl…and she didn’t even notice that our cat has his name on..he looked so cute while he was trying to get her to notice..geesh..how can he look cute AND naughty at the same time??

Actually I felt bad for the ex-girlfriend that the man she lived with and HAD A CHILD with was treating her like a stranger. I mean nice for Ji Ho that her hubby is all about her these days, but Dude even ask how his baby momma was? And what she’d been up to all these years and if she was OK?If they had dated casually, that would be one thing, but these two went through the painful loss of a baby together and they lived together too, I think a little more interest in her as a person is warranted here.Especially since, as we can see, she’s a cool girl, warm, friendly, intelligent and capable. It hurts me to see him so easily discard her, you know what I mean? She’s not a worthless type woman.

The punch to the face was GOLD!! Though a kick between the legs would have been in order too, imo. I’m so glad CEO Ma was rooting her on. She looked AWESOME and SCARY in that chic black suit. I hope that sneaky boss learns his lesson and doesn’t just fire her tomorrow.

Ho Rang’s new man is creepy. That smiley pestering type is exactly like the cafe coworker who tried to pick up Ji Ho except a lot less attractive. She needs to cut him loose quick. But what is UP with Bo Mi!!! Writhing up against a stripper pole at the club, wtf??? Engineer better not get lucky. I want him to PINE, dammit! Pine and REGRET!!!

  Jung-min didn’t actually carry the baby to term, she miscarried at some point — though that’s not to dismiss the actual feelings tied to such an event, it’s less powerful a bond than having the child be born and then later die. The way she explained it to Ji-ho was that she and Se-hee came to live together because of that accidental pregnancy (before that it was a perhaps more young, cool love affair of a ‘campus couple’ where they feel free to experiment and enjoy life). They clearly had feelings for each other, but that was a decade ago and even though they might have unresolved issues, time has passed and they both have new lives. It was a gamble on his part to crawl out from his shell to fall in love with Ji-ho, or at least be seriously attracted and emotionally drawn to her (if it’s not love yet). His being caught off guard by this encounter seemed appropriate for a guy like him who’s bottled up, or compartmentalized his emotions, don’t you think?
  
  This was really an episode of light switches going on all over the place, with people learning things about others and about themselves — except for Won-seok (still relatively clueless). Se-hee learns about the sexual harassment (that lit a 🔥 in him), and that the affection that Ji-ho has slowly been giving him has fallen on the parched soil in his heart and softened it up and it’s time to move forward. I thought it was interesting that he is so thoughtful about how for years he was holding onto the harsh parting words from Jung-min but now they’ve fallen away and all he can think about is the companionship of his marriage. He and Ji-ho and Jung-min are all pretty open about confronting truths in their past and present situations and I thought that was mature and thoughtful. I hate when misunderstandings carry on for ever, or stupid secrets are held for no good reason.
  
  I like the fact that Ji-ho and Jung-min are intelligent women who see that they can and do like and respect each other and aren’t pulling each others’ hair out over jealousy and rage. PS – I love Lee Chung-ah in this show.
  
  And Soo-ji! She rocks, and her relationship with Sang-gu is one of the most interesting and lovely ones I’ve seen in ages!

I know what you’re saying Yolette and in a sense I agree..though she took it with good grace you could see that she was affected by his detachment and his total focus on his wife..she wouldn’t be human if she wasn’t a little miffed but being the kind of woman that she is she rose above it and even gave him some advice on his love life!

Of course he is who he is and he was interested enough to google her to catch up on what she’s been doing all these years but didn’t think about asking her personally…the woman whose words had so devastated him and led him to practically waste the last years of his life!

Ho Rang’s new boy is a little strange I admit…is it too much of a coincidence that he dated exactly seven years and broke up for exactly the same reason as she? On the other hand I don’t feel that he’s creepy..pushy..definitely…over eager..definitely..strange sense of humour??..yes..I hope that he’s genuine because she deserves a new beginning and I don’t want him to just be the creep who causes them to reunite without any resolution at all.
