One of my Top Favorites
My rating is 10/10. This is a 2019 South Korean drama with 16 episodes total over two, 8 Episode seasons. Run time is 45 min to just under one hour. It is also known as Because It Is My First Love.
Tae-O (Ji Soo) is in his 20s when his father allows him to live alone in his childhood home. The condition is no friends can stay especially female. That all changes when varying circumstances bring three friends to his doorstep in need of a place to live. They all know Tae-O has a big heart and lots of spare rooms. Song-Yi (Jung Chae-Yeon) has been Tae-O‘s inseparable friend since childhood. Her pride keeps her from asking at first but when Tae-O finds out she has been homeless for says he will not take no for an answer. Ga-Rin is a Chaebol but has ran away to have a life of her choosing. Hoon (Kang Tae-Oh) is a struggling actor he runs away after one too many beatings from his father. Di-Hyun (Jin Young) is Tae-O‘s friend and the only one who does not live at the house but a chance meeting with Song-YI sparks a mutual romantic interest. When his friends ask to stay Tae-O puts up token resistance then caves like any 20 year old who figures what dad doesn’t know... Thus begins a tangled web of friendship, life happenings, and love that was unexpected.
Spoiler 🚨 If you are looking for a mostly light hearted romantic comedy drama with surprising depth then this is a must watch. I loved Tae-O’s character. He was the ideal friend and boyfriend. Song-yi was beautiful I do not think she had a bad camera angle or color that looked bad. To top it she was sweet to everyone and someone I could see as a friend. The other two roomies were boisterous and fun. Di-hyun was very serious and focused. At first I was all in for the relationship between Sing-yi and Di-Hyun they seemed like a great match. Tae-O started dating about the same time and I did not like his girlfriend for him at all. Cracks started to appear in both relationships and before I knew it I was rooting for a different outcome. It ended very well and I was happy that relationships that had severed were mended and the friendships stayed intact. I would not change a thing and highly recommend it.
