Because This Is My First Life

Is it worth it

The contract marriage premise with the silliness taken out. A house-poor man and a homeless writer sign what is really a lease, and the drama turns it into an argument about whether marriage is a romance or an economic arrangement. Jung So Min and Lee Min Ki play it quiet and adult, which is rare, and which is also why stretches of the middle feel airless. The two side couples carry more weight than the poster suggests, and the late stretch manufactures a conflict the story did not need. Still the smartest thing here about being thirty and broke.

Two housemates get married for financial convenience, but discover nothing is simple when it comes to demanding in-laws — or facing their growing bond.
