"This Life is Our First" teasers

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

A new teaser for This Life Is Our First has been released, showing a tense negotiation table between Lee Min-ki and Jung So-min. Lee Min-ki is the house-poor homeowner, who wants to rent out a room to help pay for his mortgage, while Jung So-min is a prospective renter. Well at this point, she’s homeless because she’s too poor to afford regular housing.

The teaser shows them at a table with cards in hand, as they try to guess what the other has. Right away, Jung So-min realizes that Lee Min-ki’s under a lot of debt because he bought the house, which technically is more the bank’s property since there’s still decades left on his mortgage. Then, Lee Min-ki sends a card her way: “Taking out the trash and recycling.” She agrees, and she makes her play: “No down payment on the rent.” Countering her, he demands that she take care of his cat, to which she agrees. Her final condition is that she can move in right away.

He stands up angrily at that, and for a moment Jung So-min’s eyes grow wide as she thinks the contract might not be happening. But then, Lee Min-ki extends his hand and tells her that because she’s not his style, she’s passed his inspection. She quickly grabs his hands, telling him that he’s not her style either, and they both look at the camera as they shake on their agreement. We’ll see how long that un-attraction lasts once they become housemates, shall we?

The preview starts off with Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min meeting up at a bus stop. She holds out her hand while saying she’ll do her best even though she thinks she failed in this lifetime, which he responds with, “I wish you luck. After all, this is a first for everyone anyways.” He gives her smile, and perhaps mesmerized by it, she suddenly kisses him.

After that fateful encounter, they spiral into all kinds of hilarious daily ordeals from Jung So Min becoming homeless to Lee Min Ki refusing to work overnight because he has to feed his cat. Kim Ga Eun, who plays one of Jung So Min’s friends, mentions that someone is looking for a roommate and has particular, fussy conditions, which Jung So Min agrees to abide by. The tenant and landlord actually meet up and become shocked when they realize they’ve met before.

It all goes downhill from there with Jung So Min’s father raging about the fact she’s cohabiting with a man and Lee Min Ki catching Jung So Min snoring in her sleep.

We get a brief introduction to Esom and Park Byung Eun, who play a woman who prefers casual relationships and a man who runs head first into relationships if he likes a person respectively. Kim Ga Eun and Kim Min Suk play a woman who hopes to get married and become a housewife and a engineer who is innocent and isn’t good at connecting the dots when it comes to relationships. His character Sim Won Seok is also Yang Ho Rang’s (played by Kim Ga Eun) boyfriend, whom he’s been dating for seven years. His character has been so in love with Ho Rang that his goal is to provide her with stability by making her a CEO’s wife, and his love for her is said to represent genuine love in the current generation.

There's so much about this set up that I like, from the actors involved to the cohabitation plot to the cat featuring heavily in the marketing for it. Will you be watching?
