Because This Is My First Life (이번 생은 처음이라)

Stop crying, Ji Ho.

Is it hard to stop crying?

If that's the case, we should go together.

It's okay to cry. Let's go together.

I'll be right next to you.

I'll be with you.

1988.

The world is looking at Korea.

The day the global festivities began in 1988,

I was getting ready...

to be born.

It's moving. - Just like that,

I was born as a 1988 baby...

while the world watched Korea.

My gosh!

I was born during Korea's heyday.

Having a house and a car was natural.

I spent my childhood during a time of rapid growth and abundance.

There was a change in the midst of it.

The grade school was now called an elementary school.

Of course, crises came upon us too.

However, there was hope.

If one tried hard, they could get back on their feet.

Shoot, shoot.

I trusted that a desperate wish...

will always come true.

However, that trust was soon broken.

Even dreams started to have class.

We weren't 1988 babies anymore.

We became the 880-dollars-generation.

The vote of a 20-year-old did not have any power.

The world no longer looked to Korea.

In a world of competition,

my friends threw themselves for a line on their resume.

In between them,

I was a snail still chasing for dreams.

I may be a little slow, but I continued to believe...

that if I worked hard,

my dream will come true.

If I could tell my 20-year-old self...

about how I look like now,

would she believe me?

Bride and groom, please enter.

Let's go.

Okay.

The 30-year-old Yoon Ji Ho who was born in 1988...

didn't get to become a writer,

but she took the hand of a man...

who gave her a discounted rent.

I really...

got married...

because of housing.

Here I go.

1, 2...

It's finished.

It was a lot of work. Great work.

Great job, everyone.

Hey, stop crying.

People will think you have something to do with the groom.

What about you? Did you get paid to attend this?

How can you not shed a single tear?

You're so heartless.

We'll now take pictures with friends.

Please come forward. - Hey, let's go for the photos.

No way. - What?

Hey, let's go up.

We'll come down right away after the pictures, okay?

Is that all of your friends?

Yes.

You too, Se Hee? - Yes.

Mr. Ma and the one with extra insoles.

Move to the bride's side.

Me? - Yes, two of you.

No. - No!

We don't have enough room.

I don't have extra insoles.

I'd appreciate your cooperation for a smooth wedding.

Mr. Ma, insoles, move to the right.

Okay, let's balance it out.

Okay.

All right.

Insoles and the tall woman should switch positions.

Here I go. 1, 2...

Hey, your girlfriend... - Sang Goo.

Don't act friendly with her since we're still fighting.

Okay, okay. What about the tall girl standing next to your girlfriend?

Do you know her?

She's Ho Rang's best friend, so I'm close with her too.

Then she was born in 1988?

How dare she block me?

Let's just eat and jet.

Don't act like you know her. Okay?

Why would I say hello? I'm a shy guy.

Gosh. Are these seats empty?

They're taken. - No, they're not.

No? Then please excuse us.

Sang Goo, you go there.

Is that good?

Do you want to try?

It's good.

Hello. I think...

it's our first time meeting. I only heard about you.

Hello. I heard a lot about you. - Hello.

This is my friend Woo Soo Ji... - Soo Ji.

What is this? Do you know her? - No.

Then how did you know her name?

She just looks like a Soo Ji.

She looks sharp and chic.

She looks like someone that would block you on chats.

It says she's the type right on her face.

What? - I met him through work before.

Have you been well, Mr. Ma?

Thanks to you, I've been doing well.

I got a cold since we're changing seasons.

After getting blocked by you, I was also depressed.

I was really happy and full of emotions.

Soo Ji the blocker.

It's Ji Ho.

Wow! They look good together!

Who would have thought she'd get married first?

I know.

It feels like yesterday she got drunk and threw up at our flat.

A flight of pigeons gathered the next day...

It was such a bother.

You chase them as an eagle. - Hey.

It was a hawk, not an eagle.

Did he get a snack?

What is that on his mouth?

That looks like hot sauce. - It does.

Why would he go around like that?

Why does the sauce keep on dripping from his nose?

You're right, it keeps on dripping.

Hot sauce?

You must have been really tired.

I think it's because...

the amount of physical activity increased in the last few days.

You're right.

That's why your nose is bleeding.

I thought you'd have to be punched to get both nostrils to bleed.

I'm just as flustered as someone who got knocked down.

This is just as hard as developing a project.

I'm talking about weddings.

It's almost over,

so please hang in there.

Okay.

I want to go rest at our home.

What? Did I say something wrong?

No, you didn't.

I should go and wash this.

I want to go rest at our home.

Our home.

That's because you're tired.

When you're tired, you should take anything you can find.

Here, take it. - Thanks.

You have to take this with that.

Okay.

Why are you so thin?

What food do you like?

Can you eat snake soup?

I've never tried that.

Oh, right.

People in Seoul don't really eat such things.

Then what should I feed you?

Ma'am.

Ji Ho is a woman with determination.

Pardon?

I don't know Ji Ho that well yet,

When she decided to write scenarios,

when she decided to quit,

and when she decided to get married,

she made all those choices for herself.

She may seem weak and shy, but she's a very determined person.

Her heart is really strong.

She doesn't do anything that makes her unhappy.

Therefore,

Ji Ho will eventually choose...

the path that makes her happy.

And I'm not going to be in the way...

while I'm married to her.

That's all the promise I can make.

I'm sorry.

Why?

I can't make promises to make her happy...

or protect her.

That's the only thing I can promise you.

What about it? It's the right thing to say.

Just because you're married,

it doesn't mean you have to make her happy.

Who can make anyone else happy?

It's hard to be happy these days.

The best thing you can do is to not be in the way of others.

It's so much better than saying all the empty words.

I'll make you snake soup next time.

Give it a try.

Snake soup?

It's good.

We survived all those hard times,

didn't we, sir?

Yes, of course.

They were all born in good times.
