It\'s Linda\'s final episode! Judy and Linda are tearing apart\\xa0episodes 15-16 of "Because This Is My First Life" (\\uc774\\ubc88 \\uc0dd\\uc740 \\ucc98\\uc74c\\uc774\\ub77c), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi.

Judy is supremely annoyed that Jiho (Jung SoMin) is blabbering about everything to everyone except for supposedly the most important person in her life: Sehee (Lee MinKi). Linda is incensed at Jiho for destroying Sehee\'s heart and then smugly lording it over him. Our counterthesis to the drama is that the institution of marriage may not be perfect, but what Jiho and Sehee are doing seems to be a holier-than-thou calculation of give and take rather than an actual relationship.

Why did the writers break our hearts? Maybe we should be looking at our own star pockets to reminisce about when we loved this drama.
