Be Melodramatic (2019)

A drama that is like a friend you want to walk beside for life

I started watching this since my friend said it was a women centred story. At first I stopped at episode 2 and thought maybe the style wasn’t for me, but I gave it another chance because of the great reviews and I’m so glad I did! The writing was phenomenal and the story was so relatable and dealt with difficult life moments. The style was great as well! Although not something I’m used to, it really aided the drama in storytelling. This series felt like a companion; whilst you’re going through your every day life, this drama is there, letting you know you’re not alone.
Thank you for giving us this drama.

Joyous Slice of Life

I really enjoyed this drama, it made me laugh, cry, hold my breath, but also did not feel over the top at all throughout the whole drama. I enjoyed the diverse set of characters all with different backgrounds.

The story was pretty simplistic, but thats what made it great, there was no major plot to follow as it shows everyday life of 3 women. It was not over complicated or too unrealistic. It is what I expect a slice of life would be, nice and slow burning.

The actors/ actresses were fantastic at portraying their characters. Jeon Yeo Bin did an amazing job of acting as someone suffering from loss, and I loved the comedy that Ahn Jae Hong Brings to most roles I have seen him. He manages to brighten the drama which can have have some serious tones to it and make it less hard for the viewer.

Again with music, nothing struck me as amazing nor awful, so I do not have a proper say in this.

I would totally recommend this to you if you are wanting to watch a lovely slice of life about 3 career women with their own struggles.

Um dos melhores doramas já feitos, aborda muitos tabus coreanos com muita responsabilidade e leveza.
O final foi muito bem elaborado, mantendo a concisão de quase todos os personagens e suas lutas pessoais. Entretanto, o final do Jae-Hoon me incomoda bastante.
Culpabilizar um personagem que sofre abuso psicológico e está preso em um relacionamento tóxico é um péssimo exemplo. Maior parte dos casos de homens que estão em relacionamentos abusivos, não sabem que estão. Há um conceito machista de que a mulher, por ser "emocional", é incapaz de ferir o orgulho e autoestima de um homem. Durante o dorama inteiro o Jae-Hoon é vítima de quase todos os abusos psicológicos e mesmo assim consegue seguir em frente graças a amizade, mas tudo vai por água a baixo no último episódio.
Voltar com a ex que fazia horrores pra ele não enriquece o personagem. Na verdade é um desserviço às vítimas de relacionamentos abusivos.
Se não fosse por isso, seria o dorama perfeito.
