TBABM is a drama emotionally charged. Not only because it perfectly handled comic elements with melodramatic ones, but also and mainly because it completely blindside its viewers by drawing up a initial situation and characters that can seem very cliché or lacking of originality, but it's a wrong impression : TBABM is so much more than a cliché drama, it's not simply a love story filled with misunderstanding, passion and portrayed by a love triangle. *This drama is a poetic life's lesson. The story itself isn't extraordinary, but the way it's skillfully written make it deeply beautiful and exceptional : hilarious at times, dramatic and heartbreaking and truly heartwarming at other times. The whole drama is also artfully directed and the cinematography appealing (really the director's work is what made me want to keep watching it at the beginning when I was wondering If I would drop it because it takes me several couple of eps to really get into it ^^'). But the thing that really amazed me, about this drama it's its characters and the way they were interpreted : all the characters were very authentic, and relatable (well some of them not so much cough* haokun cough*) and even the ones that were less likeable, were able to reach me at some points (and that's a REAL success because I don't easily relate to characters). The acting was also really really good for all the cast. However the characters' realism was also frustrating by moments : they were like us normal people, with they qualities/defaults and sometimes they didn't always made the good choices and it could be REALLY frustrating, and it's also true over the relationships and love lines in this drama : you can expect passion and deep emotions but not magic or "love is kind and unselfish" kind's of mood. The drama's pace could be a little bit slow though at times, what made some eps a bit draggy and repetitive but it's not something that bothered me, overall. I've to conclude with a special word for the OST who was stunning, and well-fitted!
