A gem amidst the pebbles!
Be Melodramatic is a breath of fresh air that strays from the mainstream of kdramas and stands up on its own, but not enough to call it unique as it still has hints of the usual.
A good philosophy is to be immature when having fun, falling in love and being in love and be mature when it matters; this show is the epitome of that. Forget the plot or storylines, or even some of the mediocre acting because the dialogue is enough to carry itself and everyone else. They're clever, real, humane incisive but always honest. The script and dialogue are what define this show for me, conveying the idea that life is meaningful and unpredictable which is reflected in the dialogue and the story itself. The living room conversations and discussions vary depending on the topic, but it's mostly funny, sometimes hilarious and at times heart-rending. Each episode had me chuckling or laughing out loud, yet some still had room to draw a tear or two. Issues like grief, depression, loneliness, and relationships are dealt with in a mature way.
The show is full of experiential life lessons which can relate to anyone who's experienced them or something to look forward to or avoid if you haven't. Don't expect any extreme plot twists or extravagant scenes because this series is grounded in real life. This show is grown-up, perfectly imperfect, insightful and refreshing. This is a show I would definitely revisit in the near future.
