The highest rating I've ever given?

"Be Yourself" proves once again that slice of life dramas that talk about real life social issues always come up on top compared to the rather cliche and repetitive romcoms.

The four main characters are so witty, lovable, and relatable. I believe they are even better than the characters in Twenty Your Life On. Each has their own personal style, and the actresses' chemistry with one another is incredible. It's good to see characters who are flawed rather than perfect because then their good nature shines even brighter when they mature and grow throughout the story.

I love that each episode centers around one or two of the four girls while still maintaining the others' presence. The stories they tell are so entertaining and engaging to watch especially because of how real everything is.

My only nitpick is that I want to know more about Fan Qinzhou (Leon Leong's character). Although I do love he takes a backseat most of the time to let the girls shine, his character here is really interesting and eccentric that I'd love to see more of him. Fun fact: he has worked with 3/4 of the girls in this drama before already! As love interests too. It's fun to see him work with them again.

But I'm very happy to see Shen Yue take on a role that's more unique compared to her last two ones. Hopefully she stops being typecasted as the "bubbly stubborn" girl soon to have more characters like this.

Overall, this is a must-watch drama, so check it out!
