After finishing Reply 1988, I was hankering for another slow burn drama focusing on friendships and relationships. Be Melodramatic was that for me. I'm only halfway through and at this point I love this show so much that I would put it at first place in my kdrama ranking list right next to Reply 1988.

I know it's not that popular but hear me out. The first 2 episodes of the show is definitely slower than most because they're still establishing each character and making you fall in love with them. Things really start to happen 3rd episode onwards which breaks them out of their daily routine. They made me feel the real feelings of being a tired 30 year old yet still trying to make it in life.

Each character is so well written and so true to life that I find myself relating to every one of their experiences. But what made me love this drama so much is how meta it is. >! Throughout the entire show, they talked about creating a show that is literally the show we're watching. Even going so far to say that the first 2 episodes would be a bit draggy and the 3rd episode has an inciting incident. !< Which to me is absolute genius.

The humour isn't outright in your face, but more situational and subtly funny. And the emotional scenes really hit you like a brick and you start to cry for no reason at all other than feeling so touched by the love these characters display.

So, if you're someone who wants to watch a drama about 3 30 year old working women struggling in life, or a drama full of friendships and relationships that are true to life, please consider watching this. It needs more attention!
