O Drama da Minha Vida (2019)

Beautiful Story About Love, Loss and Friendship

I have been struggling to find the words to accurately describe how much I loved and appreciated this drama. The writing made me laugh, cry and think about the ways I could relate to the lessons being shared in each episode. All the characters were beautifully written, especially our three leading ladies, and I found myself being instantly attached to them since the first episode. I was blown away by how well the writers were able to flesh out almost all the characters(especially considering how large the cast was)without it becoming too overwhelming, and the plot was never convoluted, messy, or predictable. The lack of predictability was something that really shocked me since this tends to be a huge issue in kdramas, specifically melodramas. Towards the end of the episode, I had no idea what was going to happen next and the realization soon hit that going with the flow and letting the story do its thing was the best way to enjoy this drama.

The friendship between Jin Joo, Eun Jung, and Han Joo felt so incredibly realistic and it made me yearn for a friendship as beautiful and lovely as theirs. Eun Jung's brother, Hyo Bong, was also a part of this tight-knit group of friends, and his presence was natural and never felt out of place. These 4 individuals had so much love and respect for one another and you can see that in the way they spoke to one another and supported one another. There was a deep sense of trust amongst the group, and apart from little spats, we never actually see them fight. It felt warm and cozy watching the scenes where they all sat on the sofa at the end of the day watching TV, eating snacks, and just talking about their day or how they're feeling. It felt so natural and I would always get a warm fuzzy feeling. What sealed the deal for me is the way they handled Eun Jung's grief, which was a major theme in the show. The 3 of them never pressured her, never forced her to speak about how she was feeling, and graciously accepted her with open arms once she was ready.

On that note, the way Be Melodramatic handled the topic of grief and mental health was so well done. Oftentimes, kdrama's tend to fail horribly when it comes to addressing those themes, but BM was certainly not one of them. Despite the fact that 2 years have passed, Eun Jung has yet to address the pain from losing her boyfriend, Joon Woo. Because of that, she's found a way of coping by tricking her brain into thinking that he is there with her and even carrying full-on conversations with him. She pretends that she is fine but once she realizes what she has been doing, she is hit with the harsh reality that Joon Woo is gone and that he isn't coming back. It's a poignant scene that reminds the viewers that Eun Jung is still in a great deal of pain but hasn't learned to deal with it. What was great is seeing how Eun Jung willingly sought therapy after her brother urged her to and how these scenes were taken seriously. The therapist genuinely cared about her wellbeing and what it is she had to say, and Eun Jung genuinely made an effort to answer the therapist's questions to the best of her abilities. It was nice to see her go back to the same therapist a few episodes later to show that she was still actively receiving help. Mental health and grief are usually not taken seriously in dramas and tend to be solved easily, but BM handles these topics with care and presents Eun Jung's journey of healing as realistically as possible. By the last episode, she still sees and speaks to him, but it is clear that she's in a much better place and is beginning to learn how to live her life without him. There is no clean-cut conclusion because grief and healing are not easy and it was such a beautiful open ending to her story.

God, I have so much more to say about this show. The way the comedy fit so well with the quirky atmosphere, the way both romantic and platonic relationships were written so nicely, the way the plot was clever and nicely paced, the way every single character, pairing, and group had immense chemistry, and especially the way the actors did an incredible job portraying their characters. My one and only complaint is the way the plot twist is thrown in the last episode where it is revealed that Han Joo was actually dating someone the entire time. We were never given any indication that she was in a relationship and it felt like a cheap way to let the viewers know that Han Joo and Jae Hoon were strictly platonic. It was genuinely frustrating considering the fact that the show had led us to believe that there were romantic feelings present, but since they wanted to show that they were just friends, I wish they had done a better job at revealing this fact. Because it is such a small issue within a sea of perfection, that one flaw isn't enough to bump down my 10-star rating and I highly, highly, HIGHLY, recommend this to anyone looking for a cozy and heartwarming drama to binge.

Melo definitely suits them, and its ok to be melo, isn't life always a bit melo anyways?

This drama definitely felt like Age of Youth, but in their 30s. Instead of school life, it focus on women and them juggling their careers and personal life. Perhaps because I really enjoyed Age of Youth, I also really enjoyed Be Melodramatic.
It is more of a slice-of-life drama, journeying with the characters through their personal highs and lows and the in-between (there is a lot of in-between moments). There is no sweeping romances, but slightly heart-fluttering and fuzzy romances. No crazy plot twists or twisted villains, just life getting in the way (e.g: death of a loved one, being a single mother, getting stuck in an unfulfilling job). I do think that there are more funnier scenes than melodramatic scenes, such that I find the drama title ironic. I also like how the drama incorporates meta.
Some of the characters might not be the most likeable at the start, but they definitely become endearing at the end of the dramas. Especially the male characters, some of them seem too aloof or arrogant, but gradually and somehow, the story reveals more to their initial impression and ended up liking their characters at the end of the drama. I am realllly liking Jeon Yeo Bin's acting, especially now watching Vincenzo too. I think because the actors/actresses are not the most well-known, I got to really immersed myself with the characters of the drama (lol sounds weird but idk how else to phrase), not comparing with their other works. (excluding ahn jae hong in reply 1988 and lee yoo jin in age of youth)
Sadly, maybe the drama's production is smaller or for other reasons, the OST is lackluster-ish. Different covers of the same song is repeated in the drama. Initially, it was played for gags, but it kinda overtook as the main theme as the song is still about romance which fits the drama. It is nice that one of the cover is sang by the main leads (I am not too sure tbh but it sounded like their voices). And now this song is stuck in my head :') (Song: Your Shampoo Scent in the Flowers - jang beom june)
I have to end this review with my favourite quote/dialogue from this drama, maybe even the best quote ever (paraphrased): "You'll always be moneyless, you don't have money now because you're studying, then after getting a job, you'll get married and need a house, but it belongs to the bank, so you still don't have money. Then you'll pay back the mortgage but when you have children, then you'll send them to college to provide them good education, then when its retirement, you'll not have any money. And that is just the successful cases, there are worse ones yet."

Be Melodramatic is probably one of the dramas that I put off for a long time, but once I started it was an immediate binge( I finished it in four days). The story has more of a realistic approach than most dramas and honestly could become frustrating in way? I don't mean it in a bad way, but it's like a slap to the face kind of feeling. The best way I could describe it would be maybe as if the writer was making the audience realize that they need to face reality and not stay in la la land because one day or another you'll have to face it. I definitely would say that this is a romantic comedy, but with the main focus on friendship. I would say that was my favorite aspect of this drama. It honestly made it feel as if no matter how good or bad your day was your friends are always there.

The cast is just great and I think the characters were portrayed well. The character development was well paced and made sense with the overall story. I would say that some moments were predictable,not too much, but with a hint of twists. It's just enough to keep the viewer's attention. You come to love some characters and others maybe not so much, but they all have a purpose and make the story feel more complete. You will definitely feel a mix of emotions where one moment you'll be laughing and the next thing you know a tear might be forming ( unless that's just me being a snowflake hahaha). I think the main deciding factor whether or not you watch this drama is whether you care that the story goes back and forth a lot( past to present). I would recommend to at least give it a try.

Почему стоит смотреть?

сразу скажу, что это спокойная дорама без каких либо резких поворотов сюжета и скорее подойдет людям постарше, чем школьникам. Зацепила она меня потому что во-первых речь идет о 30-летних людях и с какими проблемами они сталкиваются (узнала себя так сказатб); во-вторых в каждой серии рассматривается одна из проблем с которыми сталкиваются практически все пары. Например, одна из серий была полностью посвящена пердежу :D согласитесь, для многих пар по началу это очень большая и интимная проблема. Так же рассматриваются темы ревности, доверия и т.д.

This type of drama always catches my eye in the beginning but always fails to keep it I loved the stories the acting and the relationships between the characters lets not forget about the amazing ost but sometimes I just fail to understand the characters emotions and alot of things in the story are useless and I felt that the parts I like were always cut short what I mean is that by the time i reached the final episode I reached the point that I stopped reading the subs cause it wasnt interesting anymore for me it felt as if sth was missing and I stopped feeling connections with the characters also it was nice to see an lgbt storyline i wish that we saw alot more of it though in hopes it opens up more doors for future dramas overall it was a fun watch for me although it wasnt perfect it was still has many amazing sides that I dont see often in recent dramas

Start Strong, Finish...?

From the get-go, "Be Melodramatic" bursts onto the scene with a bang, introducing us to a colorful cast of characters who are as eccentric as they come. Think drama writers talking to their handbags and documentary directors with a penchant for unexpected fame – it's a recipe for hilarity!

But hold onto your hats, because as much as I'd love to tell you that the excitement never wanes, let's keep it real – there are a few bumps along the way. While the early episodes promise an exhilarating journey ahead, the thrill ride starts to lose momentum, leaving us longing for the excitement of those first few episodes.

Despite the occasional lull, "Be Melodramatic" still manages to keep us entertained with its witty banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and heartfelt insights into the trials and tribulations of adulthood. Sure, there may be moments where you find yourself checking your watch, but stick it out for the sake of those golden nuggets of comedy gold.

And let's not forget the stellar performances from the cast – they're the glue that holds this melodramatic train together. From the hilarious antics of Im Jin Joo to the endearing charm of Lee Eun Jung, each actor brings their A-game to the table, elevating the drama with their impeccable chemistry and comedic timing.

So, while "Be Melodramatic" may not be the heart-pounding thrill ride we were hoping for, it still delivers enough laughs and heartwarming moments to make it a worthwhile watch. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and prepare to be swept away on this eccentric rollercoaster of a drama!

I know there are a lot of critics regarding the slow-pace, the overall storyline. But i will critize The cast. There is something strange with the emotion and chemistry between the writer and director characters. They are seems forced to have a romantic relationship, even i doubt is there any attraction between them. Idk maybe something is missing from the way te actors present it. Sometimes I'm confused about the meaning of their stares and smiles. The writer is too quirky and difficult to understand, i cant relate to her since her expression is often annoying. The director is also the same, many of his expression I barely watch. I can't help to resemble him as the Jung Bong of Reply 1988. Often, when it's their scenes, I speed up or even skip. The two main characters look like forced to be complicated, and make it meaningless instead.

What kept me to still watching until the end was just to know the endgame of the other two female leads. They have better storylines and developing characters than the main story. What should be the main story isn't even interesting :) idk but this drama is overrated. sorry. Keep it up, everyone involved! I hope your next project will be better. I love the main OST btw.

The perfect slice-of-life drama for me, 10/10

There are no "big" events in this drama or scenes that would keep you on the edge of your seat. It is just a show about four characters and the people around them in their jobs and lives. This is just a simple drama, but why do I rate it a 10/10? The answer is the flow. The way they tell and show each character's story will connect you with them. Individually, they are all strong, independent adults in their 30s, but once they got home and were surrounded by their loved ones, you could see how vulnerable and gullible they were and how much they needed each other. This hits close to home.

As someone who is still young, I always imagine what will and could happen when I turn 30. And this drama answered those questions. A lot of things could happen; you will mature, grow, struggle, and meet a lot of people who could help you or ruin you, yet you will still find yourself like the old you. In short, there is no big difference between your 20s and your 30s; you just have to embrace change.

Definitely worth watching and recommendable.

The friendship between the leads is the highlight!

The first half of this series is solid. You will be automatically engrossed in in the lives of the characters by the second episode. My favorite character is Eun-jung. Her story was both heartbreaking and uplifting and the actress played her brilliantly. I wish she had more screentime than the main lead female who plays a writer. Although I enjoyed the main lead at the begining, by the end I found her annoying and the conversations she had with the 'director' were too philosophical and at times nonsensical. Maybe if I knew Korean I would understand better. The gist is that by the end they both aggravated me. I think the drama is slightly overrated here in MDL.
