The drama of my life at 30 told in a timid way

Watching Be Melodramatic when it's not yet 30 years old is interesting, at the same time that you are afraid you are excited to know what kind of reality you will face at this age, especially the amorous ones, in which the drama brings being very happy in some and honestly very unhappy in others, so in this review I’d prefer to bring my view on each plot presented by this drama separately.

Jim Joo & Beom Soo - The main couple in this drama is totally out of the ordinary, the dialogues between them were so complex that I came back to see if I understood correctly the feeling they wanted to convey and this was a bad experience by far, on the contrary , the way this couple has developed is incredible since standing still for an entire episode or even the fart fight that was just great (it's my favorite episode)

Yeo bin - At the beginning I found her plot delusional due to the death of her boyfriend, a bit boring and erased in relation to the others, but all of that started to change when she started to interact with So Min's desire to live and how So Min's relationship with Min Joo made her mature and face her grief, proving that she could be happy, it was the character that grew the most for me in the end her story became my favorite.

Han Joo - Initially it was the plot that caught my attention the most, I was glad they will address the difficulties of single Korean mothers ... good at first until they tried, but I felt that her character was so involved in the conflicts of Jae Hoon and Ha Yoon that his own story was in the background and its outcome has gone nowhere.

Hyo Bong - Speaking of nowhere, we arrived with the biggest mistake of the entire drama here. Be Melodramatic has sold and still sells this drama as an LGBT genre, but there is nothing about it. There is no development of Hyo Bong with her boyfriend or her story. They even gave evidence that he might have a story to develop, revealing that his parents do not accept him for being gay and chose to flee, in addition to the scene where he and her boyfriend were expelled from the restaurant. In my view the author did intend to develop this character and bring the theme to a great Korean drama, but in the process (as the drama itself brings back) they were prevented by JTBC from valuing this character, and clearly he gets lost totally in history.

In conclusion Be Melodramatic is a very entertaining drama with serious intentions, which were only in intention, tried to be bold in a shy way, and shyness made them miss the opportunity to be an excellent drama to be just entertainment Ok!
