As usual, 2019 is packed with Romantic-Comedy dramas, and this drama is one of it. It's a challenge to produce and write Rom-Com dramas with a fresh approach due to the saturatedness of the genre. However, Be Melodramatic, with its wittiness and brilliant use of Meta Comedy, stands out in the pool.

However, it has failed to catch the attention of the viewers which resulted in low ratings despite having such edge. One of the challenges that this drama faced was enriching the characters while matching the pace. World and character building takes a lot of time which compromised viewership ratings for this drama.

The story started shakey but it was able to pick up once the story progressed. The stories of the characters were compelling and the build-up was done well.

Of course, the charm of this drama is the meta-comedy that it possesses. The awareness of the drama about itself was so genius. However, for non-fans, it might take a while to be able to understand the humor.

Everyone's acting was superb, but I loved Jeon Yeo Bin's interpretation of Eunjoo the most. She was able to interpret Eunjoo's multi-faceted character well. Ahn Jaehong never fails in delivering when it comes to comedic roles.

The OST is good but it lacks variety.

Over-all I must say that this drama is well-crafted and it's unfortunate that it fell under the radar. It's a refreshing drama that deserves the attention of everyone.
