What makes Be Melodramatic worth watching
Cult favorite with one of the great K-drama soundtracks.
Be Melodramatic represents a strong example of south korea romance from the 2019 production cycle. Korean studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Romance and Comedy elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Chun Woo-hee, Jeon Yeo-been, Han Ji-eun, with strong supporting work from Ahn Jae-hong. It originally aired on JTBC, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
