Be Melo is a drama of its own league. From the first ep, it aims to be 'different'. It wants to send us message about life crisis in the perspective of 30 year olds, and it nails it in a very reflective, but sometimes- random way. The ending is anti-climatic, and that's my only 'nitpick'. I actually want the ending to be more hopeful and cheerful, or extravagant, because all the characters deserve it. But, this is the kind of show that tried to capture mundane and the fluid of how real life time flows , therefore I could also accept it just the way it is. I recommend this, if you're looking for a drama that has low-key stakes that felt too personally relatable. What the characters are having, are probably something that you had or are having at the moment, and it comforts you through the dialogues. 9/10
yeah, you're right. i also egged a bit at that scene since his paranoia really have kicked in and it shows., which also worries me since he'd done some of the things the gangsta ahjussi did before getting killed. i think it's also in line with his intense ptsd dreams which only escalate on each episodes.
my first impression of this drama wasn't so good. i didn't feel the creep factor on ep 1 and ep 2. but then i watched 3 onwards and it has been a madness journey ever since this drama should've been 9 or more
actually for some unknown reason the oompa loompas gave me anxiety attack whenever i watched them as a child and…
i personally sees them as contradictory. their face is deadpan, but they'd parade on cheerful song while maintaining that 'deadpan'ness. when i first saw them, they did send some contradictory feels for me. dunno if i'm supposed to laugh or creeped with their acts x) perhaps that contradiction was what triggered your anxiety.
lol didn't that Bbaya tribe remind you guys with oompa loompa from charlie and chocolate factory? omg the dance sequence tho xDDD this drama is such a crack, if they keep up the acid trip it'll be 10/10 for me
I know who she will end up with but I already wish she did with the other dude. I might drop it because of that…
Ugh, thanks for confirming my suspicion.. This is bad, like really bad. I also prefer the King. They have tons of chemistry. That scene when he picked her from the street and piggyback her, it was 10x magnetic than when she was with the silent matchmaker. I just thought their chemistry is gravitating more toward friendship.. ah idk. Thanks again. I'm just a bit bumped. I didn't properly ship Ji Hoon in his previous drama and at least wanted to make it right in this one. Looks like I'll have to wait for another one lol.
Yeah.. oddly enough, I shipped her with Prof Jung there, while everyone else gushed about Kim Geum. I felt like Prof Jung wouldn't be the main lead after that particular episode (forget which one lol), I hate this situation where the main lead is hardly predictable, and also considering the 'all over the place' plot, I ended up dropping it somehow.
After watching the first episode, I decided to drop this as both guys feel like main lead. If I ship the wrong person the heartbreak would be too real u,u I never get into SLS before. Almost got stuck into one in Mamafairy but I dropped it before finished. I didn't get the feel yet of the drama so I think it would take another episodes to settle in.
This show has become my biggest regret for not sticking to it after the fifth episode. I dropped it before the twist, and I could never continue from where I left off as I already knew about the twist from other people's explanation rather my own watching experience.
I was truly affected as I read someone's recap of the ending. It hurts, and I couldn't even contain my aches for Hye Ja. This is just how powerful, moving, and bittersweet this show had its effect for me.
By now, you must have heard the praises for this drama. And if you're still unconvinced, know that the writers know what they're doing. I had thoughts that the story was all over the place, but that was simply because the writer took us to places we've not so familiarly acquainted with, to show the pain and beauty of loving someone that transcends time and places.
I believe Jin Joo and Beom Soo's journey to their drama making and the interwoven path with other characters is really about Be Melo's journey before being aired in JTBC. Is this what you would called with meta reference? I checked on the director for this drama and he seemed young for this profession. Maybe their love story is either inspired by the director's or someone he closely observed. haha. Or he's probably a creative at heart. I mean, that scene when Jin Joo says her farewell to his ex? Both are calm and accepting, no drama, screaming or pulling hair in the restaurat. Just like the ex said, 'she's so cool'. well dude, you are also a cool person for not forcing her to what you want, or holding her. You respect her decision too, mate. Love all of these characters, even writer Jung hahah <3

Maybe it's also part of his personality in rl :D
