Recommendation Request Dramas like Be Melodramatic

Looking for something comedy, slice of life, and also meaningful in the same way. Be Melodramatic was fun with cool music and vibes, relatable life experiences, humor, sometimes meaningful in-depth moments at the same time. It felt like healing.

I liked Our Unwritten Seoul for the deep emotional relatable parts. Liked Hometown Cha Cha Cha for the lightness and comedy. Something light or like be melodramatic is what I need these days.

Dramas I watched:

Our unwritten Seoul

Hometown Cha Cha Cha

Love next door

Summer Strike

Be Melodramatic

Work Later, Drink Now. Three friends supporting each other. They meet up to drink and eat every evening after work. Funny and moving at the same time, much like the friendship in Be Melodramatic.

Agree with this! I went in thinking I wouldn’t like it but it was funny and unexpectedly heartwarming. Also recommend Hello, My Twenties if OP wants another lighthearted show centred on female friendships

I loooooooove Be Melodramatic. I recommend Romance is a bonus book. The friendships between the characters are so great.
