Melting Me Softly

Worth a shot

This is a great drama! Interesting storyline (2 people frozen for 20 years they come back to a changed world), little angst and the romance was romancing. It doesn't deserve 7.6 stars but way more than 10 stars.






This was my first time watching Ji Chang Wook and he was fantastic as the male lead Ma Dong Chan. I definitely plan on watching more of his dramas.

The FL wasn't irritating until right at the last episode, thankfully she comes to her senses.

Her little brother was adorable, his scenes definitely require a box of tissues.

The 2FL( the ex girlfriend) was irritating as h*** she did some horrible stuff and got away with it. This was the only bad thing in this drama.

The ending was a happy one but a bit rushed.

If scifi isn't your thing and you can't suspend disbelief for 16 episodes then look elsewhere because this drama won't be for you.

However if you like scifi, romance with 2 people trying to make sense of the changed world they now found themselves in, all while falling in love with each other then give this one a shot.

I'm Thawed Not Melted

Loved the cast and acting ~ some real favourites. Not blown away by the chemistry between JCW and WJA, although a couple of decent kisses in there!
I liked the overall story, especially from the point of view of ageing and some discussions around that. There was genuine comedy at times and some very touching moments, however, for me these were marred by over the top, farcical scenes that made it messy. Either write a farce, or a serious bit of fantasy/rom/com.
A bench scene in the final episode was nuts given what the character involved had just gone through. A ridiculous, over-used cliché, was also shoved in for good measure... a bike ride. Aaaaagh!
I am pleased I watched this, but probably won't do so again.

An excellent drama to watch. I felt the storyline was very interesting. I won't give it away but it made me very cold inside. This is a type of romance you would not expect from two people. Ji Chang Wook played Ma Dong Chan so perfectly and made this character come to life. Won Jin Ah, I applaud this actress, who played Go Mi Ran. Her character was standoffish in the beginning but pulled it through at the end. Very well done. I thank all the other actresses and actors who had parts. You can't skip to the end on this one or you will miss all the good parts in between. I did feel sad for one of the characters. That's all I'm going to say on this.

Honestly its my first review, but after seeing others i though i need to add my opinion.

First half (as in 70% dramas) was really good. I loved the plot up to what was going on after they woke up, watching how it all went so smoothly was entertaining, but the second half was a little boring. To be honest, the story about romance was really good and watching this made me feel relaxed. But the „thrill” part with mysterious other person which was frozen was unnecessary, actually i just skipped it.

So, the acting was the main factor why i continue to watch it. All of the characters felg real and i loved that there were some unique dialogs and scenes.
I think thats why everybody should give it a go - dont expect some serious drama (go watch Cruel City or The smile has left your eyes if u want to), but great actors, chemistry and humor.
I rated it as 8, but i think its too high and 7.5 is too low, the perfect would be 7.75, mainly because im annoyed by the fact in the drama they didnt say who was the rest people that get frozen and why...

Emocionante

Q kdrama delicado

Não gosto muito de kdrama.Primeiro, pq as mocinhas são sempre umas tontas. Segundo, pq é muito arrastado. Uma história q caberia em 10 episódios, transformam em 16

Então, só p eu começar a assistir, tem q ser algo q me interesse
Gostei do diferencial da criogenia e comecei

A prota não é tonta como a maioria dos kdramas. Ela é forte, faz o q quer e sempre toma a iniciativa sem medo algum
Aliás, medo nem consta no seu dicionário

Destaques p o irmão da prota e p a sobrinha do prota
Duas delícias de assistir

Temos uma história sem enrolação, q vc ri bastante (talvez p equilibrar as outras emoções), chora horrores e repensa demais na vida

Super recomendo

A unique interesting heart warming story

I usually dont write any comments. The most important reason i do, is because reading comments of other people, i was about not to start seeing it. Thankfully i heard my instinct by seeing a sparkle of something unique from the trailer, so i gave it a chance and it was the right thing to do! Its a very pleasant story, one of a kind, heart warming, not only a love story but also with messages about family caring and the unique part i havent seen in other dramas: the nostalgia of a different era...the child that always remains a child inside you.. No matter the time that goes by.. Congratulations on doing such a good work!

So worth it!!!

I don't understand why there were a lot of bad comments. This show had a lot of potential.

Story: I could understand on one part of why they were saying that it was confusing. The first episode was meant to be confusing because of how it focused in and out on how it came about when Mi Ran and Dong Chan went into the cryogenic capsule. The show didn't drag on and stall on the mystery when clues came up like some shows do.

Acting: The acting was great! I was honestly hooked on the first episode when i watched the actors and actresses get so in depth of their character. they made it seem as if their character was a real person. What made this more interesting is that there was a couple actors that were from another one of my favorite k-drama called Strong woman Kim Bong-Soon as soon as i saw them. I instantly knew that this show would be unforgettable.

Music: I honestly can't say anything about the music because I didn't pay a lot of attention to it. I was so engrossed with the acting and the story

Re-watch Value: As you can see the re-watch value is really high. I will most defiantly be re-watching this show.

( note: at the very beginning i was really hesitant on watching this show over what it was about and because of the comments below. But i wanted to draw my own opinion and watch small clips of this show on YouTube, finally deciding to watch it, and boy this show is actually worth defending over. )

Fantastic show!

I jumped into this movie for Ji Chang Wook and was surprised at how much I loved it. I had read some reviews that were mixed and while I don't judge too much based on reviews, I certainly don't get my hopes up either. This show was a lovely combination of humor and drama. I'm a sucker for romance and redemption story arcs and while I am now happy how it all ended, I was hoping just a little bit that there had been some sort of redemption from the FL's ex. But he was extremely annoying so after finishing this I'm not upset at the suffering he has and will continue to go though. Other than that, I felt the casting and story were beautifully done. This will def be a rewatch for me.

Let me start by saying that I loved the actors and actresses in this show. However, this show was all over the place. It had so much potential, and the storyline could have been a masterpiece. The acting was over the top. The chemistry seemed forceful, and there was no base for the "head over heel" love they tried but failed to portray. At some point, they began to drag out the lines, and everything became more outlandish than before. People are giving this a high rating because of the actor, but not even him could escape the doom that was the writing of this show. I wanted to love this show, but alas I am left with food poisoning because it is one plate of bad leftover taco. I am so disappointed that I will have to watch 3 episodes of Drake and Josh to give me joy.
