Melting Me Softly reminds me of a helicopter parent, carefully following the lead characters and eliminating every obstacle so they can uneventfully arrive at their destination. The writer begins with an interesting premise and a strong opening, but with almost every promising shoot or idea she introduces, she quickly and carefully resolves the tension so that the drama's emotional temperature remains as carefully regulated as the leads' 31.5-degree romantic limitations. The side characters function more like satellites, with peripheral longings that are never fully woven into the central story. So many promising ideas clipped prematurely. Such a waste!
