Please Melt Me

Thought after welcome 2 life ended I be bored but came across this and must say it's good. Shame in UK we never get to c many korean shows or movies

The storyline of "Melting me softly" is a unique one, but the the biggest challenge with sci fi story line is that it should be backed up with thorough research. The solutions to the challenges that arise out of a bizarre experiment seem oversimplified, making the script too loose for its viewers. I appreciate how they have dared to explore something like this but it required better execution. Ji Chang Wook is a pleasure to watch, as always, and the lead pair looks cute together. However, what falls through is poor editing that focuses too much on forgettable side characters. K-dramas are known for their memorable side characters with impressive character arcs. The comic timing was also a little off and unrealistic with the lead characters being unrealistically jealous in their relationship when there's the looming concern of their possible fatality.

I'm trying to love this drama. I love the lead actor who impressed in Healer but appart from the romance with the lead actress, which is quite cute, the story plot is completely unrealistic and each episode moves sooooo slowly. Nothing really happened till now.

Won Jin-A plays Go Mi-ran a student who is working on an entertainment programme as an assistant and is in a shallow relationship with a fellow student. Ji Chang-wook plays Ma Dong-chan who is a tv producer at the same station and is in a serious relationship with a newsreader. Circumstances means that the two leads are to be frozen for twenty four hours in a tv programme exclusive, sadly it all goes awry and they end up not being frozen for a day but for 20 years. It is a clever idea and as a romantic comedy it is enjoyable because the actors do a convincing job of making the feelings between them believable. Some interesting side characters and stories which I think should have been explored to make it more interesting. Overall a good story but too many things going on and little background or depth given to any of the stories apart from the romance.

The concept for this story was quite good. The execution wasn't bad either for the most part. The visuals were excellent - Ji Chang-wook ... they took every opportunity to show his best sides and I bet he melted everyone softly. <3

The ending was terrible though. It was weird, anti-climatic and felt rushed. It disappointed a lot of viewers despite it was a happy ending.

My personal gripe is the way they dressed the female lead. You can make a woman look sweet and innocent without dressing her in Grand-mas curtains. Seriously.
