Synopsis
This drama tells the story of a man and a woman who are both frozen during an experiment. They wake up 20 years later instead of 24 hours later and must keep their body temperature above 30°C in order to survive.
Ma Dong Chan (Ji Chang Wook) is known in the entertainment world as a “hit maker.” A very successful producer of variety programs when every project he attaches himself to turns into a ratings juggernaut, Dong Chan is considered “a manly specimen of manhood, with perfect physical and handsome features who is coldly cool in work and hot in love.” The broadcast station where PD Ma’s productions are filmed also employs part-timer Go Mi Ran (Won Jin Ah), who finds herself in a bind with debt collectors harassing her family for repayment of her family’s debts.
Mi Ran eventually becomes involved with PD Ma’s new variety program entitled “24-Hour Frozen Human Project,” which revolves around an experiment where a man and woman are randomly chosen to be “frozen human specimens” and scheduled to be brought back within 24 hours of their entering the freezing chambers. In order to pay off her family debts, Mi Ran accepts an offer of 5 million won (approx. $4,200 USD) in exchange for being frozen for 24 hours. Due to a mysterious conspiracy, instead of being frozen for 24 hours, they remain frozen for 20 years. Their thawing 20 years later bring up personal difficulties that were in place before entering the freezing chamber that they must resolve before resuming their normal lives.
Dong Chan and Mi Ran start out resenting each other whilst trying to reverse their lives and find out the side effects of frozen human experimentation, with one affecting their very existence – the need to keep their average body temperature close to 31.5°C (88.7ºF) in order to survive.

OMFG…. Ji chang wook is back…. I’m literally screaming, Can’t wait…..
September 13th, 2019 at 11:01 pm
The plot sounds pretty ridiculous but I’m still gonna watch it, I hope it’ll be good.
September 25th, 2019 at 8:39 pm
Not only the plot sounds ridiculous but first trailers show it is kind of silly too. JCW comedic abilities are going to be tested here. Hope it won’t be a disaster.
September 27th, 2019 at 1:31 pm
Judging from the trailers and co-stars, this drama won’t be half as good as “Suspicious Partner”.
Will watch the first 2 episodes and post my feedback.
October 4th, 2019 at 7:59 pm
I watched the first two episodes and found it to be a lovely si-fi rom-com. Waiting for more. 🙂
October 5th, 2019 at 5:38 am
First two episodes are daebak! I made the right choice of watching this drama.
October 14th, 2019 at 9:17 am
I have watched 5 episodes of this drama.. and I am loving it… I am happy that Ji Chang Wook is back… The drama was so fun to watch so far…!!
October 21st, 2019 at 12:54 am
This drama is very funny and can’t believe it’s even better than “Suspicious Partner”. Highly recommended.
October 22nd, 2019 at 8:24 pm
Great casting but not sure with the content 🙁 hoping it gets better
November 12th, 2019 at 3:05 pm
THE STORY IS NOT UPTO THE MARK.. I ALSO FEEL THEY COULD HAVE CHOSEN A BETTER ACTRESS…

Beautiful story. I saw again my fave actor Ji Chang Wook after his military discharged. I love his personality here. ❤
November 26th, 2019 at 6:06 pm
Love JCW and this drama!
November 30th, 2019 at 8:35 am
I was highly anticipated this drama cause of JCW and got disappointed. I drop this after ep 6 and completely immersed in Tale of Nokdu. Melting Me is just ok for me. I even found the romance is boring. JCW acting is no difference than in suspicious partner. I dont think he can pull off comedic well, same expressions.

Melting Me Softly, the KDrama that has stolen the hearts of the Fans, Friends, Followers and Family of our most Fabulous Star Ji Chang Wook!
The first of his Dramas to be presented to the world after his “Tour of Duty” in the Korean Armed Forces!
Melting me Softly has met all the requirements of a modern millennium #RomCom Drama that has captured the Imaginations and hearts of the World!
The story is not only credible, it is charming, engaging and very funny. We believe the Drama is the first in this genre and will inspire many more senario’s that will open the avenues to many more writers, directors and leading stars!
From all the “Fans of Ji Chang Wook ~ in Auckland, New Zealand!”

read the comments here, wanting to find out if it deserves to be the best drama in this web site. of course jcw fans would vote for this but judging from its ratings also posted here, i don’t know if i should watch the series. i’ve proven to myself, many times over, that many actors i’ve watched in their earlier projects acted well to prove their worth, but failed in succeeding assignments. should i experiment watching this series?
December 23rd, 2019 at 8:44 am
I’m on the fifth episode, but the series is very boring. What’s the big wow about the movie? Incredible.
December 25th, 2019 at 4:12 am
I gave up on part 5. Unwatchable.
December 30th, 2019 at 7:53 am
I love the trailer so I started watching it. But after the first few episodes, story became too boring/absurd and I had to drag myself into finishing the whole drama. I’m sure a lot of effort was done into making it work, but eventually the drama fell short.. hope jcw will be able to find a better project soon.
January 23rd, 2020 at 10:08 pm
Drama ji Chang wook best drama
January 26th, 2020 at 1:40 pm
I watch this drama bcs of JCW. I endured for few episodes but that’s it. Sorry JCW, the drama is just not as expected. I can’t finish it. Hope JCW will come back with better drama, maybe action romantic type of drama. JCW, fighting! Anyway, WJA’s acting is not bad also. Hope she’ll get better drama.
