No Logic. Lots of Critical ERRORs. Watch after kepping your brain in a Safe
Too many logical errors.The director must be a fool. He cant place himself in the charatcter while writting a script.
The character acted foolishly as the director wanted. Very silly, both male lead and the female lead. Even a kindergardern child can realize what is happening around them, but not these leads.

Windows 7??
OMG i was not aware that korea produced their own windows 7 and LED monitors as early as 90's.
Do the director take us for fool??
Is this a joke???

This was the first drama JCW aired after he came out from his enlistment so imagine the anticipation. I've been a fan of him ever since Empress Ki and I really was excited plus the plot was kind of interesting. I'm not familiar with the female lead's former dramas but I was interested on how their pairing would work out. Also, for some reason JCW's aura was extra sparkly for me during this drama
For me, this is a light drama. I like the fact that the female and male lead had no non-sense type of personality because if they had that ditzy type I would've dropped this. They played the older generation in modern times quite good. Plus, I was truly entertained with JCW's ahjussi attitude.

I find the premise of the show to be VERY interesting, and a really good idea. I also loved the fact that we got to see the 90s, earlier versions of them, along with them interacting with their friends and family then. It makes the impact of their time being frozen much more impactful, and you can truly feel how they feel what they're going through.
Now other than the premise, there were some things about this show, plot wise, that I didn't like and I think could have been done a lot more smoother/less frustrating. Some things were unexplained, or rushed through, and also left unanswered, which through the story are sometimes glaring.
Also, because I pointed out how some scenes were very emotional/impactful, I can tell the show was also trying to balance it out with humor/over acting from some side characters, which I didn't like and I feel didn't do a good job, and could be left out entirely. Instead of balancing the drama out, it pulls you out of the story and cheapens some moments.
Overall, the acting from the main characters were done phenomenally, and I enjoyed their screen time. I wish the romance was a bit more of a slow burn//steamy, but there's a specific one scene that includes a shower that I think I'm going to remember forever <3
In conclusion, if you're a fan of Ji Chang Wook, I would recommend this, but don't expect this to become an all time favorite and take the show with a grain of salt/lowered expectations. I became a fan of Won Jin Ah and Choi Bo Min from this, and I'm glad I completed it.

Worth a watch? Maybe...
Honestly, the reason why I chose to watch this drama in the first place was that it was Ji Chang Wook's comeback and I was excited for a very long time. And when I finally started watching it, to say I was disappointed would be an understatement.I'd say the story, in general, is very good and the actors played the roles very well. Especially the main leads... they were great. But what didn't work for me is the direction and the script. The plot had so much potential that it went down the sewer when I finally got to watch it. And the casting is another major loophole. The villain of the show was more like a comedian to me and I felt like they could have cast better people.
Ji Chang Wook usually chooses amazing dramas with great plots but this isn't something I expected when I heard he was in a drama. To begin with, my expectations weren't too high but as I said before, I was disappointed with the overall outcome.
Coming to the positives of this drama, if one is sick and tired of watching intense thrillers or horror and needs a break, they can give Melting Me Softly a try. It's not binge-worthy, but it is more like a break from all the noise. It has some really cute moments and the chemistry between the leads is no joke. The familial bonds in this show are something I really like watching and I appreciate the way they portrayed it. There's not much in terms of humor, but it's light-hearted.
I will continue looking forward to JCW's next drama and I'm also a fan of Won Jin Ah after this drama. She's a talented actress.
I'd probably never rewatch Melting Me Softly, but it was alright as long as it lasted. Liking or not liking this drama depends on the person and I'd say it is average.

I really liked the story but I do admit that there where some question that where unanswered when I finish it, but I can live with that, so I didn't really bother me. and I think the drama was a good and typical k-drama. I loved the romantic scene between the leads but I do wish they would have added a romantic scene in last episode. A lot of people didn't like the ending and I get why they say that but I thought it was an okay/good ending cause in the mid of the 15e episode they had solved everything and as a writer you can choose to have a new something that has to be solved or a new struggle, or you can you have the last 1,5 episodes with some cute and romantic scene and resolve some unanswered question if there are any. And I would have preferred if they did that, but they didn't, because they made a new problem/struggle that had to be solved and I think that a lot of people didn't like that decision. But I didn't think it was such a bad decision because I still enjoyed the last 2 episodes. The humor at the beginning was funny, but later in the episodes I did miss the funny scene they had in the first couple of episodes. And I do wish they would have added a romantic scene at the last episode but it was still cute to watch the main lead even if they didn't kiss and the kiss in episode 10 was a really good kiss and probably of my favorite kiss sence (spoiler is coming) mostly because I really loved the shower kiss sence in introverted boss and this reminded my of that kiss scene (spoiler is over)
I would definitely recommend this drama and I don't get why people would stop at episode 7 or 9 cause I watched the first 11 episodes in 1 day and the only time I did that was with decadence of the sun. So don't listened to people who say you shouldn't watch it cause it's a good drama.
(this is my first review, so I hope I did a good job at writing the review.and also English is my 3 language so sorry if I wrote something that was wrong)

a bit boring at the beginning of the episode, but is pretty good for the next episode from episode 3, The story is simple, but has pretty neat details, the story sometimes make me relive the past and think what will happen to me in the next 20 years, and makes me feel sad,sometimes make me laugh for the absurd relationship,not weird for this story,but funny, at least not lame for me
For the ending is good but you could say it's too ordinary and forced
And what make me confused is at the ending she frost again 23 nov 2019 and wake up 25 des++ 2021 but they said its already 3 years? Maybe because of newyears hmm
What happened to the other 3 capsules? , although it is not related to the main character it should be discussed because it has been brought up
not bad for watch

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.

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 delicadoNão 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
