Melt Me Softly Turning Into Lowest Rated tvN Sat-Sun Drama in 9 PM Time Slot

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 16, 2019 by ockoalaOctober 15, 2019
"Two promotional posters for a romantic drama."

I don’t know what went wrong with tvN drama Melt Me Softly but it comes across as a sticky melting ice pop that a viewer can’t find enjoyment with. I loved the premise, two people get cryogentically frozen for 20 years and return to regain their lives and also conveniently fall in love. But I don’t connect with Ji Chang … Continue reading →

Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah Attend Press Conference for tvN Drama Melt Me Softly

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 22, 2019 by ockoalaSeptember 21, 2019
Two people making a heart shape gesture.

Upcoming tvN Sat-Sun K-drama Melt Me Softly clearly took it’s inspiration from the US movie Passengers, but without the problematic choice (bad choice) element that doomed the male lead’s intentions. It’s like the leads Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah are the only two frozen in time and are dealing with the same return to society shock, no wonder … Continue reading →

Close Ups Showcase Emotions in Character Poster for tvN Drama Melt Me Softly

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 16, 2019 by ockoalaSeptember 15, 2019
Person with intense gaze and short hair.

This is a really interesting concept to unpeel, and plenty of movies and TV shows have touched upon it. Either time-travel or being frozen in time, there’s a rebirth of sorts once the character lands to kick off the story. For tvN drama Melt Me Softly, the year went from 1999 to 2019 and goodness I’ve lived a lifetime in … Continue reading →

Ji Chang Wook is a Polished PD and Won Jin Ah an Energetic Contestant Crossing Paths in K-drama Melt Me Softly

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2019 by ockoalaSeptember 7, 2019
Man in white shirt engaging in conversation.

September is when movie season slows down after the jam-packed summer months but I find it usually a good time for K-dramas to deliver quality fare heading into the fall. End of the month comes Melting Me Softly on tvN, which has been promoting for over a month so I feel like it should be here by now but eh … Continue reading →

An Enclosed Elevator and Attraction Leads to Temperature Checks in New Trailer for Melt Me Softly

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 6, 2019 by ockoalaSeptember 5, 2019
Romantic tension between two characters in elevator.

The connection and attraction between the leads in upcoming tvN drama Melt Me Softly feels so restrained and contained. I guess it stems from the two needing to keep their body temperatures below a certain level so as to not die after being cryogenically frozen for twenty years, or maybe their personalities are already the subtle type. Either or both … Continue reading →

Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah are Encased in Ice and Angst in New Poster and Previews for Melting Me Softly

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2019 by ockoalaAugust 31, 2019
Group of people around ice-encased couple.

The first poster for tvN drama Melting Me Softly was all romance, focusing on leads Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah in quiet repose. The second poster brings out the whole kit and caboodle, or the cast I mean, and pivots into the more comedic aspects of the central predicament. The leads were cryogenically frozen for 20 years instead … Continue reading →
