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.
