Probably an unpopular Beanie opinion: Not hating Melting Me Softly…
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a perfect show. The first two episodes felt like a recap of a first season that doesn’t exist with the way it was cutting through scenes. There are sometimes weird tonal shifts and some emotional pockets that deserved to be sat in a little more. Story feels sparse with its lack of fish-out-of-water hijinks/emotions for the most part…and yet, I am thoroughly engaged and enjoying myself. In a way I haven’t felt for a drama in a long time. Like, I am genuinely invested. I’m sure I have the advantage of going in knowing audience reactions and adjusting my expectations but in sitting down to watch, I didn’t really expect to like anything lol. But I do! It’s def. more of an absurd situation rom-com mystery than a romantic dramedy about two people trying to adjust after missing 20 years of life, but I like the characters, the humor is not too over the top, and the relationships are believable. I like Dong Chan + Mi Ran bonding over just literally trying to stay alive. I like Ha Young’s many moral/emotional dilemmas and trying to figure out what she really wants. I’m interested in what seems to be an evil twin although I have no idea why he’s evil lol. I dunno. It’s silly and fun and pretty sweet. 🤷🏾♀️
I’m not finished yet, though. But I’m def. gonna see it ’til the end.
Ah, I haven’t checked. I was really just talking DB. I can understand the negative reaction but I also see the positive too. Like the big picture is whatever but the little things are nice.

I’ve seen plenty of positive comments on Viki, so you’re definitely not alone in this view.
