This is interesting. Actress Yoon Se-ah (SKY Castle) has joined Ji Chang-wook (Suspicious Partner) in his new drama about cryogenics. Written by Baek Mi-kyung (Miracle That We Met) and directed by Shin Woo-chul (Fox Bride Star), this tvN drama is called Melt Me. A man and a woman participate in a project to be frozen for 24 hours, but something goes awry and they wake up 20 years later.
Ji Chang-wook plays a PD named Ma Dong-chan, and Yoon Se-ah will play his first love, a news anchor named Na Ha-young. They were engaged, and she was even the narrator for the program that Ma Dong-chan started twenty years in the past. But after he disappeared, she just focused on her career and became a cold husk of the person she once was.
I’m looking forward to this drama for multiple reasons now. The writer was the mastermind behind Beloved Eun-dong, one of the most heartbreaking melodramas in recent drama history. Shin Woo-chul, the director, had worked with Yoon Se-ah several times in the past including some of my favorites of her like A Gentleman’s Dignity And Gu Family Book. And did I mention, it’s Ji Chang-wook’s army comeback project?
tvN’s upcoming drama Melt Me will begin airing later this year.
