"Melting Me Softly" will tell the viewers the story of Ma Dong Chan played by Ji Chang Wook and Go Mi Ran played by Won Jin Ah who will be participating in a science project of freezing humans for straight 24 hours but unfortunately due to its mysterious circumstances they wake up 20 years later instead.

With regards to the reasons for casting Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah, director Shin Woo Chul explained, "Ji Chang Wook showed off his acting abilities through several projects and I have had my eye on Won Jin Ah since her debut.

I felt certain that this actress has more to show. This character is completely different from her previous characters. I felt certain that I could show different sides of Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah.

Moreover, the writer of the series Baek Mi Kyung added, "Ma Dong Chan is a character who is reckless enough to participate in an experiment of being frozen and he is sort of like Don Quixote. He does not seem to have a sense of reality but the sweetness of Ji Chang Wook has made him into a more likable and public friendly character.

There were some concerns about the casting of Won Jin Ah, as some said that she does not for the character and that she has not shown much previously. However, the director and I really liked her, and meeting her personality, she is very similar to Go Mi Ran."

While Ji Chang Wook shared that he chose this drama series because of the reason that he found the plot really interesting, according to him, "I think the relationships between the characters after 20 years will be fun to watch."

On the other side, Won Jin Ah also commented, "I do not remember much from 1999 because I was young so I asked the senior actors a lot. I thought a lot about how to be convincing in expressing the situation." Im Woo Hee added, "I hope for the ratings to hit 10% quickly."
