Synopsis
This drama tells the story of a man and a woman who are both frozen
during an experiment. They wake up 20 years later instead of 24 hours
later and must keep their body temperature above 30°C in order to
survive. Ma Dong Chan (Ji Chang Wook)
is known in the entertainment world as a “hit maker.” A very successful
producer of variety programs when every project he attaches himself to
turns into a ratings juggernaut, Dong Chan is considered “a manly
specimen of manhood, with perfect physical and handsome features who is
coldly cool in work and hot in love.” The broadcast station where PD
Ma’s productions are filmed also employs part-timer Go Mi Ran (Won Jin Ah), who finds herself in a bind with debt collectors harassing her family for repayment of her family’s debts. Mi Ran eventually becomes involved with PD Ma’s new variety program
entitled “24-Hour Frozen Human Project,” which revolves around an
experiment where a man and woman are randomly chosen to be “frozen human
specimens” and scheduled to be brought back within 24 hours of their
entering the freezing chambers. In order to pay off her family debts, Mi
Ran accepts an offer of 5 million won (approx. $4,200 USD) in exchange
for being frozen for 24 hours. Due to a mysterious conspiracy, instead
of being frozen for 24 hours, they remain frozen for 20 years. Their
thawing 20 years later bring up personal difficulties that were in place
before entering the freezing chamber that they must resolve before
resuming their normal lives.
Dong Chan and Mi Ran start out resenting each other whilst trying to
reverse their lives and find out the side effects of frozen human
experimentation, with one affecting their very existence – the need to
keep their average body temperature close to 31.5°C (88.7ºF) in order to
survive.
