Read Webtoon Melting Point Full Chapter: A Reunion on Ice That Turns Up the Heat

Melting Point--

Melting Point is PIBI’s newest BL webtoon—equal parts slow-burn romance and high-stakes sports drama—about two people who once shared the rink, the locker room, and a complicated history.

 Years later, they collide again, older and sharper, with thicker armor and deeper wounds.

The setting is professional ice hockey, but the real game is the one they play with pride, memory, and desire. If you like love–hate chemistry that thaws into something tender, this is the kind of series that will have you reading “just one more episode” at 2 a.m.

The Setup (Spoiler-Light)

Twelve years after high school, Eunsan has stepped away from the ice and built a quiet, careful life.

He’s practical, protective, and not easily moved—until Ian reappears. Once a teammate (and arguably a thorn in Eunsan’s side), Ian shows up with an offer that’s hard to refuse.

There’s family on the line, there are debts—emotional and otherwise—that never quite got settled, and there’s the kind of unfinished business that keeps two people orbiting each other even when they claim to be done.

What begins as irritation and obligation slowly melts into curiosity and heat. Is Ian recruiting a partner for convenience, or has he always wanted Eunsan by his side—on and off the ice?

What Makes It Click

At its core, Melting Point works because it respects the messiness of adult relationships.

Eunsan and Ian aren’t teenagers anymore; they carry reputations, responsibilities, and the fear of making the same mistakes twice.

When they clash, it’s not just because they’re stubborn—it’s because they both remember the exact moment things went wrong and can’t agree on who should’ve pulled the other back.

The love–hate dynamic feels earned rather than gimmicky. Their banter cuts, but it also reveals—tiny cracks where care leaks through.

 The webtoon doesn’t rush to “I love you”; it lingers in eye contact, awkward silence, and those off-hand remarks that mean more than either will admit. It’s a slow simmer, and that patience pays off.

Hockey as a Stage (Not Just a Backdrop)

The hockey element adds texture and real stakes. Practices are grueling, games are strategic, and the physicality is constant—you feel the exhaustion pressed into the paneling.

 The sport becomes a metaphor: the ice is where both characters perform for the world while wrestling with what they can’t say in the locker room.

Rivalry and teamwork, aggression and restraint, public wins and private losses—hockey turns those tensions into choreography.

Even if you’re not a sports person, you’ll appreciate how the rink becomes the perfect stage for a couple that keeps colliding and recalibrating.

Characters You Can Root For

• Eunsan is the definition of guarded warmth. Outwardly composed, he makes decisions with his head… until the people he loves are involved. He’s the kind of character who insists he’s fine and then quietly takes on an extra shift or an impossible favor. Watching his walls come down is half the thrill.
• Ian reads confident—sometimes too confident—but that control has a history. His calculated moves can feel manipulative from afar, yet the series keeps nudging you to look closer. There’s sincerity under the swagger, the kind that makes his missteps frustrating and his vulnerability disarming.

Even the supporting cast (especially family) matters. They aren’t just plot devices; they’re pressure points that explain why these two men keep circling each other instead of simply walking away.
