Sparkling Watermelon

Who ever wrote this story I give a round of applause to you. Well written and thought out. This is not the average romance cliche story where they take a basic plot of of a irritating girl, thats immature then they match them with the respectable well educated and rich guy. Knowing The girl doesn't deserve the guy at all. Thankfully twinkling Watermelon is nothing like that. The characters in this show are given a real indepth back ground and helps you to understand them better. You can see the real emotions in the characters and their journey of highs and lows we see them in their growth. This story will make you laugh, cry and dance. This is now in my top 10 kdramas of all time. Again well done to the writers, actors and directors.

9.8/10Don't judge the title,first lead who accidentally gets back in the past and he meets his dad but his dad is the same age as himWith no identity there he lies to him and stays with his dad. Meanwhile his dad makes a band to impress his first loveBut then main lead realises the first love his dad talking about isn't his mom and is some other he knows in present So now he has to make his dad and mom meet But also his dad and mom are deaf but in past he sees his dad isn't deaf he realises an accident happens so he must also try to stop it. Also many more things happen due to his intervention.

I literally have never cried this much while watching a kdrama. I was already having so many kdramas on my most favourite list but this has crossed all the boundaries. IT LITERALLY BLEW MY MIND!!! I don't even have words to express how much this drama meant to me. Even though it made me cry in almost every episode I also had a good laugh. It was such a heartwarming drama and it has definitely got the spot in my top dramas list. And yeah, the cast was perfect like I can't even imagine anybody else playing their roles🤧.

If not the best of all time, this drama has to be the best drama of 2023!!!

I hope it wins all the awards it deserves!!

I love every bit of this show, except for tiny one. Yeah time travel is an incredibly complex plot to cover and yes this show makes it seem like a child's play, therefore you should NOT except consistency in that case whatsoever, you'll understand me if you've watched 12 Monkeys or Dark. But this show isn't actually about time travel anyways. It's about friendship, love, family. It's about forming sincere bonds. It makes your heart melt in some scenes, makes you laugh out loud in some others. Not only do characters bond with each other but you as the viewer also bond with them. It can easily become anyone's comfort show. THAT is the reason I love it so so much.

But... Spoiler comes here, don't read if you haven't finished

I really couldn't bring myself liking their ultimate end. I understand that Cheong-ah comes from a wealthy family and she made up with her father in 1995 and that means her new future could change in a way. But I don't think they needed to become this forefront successful "business" family to be "better". For me their former family was also so sincere, lovely, and just as enough. They didn't have so much money before, but they had everything else. Did they really needed to be ultra rich and famous to be happier? In fact when I saw that they happened to become such big famous people as a family, I kind of dissociated with them. That is my only criticism and hence my rating. I wish we could see their new future condition in a more sincere setting rather then being exposed how they became high society. The writers really must have thought this is the most fulfilling ending: seeing them rich and having power. I couldn't disagree more. I would prefer to see them for example having their breakfast on a Sunday morning, in which I-chan's friends happen to be there, chatting and laughing together. But I don't know, maybe that's just me.

Really good drama that lets its four leads sparkle. Twinkling Watermelon features themes of family and identity at various times in the characters' lives, and while it looks like a fun ride on its nostalgic surface, this series has bigger emotional payoffs simmering just under the surface. Boy, do the final two episodes serve up the full force of the writer's prowess. In the end, each character develops the tools to help them communicate better whether through signing, music, or simply summoning the courage to ask the questions they never could. The male leads are excellent especially in the finale episodes but it's Choi Hyun-Wook, who has shone in everything he's done to date, demonstrating again why he'll be the next big thing in Korean tv.
