Sparkling Watermelon

The best kdrama in 2023!! Finally after very long time I have watched a good heart felt and beautiful drama.

All actors were too good and their chemistry was so so amazing. Their acting though<<<<<<33333. I felt their emotions, I cried with them , I laughed with them, I felt sad with them, writer made us to connect with each and every character in this drama. Writer give importance to each and every character that was the bestest thing. I suddenly felt like I should learn sign language that shows how much this show has an impact.

Hopefully we can see this kind of masterpiece again and again in kdrama world.

If you are looking for some heartfelt romance with great actors then please go for it!!

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.

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.

It will for sure be one of my top k dramas. It had my heart moved more than once. But it still kept the warm light hearted mood. It was a pleasent show to tune into after a stressful day. I really liked the complicated dynamic of hearing and hearing impaired. Most importantly how they actually used sign language. The main actors fit their role and acted it out sparkling. The story was well written and I can't really come up with something bad about it. Some of the main plot is something we seen plenty of times before, but made in a way I didnt mind that at all. Just if this genre is your cup of tea. This show is a must watch.

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.
