Don't let the title of the drama or the cast of second leads discourage you from watching it!

It took me a while to decide to press play and it was truly a delightful experience!

Without spoiling anything ..the show reignited my love for music...reminded me that my parents were once teenagers with hopes , dreams and inner struggles.. Just like twenty five twenty one drama.. Sparkling Watermellon will make you recall your first love which could either be a heartwarming or a heartbreaking experience. Nonetheless, you'll feel nostalgic for the past and its simple joys!

The show is still ongoing as I write this review, I'm on episode 9 and I still don't get its title?!

This Korean drama is at turns delightfully light and emotional. The music is superb. The actors are adorable. There are elements of coming-of-age, rom-com, and fantasy time travel. But, foremost, it embodies a celebration of life -- especially of aspects that are sweet and sparkly like the title, Twinkling Watermelon.

The emotional core involves the enduring dilemma faced by young people: whether to live a life that makes their heart beat or follow the lead of their parents. The main character Ha Eun-gyeol, a CODA (child of deaf adult) youth, grapples between following his passions and serving the needs of his family, when he is presented with an opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives by slipping back in time when his parents were his age. We're also presented with the question, would life really be better if the past changed to our liking?

As the story transpires, we see some of the joys and sparks of youth, its conflicts and uncertainties. It delves into teenage anxiety and mental health issues and the pressures from parents and society. The show also portrays beautiful friendships and loving, albeit sometimes misunderstood, family relationships. The deaf character portrayed by Shin Eun-soo is a gem. And Choi Hyun-wook is a master at capturing the spirit and zest of youth.

In a way, the show follows some of the winning formulae of other recent successes. As in the movie CODA, it peers into the lives of the deaf who face many challenges but lead meaningful lives. As in Someday or One Day, it makes you dream about rewriting the past, preventing accidents, and letting go of guilt and resentment. As in 2521 and the Reply series, it taps into 90s nostalgia, when times were simpler, when you had to run to a pay phone to answer urgent beeper messages and could drop by your friend's home anytime. So, in a way, it is not groundbreaking but a good story nonetheless.

If splitting hairs, the series is not without imperfections. Time travel presents logic problems. It's apparent from the proficiency of signing that the actors are not deaf themselves. And there is a reliance on common tropes to create obstacles for the characters. But I recommend you watch this for its emotional journey and uplifting message.

The main character's parents are deaf, but they are 'cheerful, healthy, and happy because they could communicate with their eyes, their hearts, and their hands.' We all have problems, but we can also grow, adapt, and have fun. The show promotes embracing music and loved ones: Seize the day, its joys and opportunities! ¡Viva la vida!

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!!

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.

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.

I have watched A LOT of dramas and this was very special in many ways.

They have done a fantastic job mixing a lot of genres that I had no idea they could mix this well and seamlessly.

It is very emotional and deep, but then it's silly and super fun and lighthearted. Then it's beautifully romantic and you will love the bond and loyalty of all of their friendships.

And the most special part is of course the value of family and how our male lead is doing everything he can to make his loved ones change their fate to be the happiest they can be.

There's so many complex subjects and subplots as well, but it works so well. Story is well paced and the twists are great and not predictable. The characters are well written and rich in layers and development.

Honestly, the writers of this drama deserve recognition for this work.

The chemistry amongst the cast is fantastic in general but the main pair and their bromance ( or better said father and son) is unbeatable. I had moments where I was honestly crying of laughter.

I have been following Choi Hyun Wook and his impressive acting for a while ( specially in Weak Hero Class), and it's just very unbelievable to me that he is only 21. I can't wait to see more of him.

But I do have to make a special mention of Ryeoun, the display of emotions he shows playing this character is amazing, he made me cry a few times and his eyes were just pure emotion the whole time. What a performance.

Overall was an amazing watch and the only reason am not giving a 10 is because I feel the entire ending was a bit rushed, otherwise it is truly an outstanding drama.

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.

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!!

This drama make you cry , this drama make you smile , this drama make you feel depressed, this drama make you happiest person in world , this drama will change your prospective, this drama give you comady, this give you life lessons, this drama is k drama of the year , if you missed this drama you will miss a big thing and in your k drama world . Thank you plz watch this drama must recommend. You will never regret you choose. I can give the guarantee. This drama is belassing for k drama watchers . The acting of the actors on point never saw this type of new actors can beat our 2016 time . Just watch this drama you will never regret.

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.

This kdrama is so special..... every episode is nice Upto expectations😄😄😄No single boring ep Especially the female lead became my favourite I liked her in Mr. Queen and Business proposal Chung Ah I liked her ...she looks so cute and innocent I'm gonna watch the final episode today... I will miss this drama....and waiting for each episode.. I will recommend to watch this 👍👍 The first episode was good...If u have a very bad mood and starting the drama first ep won't be that interesting for u....but don't stop watching this U will feel food after few episodes I watched this 2x...and skipped songs..

I just finished watching it and I can't stop the tears from falling. "Viva la vida". I realized I'm just really happy to be alive because I got the chance to watch the amazing drama ''Twinkling Watermelon". Each and every single thing of the drama was so beautiful that the cocktail of feelings seeped into my chest and my veins, filling me with warmth from the inside out. It's the best healing & comfort kdrama ever existed. Everything of the drama was so perfect. The casts, songs, soundtracks,storyline,acting... every single thing was beyond perfect and beautiful. I'm just really thankful to watch the beautiful creation.

TWINKLING WATERMELON is one of the best Kdramas of all time in every aspect. Well, this is my first time writing a review!! I've come across many beautiful dramas but this drama has my whole heart because it was so comforting. The way this drama portrayed each character and their emotions was just mind-blowing. From start to end, it got me on the edge of my seat, and the character development was just WOW. You will feel like you're a part of the drama where you giggle wholeheartedly, weep like a child, and feel sad and happy with every moment. I felt a mixture of emotions while watching this show but it felt comfortable, soothing, and warm inside. Kudos to the cast and crew for coming up with this beautiful drama. The screenplay and the narration of the story were just fantastic. Ryeoun (Eun-gyeol) carried the whole show to the next level with his natural and nuanced acting. He was soo cute in every way. I enjoyed Ryeon and Choi Hyun-Wook's screen time. This father-son chaotic duo made every episode funny and beautiful with their versatile acting. Choi Hyun-Wook (Ha Yi-chan) will be my favorite character of all time. He showed how to turn someone's shortcomings into something really beautiful with his outstanding delivery of emotions. I've never seen any of Shin Eun-soo (Cheong-ah) dramas, this is my first show and I was stunned to see her performance. Though she was deaf and dumb in the whole drama, her twinkling eyes spoke every emotion that can't be described with words. Whenever she smiles, you'll feel her joy, whenever she cries, you'll feel her sorrow and her silence will shatter your heart. Mother-son duo screen time will break and mend your heart at the same time for sure. The endearing love between Omma and appa, and Ajussi and ajumma will make your heart flutter. Seol In-ah's (Choi Se-kyung / On Eun-yoo) chemistry with Ryeoun was at top notch. Seol In-ah did a great job with her acting and showed that everyone has flaws and struggles in their life and that ending our life is not the only solution. Though the ending was bittersweet, it was the perfect ending that we all wanted. It ended with the note that everything happens for a reason, hold on there, and live your life to the fullest without pondering over the things.

🍉 WATERMELON SUGAR.... VIVA LA VIDA 🍉

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.

Such a Thrilling and exciting show to watch.. kept me Smiling all through. Although i would have wanted the show to continue 😕. Anyway kudos to everyone that contributed to this show.

I was really impressed with the way the show kept viewers in suspense. Also the storyline was really good not to mention the acting of characters. Especially seol In-ah who played se-kyung, she killed every role she played. She was really funny and could switch her mood when necessary. This show goes straight to third on my list for kdramas 2023. Hope to see more shows like this in the future.

Welldone everyone.👏

Oh My God, one of if not the best K Drama I have seen. Prepare for an emotional roller coaster. You are either laughing your heart out or tearing up . It's amazing journey. Be prepared to laugh your heart out and be teary eyed the next moment just to get that warm sensation in your heart. Must Watch.... Very few series have the ability to take you on a journey where you get deeply invested in all the characters and each the parallel stories. .... We were up till 4:00 am for 2 night in a row to binge watch the entire series ...... Highly recommend it as your first K drama or 20th. It's a journey you won't forget.

Anyone else feel like K-dramas these days don't give us the closure we used to love? It seems like we rarely get a whole episode showing the characters living happily and all the details of how their lives turn out. Instead, recent dramas seem to rush the ending, only giving us a few minutes or a quick glimpse of the future. I miss that satisfying, heartwarming conclusion where everything comes together perfectly. Though overall the show was really good, the way you fall deeply in love with the characters!! Seriously wanted a longer ending episode, so I could get a clear look of the ending!!!!

Firstly,I'm gonna say that despite of all the negatives that I'll write below,I still think that this drama is interesting and have some of very lovable cast. But it simply doesn't deserve such a hype and high rating.

This show brought kdrama-known slow motion to whole another level. It isn't even slow motion anymore,they drag some slow motion scenes to the point that you think that your screen is frozen,cause it probably is.

The deaf girl,second FL has very sad and lonely life,but why does she have to be so rude and cocky to apsolutely everyone exept the boy she has a crush on? How can she fall in love with the person she never had any contact with but isn't capable to develope any kind of normal emotion with anybody else? I get why she is angry but she is way to rude and I simply don't see why would such a bubbly guy like Yi chan fall for her.

And the last but not least,I just hate when kdrama writers put some average looking girl and present her as a epitome of beauty and every boy in every school is in love with her and I'm like,why? Are they blind? But I still try to like her but I CAN'T cause she has a role of some forced arrogant beauty. And not to mention her haircut;OMG.

This movie makes me cry and makes me want to best friend and the plot is the great . The actors are really great on acting. Their chemistry is the best and I know the love in their characters is simple and they are really lovely. I think the one who love the story like go back to the past .And their love stories are really wonderful, cute, amazing and innocent 😇 Each character is nice and their connection is very watchful for me. I don't reach the ending because I don't end this.i want to tell more but my English skill is not good .Last, I want to say , if you're a drama lover you should watch this .I perfectly recommend.

I watched this months ago and still think about this masterpiece. The story, the actors -everything was perfect for me. I think this will be hard to beat on my personal list of favorites.

Also a big compliment to the actors, you could see how much fun they had getting completely into the roles. Choi Hyun-wook in particular always seemed to act as if he didn't take himself too seriously and was simply doing it with heart and sympathy.

The musical performance in this series is also well-received and, with the talent of the actors, exceeds all expectations of the audience.

Only love for this top tier kdrama!!
