How can a drama be so funny yet so heartbreaking at the same time?
The plot was something new, yet simple and refreshing. It wasn't too complex like 'A Time Called You' (another time travel masterpiece) which I liked because I was never confused about what was going on or who was who. The drama was so beautifully-written that it was a great experience and it really felt like I was in the drama myself, experiencing what the characters were. As for the hearing loss part, the ending was perfect. As heartbreaking as I was during the climax portions, it was bittersweet to see how the writer wrapped up Ha Yi-Chan's story.The casting was absolutely perfect, especially the younger cast who I was immensely attached to during the whole drama. The friendship between the band members and the girls was so natural, realistic and flowed so well. Of course the bromance or father-son bond is something I have to mention because it had me laughing so much- "I like girls!" lmaoooo. The character development of Cheong-Ah was a perfect pace- I loved seeing her character slowly break out of the shell both society and her family made for her. Seeing her accept and love herself, embracing who she is and learning that being deaf is not a flaw, was so lovely to watch that I genuinely cried at multiple points in the drama (also because of Ryeoun's amazing portrayal of a lonely and struggling son).
The only issue in my opinion is that I believe Eun-Gyeol and Eun-Yu recognised that they're both from 2023 too late for my liking. I think it would've been great if they'd had a least one or two episodes where Eun-Yu was just Eun-Yu and not Se-Kyeong. I was expecting them to "recognise" each other and help each other with their personal missions but it seemed more like an individual fight instead- which is in no way a negative but just not the route I was expecting.
Overall, this drama has everything you could want for in a drama: plot, acting, music, casting, ending. EVERYTHING was perfect.

A nostalgic journey with the true essence of youth.
Freshly out of my drama slump, I sat down to watch this back from where I left it and was so deeply moved by the drama, finding it heartwarming and relatable. I got into it soo deep that couldn't stop myself [11eps back to back><] until I finished this piece of a wonderful story. It really is necessary to praise the well-developed characters, particularly the father-son relationship and their bromance. All the actors' performances were also laudable, adding depth to the characters. The drama's nostalgic setting of 1995, with its use of old technology and references to the past, created a sense of authenticity. Specially the pager and the FAX machine. I would have never known how cool were FAX machines until now. All of it was so fascinating to know and learn about. The incorporation of the sign language and deaf characters and their portrayal was so well executed, normalizing their presence. The drama's soundtrack was just another level. So beautiful and pleasantly infused into the story. It really felt like the music perfectly captured the emotions of the story and left a lasting impression. No matter if you understand the lyrics or not, you will feel the song within yourself and the emotions it expresses. This drama really made me realise how beautiful is youth and how much of my youth I missed by not living that time of my life to the fullest. This drama really made me laugh and cry(both happy and sad tears) This drama will stay in my heart for a while. Definitely gonna go into my best drama of all time list. No wonder this drama was trending for such a long time even after it had finished airing.Overall, I highly recommend this drama for its engaging storyline, strong performances, beautiful soundtrack, and heartwarming themes.

A DRAMA I REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE SO....
Really didn't expect a coming-of-age drama to be so good. I really liked Shin Eunsoo's and Choi Hyunwook's chemistry more than anything else. I feel like this series did a good job in its representation of CODAs and deaf people. I really love how elegant and comforting this show was, this really taught me about how beautiful of a language sl is and this actually inspired me to learn the alphabets in sign language. So, Thank you Twinkling Watermelon for making my Mondays and Tuesdays worthwhile 🩵💛Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
WHAT EVEN WAS THIS SHOW??
The best show, in my opinion. This was just amazing. I can't even explain how great of a show and story it was.Every character looked so freaking perfect in their roles. I fell in love with everyone, atleast twice. This was so perfectly made. Everyone's acting and their character development throughout the show, was amazing. I loved loved loved teen Yi Chan. The way he was potrayed is fantastic. All the emotional scenes were done so perfectly right. They really brought out all the emotions, especially the last episodes. The way the story unfolded, and how we were always kept on our toes, was another amazing thing. I think words don't justify the beauty that this show was.
THE ACTING OMG THE ACTING. FANNNNNNNNTAAAAAAAAAASTIIIIIIIICCCCCCCC
I've got one complaint though—I wish this show was longer😭😭
I wish we could see more of their lives in the future. But I think that is just me being greedy😂
We all have the power now to imagine what would have happened and that's pretty cool too. I just hope they keep making more shows like this.
And big love to you, Yi Chan's grandma😭😭

Time Travel at its best.
This drama was simply amazing. The story was so well framed it was a delight to watch. The actors were all on point. The young boy time travels to ensure his parents do well in life and the story couldn’t be written any better. The innocent romance, the thrilling adventure and the period difference was all very cool. It makes you want to. experience such time travel. It definitely makes you sob at many places so make sure to keep your hand kerchief intact in hand because this is gonna be one of a kind experience.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
MGGO; never give up and u will win <3
Sometimes all it takes is to keep pushing!!!
loved the story, characters, and how the characters developed. I wish we heard the father speak in the future since we know now that he isn't mute, or why he decided to not speak. Was also wondering how the band members didn't recognize the ML but it makes sense its been 28 years since then. But at least we know the father recognized him. The open ending wasn't really open which I loved.
Each episode had something like laughter, lessons, realization, and friendship. The actors brought the characters to life. Among everything thing else, it is a reminder that the moment we start using our disadvantages to our advantage everything will be possible.

Excelente drama pero...
Me parece increíble la historia, me encantó como abordaron todo el tema de las personas sordas, y la importancia de comunicarse con los demás.Creo que el problema de la mayoría de los k dramas es siempre el final, se siente apresurado, yo hubiera alargado el drama 2 episodios más o simplemente no alargar tanto el asunto de la banda, siento que se centraron mucho en eso y se no profundizó tanto la trama en otros personajes.
El último episodio me pareció como incompleto, me hubiera encantado ver más la relación de Cheong ah y lee chan jóvenes.
Pero es un excelente drama, las actores están increíbles acá, la música y la historia, todo 10/10
Es de esos dramas que te puedes volver a ver y no te aburres. Lo amé. Ahora veo por que fue uno de los mejores dramas del 2023.
Súper recomendado.

one the best drama of the year
I just think about how the director managed to convey this mix of good feelings, I think about what my mother's adolescence was like and what it would be like if I had the opportunity to see it, I was very moved and I would see it again. I would recommend this drama a thousand times. brilliant actors, incredible script and ots 10/10.I got positively involved with the characters' stories and it was really beautiful to follow their developments and outcomes. I wouldn't change the ending, I think it ended in the best way and with everyone in their right places.

Youth Family Time Slip Drama
exceeded what I expected the story to be. I thought it would be a family Melo drama with lots of suffering, but nope I was completely wrong, this was a fun youth band drama.The actors really embodied their characters really well and it really suits them.
The OSTs are all compliment the whole story really well.
Overall, it's a really fun drama when you thought that the 1st eps is a bit saddening.
A must watch to all K-drama lovers or maybe a start to someone new to k-drama world.

Best Drama I’ve ever seen
Going into this I was expecting a good show, but ended up watching an absolute masterpiece, the storyline is coherent and engaging, the cast is great, everything in the show is amazing, I cannot find a single negative about it, with one exception; time travel is never fully and throughly explained both in the show and outside of it (with additional info from the directors or even members of the cast), at first I was greatly bothered by this inconsistency, however after some time in dawned on me that it was their plan all along to leave it to our imagination, it’s up to us to determine whether it was the old shop owner or god himself who caused the whole ordeal which even after finishing a show leaves you with a “mystery” to solve on your own.To sum up, Twinkling Watermelon is definitely worth watching, it’s probably the best drama I’ve ever watched and I would honestly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
