The action, the story, the ost are very good.
i think the last episode could have more time, show to us the resolution about Se Kyeong(she metting her
mother and stuff like that), but its not a problem, just me wanting to see a little more.

Two words... Youthful and Amazing.
I think I have found my favorite k-drama so far, it will most likely enter my top 5 and will stay there. I have so many things to say about Twinkling Watermelon, it combines precisely many of the things that I like and love to see in kdramas (music, youthful plots, romance, comedy, heart touching, lovely characters, time travel and more).This story so beautifully uses the element of music as an escape and as a form of genuine expression, it shows how difficult it is to grow up and how traumas and dysfunctional families affect our lives, it also portrays how beautiful it is to have a family and I'm not just talking about the one we are related to by blood. Likewise, it portrays youthful romance in such a charming way. Without a doubt, there are too many things that I highlight about this wonderful k-drama, which is worth watching, so I will mention a few:
- I loved the way the story is constructed, from the beginning it is intriguing and makes you want to continue watching chapters even if you need to sleep early, time traveling plot has caught my attention lately and I thought its execution was perfect in Twinkling Watermelon.
- I found the story very moving, it made me put myself in the shoes of all the characters, in the past and present. It made me cry so many times and also think about so many things, especially about my parents life.
- Each character is necessary and adds to the story, I loved the relationship of the boys in the band and I loved each one of them, seeing their interactions and how with the small intervention of Eun Gyeol they managed to build such a beautiful friendship and brotherhood made me want have friends like them.
- The comedy is so good and gives it a special touch. It made me laugh even when I had just cried because something touching had happened.
- I found the romance between the two couples cute, without being rushed and just how love arises in adolescence. (It also made me cry wishing someone loved me in such a way).
- YiChan's character is so cool, lovely, and funny and with Eun Gyeol, his dearly son, they make the perfect duo. I definitely love both of them.
I could go on saying many more things, but my final opinion is that this drama is very heart touching, with a well-constructed story, with characters very well created and executed by the actors exceptionally (I applaud the cast), and without a doubt with many lessons. In life there are many things that are out of our control and no matter how much we try to avoid them, they will happen, but we can always take advantage and overcome adversity, youth is a charming and very painful stage but those friends that we make genuinely and the family we created it can make it easier. I would recommend this drama without hesitation. I loved it from beginning to end and if I see her again I know I will feel the same. (Although I would have liked to see a little more of the new future and how things happened, especially Eunyu's future). No matter what, in my opinion it's a solid 10.

THE BEST YOUTH DRAMA EVER!!!
This was definitely one of the best youth dramas I've watched. It made me laugh so hard, cry so much, warmed up my heart and brought me so much comfort. This had the best squad, family & the most precious couples!!I loved the way they wrapped up the story. They showed how a person can make their life twinkle so brightly despite the hardships we face. With our passion, efforts & along with our loved ones we can overcome anything. This whole drama and the characters were such an inspiration.
I fell in love with every character and all the actors did an amazing job. The casting was literally PERFECTION!! Ryeoun did a flawless job as Ha Eungyeol, Hyunwook was the perfect casting for Yichan, he just made me fall hard for Yichan so bad, Eunsoo nailed the role of Cheongah & won over everyone even without talking at all, she did a great job portraying such a hard character & In Ah also did so well with acting 2 different characters though I felt like it could've been a bit better
The story did have flaws from here and there but regardless of that it was such an enjoyable drama. If you watch it without complicating it too much, anyone would definitely enjoy it because it just brings you so much joy. You can simply have fun watching it though the last eps were so painful and made me cry a whole river but the ending so good that it felt like all that pain was worth it âĄ
DEFINITELY ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE DRAMAS!!!!

Melhor dorama de 2023!
Tentando superar essa obra de arte chamada "Melancia Cintilante" atĂ© hoje sem sucesso!Que dorama encantador, fechou 2023 com chave de ouro e entregou tudo: ComĂ©dia, romance, drama, amizade, fantasia⊠Foi realmente muito prazeroso e divertido acompanhar Eun Gyeol, Yi Chan e os demais personagens e a sua juventude mais que brilhante. Fiquei impressionada com o desenvolvimento da trama e dos relacionamentos entre os personagens e com a sensibilidade do dorama ao abordar a deficiĂȘncia auditiva e a linguagem de sinais, nĂŁo apenas como uma ferramenta, mas como parte integrante da narrativa.
E os atores me impressionaram muito (principalmente os protagonistas) por precisarem aprender linguagem de sinais, a cantar, tocar instrumentos, tudo enquanto atuavam transmitindo tanta verdade e naturalidade para a tela. Eu saà apaixonada pelos intérpretes do Eun Gyeol e do Yi Chan.
Enfim, definitivamente foi o melhor dorama que eu assisti em 2023, me emocionou, me fez rir e me cativou do inĂcio ao fim com uma histĂłria e personagens que se permitiram brilhar lindamente.
"VocĂȘ nunca pode recuperar sua juventude. VocĂȘ precisa se soltar e se divertir um pouco aqui e ali. Farei tudo o que puder. Vou fazer tudo o que vai fazer a minha vida brilhar".
OBS: SĂł nĂŁo dei nota 10 para a histĂłria porque eu senti que alguns pontos da narrativa ficaram meio jogados ou foram passados muito rapidamente por cima, sinto que o dorama precisava de mais tempo para trazer algumas resoluçÔes de forma mais satisfatĂłria, mas esse realmente foi o meu Ășnico problema.

THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA OF ALL TIMEâŠAT LEAST FOR ME.
Twinkling Watermelon will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride. A perfect blend of romance, comedy, and drama. One moment youâre laughing, then youâre bawling your eyes out a few minutes later, then youâll find yourself smiling from ear to ear as you feel butterflies in your stomach. Itâs very well written from start to finishâtruly a masterpiece.Saying that the cast did their job very well is an understatement like youâll literally be blown out of your mind. All of them did a perfect portrayal of their characters especially the four main leadsâRyoeun, Seol In Ah, Choi Yun Wook, and Shin Eun Soo.
Ryoeun showcased his versatility in acting. He never failed to deliver, be it comedy, drama, or romance, he nailed them all. Seol In Ahâs character here might be frustrating to some as she was getting in the way of the CheongChan ship, but she did very well especially as her character was like an icebreaker to the 1995 time slip era. She really excels in romantic-comedy dramas. Choi Yun Wookâs acting here could catapult him to a rising star status, if not already. Itâs like youâre feeling all his characterâs emotions first-hand with his acting, especially in his tear-jerking scenes. Meanwhile, Shin Eun Soo might have the least screen time out of the main leads, but boy, oh boy, those facial expressions were the best. She roughly had no dialogues because her character was deaf and couldnât speak properly, and all she had were voiceovers of her thoughts. But her eyes tell a thousand words. I think she is the most impressive in this drama.
This drama got me hooked from the first episode, and up until the very last second of the finale. For me, there were no dull or boring moments that you would want to skip. Not to mention all the cliffhangers every episode, it would only make you look forward to the next episode.
The romance here may be a slow burn but it made the story a whole lot more exciting for me as the moment when the leads were finally together, it was sweeter and more heartfelt.
The best parts for me were the endless banter of our Ahjumma-Ahjussi couple, the CheongChan sweet interactions, the Watermelon Sugar band friendship moments, and our Best Grandma scenes. Everything was perfect.
With regards to the ending, it kind of felt like it needed one more episode to explain some things but I guess that was how they wanted the drama to wrap up as they seemed to add an element of surprise for the ending scenes. They kept things to viewersâ creative imagination. Nevertheless, it didnât make it less impressive for me. All I can say is that everyone should watch this god-tier drama and enjoy it as much as we did.
Story: 100/10
Acting/Cast: 200/10
Music: 100/10
Rewatch value: 100/10
Overall: 1000/10
Disclaimer: I'm a sucker for RomComs and my Top 10 were all that so I may be a bit biased here. So for non-romcom fans, take this with a grain of salt.
VIVA LA VIDA!!

ALMOST perfect but too good not to have a 10/10
I really enjoyed this drama for many reasons. Whilst I think their portrayal of deaf people could have been better (e.g. usually deaf people still make sounds and especially someone that lost their hearing later in life could still speak on occasion) I do agree they went with the most respectful route. Had they tried to imitate the way deaf people speak, I feel that it may have come across as offensive as the actors are not actually deaf.I also think the ending was rushed. I was excited when it was mentioned in ep 14 that they would be returning to 2023 soon becuase i thought that would mean we would get at least a full episode of when they're thrown back into their new timeline. But alas, we got maybe 20 minutes where they rushed going through how the world looks now. What I think could have made this new timeline so much more impactful is if they showed a little memory flash of Eun Gyeol's new memories from this new timeline so he knew what had changed.
The ending was just very open and I would have preferred for it to have come together more clearly.
That being said, this was amazing. The characters, their struggles, their relationships... It was so special and I cried a lot in the last ep. And because of that, I can't not give it a 10/10.

I have a few doubts..
Starting off with saying, TV SHOWS CAN NEVER GET BETTER THAN TWINKLING WATERMELON âš đThis show was like a breath of frest air, definitely added to the list of my top 5 favourite TV shows ever
We could have never gotten a better ending than this and i thank the actors, directors, writers for healing me <3
Now the reason I am writing this review is to ask something,
Wait did they explain where and why cheong ah's mother was sent away when she was a child and why this tutor was here in her place instead? Am I stupid?
Also, if now that eun gyeol had changed yi chan and cheong ah's future and now that they are rich, who did eungyeol learn the guitar from? And did eungyeol ever meet Mr Viva as a child in the changed future? Because they are rich in the new future, they would never have had to move into that shitty basement apartment and eungyeol would have never met the son of that landlady, and if he wasn't bullied by him, how did he meet Mr Viva and learn the guitar from him as a child??
They really did not explain so many things lol but I love the show anyway
VIVA LA VIDA!! LONG LIVE LIFE <33

An amazing drama from first episode to last episode!
A Total Masterpiece!I'm not describing the story cause I'm not good at writing review, just wanna share my feelings after finishing it.
I fell in love with Ryeoun after seeing his acting, he's so charming and I was already familiar with Choi Hyunwook and Shin Eunsoo so it's not a surprise for me that they were also perfect.
I'm happy with the ending but deep down inside I wish there was more of their interaction shown in the present. But A drama can't go on forever as I wish haha! đâ€ïž Thanks to everyone who contributed in this drama and obviously the actors and actresses for their amazing acting!
