Twinkling Watermelon

반짝이는 워터멜론 ‧ Drama ‧ 2023
If you enjoyed Twinkling Watermelon, you might want to check out Cheer Up! Both dramas have that youthful, heartwarming vibe, and they use music not just as a background element, but as a core part of the characters' journeys. Twinkling Watermelon dives into emotional storytelling with band performances that tug at your heart, while Cheer Up brings the same energy through its cheer squad and musical moments that feel just as moving. The coming-of-age feels, friendship dynamics, and emotional growth in both are really similar, just in different settings. Highly recommended if you're into music-themed K-dramas with heart!

A lot of feelings are portrayed, and while Twinkling Watermelon might be more light-hearted, the characters carry a lot of burdens and both of the dramas are focused on different relationships and appropriate for all ages.

twinkling watemelon is more dramatic and affectioning while back to the 90's is more comedic.

the common points are:
son from the future is going back to the 90's era to discover that he meets his young version of father and mother having all the same age

the father of male lead is within a musical band and the male lead will be his best friend, joining him in playing guitar and composing songs.

the male lead will be in a mission to make his father and mother ending up together after meeting a girl who is the female lead having a crush for his father.

the male lead will be working on changing the fate of these characters without feeling he will be falling for the female lead.

the phone booth is the mean to time travel between two different periods of time

the female lead is too a musician and will be ended falling for the male lead in the end of the trip.

Both are musical series. Both feature a secret father-son relationship. Both revolve around music and are beautiful and delightful. Of course, *When the Devil Calls Your Name* has a darker theme.

"Hit the Top" and "Twinkling Watermelon" have the same time travel concept where the son/father goes in the past/future where they meet each other. It has 90s vibes, family, friendship and the male leads are similar for being passionate about music.

Ryeoun seems playing similar character, like dealing with deaf character and musical aspiration. His interaction with his mom at this drama reminds me of his interaction with his dad in Twinkling Watermelon. His interaction with the other Jinwoo reminds me of his interaction with Yoon Chungah. But the most important is Ryeoun always have great chemistry with his fellow casts either male or female. However, Namib, along with Twinkling Watermelon and 18 Again shows Ryeoun's strong bromance chemistry with his fellow male actor
