Best Drama I have seen till now
This is literally the best drama I have ever seen and mind you I have seen many 😉Now I should tell you why, because it has everything you need in a drama. It has cute moments, frustrating moments, moments that makes laugh so hard that the person next to says that you have gone mad 😂and it has that emotional moments which will tear you up 🥺
I loved that-:
1) They had a good storyline even though it is time travelling which I don't personally like but this made it good
2) Good backstory for each main character though less for supporting characters but it's ok
3) The music is main why I started to watch this (second is the funny clips though which fully convinced me 😜) I felt that when the ML said in first ep that music is the only legal drug there it is for me too and I always wanted to learn guitar
4) Last but not the least the new things which we get to learn from this I know there are more movies about sign language and about deaf people but I always like to learn new lessons they teach us.
It was a perfect drama for me as it ticks all my boxes which I seek when I see a drama.

Heartwarming Parent-Child Story with a brief of romance and friendship in it
Heartwarming!What will you expect when it comes to stories telling about parents and their children?
Of course, because it was the purest kind among loves hence they will bring you a very heartwarming ambience from start to finish!
Light and Fluffy romance!
Deaf people who can't say anything can deliver you that soft fluffy atmosphere into their romance story. They wrapped up the story so beautifully, from how they know each other, till the confession, they're so fluffy and it's sooo cuutee to watch!
Heol this is what today's generation should look at to because they are goals of everything! Parent goals, friend goals, couple goals, sibling goals, and also dream goals!
After watching this, I really want to meet my parent and thanking them for what they've done for me. I want to appreciate them, hug them, and love them more than before.
Thank you Twinkling Watermelon! All people just should watch this masterpiece asap!

One of the greatest feel-good time travelling stories for me
First of all, Director Son Jung-Hyun, Writer Jin Soo-wan and all the staff, actors and actresses did a very great job here. There are too many time travel stories but Twinkling Watermelon--by far-- is the best for me. All the elements were there and are well delivered. I really can't find any fault here but I sort of wished that Yi-Chan's fate would be changed. Well, the result is much more "realistic." The series is telling us that not all of our fate can be changed/altered.Also, special mention to Shin Eun-Soo who was able to deliver all emotions perfectly while portraying a mute person.

This story left a scar on my heart and I'm thankful for it.
Watched it two times already <3I am genuinely in love with this drama, it's in my TOP3 best TV series I've ever watched.
At first I thought that the story is going to be more focused on CODA-parents relationship (i did not read the synopsis so I was unaware of the time travel trope at first lol) but I liked the story that I was given just as much. This drama played with my emotions so much, I would giggle durning one scene and get teary-eyed on the next one. I believe all the actors did their best to execute their roles. I personally can't point out any significant issue, loved the story, execution, pace, actors, music.
[tiny spoiler]
My only little wish would be to know if the world EungGyeol orginally came from moved on without him or stopped existing but I guess it is an unavoidable concern of anyone who get themselves invested in a 'time-travel' story so I try not to think about it.

VIVA LA VIDA!!!
Ikik there were many new kdramas of this year that are amazing. but this isn't just a k drama. while watching it, it wasn't just the subtitles i read, but also the emotions i could relate to. the story isn't all about romance and 'I like it. it's balanced.in perfect words, explains how life of genz is.childrens tned to misunderstand thier parents and parents tend to do the same. but then in the end parents wants it for thier children's good and children's wishes for thier parents happiness too.
there were many and many things portrayed veryy well in this drama. absolutely twinkling. the cast, ost, acting, story. everything was just perfect. i like how the writers tried to make the time travel realistic by not changing yi Chan's deafness.other than this too their were many things that were thought of beautifully.
everyday i had thoughts of what had happen next. the amount of attached i was to this drama is just... unexplainable. it's just beautifully portrayed and amazingly written. a comfort drama indeed.
A drama I'd like to rewatch again.

Absolute Banger of a series. And I know bangers!
WATCH IT, WATCH IT, WATCH ITRoller coaster of emotions dude. Like this show will have you so invested you wont even know what time it is. You will not care if you have work or school the next day you just want to keep watching but then at the same time ITS SO GOOD that you dont want to keep watching because you dont want it to end.
Like bro after every episode I go to the kitchen and get water and I'll be doing sign language on my way to the kitchen. I don't even know If that even makes sense but I'll be so hype I just be moving my hands.
Do yourself a favor and watch the show. First 2 episodes might have you confused for a bit like me but after that its really nice.

Absolute cinema!
After years of putting off Twinkling Watermelon, I finally gathered the courage to watch it. And now I understand why I kept delaying it: I was afraid it would be over too soon.I watched the entire drama in just 2 days, and now I'm completely emotionally devastated. It's the kind of drama that makes you cry from beginning to end, but not necessarily because it's sad. It's not that overwhelming kind of sadness that leaves you sobbing for hours. It's something different. You feel like you're experiencing everything alongside the characters. You know exactly where it hurts when the story touches a wound, and somehow, you feel it too. It's the kind of crying that actually feels good, even when your heart is aching.
As someone who absolutely loves time-travel stories, I loved the way they approached the concept here. Instead of sending just one person back in time, they sent two, allowing each of them to fix what needed fixing, help their parents, and, perhaps most importantly, work through their own struggles along the way. I loved how the story wasn't just about changing the past, but also about understanding the people who came before us and realizing that they had their own dreams, fears, and unfinished stories.
I've always had deaf people in my life, so seeing Cheong-ah's journey was especially meaningful to me. Watching her go from being a girl who was constantly humiliated and mistreated, even within her own family, to becoming such a strong and independent woman was incredibly moving.
Seeing her finally find her voice, stand up for herself, and eventually take on an important position in the company was so satisfying. And the revelation that her father had always cared about her but had never known about the abuse she was suffering? Oh my God. That absolutely broke me. There is something particularly heartbreaking about realizing that someone loved you all along but simply had no idea how much you were hurting.
But beyond the romance and the time-travel elements, I think what will stay with me the longest is the friendship. It's one of those stories about friendship that keeps lingering in your mind long after you've finished watching. The kind that makes you think about the people who come into your life, the memories you create together, and how some connections can change everything.
And, of course, the love story was beautiful. Not just romantic love, but the different forms of love explored throughout the drama: between parents and children, friends, and the people who choose to stay by our side. It all comes together in such a heartfelt way.
I do have one little complaint, though. I honestly wish we had gotten more answers about Eun-yoo's life in 2023. Her future felt a little too open-ended, and I would have loved to know more about what happened to her after everything. But well... I'll try to make peace with that.
All in all, Twinkling Watermelon was such a beautiful experience. A story about family, friendship, love, second chances, and the importance of understanding the people around us.
I finished it in 48 hours, but I have a feeling I'll be thinking about these characters for a very long time.

Best Kdrama Ever!!!?
This was definitely worth watching. The story was amazing and I never got bored! Though it was a really sensitive topic (personal reasons) I enjoyed watching this series even tho I probably cried nonstop the last 4 episodes.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I Immediately fell in love with the characters too! It was so natural. We need more Kdramas like this. You don't need romance to enjoy a series.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was very touching and I hope you'll try and watch it too!
xx your best friend ;)

It really is like a cool watermelon that you eat on a scorching day
I actually know this drama by chances after seeing some review of them in twitters. I think it’s one of my best decisions that i actually decided to watch this. I actually had a rough time from this past months after my grandmother passed away and with many other problems in my workspace. But this drama cheered me up so much and gave me the strength i need in my weakest state and made me look forward to monday-tuesday that usually not my favorite days.If you guys searching for a comforting and heartfelt drama with so much meaning in them then this drama is the one for you. It makes you reminisce your youth and give you reasons not to give up on your dreams! As expected from our genius screenwriter Jin Soowan-nim!! (She also wrote Kill Me Heal Me, The Moon that Embraces the Sun, and Chicago Typewriter).
And not to forget the casts!!! Oh my god the casts are insane, they really ate and left no crumbs 💅. I really love the chemistry between the four of them!! How chaotic but inspiring Yi Chan and Eun Gyeol, how lovely and pure Cheong Ah and Yi Chan, how silly but reliable Eun Gyeol and Eun Yoo, and our underated pair Cheong Ah and Eun Yoo that need more screentime because both of them look so cute together. And i really love how chaotic Watermelon Sugar are!!. I really am going to need a very very long time to move on from all of them and this beautiful drama. I really look forward to these actors and actresses future projects because all of them are just that good in acting. Thank you and love you Twinkling Watermelon!!! 🍉♥️💚🖤

little joy, a pinch of pain, and a WHOLE LOT of comfort ?
you know that deep, lingering longing you feel after finishing a really good kdrama? that's exactly what i'm feeling now, after ages! the characters, their connections – it all just got to me so fast.i'm not gonna lie, part of me is still annoyed that eungyeol couldn't stop the accident. watching someone as bright as leechan, who was his grandma's hope and the light of everyone's world, go through such pain is just heartbreaking.
but even with all that, this show's going to stick with me. it's like a glimpse into the youth i never got to experience.

Viva La Vida!!!
One of the best kdrama I've ever watched!! To be honest I was getting fed up with the recent kdramas and I was so into Cdramas. This is the kdrama I've watched after a loooong time. It's really amazing. The plot is amazing and the cast is amazing everything is perfect. Way more beyond the typical kdrama plot. Fiction but still feels amazing. gives good life lessons. You must watch it and it's not boring at all. It's a mixture of all the emotions. Happy, sad, angry, confuse, excite, disappointment, guilt, regret everything is there. Best Drama (Kdrama) I've watched in 2023!!Was this review helpful to you?
