the message contained in the drama and its story
The storyline is good, it runs smoothly and the story is fun but has deep meaning. I like their friendship. Even though the first episode was a bit boring, it started to get fun in the middle. I like K-dramas.starting from the story, their friendship and also the music they make in their band I like stories about romance and friendship contained in the kdramaThis is one of the best kdrama I have ever watched. I really like the band's songs which sound cool.I also like the cool actors VIVA LA VIDA🍉🍉🍉Was this review helpful to you?

I LITERALLY LOVE THIS SHOW ?
Okay so, I started this show thinking "I don't want to get my hopes too high, this show might be overrated." Oh boy was I wrong. This show is as good as people say it is. Especially to me this series captures everything I would want in a k drama. Cute love stories, family oriented, high school life, a 90's throwback , coming of age, a fun band, and a happy ending. First I have to give credit to all the actors and writers, the acting was amazing, they all did a fantastic job on portraying the characters,and in my personal opinion this show was well written. Seeing how Ha Eun Gyeol grows in the story, helping his mom and dad have a great future and, his own romance were just a chef's kiss. When we saw his younger self at the start with his loving family, but him having to carry being the only non deaf person in his family, having him feel as if he didn't fit in, was a beautiful starting point for the story to grow on as the show continued. Him traveling to the past and his whole main mission being to make a positive outcome for his entire family is a really good character motivation, and made me as the veiwer want to root for him in the story. I really loved how by the end when he gose to the the new future, the main point is that is family is doing better in the way of having a more successful career's, but still being deaf. I like how that says to the audience that him going back in time was to create a better future for his family by healing old scars, not by undoing them being disabled. Saying something that you don't see a lot in k drams, shinig light on the disabled and CODA community is a unique experience for this show. Then seeing Ha I Chan change throughout the story and, being committed to his band and,Yun Cheong A was a great watch. How in the original timeline his accident that caused him to be deaf happening in the second timeline as well, but he triumphs through it both times, felt like adding a good amount of depth and realness to his charater. In addition Yun Cheong A's story was also very touching, where at the start of the story she couldn't stand up for herself, because she was born deaf and was in a abusive household but, by the end she learned sign language and stood her ground. With the help of Ha Eun Gyeol healing herself with finding a way to express herself through learning sign language and, her family wounds, was all a amazing part of the to watch (she is my favorite character so I'm biased towards her). Now to talk about the romance, I really loved both love stories. Ha Eun Gyeol and On Eun Yu 's relationship was a bickering and love type of story. At the start she had her own plans and it conflicted with his plans, was a interesting thing watching unfold. By the end their emotions for each other bloomed into a teen love. Next Ha I Chan and Yun Cheong A's love was a absolutely adorable high school lovers story. I loved how Ha I Chan learned sign language so he could communicate with Yun Cheong A, and how cutely awkward they were was to die for. Both version's of their older selves were both a cute married couple,which I love to see (out of both couples they are objectivity my favorite). My last section is the band/friendship was heartwarming to watch. I absolutely loved the connection between the bandmates. It felt like a genuine high school friendship, and I enjoyed watching it. One of the best parts of the show, in my opinion is the friendship of Ha Eun Gyeol and Ha I Chan. Thier bound was a charming point of the show. As well as the bands relationship with the two girls was a fun thing to watch. On this topic the friendship of Yun Cheong A and On Eun Yu wassuper sweet. I loved how in genral how Yun Cheong A becameless of a wallflower throughout the show and grew more socially. In a final conclusion I just highly recommended this show if you want a good watch. This is my definition of a modern classic if I've seen one. I loved almost every aspect of this show, this is turly a one of a kind k drama. 🌟

A beautiful storytelling
I've dreaded to watch the last episode for a long time, because I knew exactly I'd cry my heart out. The story is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully emotional. Not only seeing, but feeling and being a part of the youth of their own parents - the time their life shined the most - makes your heart ache and your eyes open to thoughts and emotions you haven't felt before. The ending is absolutely soul-crushing, but also reminds us that some things are destined to happen. The lesson this story will tell you is, that we can shine most when both - good and bad - come together. That's the tragedy and beauty of life.Was this review helpful to you?

my pov for this drama
I just want to tell that if you love time travelling drama.. it's for you.. like me.. I was waiting for something Good.. for some time travelling thing.. in starting all the childhood story and then.. his struggle not to let them know know about his music love was heart touching and when he mat his younger version of father.. that time drama and all things directing it in a good direction for a great drama..as drama continues he got to know about his father and his struggles. it's a good point to show that our parents has a past to and we are not only one who's struggling here.. I love that part. the more drama went towards it's end the more it got complicated for me because 'I don't want to end it now' is what I felt and at the same time 'okay.. so you have to do this.. you can do this' was in my mind too.
the lessons they gave us through this drama.. form every episode.. is just great.. I learn from this drama is that.. somethings are unavoidable. it will happens no matter how hard you try to stop them.. the more you know the more you want to stop it.. so... better let it happens in more good ways.. less traumatic way..
and one thing for sure.. everything in this world happens has meaning behind it.. like his father stopped him to enter in the music industry because he suffered and don't want his child to felt the same pain.. he was being protective toward his child.. that's all.. and at the same point his child thought the his father is controlling him.. everyone have their own pov so.. if have any misunderstanding.. just talk with them and slove it out..
music of this drama was.. mind blowing.. the lyrics.. voice and all.. was so great.. even after it's over I can't let it out of me..
and the comedy they put in this drama was.. just at another level ...
so.. what I'm telling is.. I recommend this drama to everyone around me.. worth watching and even re-watching it was not a bad choice 🙃🙃🙃

Só tornou facilmente minha série favorita
O apego que senti com essa série não acontece com frequência comigo. A última vez que fiquei tão apaixonada por uma história assim foi quando assisti 2521, e isso me gerou alguns traumas (rs). Coração quentinho do começo ao fim, muitas mensagens bonitas, atores incríveis e cenas cativantes. Amei! Vale todo o hype e todo o tempo investido.A história da família é tão bonita e o final é de derreter qualquer coração. É legal pensarmos no quanto as vezes pensamos que conhecemos nossos pais quando na verdade existem diversos aspectos da história deles que não fazemos ideia.

The korean nostalgia dramas always slay
I started this drama because of choi hyun wook and the setting of the drama. this drama is set in 1995. and with various other dramas set in the this period which were really good sparked my interest! this drama differs as it doesn't only portray the 90's . its beepers , radio shows , music but also the question of life. the drama's tagline can be viva la vida which is uttered by the characters quite often. it means long live life! and that is so amazing . because we are always running behind something and forget to live. we see the characters in dilemma while deciding what to do with their life . essentially ha eun gyeol time travels to 1995 and tries to stop an accident but through this time travel he meets his parents when they were young and ends up seeing them in different life. he is CODA which makes him feel distant from his family sometimes. but he heals with the time travel. there is so much depth in story as we chung ah's character who starts enjoying life and communicating while meeting loved ones. this one is for the heartbroken 25 21 fans as in this drama we get two love stories though this drama can be sad at some point it is a must watch !!Was this review helpful to you?

Loved Loved
Kids will be kids…. I loved twinkling watermelon. It was a great drama drama that made me cry laugh and get angry. I was a little upset that he did try to stop his father’s accident, but his father ended up still deaf, but I did like the fact that he didn’t pity yourself because his son came and kind of changed his perspective on what happened to him. I do like the fact that the mother of the male lead did men her relationship with her father and the future did somehow change, so that was nice that the whole drama wasn’t for nothing.Was this review helpful to you?

I might collect pointers of my previous comments and write a better review tomorrow (said 8 months ago)this filled my days with sparkle when i needed it the most, thank you writernim for not creating another repetitive, i mean, thank you for creating a beautiful experience and remind me of the reason i love kdramas
It’s heartbreaking , I need to continue in a world without anymore watermelon sugar
This was like a healing medicine in my worst times this year, 16 days of a beautiful warm hug
I’m always disappointed in dramas I look forward to but I’m always pleasantly surprised by dramas I’m not looking forward to
Easily num1 drama of 2023 for me and will definitely be in my ult tops along with their characters
I would say the perfectness of it all, is too much
Their sadness and life made them who they were, eungyeol was so empathetic and in tune to people’s emotions cuz of his upbringing
Though yes, he suffered and carried too much burden but he grew into an amazing person
But then again, life sucks so might as well get a beautifully wrapped up drama, and yes I hate sad endings so give me all the rainbow sugar and twinkles of the world in my drama, happy happy happy
I’d like eungyeol to “remember” his new life, I’d also like to see how eunyo’s changed and I’d love to see those 28 years of growth and hard work
And I’d want to see their reunion
Yechan went to the same university, so I’d guess after highscool ended cheongah or even her dad, brought yechan to the same university
All in all, life’s a journey, everyone has their own and everyone has the same “weight”, my life isn’t harder than yours, it’s not a competition. Every hardship has the same equal effect and one must understand how others are going through the same
Burdening oneself with other’s hardships isn’t the answer but not acknowledging them is as bad
I'll add the rest as ep reviews

As refreshing as a watermelon on a hot day
I love this drama. The casting, storyline, and characters in this drama were perfect for me. It teaches many lessons overall. I loved Yi Chan and Cheong Ah's love, which was very innocent and pure. Every single person was a green flag in this drama. This drama may or may not be everyone's cup of tea. Highly recommend for everyone to watch. Many comedic moments throughout the drama. The ending was a little rushed, I wish to see more of Yi Chan and Cheong Ah's story. Their whole catchphrase, "Viva La Vida", is wholesome. Major found family trope. This drama got the hype it deserves. The OST "Shining" is one of my favourite OSTS of kdramas. Overall, a good drama to binge-watch, to have a good laugh, learn lessons and is very nostalgic. It'll make you miss your friends and will make you regret not enjoying your youth. When you watch some of the scenes, you feel like you're one of the members since it's very chaotic. Each episode is full of surprises, I never got bored watching it, so yeah. You will not regret watching it!Was this review helpful to you?
100% watch this if you havent
It’s been a while since I watched a serie that had me hooked. After finishing this series I noticed that there were some scenes or plot twists that shouldve been fairly obvious and easy to figure out but for some reason I could never manage to guess just what would happen next😂. I finished this serie in less than 2 days, I pulled an all nighter to finish but it was honestly worth it in the end. I started this serie because of an edit I saw on tiktok and I really didnt expect to like it this much. I’m definetly rewatching this soon.Was this review helpful to you?
