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?
Too bad the scale is only upto 10, it deserves 20!
My goodness, oh was I underestimating this masterpiece!To be honest, I was actually scared it won't live up to all the hype it has, and oh boy was I wrong! I hesitated for so long to dive in because when a show gets this much love across the community, you instinctively prepare yourself for disappointment. But from the very start, all my doubts completely melted away. Twinkling Watermelon isn't just good—it is easily one of the best dramas I've ever watched. It lives up to ALL of its hype to the absolute fullest!!
What makes it so special is how effortlessly it blends coming-of-age youth, music, time travel, and deep family connections without ever losing its magic. The story pulls you in immediately, balancing laugh-out-loud comedy with moments that will make you genuinely tear up. The whole vibe of youth, passion, chasing dreams, and forming unforgettable bonds hit me right in the chest. It gives you this incredible warm, nostalgic feeling that stays with you long after an episode ends.
The cast absolutely blew me away with their performances. Ryeoun, Choi Hyun-wook, Seol In-ah, and Shin Eun-soo had the kind of genuine, electric chemistry that you rarely get to see on screen. Their interactions felt so real, their personal struggles so relatable, and their joy so completely contagious. You can tell every actor poured their heart into these characters. On top of that, the soundtrack is insanely good—every single song hits at the exact right moment to give you goosebumps or pull at your heartstrings.
If you are currently sitting on the fence or worried that people are overhyping it, please do yourself a favor and just watch it. It is funny, emotional, beautiful, and an absolute 10/10 masterpiece that I will be rewatching for years to come!

A touching, uplifting drama that strikes the right chord between laughter and tears.
Twinkling Watermelon is a heartwarming fantasy youth drama about a musically gifted boy who accidentally time-travels to the 1990s and meets his teenage father. It beautifully blends comedy, music, and heartfelt family moments, with standout performances from Ryeoun, Choi Hyun-wook, and Seol In-ah. The story balances youthful romance with deeper themes of family, dreams, and reconciliation, making it both fun and emotional.Was this review helpful to you?

A mix between Reply 1988 and 25 21
This drama was the kind of drama that makes you feel like you are part of the friends group portrayed in the show 🥹🥹🥹 The feeling this drama gave me was similar to the feeling I had while watching Reply 1988, which is my favorite drama! The found family aspect is tearjerkingly heartwarming, the romance is tender, pure and innocent, and the fantasy is whimsical and well-thought-through ☺️In general I really like dramas set in the past, especially the 80s and 90s.
I also really loved the setting of the present in Hongdae ☺️ It made me reminisce about my trip there in summer 2024 😍😍😍
I really loved all the characters. Fake Se-Gyeong was a bit annoying sometimes at the beginning but it quickly changed to the better.
I also really liked how it ended. I had some alternative ideas in my head for how it could have ended but I really like this ending. It’s rare for me to like the actual ending of a show more than what I have envisioned 😂😂😂
The only thing that was missing was that I wished that Fake Se-Gyeong had re-opened her grandfather’s music shop Viva La Musica ☺️☺️☺️ That would have been the perfect ending… But nonetheless it was still great!
I also really liked how Cheong-Ah could resolve her relationship with her father 🥹 That was so heartwarming!
in general I laughed and cried a lot in this drama! Ie-chan and Cheong-Ah were hands down my favorite characters 😍😍😍 Their love story was just so sweet and tender 🥹🥹🥹
As for the romance between Eun-gyeol and fake Se-Gyeong I wasn’t as invested tbh 😅😅😅 But it was still nice!
And ofc since this is a music drama, the OST was amazing! Some of the sound design reminded me of American movies from the 90s and early 2000s as well. But it worked well with this drama ☺️😍😍
I can only recommend this drama!

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?

Everything is a 10/10
Everything is a 10/10I love how serious and cute at the same time the actors are. Love te leads chemistry and the plot line. It has been a while since I could honestly say I love this show. The music is fascinating and I am in love with the color palette of this movie. The director better not break my herat and give a sad endinv because then it will be more sad than the 2521 ending. The leands and secon leads have chemistrywith each other and I really hope we will get two happy endings................................................................................

Family love
BAGUSSSSS BANGETTTT!! aku suka banget drama korea yang bertema keluarga. Alur ceritanya juga bagus dan sangat mudah dimengerti, walaupun ada beberapa scene yang terulang. Menceritakan tentang kisah hidup orang tuanya yang tuli di masa lalu. Perasaanku menonton ini sangat campur aduk dan sangat emosional. Ending yang sangat memuaskan dan tidak bertele-tele. Menceritakan betapa sayangnya orang tua terhadap anaknya. Sangat cocok ditonton diwaktu senggang untuk refreshing, walaupun ceritanya menyangkut tentang masa lalu tapi alur ceritanya tetap fresh.Was this review helpful to you?
