Yes I also think that it is the actors who make this serie on TOP level and the music..

Choi Hyun Wook is well on his way to becoming a superstar actor... he is really solid...

I agree that in the industry, there is a strong emphasis on being extremely thin, just like in the fashion world. Not only is this dangerous for celebrities, but it also sets unrealistic beauty standards for others. Anorexia is one of the most common, most dangerous, and most hidden yet controversial illnesses of our time. Added to this is plastic surgery, where by the age of 30, there are already standards and expectations imposed by the industry, sponsors, and agencies. I believe that celebrities suffer both mentally and physically because of this.

However, when writing something behind a screen, we should always ask ourselves if it were directed at us, would it hurt to read it? We should avoid making harsh and unfair criticisms.

After that, I started watching *Twinkling Watermelon*. What a wonderful series, one of the best! How Choi Hyun Wook plays in it!!! Extremely talented.

Both 1st and 2nd eps are very enjoyable to watch. The actors' performances are extremely dynamic and full of charm. Moon Ga Young has an extraordinary natural charm, and the male lead is also very interesting !—their duo works really well. The second couple also seems good. The first episode was really strong.

You can clearly see that in the female lead's imagination during the game, she envisions the male lead as he is now. That’s why changing the actor makes sense—it highlights the idea that he will become the man of her "dreams" a few years later.

The male lead is a "child at heart" and wants to prove that he is not. I think that's his complex (the actor was very well chosen for this role—excellent casting), and the music is great too. I hope the series will keep the same energy.
There is a good mix of Business Proposal, True Beauty, and What's Wrong with Secretary Kim.

I think there is a lot of innocence and youthful romantic ideology in the two characters. The boy, too, is a "child". In his eyes you can see that he is still a "child," just like in all wars, where this young generation sacrifices its life... (I could say that in the group of young people, all the characters were innocent and "children/youth") The war will change and freeze this innocence. It seems like the director wants to show this.

"I meant that... it's the opposite of the AS of romanticism, like CZY's profile."

I find her character interesting in the way it's written. However, she is the weakest in the cast in terms of acting. It might also be that the director has a rather naive vision of how she should interpret her character. I feel like she lacks charisma. That said, it's still enjoyable, and she has good chemistry with the male lead.
In the last two episodes especially, CZY is clearly above in terms of acting

i agree whit you

you are right! or it is two different directions: one tragedy - realism, the other hope and reconciliation

I have read it... It's sad, it's reality. I like the open ending without the epilogue, as it leaves room for hope—hope for reconciliation or not, even though the scars never truly fade. It gives hope to those who have survived the war. And I think the series will end this way, without the epilogue.

Otherwise, it only paints a harsh reality, without offering hope. Saying no to war is necessary, but can humanity ever truly stop it? History repeats itself, conflicts rise and fall, and peace remains fragile. Yet, if we abandon hope, what is left? Perhaps the answer in this serie is not in ending war entirely, but in ensuring that those who survive have a reason to believe in a better future.

About ending - Novel SPOILIER
.
.
I’m confused. I read the novel on Wattpad, and to be honest, I only read the ending so far. I plan to go back and start from the beginning. If it’s an adaptation (since there are several books with the same title), isn’t it a hopeful ending with an open conclusion and not a tragic one? Or did I misunderstand?

No, I don't think so. I meant Benjamin and Jiang Lin.

ML is really good , but the two SMLs almost steal the spotlight

for me his acting performance TOP's
1. Pachinko (2,1) (top)
2. Gangnam 1970 (top)
3. When The Stars Gossip (good)
4.Faith
5.City Hunter (good)
6.The Legend of the Blue Sea (very cool)
7.The King: Eternal Monarch (nice as a king)
.....
The Heirs ( his acting is good but the serie is poor)
Boys over Flowers ( he has the charisma, but the serie is poor same plot like The Heirs, end quite old )
Personal Taste ( quite old serie, but not bad)

First episode, and I really enjoy the actors and their chemistry. As for aspects other than the romance (the city, the context, the coincidences—it is definitely an imaginary tale) but it's still enjoyable to watch for now..

Dear Lilili - As long as these losses are not deducted from your bank account or mine, there is no reason to worry about their budget. They have sufficient resources, and neither you nor I are the producers of this series to assess the actual losses related to this production.

As for the elements mentioned in the blog, no tangible evidence supports them. Regarding the views, they range from 200,000 to 1 million per post. However, this means nothing in itself, as the number of views does not reflect the quality of a product in any way—especially since they can always be bought at will.

Giving constructive feedback is one thing, but why waste your energy on destruction when negative subjectif critiques, far from annihilating, often end up fueling success, while you could choose to elevate what deserves to be seen?
Writing 50 times that a work is bad can be seen as a quest for personal validation through collective opinion, attempting to impose an absolute truth. This approach reduces criticism to a mere tool for being heard, rather than encouraging genuine dialogue or nuanced reflection.

yes ! If you look at the ratings in detail on this site, you'll see that they are going up as the episodes progress, especially after episodes 7-8. So, once everyone understands the concept, it's all good.

It’s a great series , I think it’s 1 ) about very high expectations 2) certain objectives the film aimed for, but in reality, it offers something different 3) It mixes a lot of styles western and drama style , and the audience might not have connected with it from the first episode 4) A plot that unfolds slowly 5) and while being original in many aspects and conservative in others
