A Nostalgic Melody of Family, Music, and Second Chances
Twinkling Watermelon weaves a gentle, time-slipping tale about a CODA (child of deaf adults) teenager with a passion for music who unexpectedly travels back to 1995. As he forms bonds with his father in his youth and joins a retro band, the drama builds a charming blend of warmth, nostalgia, and emotional resonance. The story’s heart lies in its exploration of familial love, deferred dreams, and the unspoken chords that bind generations. While the music is central and often delightful, some viewers felt it didn’t always hit the right emotional note. Still, the cast’s sincerity and the show’s uplifting spirit make it an engaging watch for anyone drawn to quiet, soulful K-dramas.
