very heartwarming and emotional! given how comedic this drama and its characters are, i didn't expect to cry so much watching it.

everyone's acting was amazing, especially (but not limited to) the main four actors. there is so much emotion conveyed even without the use of words, and i think they're amazing for that!!! all the characters, future and past, the friend group, the grandma, even the students of snail boarding house—everyone was so loveable.

i also love this story's approach to portraying deaf people (and those who use sign language). it's not often that this sort of representation is there, and i think twinkling watermelon did it so beautifully and thoughtfully.

i also think the core message of this was so important. not just for eungyeol and eunyoo, but for the viewers as well. sometimes, things are inevitable no matter how hard you try. it is important we don't carry guilt for things out of our hands, and learn to embrace the future. this drama touched my heart ❤️

the soundtrack was amazing!!! as expected for a show cented around a band and i-chan/eungyeol's love for music. i was also delightfully surprised to see ikon's ju-ne show up here, haha. the guitarist grandpa's comment about speaking to an instrument and it responding back to you will stick with me forever 🥺

all in all, a very solid drama. it will give you laughs and tears and everything in between 💕
