Twinkling Watermelon (2023)

Ryeoun's characters Hong Siwoo and Ha Eungyeol have so much similarities
1. Both characters are 18 years old
2. Both characters meet their 18 years old fathers and befriends them
3. Before the meeting their 18 years old, both characters are loners in their school
4. Both characters were bullied in school
5. Both characters and their fathers are sharing similar talents and interests

They're both 2023 dramas that feature leads who travel back in time from 2023, and get involved in the lives of their younger parents or relatives.

Full of love, music, second chances with a touch of love. Both are healing shows and drops of water in an oasis this year.

They both have highschool vibe and the pure friendship, also both of them are in the same period of time.

The both dramas are about time travel. In the the drama A TIME CALLED YOU the female lead travels back in time with the help of the music player. In the drama TWINKLING WATERMELON the kain male lead travels back in time and performs a music band. The dramas are connected by music too.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

- Both dramas have time travel for a daughter or a son to meet his or her parents in the past
- Both dramas are romantic dramas full of youth

It also has time travelling and preventing accident & changing fate as its theme, also includs music & band life.

The male lead in the drama silent becomes deaf as he ages and connot speak so the female lead learns sign language to understand him. In twinkling watermelon the kain lead handles his family who is deaf but suddenly travels back in time and teaches female lead to speak in sign language.

Both have time travel. Go back couple focus on romance but twinkling watermelon focus on bromance.

Both dramas try to portray the past very accurately in the choice of hair ,costume and music.

Both the drama have family and friendship as its core topic.
Both of them have the best leads and the best romance -yichan and Cheong ha in TW
Deok sun and Jung hwan in Reply 1988 .
Ofcourse in TW we do have a happy ending for this romance

In "Twinkling Watermelon " the main male character accidentally travels in time and meets his parents.
In "Can You Deliver Time? 2002" the main female character accidentally travels through time and meets her parents.
Both dramas have love stories set in the past.

The similarities :Both of them have a child of the main lead going to the past where the parents are in high school.both the parent characters r bad in studying and they help them with their studies.
Both of the future child ends up falling in love when they're in the past .both r cute and heart warming stories .both the child lead tries to make their parents fall in love with each other .

The differences: in TW the main lead is a guy whereas in idwtbfwu it's a girl lead.
In TW there's two characters that's travelling into the past making their love story a bit easier .since they can still be with each other in the future .
Whereas in idwtbfwu the girl lead falls in love with someone in the past .that makes their love story a bit more complicated .

I finished idwtbfwu and it's a beautiful story . totally recommend it

1) the mc here goes back to time and is trying to prevent the accident of his dad ( same kind of thrill)
2) smart mc+ good chemistry
3) school romance
4) group of friends
