Refreshing slice of life.
Have been watching k-dramas which turned to be k-traumas so was a bit skeptical about it and also because of an overused trope but gave it go and boy was I hooked!After Crash Course in Romance I honestly didn't find anything that caught my interest. But this! It exceeded my expectations in the most beautiful way. Its refreshing, soothing, heartfelt, crisp and all kinds of feelings rolled into one.
The chemistry between Yichan, Chung ah and Eun gyeol is some kind of wonderful and you feel their hapiness, frustration, sadness and humor with them. The character development of almost all the characters is layered thoughtfully.
The interactions between Eun gyeol and Yi Chan leave you in splits while those between Chung ah and Eun gyeol leave you feeling happy.
Its extremely well written, has good music which was needed here, the acting is excellent.
You feel the emotions of each and every actor here. It has high rewatch value, atleast for me and it certainly has become my comfort drama.
It is worth the watch and will certainly leave you feeling happy and calm. Do give it a watch, you won't regret. This is the kind of a drama that everyone can get something from that matters to self. It indeed sparkles.

My favourite drama this year
I loved the light-hearted but deep start to the drama, but what kept me invested was how it showed such a beautiful relationship between the good and bad things in life.When I first started watching this, I didn't know what to expect, I just liked the title and decided to watch it - no trailer no reading of description. And I'm glad I did.
This show gave me emotional trauma, but it also healed me. I've not felt such strong emotions for a show in a while and this was a roller coaster. I feel like it definitively hits differently if you can relate to any of the experiences shown throughout, but even if not I think this can be enjoyable for anyone.

One of the best dramas of the year
This drama was one that I looked forward to seeing the most this year. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The last dramas that made me feel like this were probably 2521 and Alchemy of Souls. All the actors did an amazing performance and this was an overall perfect drama. I liked how it highlighted something that we don’t see a lot in kdramas and in tv in general, being deaf. They also made sure that it was known that being deaf is not a burden and you can still have a normal life like anyone else while being deaf. I really hope to see Seol Inah and Ryeun in another project, their chemistry was too good.

Best show of 2023, yes you read that right!
I have never ever left a review until now, and I've been a fan of kdramas for at least a good 7 years now... but this drama though definitely had me gripped from start to finish and never let me get bored of it. It's got a bit of everything- fantasy, comedy, slice of life, music... the best romances and relationships.My favourite relationship, by far, was definitely that of EG and YC, father and son. Don't even get me started on the actors and actresses... I will say that I started watching it because I liked them in their previous shows (especially Seol In Ah!), but the plot, characters and 1995 storyline made me forget why I started because I loved the journey I went on with them. Don't get me wrong, I know it's not perfect - I still have some questions, but to be honest, life is all about interpretation! Just like the Time Master says...
A warm yet refreshing time travel drama, this is one not to miss. For lovers of Reply 1988, 25 21, My Perfect Stranger, 18 Again, The Best Hit, Hotel Del Luna and much more... I think I will continue to gush over this drama for all of time. Viva la vida!

twinkmelon changed lives (mine)
my number 1 drama of the year. twinkling watermelon delivers EVERYTHING: sadness, joy, empathy, laughs, and many other deep emotions. the cast is crazy, they all are such great actors and their chemistry was overflowing, literally. ive started watching this drama for inah and hyunwook but I ended up watching till the end for the WHOLE cast. i had never heard about eunsoo and ryeoun before, and they were awesome discoveries, they’re so talented!!!this show was both so heartbreaking and so heartwarming. it’s truly a comfort show to me and i am so sad that i have to let them go.
i loved everything: the youth representation, the romanceS, the comedy, the emotional scenes, the friendships, the development of the story, the characters’ dynamic.
this is simply a masterpiece.

Got me out of my 2.5 year of kdrama slump
I love a time travel kdrama and pair that with found family - PERFECTION.honestly after nearly 3 years of not being able to get a kdrama to keep me entertained until the end this had me hooked. I loved the friendship, the family dynamic and overall storyline.
The high school days felt so nostalgic and I wish I could go back in time and relive some of my days in school or even at age 18. I don't know what I would change but it'll be fun to remember what life was like back then.
Although the ending was super rushed that left me so many questions and some stuff was left unanswered or just ignored I still loved it.

Definitely a much watch!
Gotta totally agree that this drama was really good, as it brought out a different plot of going back to the past. The actors and actressess were totally slaying it. The drama gave the vibe of teenage youth and how some love doesnt always work out but theres always someon meant for you. The drama always kept me on my toes cause its different from the usual kdrama plotline, its a must watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Truly a Coming of Age Masterpiece.
Choi Hyun-Wook is one of those versatile actor who can with his sheer acting skills make a drama a masterpiece.What an emotional rollercoaster ride this drama gives us throughout each episodes..I laughed a lot ,envious of their musical group, cried a lot and sometimes those tears are not my tragic or sad moment but instead they are my happy moments..
I'm impressed by every cast's performances.Superb performances❤️..But Choi Hyun Wook excels in everything..He only with his expression can make you laugh like crazy and cake make you cry like crazy...(He will be the most demand actor in the upcoming future)..everything was balanced in this drama..
Comedy ,humour, thrilling scenes, mystery,family,friends, friends group, music band, school era, 2 pair of romances, Time travel everything is balanced in a way that never get you bored in any situation...What a writing and what a execution and what a performance..Truly a coming of age masterpiece.
First two episode started off amazingly that hooked you with this drama.You can feel your own self in Eunn Gyeol's character. But Time travel was basically an illogical to bring out but it's not about the theme time travel ...it's all about how they will show us and executed their plan perfectly..
Lastly , I'm missing those group moments where they just chilling around, pulling each other's legs and the nagging of grandmother, Han Yi Chang's comedy and humour ,the son-father relationship and the friends group...Hope will get to see Choi Hyun Wook' s next masterpiece just like this in the upcoming future..

This is Cinema
Wow. First off, wow. That is all I have to say. I have rewatched this at least 4 times already and wow. This is just amazing. This really speaks levels in the industry. Absolute cinema. I am baffled really. How can a show be this amazing... ? I'm at a lost for words when writing this even. Like. Holy cow. My favorite show of all time and my comfort show. How did it take 2 spots already ? Who knows...If you loved 18 Again, watch this. Personally, it blows it out of the park for me. Similar vibes to it but also different in their own ways really. Don't get me wrong, I loved 18 Again. Thank you for reading. I took about 7 minutes to write this. I was so in awe on my first watch and now I'm going onto my 5th rewatch. Have fun watching this ! Absolute masterpiece if I do say so myself.

um drama pra aplaudir de pé
Esse drama merece nota mil.A história é incrível, as músicas são maravilhosas, os atores amei cada um deles, não mudaria nada. indicarei pra o máximo de pessoas que puder porque esse drama precisa ser visto por todos. como amei cada momento. amei o romance, porém mais do que tudo eu amei como foi retratada a relação de pai e filho. por que esse drama não é apenas romance, ele é principalmente sobre família, sobre juventude, sobre as escolhas e eu amei comona relação de pai e filho foi desenvolvida

Masterpiece
THE BEST DRAMA EVER. I cried every single episode and the last one I cried from the beginning. And now I feel so empty, because I already miss them so much. I don't know what I am gonna do without them.The cast, acting, story, emotions everything was perfect .I laughed, I cried. It was just perfect. So proud of the actors
I watched so many dramas, but I never cried this much like watching this one. It was funny, sad and it had everything. My fav drama for real. MASTERPIECE. I will never move on from this.
