amazing cast and great, memorable characters. from mokha, to kiho, to ranjoo to woohak to their father. the pilot was the best part of the show. with this and startup - the writer really has a knack for it. although it's not an all time fav, the quotes and life lessons in this drama fr. it will stick with me. and eun bin is tremendously talented. what's that voice and singing range! wow!
the endings of episodes are like each one better than the last! how do I wait a whole week omg!! and we are only 4 eps in too, seems like a whole lot has happened already!
totally agree with your analysis. many still don't consider squid game as a kdrama! for general public kdrama means silly rom coms and they use that to diss kdramas as a whole too but that's a whole different topic. even I started watching kdramas because of true beauty. never had interest in kdramas before but randomly clicked on TB once and got addicted to this world haha. it's objectively not very good compared to many others listed but definitely a good intro to kdramaworld. so was Business proposal. and I agree My Demon would be one too, but it gives me more drama, soap opera vibes than rom com ifykwim. ppl tend to enjoy the TB's & BP's more it seems.
The Change in Ryeoun's acting is like heaven and earth. The last time I watched him was in Adult Trainee, from…
even compared to his last project secret romantic guesthouse, he seems to have improved a lot. it's amazing when you know that drama aired this year too!
omg what a start!! and THE VISUALS???? Jesus. stellar cast, the leads chemistry is already so good. heck even the cinematography and ost is so good. and damn loving KYJ in a power girl role. lessgooo
Thoughts on the ending (compiled after lots of tears, a few days worth of processing my sadness over the end of…
this. you have written everything I had to say about the final epi and everything I wanted out of it. their family bonding irrespective of their less then perfect life and finances were one of the best parts of the show. they really should have shown a resolution scene where EG tells his father what he really wants. or maybe he did, or Yi Chan did say to go back and tell his father how he no longer wants to be his trophy. maybe this understanding transferred to the future yi chan too.
also the timeline in more ways than one felt unfamiliar and just detached from the rest of the show. made me wonder would EG really consider this his life? wouldn't it feel even more alien to him? his parents. that life where he was never a part of. and none of his previous life and growing up were a part of.
also someone somehow pls give me more CheongChan scenes plsss! or better yet let hyun wook and eun soo be main leads in another drama 😠they were perfect together
anyway, viva la vida! long live Twinkling Watermelon and Watermelon Sugar. thanks for making me laugh and cry each episode. Thanks for making me sob through an ep, but leave me with a smile in the end. there's a definite sweet feeling of nostalgia associated with this drama. it's full of life. makes you wanna enjoy your youth too. and shine.
Absolutely enjoyed this drama; going to miss it a lot. However, a few loose ends stood out to me like:1. Wasn't…
yes to all these. the writer just stopped an inch away from perfection. she could have easily tied up these loose threads instead of going for an all perfect/hea ending.
One of my all time favs!!! I know I'll come back to this drama, especially ChoengChan scenes again.A lot of times that too.
The drama with the ending was almost perfect. Almost. It could have been more meaningful imo if he went back to his older life. Not a big fan of this all good all perfect chaebol life he went back too. I believe their old life was really good and beautiful too. You don't need to be ultra rich to show that you are successful. minor flaws tho.
but honestly crazy crazy miss to not show CheongAh meeting Yi Chan after the accident. like she promised she would be there for him the way he was for her. One scene was all it needed to make it 10/10. heck, we don't even know what happened to cheong ah after her father's announce of going abroad and not coming back! they just dropped that and left us hanging geez. Their meeting would have been AMAZING. like imagine that scene where she would be the one person there who gets it. it would have been powerful and heartbreaking. I hope they had shot i and cut down due to time constraint or something and will release it! If somebody is listening, jaebal.
honestly, i even cried with yesterday's ep with yichan's confession like i don't even cry often but that scene…
same I cried yesterday too. that confession was the best one i have seen. their love is the sweetest thing in the world to witness. it warms your heart fr. but today's epi took the cake for making me an emotional wreckðŸ˜
and eun bin is tremendously talented. what's that voice and singing range! wow!
