Wholesome family drama

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed "The Pork Cutlets." Initially, I decided to watch it because it only has two episodes, so I figured it wouldn't be a big time investment, especially if it ended up being disappointing (like many dramas these days). However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.

I'm a sucker for a healthy family drama, and this show delivered. The dynamic between the dad and his many sons, along with the lovely mom, was heartwarming and engaging. The surrounding community added an interesting layer to the story, making it even more enjoyable.

On top of that, I learned something new, which is always a bonus. For anyone looking for something short, sweet, and entertaining, I wholeheartedly recommend "The Pork Cutlets."

My love for this drama runs deep.

I loved this drama. You know those scenes in a drama that make you feel like you're intruding on a private moment? That's how I felt watching this. I haven't rooted for any other couple in dramaland more than the leads in Youth of May. Lee Do Hyun is phenomenal, and paired with Go Min Si, they become a powerhouse duo. The story was believable, and I was thoroughly invested the entire time. I would 100% wish the ending was different, but I can't be angry at this masterpiece. If you're looking for a drama with an '80s feel, a devoted hero, and a no-nonsense heroine who completely falls in love, this is your drama. But brace yourself for a wave of emotions.

A good watch

These days, it often feels like writers have enough story for six episodes but stretch it out to sixteen, leading to a lot of dragging. However, "Twinkling Watermelon" stands out because it delivers a genuinely good story with hardly any filler episodes. The narrative is well-written and sensible, avoiding unnecessary padding.

I respect that the show doesn't rely heavily on typical K-drama tropes. Every plot point is justified, making the story feel fresh and engaging. While there were moments when the acting and pacing were a bit off, the solid storyline more than makes up for these minor flaws.

If you enjoyed a drama like "Go Back Couple," you will definitely appreciate "Twinkling Watermelon." It captures a similar charm and emotional depth, making it a must-watch for fans of well-crafted dramas. The character development is strong, and the relationships feel authentic, adding to the overall enjoyment of the series.

Overall, "Twinkling Watermelon" is a refreshing change from the norm, offering a well-paced, meaningful story that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

Feeling Nostalgic?

This drama embodies everything I love about K-dramas. The characters and storyline are captivating, and the main leads delivered outstanding performances. The male lead convincingly portrayed his deep, unwavering love for Im Sol, making his emotions feel real and heartfelt. The second lead was charming and had just enough screen time to avoid the dreaded 'second lead syndrome' (where the second lead seems more deserving of the female lead than the first).

However, I was frustrated with the writers at times. Our female lead had some frustrating dialogue, which I attribute more to the script than to her acting. Despite this, would I watch it again? Absolutely.
