Easily climbed up my list of favourite dramas <3

I finished watching it just before writing this and tho I do want to write a better review, I can't seem to get my mind together and write what I feel at the moment (but I'm still writing it because I do not want to lose this feeling that I have after completing the drama, so idk if this will be helpful in any way).

it's a drama I love very much. I didn't think it'd make its way to my heart when I didn't even finish watching it. but it did, wonderfully at that. and I don't regret watching it even while I've got tons of things to study 😭🥲.

the cast was amazing, they portrayed their role so well and the emotions were conveyed through the screen perfectly for me. especially when (spoilers) Eun Gyeol (Ryeoun) is fighting his dad in the earlier ep about wanting to join a band. damn, I could feel how frustrated and sad he must've been living a suffocated life where he has to be perfect so that people won't point fingers at his parents(this is my pov so you might disagree). also, Yoon Chung Ah's role was played perfectly by Shin Eun Soo. and of course Choi Hyun Wook and Seol in ah slayed. especially Seol in ah because she had to act out 2 people who look so similar yet they're so different when it comes to their personalities.

I wanted to see more of the ending when they go back to 2023 after resolving whatever they could've done in 1995. plus I wanted to see a short glimpse of Chung Ah finally going on that trip with her dad (I swear it made me so happy when I saw her dad use sign language to ask her about the trip, it was so lovely. he finally realised his mistakes then). Eun Gyeol might've not been able to change his father's destiny but at least he changed his mother's. and doing that changed his lifestyle in 2023 as well. whatever is meant to happen will happen so I'm just satisfied with how his mom's life changed. Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope that yi chan's accident didn't happen but I soon had to accept the fact that you cannot change everything that has happened back in the past. those ripple effects would've eventually led to a bigger effect later on in 2023 when he returned. I think it was a suitable ending in this case :')

that's it. Thank you to the people who made twinkling watermelon, they made the best decision ever! (now someone please gimme my own Ha Eun gyeol)
