I wondered what people found about this series to rate it so high. After a few episodes, I've become a bit of a fan of this cast. The time travel thing is a bit of an overused plot, but the story remains cute and unique.

Only one person in this family can hear and speak, the brother and parents are deaf. He loves playing the guitar and making music but feels guilty towards his father who wants him to become a doctor. “Ottokee?” Please the father or follow his dream?
He has a flashback to the past and finds himself in 1995, he meets his young parents and wants to avoid an accident to change the future of his family for the better, but he must be very careful, otherwise there could be big problems, such as the possibility of not being born .

I really liked the guy Ha Eun Gyeol (actor Ryeoun), a great guy between Park Bo Gum and Cha Eun Woo.

Interesting to see sign language. I also appreciated all characters and the beautiful songs.
For those who don't know, the singer of Spine9 is a singer of iKon.

PS: I was wondering what the watermelon was in the title and I discovered that it refers to Frida Kahlo's last painting, called "Viva la Vida" which had watermelons as its subject.

I knew D.O. mainly as a singer, but he is also a good actor.
The plot leads his character, a champion of justice, to act as a "phenomenon" in an exaggerated way.
He and his team are in danger but always work separately?!?
The big bad boss played his cards face up, it would have been simple to touch a button on the phone and record conversations. So they would have had a thousand evidences.
Why are the fair people so stupid?
This point makes me lower my rating.
The last 2 episodes were honestly the worst two, where I got the most anger.
He knows full well the power of the old bastard and how cruel and unrepentant he can be for his actions.
I wondered why he was so naive as to come up with these brilliant plans where he gets beaten up, people close to him get involved and he is blackmailed, he has the evidence and has it stolen and last but not least, he has to ask for help from that "change flag" of a prosecutor.

All's well that ends well. Fortunately in the end he redeems himself and we understand that he wasn't that stupid.

PS: His team's hacker, Lee Si Eon, had the same role as in the "Player" series.

Friendship & Love

First part so-so, from the 14th episode it became more interesting.
However, the plot isn't exactly the best. What did I like about this series? When the main woman lead breaks up with her boyfriend and manages to make him feel some of the suffering she felt. I also liked Namkoong Min's acting, at the beginning of the 25th episode when he prepares the speech for his father-in-law, it's an amazing moment. I follow this actor because he is a great performer.
Some tears around the 22nd episode.
No word for the cousin and his relationships with women, especially with the poor coach. He too, after being left, became a better man and made amends.

Singular PLOT

The first day I watched 7 out of 10 episodes! Interesting plot that fascinated me.
This company would produce meat without killing animals and at the same time design organs for transplants. Many people will be against the Blood Free boss and others will want to get all the secrets to live forever. She will need bodyguards to protect her and find out who is behind the blackmail and threats.
Cyber ​​attacks, accidents, deaths, "moles", transplants...
Small negative note, they could have avoided the ambush of the detour. Even a child would have understood that it was a trap.
I appreciated the acting of Ju Ji Hoon (the bodyguard Woo Chae Woon) who I had already seen in "Jirisan" and "Hyena", the revolutionary idea of ​​this project and all the pros and cons of the technological world that helps but can also be very fragile to attacks.
I recommend seeing this series for people who are not sensitive to blood.

Who can we trust?

The plot is more complicate than a simple kidnapping of a child.
How far a mother can go and what she can do for her son?
Different motivations pushed people to help this mother. Success and popularity to the producer, justice to the policeman, saving lifes for the mother.
This search is too long. Names, events, stalkers, suspects, kidnapping, history of domestic violence, ... I was confused. There are many culprits... it'is frustrating to see but I wanted to see this poor child go back to his mother! By the 9th episode I'm exhausted from waiting.
Finally into 13th episodes you will be able to find out who "the guilty" is.

Revenge

Vigilantes! A team of victims who search to make justice.
Scary cases that make your skin crawl. I watched only to see the revenge.
Be prepared to see everything and more: beatings, bullying, violence against vulnerable people, exploitation, prostitution, the distribution of pornographic films, illegal organ harvesting, injustice, corruption... They didn't leave anything out.
Creepy, you're heart-heavy in the end. The only glimmer of light, this guy.
From 8th episodes I wanted a mythics revenge for this psyco and there wasn't.
In 9th, Swat and prosecutor are "chicken".
In 14th, I would have something to say! He want to fight towards a team of killers all alone? What a shitty idea!
He take the driver who get an accident where his friend were seriously injured and stay to watch him and let the villain escape and then chase him in a taxi? In the "prison" he beats everyone, there is no one left when he goes out into the square, then all at once they all arrive together nice perky and surround him? He follows the villain to the pier with the prosecutor on his heels but strangely he has time to drift with the car, beat, chase the bad one and only then help arrives. Timing that doesn't add up.

Trust him or not?

I must confess that I droop this series after 3rd episode but trusting in the high rating I decided to continue watching it.
The plot is aberrant and shocking but also sad and emotional, especially last 2 episodes.
This guy who is the son of a serial killer and married to a police detective, was wanted and followed as a murderer.
She discovers clues about her husband. Who is actually the father of her daughter? She has tough time and must choose a side between law and family.
So many surprises.
The OST was good with also orchestral piece.
I don't think I'll ever see it twice.

This series seemed too long to me, it was so heavy to reach the end that I put it aside several times.

Two twins who switch roles

The "city student" (Mi Rae) and the "country girl" (Mi Ji). The "country girl" goes to Seoul and works in the office, while her sister and the other go to the countryside and have to take care of their grandmother and work to grow strawberries.
Apparently similar but very different in their approach to life, each one tries to do her best and discover new things about each other.
What can we see in this series?
Mobbing at work. A beautiful relationship between granddaughter and grandmother, a difficult and different relationship between daughters and mother... A stepmother who takes care of her deceased husband's son and gives up her relationship with her own family for him.
The suffering of this good hearted boy who always thinks he is a burden and does not want to be pitied. Sacrifice, when he discovers he is losing his hearing and he breaks up with the person he loves for her own well.
The sad story of this old woman who helps her childhood friend and lives a lonely life full of memories.
Full of emotions. I cried like a waterfall.

I like Park Jin Young as a member of GOT7, but also as an actor. His characters are usually those of a thoughtful person, who works hard and is always a little lonely, sad and unlucky. I like his calmness.
The female lead, Park Bo Young, is also a talented girl. She played two different roles, which is even more complicated.

Good beginning but then...

I wonder if there had been another female protagonist if the series would have been different and better.
I don't particularly like the actress Park Shin Hye because in every series I've seen (for example The Heirs or Memories of Alhambra), in which she stars, she weighs down the story. Monothematic in her sadness, with this idiotic look with his mouth ajar, in the long run she makes me nervous.
On the other hand, I liked Park Hyung Sik. Always elegant and gentleman, I especially like to remember the scene in which he looks in the mirror.
While the scenes in which they pretend to be drunk I found them not very credible.
But I was a super fan of the couple of their friends. So cute.

Who despises... buys

Wow, he really makes you want him. It took a while for him to grant her an interview, then he continued to complicate her life, making her tutor his niece, rejecting her drafts... Oh, what a pain in the neck! But as the saying goes, he who despises, buys.
When he finally gets to know her, he begins to appreciate her and become jealous of her. She's brilliant, talkative, good at her job... He becomes attentive to her needs, responds to her messages,...
Her friend's couple with his cousin is a beautiful pairing, but it's a shame she's pushing things a bit too far and acting like a bitch (he's already madly in love with her, there was no need to reject her kindness).
All those theories of conquest she dispenses to her friend, and she finds herself in this situation?
If her friend finds herself spending the end of the year at home alone, it's entirely her fault. Just like Sheng Shuyi who, during the romantic moment when he was declaring his love, loudly expressed a desire for work. He rightly backed away, thinking she was putting work before love and therefore before him. These two couples make it clear that being in love isn't enough if there's no right timing to be on the same level at the same time.
The niece who insists on approaching her teacher, no way! She seems like a stalker. Always asking him to have dinner together... how boring. But when she takes a step back and distances herself a bit, it becomes much more pleasant.
At work, I like these 3 young Musketeers who fight for their ideas and don't want to submit to the old guard.
How hard it is to keep all these secrets hidden! Her friend's honesty is questionable. He doesn't even tell her who he's seeing, he doesn't share anything with her, and he keeps everything a secret, yet he gives her advice about her love life!
She breaks up with him and then interviews the second suitor. What a brilliant idea (joke)! She says she cares about him and then always puts work first. I thought he'd never be able to forgive her, but apparently their love has overcome even the obstacle of misunderstanding.

brain lessons

It's a semi-comedy series with animated figurines where you can also learn something about body signals and brain functions.
I love this team formed by a neurologist and a detective. One the opposite of the other.
The collaboration begins after this brain doctor is suspended from work because of this detective. So he thinks it's a good idea to find revenge by working side by side with him.
The cases are interesting and not at all predictable.
I only asked myself one thing: why does everyone trust and let themselves be manipulated by this psychopath? Even the genius doctor falls into this trap. Too much self-confidence or too tempting a challenge?
The detective's laugh... unique.
