An amazing drama from first episode to last episode!

A Total Masterpiece!

I'm not describing the story cause I'm not good at writing review, just wanna share my feelings after finishing it.
I fell in love with Ryeoun after seeing his acting, he's so charming and I was already familiar with Choi Hyunwook and Shin Eunsoo so it's not a surprise for me that they were also perfect.
I'm happy with the ending but deep down inside I wish there was more of their interaction shown in the present. But A drama can't go on forever as I wish haha! πŸ’œβ€οΈ Thanks to everyone who contributed in this drama and obviously the actors and actresses for their amazing acting!

Great humor but sth is missing

I love the little pre-opening scene for each episode. It's cute and special. I enjoy watching the show, it made me laugh almost at every episode, even the kidnapping scene is so funny.

I guess I can relate to the jokes better since I understand the language. i do realize jokes can lose its humor when translated since thats what happened to me when I watch other BL too

I really enjoy them as couple, although we only get to see their lovey dovey scenes in last episode

I don't really enjoy overall story as it's quite draggy. Like, all they need is just to communicate. Also, they don't really make my heart flutter when I watched them, for whatever reason. For this reason, I actually take some time to finish the show, when usually I tend to binge

I can't find what exactly is missing but sth is just not quite there.

Although, oevrall its a easy to watch, lighthearted show. Good for some laughs and just relaxacton

I have a few doubts..

Starting off with saying, TV SHOWS CAN NEVER GET BETTER THAN TWINKLING WATERMELON ✨ πŸ‰
This show was like a breath of frest air, definitely added to the list of my top 5 favourite TV shows ever
We could have never gotten a better ending than this and i thank the actors, directors, writers for healing me <3

Now the reason I am writing this review is to ask something,
Wait did they explain where and why cheong ah's mother was sent away when she was a child and why this tutor was here in her place instead? Am I stupid?
Also, if now that eun gyeol had changed yi chan and cheong ah's future and now that they are rich, who did eungyeol learn the guitar from? And did eungyeol ever meet Mr Viva as a child in the changed future? Because they are rich in the new future, they would never have had to move into that shitty basement apartment and eungyeol would have never met the son of that landlady, and if he wasn't bullied by him, how did he meet Mr Viva and learn the guitar from him as a child??

They really did not explain so many things lol but I love the show anyway
VIVA LA VIDA!! LONG LIVE LIFE <33

Milk & honey, the combination that can never go wrong.

From production, casting, storyline, and even music, nothing is disappointing except the fact that this series has come to an end. Watching this was like feeling a breeze of warm and cold while drinking milk with honey, remembering when I used to do the same in my grandparent's house. Watching this series has brought comfort in a way I can't explain. This series has taught that everyone has the right to feel wronged as in a way we all have been wronged. This gives the vibe of a dark rainy day as well as ice cream in sea, the ratio of the happiness and sadness done right in a very comforting way. I can't even explain why I like this series, all I can say is I just do.

Is in my top 4 of best drama's in 2023..

Let me start with a big compliment for the cast of this drama!! Almost everything was perfect.
I didn’t think I would love this so much but starting with episode 1 I was already hooked to this drama. Made some long nights πŸ˜‰
Zhou Ye, I liked her acting here much so more than Back from the brink, my heart and emotions went sometimes all over the place, you could feel the hurt and the disappointments. the last episode, omg, her acting, that was really amazing and I have rewatched that part, a few times. Hope to see many more drama’s of her.

Wang Xing Yue, this guy can act, the first time i saw him in a drama it was the one and only. And I was already amazed by his acting, and he is still so young (21 years). In this drama, he didn’t disappoint me, he was even much better than expected. the parts that he let her know how he feels about her and the rejections, the jealous scenes. I will definitely keep track of him with the coming dramas.
I liked the chemistry between the leads, every scene they had to together was a gift to watch them…

Zhang Yi Jie, never seen him in one the drama’s that I have watched before. But I liked his acting in this drama and will check his other ones.

The story, I liked.... the end?? If it would have had 10 extra minutes, I think that the end would have been perfect… it is not a sad ending, but it would have been nice, if you could have seen her face at the end when she said his name…
Will rewatch this for sure! I highly recommend.

Heartwarming Parent-Child Story with a brief of romance and friendship in it

Heartwarming!
What will you expect when it comes to stories telling about parents and their children?
Of course, because it was the purest kind among loves hence they will bring you a very heartwarming ambience from start to finish!

Light and Fluffy romance!
Deaf people who can't say anything can deliver you that soft fluffy atmosphere into their romance story. They wrapped up the story so beautifully, from how they know each other, till the confession, they're so fluffy and it's sooo cuutee to watch!

Heol this is what today's generation should look at to because they are goals of everything! Parent goals, friend goals, couple goals, sibling goals, and also dream goals!

After watching this, I really want to meet my parent and thanking them for what they've done for me. I want to appreciate them, hug them, and love them more than before.

Thank you Twinkling Watermelon! All people just should watch this masterpiece asap!

Love triangle hell

Nothing can be more infuriating than a series that was great losing its potential due to a long drawn out love triangle, and also a 16 episode run time instead of a 12 episode run time. While I love Seo Dal mi, Nam do san and Han Ji pyeong all as characters, some of the way that the story has been handled was extremely unsatisfying.

I also believe there should have been more about Seo/Won in jaw in the story- the parts of the female lead making up with her sister were probably the most compelling in the show. I also feel like she should have been given a larger screen time.

I would have liked to see the series end with Han Ji pyeong moving on from the female lead, but it doesn’t.

The story is decent, but I don’t feel it’s the masterpiece that everyone has made it out to be. At least two episodes worth of material could have been shortened.

Im soooo Confused???

Okay so I watched this drama for 1 reason only & of course that reason was bc of Ahn Hyo-seop's beautiful face! I dont nothing bout an original so I cant compare- maybe it wouldve helped me be able to follow the story bc I have no idea what the heck was going on? I think she was able to time travel after listening to a tape inside a walkman and land in another chicks body just bc they looked alike??? Okay so I can somewhat follow that but then they threw in that he also time traveled back into time into the boys body as well??? But they never showed him ever time traveling back??? Somehow he knew it would send her back so he mails the walkman to her in hopes she would go back in time and stop the murders from occurring so they all can live in the future- Han Jun-hee, Koo Yeon-jun, & Si-heon, Min-Ju, & In-gyu...Of course changing the course of the past changes the courses and lives in the future so I get that so how come in the end there was only Jun-hee & Si-heon??? Did the plane crash really happened that took Yeon-Juns life??? My conclusion, I think? is that Yeon-Jun never existed in Jun-hee's future since her entire life wiped away? It wouldve kinda came together more if at the end if Si-heon & Jun-hee introduced themselves on the bus & it took him back to his memory of when he saw her as a little girl when she told yelled her name to him & told him to remember the next time he saw her...I think alot of extra stories & scenes got thrown into this drama that made the story so difficult to follow when it couldve been made clearer by leaving alot of them out. I guess the story is way beyond my intelligence but I do have to admit, none of it took away from Ahn hyo-seop's handsomeness & I totally enjoyed watching him! That was the very best thing bout this drama, hands down!

Bromance, BL, Mystery, Suspense

I like the part where the thriller of the mystery from the beginning and it gain a lot of viewers. Acting skills are perfect. Music background good as suspense to create tension. But ending is so sad which would he takes off the gloves and the ending is very bad he goes on the run. Causing Ken to be left alone again. I pity Din sister no one cares for her as her eyes are blindfolded and hands are being tie up. Ending could have been better.

This ending cause a lot of fans unhappy and we demand season 2; since Din had changed his face, fingerprints and vocal before he can change it again maybe back to Din? Or someone else. Since Lue is being wanted/ fingerprints belongs to Lue not Din.

If there is season 2 which have a happy ending fans will watch and even gain more fans.

Chasing the thriller/suspense, mystery is something good to began with but an unhappy ending causing hurt.

If anyone making petition for Season 2 "Chains of Heart" drama message me.

Will come here again if there is further updates.

Twinkling watermelon ✨? : One of the best in 2023

I started watching the drama because of a reel in Instagram and I'm really happy that I proceeded to watch it. Twinkling watermelon βœ¨πŸ‰ is one of the best of 2023.
Story was really moving. I wanted more of Ha yi Chan and Chaung Ah, but whatever we got it was the best. It has humor, tears romance and life lessons. Some scenes and sub plotlines did seem unwanted. It just felt like fillers. It would have been better if they showed us Ha yi Chan's journey after losing his hearing. How he met the woman he loved again, how they got back together and their marriage. It would have been such a great ending to the drama, but still everything went well and happy.
The cast was wonderful. It was a delight watching them on screen. Happy that everyone got their happy ending ❀️
Going to miss them on every Monday and Tuesday

Contender for best show!

This rivals Lost You Forever as one of the best storylines I’ve seen this year. You will be dragged in from the first episode and barely any scenes skipped! The dramatic moments, the music, the editing, the acting β€” all extremely well-done! I love the vibes, the mystery, the tension!!!! This is the escape from reality we all need. I look forward to new episodes and wait agonizingly for the next ones. Every ML is so interesting and I literally can’t decide who to ship. The politics is GENUINELY interesting, and that’s coming from a romance lover. Watch this!

Ryusei stole the show.

I'm a fan of both Tori and Ryusei so imagine my delight when both were in this drama. Ryusei stole the show for me. I'm so impressed and proud of his evolution as an actor. I hated, sympathized, was angry with his character. He made me feel a myriad of emotions watching this: he outdid himself in this one. Tori as the main lead was amazing how he always is and I'm always in awe of his acting. I wasn't familiar with the lead actress prior to this so she did very well too.

Warning from now on it's going to be full of spoilers.

I like how this movie showcased how domestic violence starts. It starts with red flags like being extremely controlling; checking where you other half is at every time of the day and even call their work to see if they left. Also expecting a certain behavior out of them and for them to obey you and suddenly escalate to violence.
My main gripe with this drama is that I completely understand the trauma that the Female lead went through when she was young but when she was an adult, she should have clarified what really happened. The male lead let her stay with her because of the daily trauma she was having at home. It's understandable that he was arrested for being a pedophile but technically he was not. His life as an adult in the public eye was completely ruined because of this and their subsequent meeting, him continuing to be persecuted, her apologizing for continuing to ruin his life when she could have came clean about what really happened. Sure not everyone would believe her but it will at least clear his name publicly. I don't know why she was still protecting her awful aunt and his son by staying quiet and ruining this man 's life..I just didn't like that it ended without this happening. I also have another question about his condition that I'll ask in the comments.

It's an amazing movie....with outstanding performances..... give it a go !!!

Villain of the year!!!

Now, I don't think Dong Soo even deserve this title. He is a monster, not even a villain! While catching monster, he became the biggest monster of all. Ugh, it's frustrating, although I'm not surprised since he does have the most evil look among them lol..

I'm not happy with the ending. I'm disappointed that the storyline had his brother asked Dong Soo to let go when he died instead of asking him to turn himself in. SO unfair ending.

Now, I understand the story is as such that Dong Soo turned evil because of his circumstances, bla bla.. But, it's a fact that he has a choice. He chose to be evil, and for that, there's no excuse of any of his behaviors.

I want a Season 2 just to watch Han Dong Soo put into justice.!!!

I'd rather Dong Soo died instead of Seo Do Young.

He is the one who I believe deserve the villain of the year!!! At least, Seo Do Young is consistent in his evilness. He has boundary such as not to mess with police. While he's on alert, he hasn't been plotting to betray Dong Soo, until he had to. That, he has my respect. Plus, he is the MOST CHARMING VILLAIN of the year!

I mean, that jacket and baggy trouser and sandal, boy, only he can carry it (that's the only jacket he wear for first 5 episodes lol)

Oh mo, I'm SO impressed by his acting. From his built, his gaze, his look, his walk, his talk, he is the gangsta of the year. I want another series just featuring him as sexy mafia head!

And our poor baby Agi...the brother who get caught in the war of villains. My heart breaks for him everytime he is in pain. His acting also impressed me a lot. There was even a scene where his voice shook so much when he cried. He is SOOO good and he has grown so much in his acting since I last saw him on Taxi Driver.

This is how thriller should be done guys. Rarely, we have 3 great actors put into one show, this is top notch!

It nailed it in casting, acting, pacing, timing, storyline, plot. everything, EXCEPT the ending

Still, it keeps me entertained throughout, worth a watch!
