Well damn hello I am alive again! We’re going to ignore the fact that I have been dead for 2 months and that I’m hella behind on my reading goal and instead talk about a drama that I just binged over break! This drama literally broke me; like quite sobs broke me and now I’m never recovering thanks!!! I don’t think I’ve written a k-drama review for at least over a year now (hi editor yienne here. i checked and the one and only kdrama review i wrote was in 2022 so this is actually pretty accurate and depressing but hey at least i’m writing one now!) but I’m coming back stronger than ever with this freaking adorable kdrama that honestly made me feel more single than ever. I am not quite over my post drama depression yet but I figured that since literally 2 months have passed into the year, I should probably alive myself on my blog and write a review. With that being said, grab some boba and let’s pair up the beloved cast of Twinkling Watermelon with some books and a song!
TWINKLING WATERMELON follows a music-loving high school student who is mysteriously transported back to the 1990s . There, he finds himself befriending his future father. They two play in a high school band, but their relationship is complicated when our hero's father starts crushing on a girl that's so not his future mother and he must figure out a way to ensure his future by fixing the past.

And that’s a wrap! I honestly adored every single one of the cast members but the main four are the only ones I’m covering today; partly because I don’t think I read enough for the remaining band members. I grew to fall in love with the drama with every episode I binged. The character growth between the main cast, story dynamic, and overall portrayal of the importance family and identity could not have been done better. Seriously, this romance was so freaking perfect and I think Yi-chan and Cheong-ah have become one of my new favorite power couples. I didn’t particularly love the ending if I’m being honest considering if felt like the ending was cut short and there wasn’t a chance to explore what happened afterwards to some of the characters which was kind of lacking. Nonetheless, I still adored this drama with all my heart and I don’t think I’m recovering from my post drama feels for a long longg time <3
FINAL RATING:
who's your favorite k-drama power couple?
