Banjjagineun Woteomellon (2023)
A refreshing slice of life topped off with a well-put together ending
So, Twinkling Watermelon... the first thought that would've come to mind is "What a weird name". A normal reaction because even if we are used to weird namings of K-dramas, food has mostly never been used in titles.
But be that as it may, Twinkling watermelon brought on a flurry of emotions to anyone watching it.
It was tough at times, having to wait an entire week for the continuation of the story haha, but we all got through that somehow.
Twinkling Watermelon was like a breath of fresh air to be honest. Contrary to a typical K-drama romance, this one involved Time Travel and boy did it help enhance the story.
Meeting his father when he was younger and becoming friends with him must have been a surreal experience. Learning about the life of his mother and father before they got married, experiencing first hand the hardships they had to go through, and learning about his father's accident and his mother's struggles all helped EunGyeol realize that his Mother and Father were not always as happy as they were during the present and that what may be shown on the surface is not always true.
The show had many emotional parts that had us on the edge of our seats too sometimes, haha. But it also had had it's fair share of enjoyable parts, especially how the relationships between the Main Leads changed over time and how Eungyeol tried his best to match his mother and father up as soon as possible, even at one time being misunderstood (due to his actions) that he "liked" his father.
As we got closer to the end, I was always anxious as to how/what the ending is going to be but safe to say, I wasn't disappointed. The ending was well executed and the buildup during the last episode was EXTREME to say the least. The uncertainty that went through every watcher's mind as they watched the last episode was completely eliminated during the last few minutes of the show. But well done Writer for making us so anxious during the episode!
Overall, Twinkling Watermelon had an amazing story, proper development between leads, a good pacing, and a well executed ending and for that reason I'd recommend it to anyone interested in watching it.

This might just be one of the best K-dramas I've watched.
This Drama was something refreshing. It contains the struggles of life and how one must always expect the unexpected. Besides that, it showed us the happiness and relief that comes with having someone, anyone, that you can share your worries with and support you in your tough times.
It starts off with showing how the times can always change. One may be rich one day and have no worries when it comes to life, and another day, they may just be left with nothing but worries and sorrows ahead of them.
Such was the case for our male lead, Baek Yi Jin. He who one day was just a normal college student got hit by the times and had his entire world change in just a matter of days. This lead him to being extremely depressed and stressed as to how he can make everything be the same as it once was.
Here enters our female lead, Na Hee Do, a joyful Highschooler with a refreshing, bubbly personality who aspires to becomes a World-Class fencer. But not without worries of her own, now that her Highschool fencing team was about to close down, she was at a loss as to what to do. Add this to her un-supportive mother who wanted her to quit and her current plateau in terms of skills, life wasn't treating her so well either.
And now that it was time for both of them to figure out how to move forward, they happened to come across each other.
From here on out, the story unfolds as we know it...
This was a short introduction I chose to write before writing my actual thoughts on this show.
I won't hesitate to call this show a masterpiece. That's right, a masterpiece, and there are many reasons which prompted me to call it as such.
Such being, the way the characters' personalities were portrayed and how they all the actors fit into the roles of the characters they played, the chemistry between the two leads, the writing of the show and how the story plays out, the effect each character had on one another, and so on... There was not a moment where I thought, "why was this included, there was no need for this" or "this doesn't make sense, why was this there", everything fit perfectly, whether it was the romance, drama, or the slice-of-life aspect of it.
To conclude, I loved this show and would definitely recommend this show to anyone wanting to watch something new, refreshing, and wholesome.

Wholesome, Sweet, and Sad
Well let's just say that this was... a really good movie.
I watched this movie due to hearing about how good it was from social media. Combine that with my sister giving me the idea of watching it and here we are...
This was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. There were many cute and wholesome moments throughout the movie and ofcourse how can we not talk about the sad ones ;(. The leads had amazing chemistry and the way they just were was wholesome.
This movie tell's us about the joys of one's first love and how unpredictable life can be at times. It tell us that we should enjoy everything while we still can and are able to, before it's too late.
Let me give you a minor spoiler alert, and that is that this is a sad movie. How I would've loved for it to have a happy ending but alas we do not always get what we want.
I'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wants a sad cute romance.
Roboti Aniya (2017)
Quite an Enjoyable Watch.
Initially, the start was rather slow and uninteresting so I was skeptical of the show.
However from the reviews I read, the show was praised quite highly so I thought why not just continue watching and see where it takes us. And boy was I glad I didn't drop it.
Every character was focused on properly, and the chemistry between the main characters was really good too.
The story developed quite nicely and I liked the feeling of anticipation as to what is going to happen next as I watched it, and trust me when I say that there were QUITE a few moments like that.
Overall, I really enjoyed the show and would highly recommend it.

Dropped mid-way
I've heard quite a few people saying that this show is quite good, coupled with the good reviews from sites such as Reddit, I thought "Hey, why not give it a try".
However, to my disappointment, this show did not live up to the expectations. I asked a person I knew on what they thought of the show and they said that it was real good and to just keep watching. I wondered on that and decided to continue but the show just doesn't seem to catch my interest, it's not that exciting either.
Therefore due to my lack of interest, I have decided to drop the show. It might have been good for others but it wasn't for me.
And if anyone would like to know, I decided to drop it mid-way through Episode 6.

Dropped it
Good day guys, just here to share my thoughts on this k drama.
So basically it was enjoyable the first few episodes and I felt that the plot was good, however it didn't really attract me as I went on to watch further. It felt... well boring per se. And I feel that the pacing wasn't that good either. The reason for why I gave it a 6 is because it wasn't necessarily bad but actually a bit enjoyable, it's just that it's too long and I didn't really feel the need to continue watching it further .
