When life gives you lemons make a band with it😂 maybe all will be fine💕
A healing drama containing all the elements you will need to brighten up your life. You will feel happy, you will feel sad, you will sometimes laugh, or you will just sometimes watch the screen and be like how can everyone in this drama be so cute and then get hit back to reality a moment later realizing they aren't real people and this is just a drama (this is the only sad part). The cutest part of this drama is Yi Chan and Cheong Ah, both as a couple and as an individual are written and acted so well that you will start loving them both right from the start and till the end.The basis of the story is about not giving up on yourself even if everything seems to be breaking apart and you find yourself destined to fall. Another great message is that no one other than yourself can live your life for you so you shouldn't let things hinder your mind and just live your life the way you like it. All the characters be it Eun Gyeol, grandma, Yi Chan's friend Eun Gyeols's brother, or Eun Yu, etc. just fit the role so well that I think whoever came up with the casting seems to be from the future??. The music is awesome, the flow of the story is really smooth and well-directed, and the cinematics and contrast between different environments, situations, timelines, etc. are well handled to the point that it just blends without being noticed into the whole drama. This show also tells how not knowing someone's suffering doesn't mean one can assume that they are okay, not all sufferings are visible everyone either is still fighting or has already won the battle with their share of suffering. My favorite character in this drama was Yi Chan due to how kind he was, and how well he could blend in with anyone and make the other party feel comfortable, he seemed comical yet without a doubt was the most responsible one in the drama and the way he treated Cheong Ah really sets an example of how green a green flag can be?.
Watch the drama to find out who will become your favorite character maybe this drama might also end up becoming a great memory for you too.

✨️? - A MUST WATCH
Youth life is the most precious life. Youth is the best time. The way in which you utilize this period will decide the nature of coming years that lie ahead of you. - Swami VivekanandaAs rightly said by Swami Vivekananda and the moral of this series portrayed, YOUTH IS THE BEST TIME. The series revolves around a boy who wants to become a singer in a band but is fearing the burden from his parents who have hearing loss. He goes to the past to find out that it's is none's fault that life turns out how it is. We just live on with whatever happens around us.
This drama is a perfect epitome of what we want to see- romance, melodrama, lot of music, sadness and forgiveness. It's a powerful performance by all the artists who have worked in this series.
Can't say anything more than IT IS A MUST MUST WATCH. So if you haven't started this yet, don't wait. Just do it. You'll love it. ❤️

twinkling watermelon ー twinkled within us ?
honestly from a pov who just recently finished it ー away from the craze when it aired (tho i wanted to watch it live so bad but cannot for personal reasons) i appreciate the stillness and the quiet while watching it and processing it on my own.the story is full of realistic issues ー from domestic ones to the story of youth and the hierarchy or status. it connects each on of us who has the same struggle as the main characters ー sometimes we want to just close our eyes wishing that if we open it, we are all just in a twisted dream but unfortunately everything happening around us is real which we can relate to what eungyeol's present looks like. he did not avoid his dad's accident whatever methods he tried but because he gave up giving up, and because of his persistence and perseverance he did change a lot of things.
the takeaway we can get here is that change is never out of reach if we keep on trying and striving to do what's good, what's just, what's pure, what's kind, and what's right.

beautiful story
What a beautiful story. The plot is similar to back to the future in terms of time traveling and the parents being involved in the purpose of the travel. For me it's a great plot and I love how the k-drama develop it.I would have loved a final episode a little be longer explaining how the parents meet again, and how different was the protagonist's mother life, but well it let us to imagine those parts.
It's a k-drama that sometimes I will revisit.

Definitely a 10 star!!!!
I can't believe I watched this!!!I seriously went into this drama thinking its going to be another generic and mediocre high school drama. I mean just look at the crew, cast and THE NAME!! I never thought this would be my 5th 10-star drama in my 5 years of watching K-dramas. I was disappointed so bad but in a good way lol.
I have a thing for dramas that are flashbacks to the 90s. Dramas like Reply 88, 25-21 and others are my favorites of all time. But I never thought this drama would another one of those. I literally watched it because i had nothing else to do. I turned on the first episode and the next thing i know i was singing along with the ost with all the lyrics memorised by heart.
The plot just fits perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle. There were seriously no plot holes and it was just so satisfying to watch. The drama will literally drop your heart, break it into pieces and then go over those pieces with a hoverboard. But the next moments you'll find yourself laughing till your stomach hearts and you have tears in your eyes. You know when a drama gives you such feeling that it will be really good.
And the acting!!!! What the hell is up with these rookies??!!! Why are they soooooo good. I mean its a crime to be so good at something at such a young age. And I would like to add Ryeoun - I'll be keeping my eyes out for you. I think I found my next bias after Jungkook (which was 5 years ago lol). I can't wait to see what else he is going to do in the future.
For those looking for simmilar dramas to fill that empty void in their hearts, you should really check out Twenty-Five, Twenty-One and Reply 1988. You won't regret I promise. And I'll be going to rewatch them again now.

Fantastic,Extraordinary
There are some dramas that you won't regret watching.This is one of them.
After many months I met another one.
Really speaking,
it's hard to get a 2nd chance in life.
Ah!!
What is not in this drama... The beautiful relationship between father and son is perfect! I was wondering how Eun Ha will take so much pressure?
He has his own dreams. Actually, by going to the past He has fulfilled everyone's dreams. felt good I was not too greedy.
That's enough to fulfill my head ! ?

Je pourrais le regarder encore et encore.
Étant habituée aux dramas c'est vraiment la première fois que je prends le temps d'écrire une review, ce drama m'a vraiment émue par sa simplicité et par sa justesse. Le jeu d'acteur était si bon, l'alchimie entre les personnages aussi et que dire des émotions transmises sans même dire un mot.Pour moi c'est vraiment le drama parfait, celui qu'on attendait pas, mais où l'on se retrouve à s'attacher aux personnages, à rire avec eux, à pleurer aussi. Énorme coup de coeur et je le conseille à 100%

loved it!
I loved, loved, loved this show. I had my eyes for it as soon as it started airing, but I patiently waited for all episodes to finish airing so I could binge watch it in a weekend. I love time travel themed shows, and this one was such a heart warming story, of family, love, friendship, dreams, love and loyalty! I loved all the characters, especially the ones from 1995, and I felt the dilemma, confusion, happiness and sadness with every character, especially the ML, right with him. The actress who played Cheong-Ah in 1995 was super cute and I simply loved her innocence and expressions. One discovered that the disability of the ML’s dad was not congenital, rather due to an accident at the age of 18, but even if it was 1995, hearing aids were available to people who could speak but just couldn’t hear. I mean one can understand how Beethoven became deaf and couldn’t be treated in the 1700s, but it is beyond me why Ha Lee Chan couldn’t be given a hearing aid! That said, I still love this show to pieces, and would be rewatching it several times, and would also recommend it to my friends!Was this review helpful to you?

Fantastic except how they treated talk of suicide and used gayness as slap-stick
I want to say that I loved this drama and watched it all in one sitting. I also had two holdbacks that kept slapping me across the face as the show went on because they never went away.How they treated talk of suicide and used gayness as slap-stick.
Spoilers from here on.
Eun Yu travels back in time to literally kill herself. She tells Eun Gyeol multiple times, and NOT THING HAPPENS. HE BARELY REACTS AND BY EPISODE 12 IT'S LIKE SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER. IF THIS WAS NOT FICTION (AND EVEN IN FICTION), WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU THEY'RE GOING TO KILL THEMSELVES, COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY THEY TOLD YOU THIS TIME. I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE JOKING, OR UNSURE, OR IT'S SPUR OF THE MOMENT.
THIS. IS. A. CRY. FOR. HELP.
I would give anything for him to have reacted appropriately once. To have acknowledged what she said, to have even checked in, "so, I hear you want to kill yourself. You serious?" Instead, by episode 12, she's holding full conversations about coming here to kill herself multiple times in an episode, and .... and.... HOW CAN THE CONVERSATION JUST CONTINUE. I'm sitting here, like, wait, dude, bro, like what? Are you at least going to ask her if she still plans to kill herself? She's talking in the present tense here and it's not the subtitles' fault.
If you were someone who has a suicidal friend or family member and saw this and even considered for a moment, "this is how people respond when someone tells you they're trying to kill themselves?" that's bad. If suicide isn't talked about in a community, and more media than not treats it as unreal, un-urgent, or even a joke... this will affect your view and behavior. You are also going to treat it that way. And if you, the reader are saying "media doesn't affect your behavior; no one's that stupid," have you seen the internet? Are you not here on this website? Have you heard of Hallyu? The Korean Government knows how much media affects people's beliefs and behaviours. They built their entire trillion-dollar economy on it.
If you are suicidal and see someone else's suicidal behavior talked about like this, you're going to be horrified. You're going to take this as more evidence that if you tell people they won't take you seriously. Also, this is Korea, one of the countries with the highest suicide rate in the world. If you think about it, it's absolutely f-cked up that they treat suicide like this. "Oh, suicide, it's a part of life. Let's pretend she didn't say anything. Everyone's a bit suicidal these days, etc."
For - using gayness as a joke was very off-putting. Each time someone accused the brother or father of being gay for the other, they both reacted like it was the end of the world (Maybe that's what the ultra-devout Christians want us to believe, so what, you want to forward their agenda) You couldn't just leave it at a friend being overprotective of a friend/family member they are afraid for? You had to say that that much affection and protectiveness between or shown by a man must mean he's gay!?!?! Wow. Just Wow. I know it's a plot device, but please. This is only a stairway landing up from killing the gays - yay, we made it into the 20th century, now let's just make fun of gay people and use them to excuse away too much male sentimentality. wow.
