Really good drama that lets its four leads sparkle. Twinkling Watermelon features themes of family and identity at various times in the characters' lives, and while it looks like a fun ride on its nostalgic surface, this series has bigger emotional payoffs simmering just under the surface. Boy, do the final two episodes serve up the full force of the writer's prowess. In the end, each character develops the tools to help them communicate better whether through signing, music, or simply summoning the courage to ask the questions they never could. The male leads are excellent especially in the finale episodes but it's Choi Hyun-Wook, who has shone in everything he's done to date, demonstrating again why he'll be the next big thing in Korean tv.
