You can put your fears to rest because Twinkling Watermelon has concluded perfectly. As K-drama viewers, we’re always afraid that our favorite shows (when ongoing) is going to end terribly (and a lot of them do). But Twinkling Watermelon has fortunately not followed the pattern and managed to be a fantastic slice-of-life drama, even with all its emotional parts. Episode 15 ended with Yi-Chan saving Eun-Gyeol from being hit by a car. Fortunately, the show doesn’t push the idea that Yi-Chan would only end up happy if the accident didn’t happen.

It is Chung-Ah’s stepbrother, Joo-Yeob, who tries to hit Eun-Gyeol with his car on purpose because his mother torments him for never being accepted by the Chairman.

We’re on the verge of the Twinkling Watermelon finale, and the tension is at its maximum strength. This series has become an integral part of our lives, and we wait for Mondays just to watch a new episode (wishing the blues away). As we approach the last episode, the suspense surrounding Eun-Gyeol’s future intensifies. However, the conclusion of episode 15 is nothing short of surprising. Just as it seemed like everything was falling into place for Eun-Gyeol and his family in 1995, a shocking twist of fate is revealed. Let’s quickly dive into the episode.

Just when we thought everything was finally better in the world of Twinkling Watermelon, the show has thrown us yet another curve ball. Given the circumstances, we’d be expecting the 2023 duo to return home by episode 15 so that they can be home with their families by the end of the series, but they’ve still got a lot of things to do in 1995. Episode 13 ended with Eun-Gyeol and Eun-Yoo realizing they’re both from the future on their way to camp, where the band plans on writing their first original song. Episode 14 reveals a lot of secrets to both Eun-Gyeol and Eun-Yoo, and they also finally have the answers to why they’ve come so far.

‘Twinkling Watermelon’ Episode 13 Recap & Ending Explained: Do Chung-Ah And Yi-Chan End Up Together?
In last week’s episodes of Twinkling Watermelon, things got a little bit messed up with Yi-Chan and Chung-Ah falling out because of a misunderstanding. Chung-Ah chose to leave Yi-Chan alone because she thought Se-Kyung was going to choose him and his mutual feelings for her would be reciprocated. But Se-Kyung, i.e., Eun-Yoo, finally realized that the first love her mother used to speak about was always her father, not Yi-Chan or Eun-Gyeol. This realization makes her want to go back home and find out for real, but she has no way of doing so. Finally, Eun-Gyeol finds her at the airport and asks her to spend some time with him until he can figure out a way for her to return.

After all the hard work and persistence, Watermelon Sugar is ready to perform at the school festival. But there’s one big problem: Eun-Gyeol has tried everything he can to save his father, Yi-Chan, from getting into an accident in the rehearsals one day before the festival, but it seems circumstances aren’t allowing him to. Finally, at the end of episode 11 of Twinkling Watermelon, Eun-Gyeol manages to show up in the nick of time to save Yi-Chan from Do-Jin’s gang. Yi-Chan is about to get hit in the head with a blunt object by Do-Jin, but Eun-Gyeol kicks up a storm by literally kicking Do-Jin in the chest and screaming loud and clear not to touch Yi-Chan.

Episode 11 of Twinkling Watermelon has to be one of the most emotional episodes of the show. It’s finally the day Eun-Gyeol can change his father’s future, but how will he do it? Additionally, even though it’s a slice-of-life show that is more entertaining than anything else, it still has some prominent life lessons and realistic messages beautifully presented in the storytelling. So, the question remains: if Eun-Gyeol does change his father’s future (and past), what is the show trying to imply by fixing his hearing? Maybe we shouldn’t be going so deep into this, but in reality, there’ll be different consequences for Eun-Gyeol’s actions that are just as bad. Despite this one setback, the show is still one of the top contenders for the list of the best of the year for many. With that, let’s quickly get into Twinkling Watermelon Episode...

Although Twinkling Watermelon is only on episode 10, we’re already thinking about the big hole it’s going to leave in our hearts when it is over. The thoughtful series is, on the surface, a seemingly happy slice-of-life show about a son who travels back in time to save his father from an accident, but at its core, it tells viewers to live life to the fullest. Viva La Vida—yes, Coldplay did it first, but we’ll give the writers of Twinkling Watermelon credit where it is due. The show’s emotional message becomes more profound as the series progresses, and we’re very curious to see how things will shape up in the end. At the same time, there’s a fear that things might get messed up later on, as is common in the K-drama world.

Have we found the most wholesome slice-of-life show of 2023? Maybe. Twinkling Watermelon hasn’t disappointed just yet, and we’re even more excited to see where the show takes us in the future. The adorable show follows a Coda who happens to time travel to 1995, the year his parents met. We’re not quite sure why he’s been sent there just yet, but it may be to learn about his father’s accident that caused him to go deaf or to save him from said accident. In the previous episode, Eun-Gyeol met with his own accident when he got electrocuted by a microphone due to heavy rains. On the way to the hospital, he wished to be back home with his parents, and he did wake up in the future. Or so he thinks.

Twinkling Watermelon is one of those shows that gets more exciting with each episode. While some things seem a little bit strange at this point, we’re sure we’re going to get answers soon enough. After all, it is a show that involves time travel, so there are going to be some strange occurrences. The show thrives on cute moments between father and son, and sometimes, it gets funny enough for real laugh-out-loud moments. This is definitely a show to watch with family that’s wholesome and meaningful. At the end of Twinkling Watermelon episode 4, we see Yi Chan walk onto the street to save a balloon for a little kid who could’ve been hurt. Eun-Gyeol, in turn, saved his father from what he thought was a dangerous situation. He then checked if his father had the scar on his shoulder that he used to ask about as a child.

Twinkling Watermelon will make you laugh out loud and cry within a span of minutes. At the risk of speaking too soon, we highly recommend this show. If you have a gaping hole for feel-good, slice-of-life family dramas, then put everything down and watch this show. It’s a shame we don’t get to see all the episodes at once, and even with an adorable premise (and cast), the show, in the usual K-drama style, has a lot of secrets that will probably be revealed very slowly, and we’ll have to painstakingly wait another six weeks for the show to be completed. Hyun-Wook, who is really getting acknowledged for his fantastic work, is already becoming a big star, playing roles in shows like “D.P.” and now with a lead role such as this one. He shines in comedy, and together with Ryeoun, they make a terrific duo. At the same time,...

As if My Lovely Liar wasn’t the most adorable show that left us feeling satisfied, Twinkling Watermelon comes swooping in to take its time slot as well as its place in our hearts. Okay, yes, only two episodes have aired, but with such a classic concept, there’s no way this show isn’t going to be one of our favorites of the year. Also boasting an impeccable cast of younglings who are garnering more popularity by the day, everyone’s going to have their eyes on this drama. Twinkling Watermelon follows Eun-Gyeol, a Coda, who finds a love for music when he’s desperately looking for help. After a terrible incident, Eun-Gyeol finds himself confused between music and his family. What will Eun-Gyeol choose, or will his choice be made for him?
