(Twinkling Watermelon ep 13)

YICHAN STRUGGLING TO SEND CHEONGHA A FAX?? FALLING TO THE FLOOR IN FRUSTRATION WITH ALL HIS CRUMPLED UP PAPERS? THE FIGHT, THE WATCHING, THE SKETCHBOOK CONFESSION, THE SONG ALL FOR HER 🤧🤧🤧 AND HE FELL FOR HER BEFORE SEKYUNG EVEN CHOSE EUNGYEOL AH I'M SO EMO 😭😭😭😭😭

the absolute cutest part for me was in the original past, Yichan chased after Sekyung, got rejected, lost his hearing, and THEN dated Cheongah. i was really worried about the butterfly affect (or, in Eungyeol and Eunyoo's case, the bull in a china shop affect) making it so if those things didn't happen, he wouldn't have ended up with Cheongah, but here he goes still choosing her 🥺 here he goes punching abelists for her 🥺 here he goes learning sign language and teaching his friends to greet her 🥺🥺🥺 here is Yichan, who fell in love with Cheongah dispite them being in "diffrent worlds", and immediately showed her off. AND THEY DID ALL OF IT basically by themselves 😭💔💔

+ 5 bonus points for Eunyoo getting happy when Eungyeol told her he started liking "Sekyung" after she came back from the US, so he truly only fell for Eunyoo and not her mom

[hereforthebrainrot]

The fact that Ha Yichan and Yoon Cheongah fall in love with each other in every timeline is so special to me.

Viva La Vida

Twinkling watermelon has ended and now I don't know what to watch. My Mondays and Tuesdays aren't going to twinkle anymore now :(.

My thoughts on the ending : Keeping all the criticism about the ending aside, I think this was the best possible ending for everyone. Ha Eun Gyeol's family isn't struggling anymore as Ha Yi Chan and Yoon Cheong Ah are both successful, happy and charming as ever. Most importantly they are still in contact with their bandmates (their friends learned sign language for them and that's the cutest thing ever :( ). Ha Eun Gyeol doesn't feel 'burdened' anymore and can finally do what he always loved. On Eun Yu isn't suffering anymore either as she changed her mother's future which ended up changing her present as well. And Ha Eun Gyeol and On Eun Yu ENDED UP TOGETHERRR!!!

✨ Viva La Vida ✨

at some point I’ll do a more organized post on this, but I love looking for the BTTF influences in Twinkling Watermelon, not just when TW directly uses something from it, but also when it subverts it. right now I’m thinking of Marty playing guitar at a school event (something he’d wanted to do back home but wasn’t allowed to) for his parents when they have their official Falling In Love Moment — and then Eun Gyeol playing guitar at a school event with his dad (something he’d wanted to openly do back home but never dared to) at what’s supposed to be the romantic climax for both couples, but then it doesn’t work that way, because Cheong-ah doesn’t show up and Eun Yoo leaves in disappointment. it’s almost a remake of the Enchantment Under the Sea scene, but then it isn’t.

Twinkling Watermelon episode 12 is kinda bonkers

first of all, Eunyoo and Eungyeol not realizing they're both from the future is starting to piss me off like it's TIME. how did he listen to her say they're from different worlds, she doesn't know how to leave, and she's trying to help her parents AFTER she refrenced SQUID GAME, and he still has no clue?? i'm also PLEADING ANYONE to connect the dots about Eungyeol calling Yichan his dad, Chungah his mom, and Sekyung "ajumma". two 18 year olds are falling in love with people they think are 46 years old right now, i need someone to stop this madness 😭

ntm WHAT IS HAPPENING to Chungah right now ??? i know why she's upset, but wtf is going on with her plot? her dad's whole "make her smile at me" mission seems so completely removed from the rest of the plot, and i'm completely lost about where the weird power dynamic between him and his wife is going. i have a suspicion the writers made Chungah suddenly blow up at Yichan so he can miss her and realize he wants her back (?), but it feels pretty random to me that she suddenly yelled at him like that 💀 anyways, i hope all of this confusion means more time spent on Chungah's plot in the next episodes

unlikely ally, chapter 1 twinkling watermelon, episode 9 word count: 623 | rating: pg alternate timeline: se kyeong stays in seoul

He disentangles his feet from the life preservers and offers his hand to Se Kyeong.

“Are you okay?” he begins to ask, but in a split second she’s upon him, and his back slams into the lockers with an echoing bang.

“Hey, you jerk!” she snarls at him, and Eun Gyeol thinks he’s never been this afraid for his life. “What’s with you? What are you doing right now?”

“Well, the teachers were chasing us and I didn’t want you to get in trouble. I was trying to help—”

She pushes him back again. “Not that.”

“Not that?”

She’s looking daggers at him, but the adrenaline rush has finally begun to wear off, and he remembers why the trouble began in the first place. He suddenly feels very small.

“Oh. I’m sorry about earlier. I shouldn’t have confessed my love publicly like that.”

“No kidding!” Her face looks hot and red. “Do you know why I hated when you and Yichan showed up at that concert?”

“W- why?”

“Because just like every other man, he can’t take no for an answer. I didn’t realize you were just as bad as he was, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by someone who hangs around him so much.”

Eun Gyeol blinks. “Then you’ve told him no?”

“Of course I have!” She stops a moment and checks her volume. “Let me make this perfectly clear to you. I have a boyfriend. I love my boyfriend. And neither you, nor Ha Yichan, nor any other jumped-up little trophy hunter is going to make me change my mind.”

“You really mean that?” asks Eun Gyeol, suddenly flooded with optimism.

“Completely.” (Through gritted teeth.)

He brightens then, and takes her hands enthusiastically. “That’s great! Then please continue to date him—”

The unexpected contact does not please her. She pushes him away savagely, and he shrinks back into himself.

“I simply can’t understand you, Ha Eun Gyeol,” she says after a moment. “You declare your love for me in front of the whole school, you get into a fight with your best friend over me, yet when I tell you I’ll never date you, you get happy?! Are you mentally ill?”

“Not that I’m aware.”

“Then what are you playing at?”

He sighs, running through all the options as quickly as possible in his mind. “You want the truth?”

“Please!”

“Fine, then. I don’t like you. I don’t think you’re particularly attractive, and you have a personality like the inside of a refrigerator.”

“Ha!” she scoffs out, eyes wide. Then, more calmly — “Paradoxically, that’s the most refreshing confession I’ve gotten in the last month.”

She folds her arms across her chest. “Well, go on, then. What’s your angle?”

“I was just— trying to use the situation to make Yichan stop hanging around you.”

“But why? What do you gain from that?”

“I was…” Eun Gyeol sighs. He’s cornered. Now that he’s begun to tell the truth, he can’t find where to draw the line. “It’s because I think he should be with Yoon Cheong-ah.”

Se Kyeong’s entire expression changes; her scrunched forehead relaxes and her mouth falls slightly open. “Wha— Cheong-ah? Yoon Cheong-ah whom you live with?”

“Yes.”

“But why? What does that matter to you?”

Oh, that’s where to draw the line. “Look, I can’t explain it. I just happen to know that they need to be together. It’s important.”

She scoffs. “What are you, some sort of fortune teller?”

“Hey! You two!”

They both gasp and turn like deer in headlights.

They’re caught.

EMOTIONS potrayed by Shin Eunsoo as Yoon Cheong-Ah in Twinkling Watermelon (2023)

[whenthegoldrays]

TOP TEN YICHAN AND EUN GYEOL MOMENTS IN 1995 (according to me)

10. Sauna scene

Yichan having just got told Eun Gyeol was his son and noticing their similar mannerisms! But he asks Eun Gyeol if he was serious and gives him the space to backtrack and deny it and he accepts it even though he knows now!!! (Also important because this is the point where the trust between them has been fully irrevocably established.)

9. Gym showdown

THE WAY EUN GYEOL RUNS TO SAVE HIM. He gets hit by a car (!!!!) and even that doesn’t stop him, he just runs. And he makes it. Also the fact that Eun Yoo had told him that he made a lousy bodyguard because he didn’t even know how to swear and then the first time he actually does swear is in defense of Yichan. Kinda emotional about it.

8. “I’ll never get married”

I think that if any single interaction between Yichan and Eun Gyeol in 1995 makes up for their last fight before the time travel, it’s this scene. Eun Gyeol comforting Yichan by telling him what a good husband and father he turns out to be, how he’s respected and loved by his wife and kids! The fight means nothing in comparison to how much Eun Gyeol really loves his dad.

7. “Who’s Yoon Cheong-ah?”

Peak comedy, peak delivery, peak moment they’re both SO DUMB I love them bye

6. The goodbye

SOBBING. Yichan being a dad in that he willingly gives so much up for Eun Gyeol’s good. “It’s not your fault.” “Promise to become my dad.” “Come back and find me.” T_T

5. Sleeping with grandma

The sweetest, most wholesome scene with Halmeoni, the last time they were ever all together and how much she loves them and they love her!!! And her sweetness to Yichan <3

4. “Man In The Yellow Shirt”

The boys perform together on several occasions, but the first one is still the most special to me. There are no extra strings attached, no scheming, no pressure, just Eun Gyeol discovering the joy of playing music with his dad and the two of them having the best time. Perfection.

3. “You saved my life many times in my past life”

I HAVE NEVER RECOVERED. The way they’ve been bickering and getting on each other’s nerves endlessly, but in this tiny, perfect moment, all of Eun Gyeol’s love for his dad comes spilling out and it’s so honest, so true, that it even softens Yichan for a moment.

2. “Red Sunset”

When I say this is the scene of all time, I mean it. The song! I think I’ve said this at least ten times in different posts, but the fact that Yichan could’ve tried to drag Eun Gyeol back to the band but he sings for him instead! They make it an apology and a celebration of Eun Gyeol! And how lovely his actual apology is! He shows how much they appreciate him! And then of course, how quickly it all devolves into chaos with Eun Gyeol saying he likes Se Kyeong, the fighting, the way Eun Gyeol gives Yichan a bloody nose and immediately runs to his side to make sure he’s okay! THE WAY HE’S IN A LOVE TRIANGLE WITH HIS OWN DAD AHSHAHHAHA. Best scene.

1. Cliff dive / beach scene

Eun Gyeol’s desperation and his fight to save Yichan, the way he’s tried everything and finally, finally, Yichan takes him seriously. And then Yichan saves his life. And all the emotions come crashing down and he can just be a kid crying in his dad’s arms again. I have never been okay since this scene.

[hughungrybear]

If all parents are like Yoon Cheong Ah's dad, then it would be better to be an orphan. What the actual fvck. Some people need to be sterile so they'll never become parents. 🤬
