''Twinkle Twinkle'' ("Banjjak Banjjak Bitnaneun", also known as Sparkling / All That Glitters / Shining) is a 2011 South KoreanDrama centered on a publishing house. Currently an ongoing series of 50 episodes running on the Korean Broadcast Station (as of June 2011).

Han Jung Won is the daughter of a successful publisher, working as one of the editors. She is hoping her father will promote her to editor-in-chief; the problem is, he has already offered the position to an obscure reporter, Song Seung Joon, with whom she has had a previous unfortunate run-in.

In the meantime, Hwang Geum Ran is an employee in a bookstore, quietly living her life and helping her {{Jerkass}} fiancé, Yoon Seung Jae, further his career. Her ''good'' friend is Kang Dae Bum, who is studying for the bar exam along with Seung Jae.

It's discovered on the eve of their 29th birthday that they were switched at birth at the hospital, leading to family chaos, poor vs rich arguments, and other dramatic devices. The series touches on whether your birth or your upbringing ultimately are most important to your happiness.

The lives of both families intertwine in the best SoapOpera fashion, with tears, laughs, and WTF moments.
