Aug 22, 2023

tvN’s upcoming drama “Twinkling Watermelon” has dropped an intriguing new teaser!

“Twinkling Watermelon” is a fantasy coming-of-age drama in which a CODA (child of deaf adult) student born with a gift for music crash lands at an unfamiliar place after time traveling through a suspicious music shop. There, he forms the band Watermelon Sugar with other mysterious youths.

Ryeoun plays Eun Gyeol, the only person who can hear in his deaf family and who leads a double life as the perfect model student by day and a band guitarist by night. Choi Hyun Wook takes on the role of the passionate Lee Chan full of Generation X vibes. Seol In Ah transforms into Seowon Arts High School’s cello goddess Se Kyung whereas Shin Eun Soo plays the cold and haughty “ice princess” Chung Ah, who has been deaf since birth.

The teaser clip kicks off with Eun Gyeol, who time travels to 1995 on the day when two moons rise. Eun Gyeol’s father Lee Chan, who was a high school student at the time, appears in front of Eun Gyeol, adding to his confusion. Lee Chan looks at Eun Gyeol strangely when Eun Gyeol calls him “Dad.” Due to the confusing situation, Lee Chan and Eun Gyeol, who are father and son in the future, fight until they get nosebleeds. Eun Gyeol sets out to find a way back to his own time, saying, “There must be a way.”

The contrasting vibes of the mysterious girls Se Kyung and Chung Ah also draw viewers’ attention. Unlike Se Kyung, who puts on a playful and confident facial expression, Chung Ah maintains a calm mood.
