Choi Hyun Wook And Ryeoun Confront Shin Eun Soo's Father To Protect Her In “Twinkling Watermelon”

Nov 13, 2023

tvN’s “Twinkling Watermelon” has released new stills ahead of today’s episode!

“Twinkling Watermelon” is a fantasy coming-of-age drama in which a CODA (child of deaf adult) student born with a gift for music accidentally travels back in time to 1995 through a suspicious music shop. There, he forms the band Watermelon Sugar with other mysterious youths.

Ryeoun stars as Eun Gyeol, the only person who can hear in his family, 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 Yi Chan, Eun Gyeol’s father who is a high school student in 1995. Seol In Ah transforms into Seowon Arts High School’s cello goddess Se Kyung, while Shin Eun Soo plays the cold and haughty “ice princess” Chung Ah, who has been deaf since birth.

Previously, Chung Ah faced escalating pressure and abuse from her stepmother Im Ji Mi (Kim Joo Ryoung). To make matters worse, when Im Ji Mi’s attempt to gain control of the family was hindered by Eun Gyeol, she resorted to locking Chung Ah in the attic once again. Fortunately, Eun Gyeol discovered and rescued her and decided to bring her to the Snail Boarding House.

In the process, Yi Chan also became aware of Chung Ah’s abuse at home. Unwilling to remain passive, Eun Gyeol and Yi Chan are gearing up to confront not only Im Ji Mi but also Chung Ah’s father Yoon Geon Hyung (Kim Tae Woo).

In the newly released stills, Yi Chan positions Chung Ah safely behind him as he confronts Yoon Geon Hyung with fearlessness despite the latter’s silent authority emanating from his charismatic presence.

In other stills, Eun Gyeol also confidently faces Yoon Geon Hyung and Im Ji Mi, engaging in a composed conversation with the two adults as he seems unfazed by Im Ji Mi’s menacing glare. Given Eun Gyeol’s earlier vow to Im Ji Mi that he would “change her history,” anticipation intensifies over whether both Eun Gyeol and Yi Chan can expose Im Ji Mi’s schemes and rescue Chung Ah from her abuse.
