When you meet your teenage dad in Twinkling Watermelon

by tccolb

A new teaser has arrived for tvN’s Twinkling Watermelon (previously Sparkling Watermelon), revealing a little more about our fantasy story and the cute shenanigans that entangle the leads: Ryeoun (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse), Choi Hyun-wook (D.P. 2), Seol In-ah (Oasis), and Shin Eun-soo (Summer Strike).

It seems there was one eerie, foggy night when two moons shared the night sky. This is the day that our hero Eun-gyul (Ryeoun) discovers a strange music store standing in the distance and the teaser’s text screens explain: “I crash landed into a world that I don’t know.”

When Eun-gyul leaves the store, he’s taken aback by his changed surroundings and a newspaper confirms the shocking truth that he’s traveled back in time to April 1995. Here, he meets the young Yi-chan (Choi Hyun-wook) who spiritedly introduces himself and Eun-gyul grabs him in disbelief: “Dad?!” A flummoxed Yi-chan replies, “Probably not.”

In the intermittent text screens, we read more of Eun-gyul’s confused thoughts: “My dad appeared before me? Will I be able to return?” We then jump back to a frustrated Yi-chan who demands to know who Eun-gyul really is, adding offhand: “Are you from the future or something?”

As we come to a close, we finally get a quick glimpse of our ladies, Se-kyung (Seol In-ah) and Chung-ah (Shin Eun-soo). The teaser then ends as Eun-gyul reassures himself that there must be a way for him to go back to the present.

Co-directed by PD Sohn Jung-hyun (Mental Coach Jegal) and PD Yoo Beom-sang, with scripts penned by Jin Soo-wan (Chicago Typewriter), tvN’s Twinkling Watermelon premieres next month on September 25.
