The Korean drama “Twinkling Watermelon” is a time travel story about a boy who can hear in a family of deaf people.

Eun-gyeol was born into a family where his mother, father, and older brother are all deaf. He was the only one who could hear. He was so accustomed to sign language from a young age that he would often act as an interpreter for his family. Eun-gyeol was bullied for having a deaf family, and he often felt like an outcast. He met an elderly man who ran a musical instrument shop and learned how to play the guitar. He developed a passion for music and dreamed of becoming a musician. When he was in high school, he told his father that he wanted to become a musician, but his father didn’t accept his dream. He believed that his son just liked music because studying was hard. Eun-gyeol got into a fight with his father and ran away from home. In a fit of anger, he tried to smash his guitar, but a music shop called ‘La vida Music’ suddenly appeared in front of him. Eun-gyeol sold his guitar and left the shop, but the shop master gave him a suspicious message, “Be careful on your way out.” When he left the shop, he found himself in 1995.

The biggest help for Eun-gyeol, who suddenly found himself living in 1995, was “Lee-chan.” Eun-gyeol became interested in Lee-chan, who was a member of the school band. Lee-chan’s family ran a boarding house, and Eun-gyeol lived there as Lee-chan’s tutor. The truth was that Lee-chan was Eun-gyeol’s father. Eun-gyeol was shocked to see his father, who he thought was deaf from birth, could hear and speak. He learned that his father became deaf due to an accident, and he tried to prevent his father’s accident.

But there was one problem. Eun-gyeol’s father, Lee-chan, met Eun-gyeol’s mother after learning sign language following his accident. They fell in love and got married. If Eun-gyeol prevented his father’s accident in the past, his father and mother would never meet, and Eun-gyeol himself would cease to exist.

In fact, Eun-gyeol wasn't the only one who time-traveled to 1995. Eun-yu, who time-slipped to 1995 in the same way as Eun-gyeol, was a pessimistic girl who was ready to give up on life. She had a similar appearance to her mother when she was young. Seeing her resemblance, Eun-yu decided to pretend to be her mother, Se-gyeong, in the past. She wanted to fulfill her mother's first love and erase her own existence. She approached Lee-chan, who was her mother's first love.

Will Eun-gyeol be able to prevent his father’s accident? The Korean drama “Twinkling Watermelon” delivers a message about what youth is and how to live a sparkling life. You can watch it on TVING, Rakuten Viki, Viu, Prime Video, and iQIYI.
