tvN’s popular monthly drama “Shining Watermelon”features an interesting script and lively performances by actors. The ratings of the latest two episodes increased slightly, from 3.1% and 3.3% to 3.4% and even 4.6%. It is obvious that the good reputation is gradually spreading..

“Shining Watermelon”is written by Chen Xiuwan, who has guaranteed ratings and has written “The Moon Embracing the Sun”and “Kill Me Heal Me”. Although it is a time-travel theme that is a bit “old”, the first two episodes feature two characters. The way of crossing time and space adds to the interest, and the latest three or four episodes also have unexpected and thought-provoking developments. The four leading actors certainly contributed to the critical acclaim. Riyun, Choi Hyun-wook, Seol In-ah and Shin Eun-soo’s lively and sincere performances were very popular with the audience.

In the plot of the third and fourth episodes, Ha Eun-gyeol (played by Yee Woon) travels to 1995 and not only discovers that “the same age dad”Ha Lee Chan (played by Choi Hyun-wook) can speak, but can even sing! Although he went through some twists and turns, he finally found a place to live in the snail family dormitory run by his great-grandmother (played by Go Do-shim), and slept with his father.

It’s exciting that Dad can talk, but Ha Eun-jae can’t accept that Dad’s first love is someone else! And that person is not a complete stranger, she is the “aunt”and grandpa’s (Cheon Ho-jin) daughter Choi Se-kyung (played by Lee So-kyeon, Seol In-ah)! Ha Eun-jae kept calling high school students of the same age “aunty”ridiculously, which made Cui Se-kyung feel confused and unhappy. Ha Li Chan and Ha Eun Kit took turns to annoy Choi Se Kyung. Even though they formed a band to impress everyone, Cui Se Kyung still disliked them.

Putting aside Choi Se Kyung’s feelings, Ha Eun-jae was actually able to perform on stage hand in hand with his father Ha Lee-chan. Not only Ha Eun-jae, but also the audience had mixed feelings and was deeply moved. Dad was not born deaf and mute, so why did he lose his hearing? He Enjie suddenly realized that this trip might give him an opportunity to prevent the accident from happening.

In addition to Ha Li Chan not being born deaf, Cui Se Kyung and Ha Eun Kyeol’s mother Yoon Cheong Ah (played by Seo Yeong Hee and Shin Eun Soo) also have a secret, which is also related to their life experience. Cui Se Kyung was actually adopted by her grandfather? Yin Qingya’s family is actually quite good, and her stepmother is the chairman of the board? If He Enjie knew this, it would probably overturn the world he knew.

In the preview for the next episode, Eun-jae begins to think about protecting his father, who falls into the vortex of adolescent love. Cui Shijing, who has unrequited love, goes to study abroad in a foreign country. Ha Lican doesn’t understand Yin Qingya’s unauthorized transfer of tickets to embarrass herself…
