The Cast & Characters
The lead of The Secret Romantic Guesthouse, Ryeoun, will take the role of Eun Gyeol. He is a CODA and the only one who can hear in his deaf family. Although he displays as the perfect model student during the daylight, he lives a double life as a guitarist of a band at night. In the upcoming drama, the rising actor will demonstrate his versatile acting skills by playing a CODA and a youth who is passionate about music.
The Twenty-five Twenty-one star, Choi Hyun Wook, will play the role of the fiery Lee Chan. Having grown up with older university students in his grandmother’s boarding house, Lee Chan is filled with the vibes of Generation X. Lee Chan is determined to conquer the heart of a “goddess” from a local arts high school.
Meanwhile, OASIS star Seol In Ah will play the role of Se Kyung. She is the cello goddess of Seowon Arts High School. With her innocent beauty and elegant aura, Sa Kyung becomes everyone’s muse.
And Shin Eun Soo will play the role of cold and arrogant “ice princess” Chung Ah, who was born deaf. Yet, despite her hardships, she dreams of having a bright life just like Frida Kahlo, who shouts, ‘Long live life.’
tvN’s Sparkling Watermelon Korean drama is scheduled to air in the second half of this year. So, stay tuned for the updates!
