JAKARTA - The Korean drama series Twinkling Watermelon arrived at its last episode on November 14 yesterday. On an occasion of a special interview, one of its main players, Ryeoun shared his experience of learning sign language for his role as Ha Eun Gyeon in this drama.

It is known that in this drama the figure of Ha Eun Gyeon is the only person who can hear in her family. Meanwhile, her father, mother, and sister are deaf. This is what makes Ha Eun Gyeon understand sign language since she was a child to communicate with her family.

Finally, that point became a challenge for Ryeun in playing his character in this Twinkling Watermelon drama. The reason is that he is required to be able to make a flexible and sensitive signal movement.

"He has studied sign language (Eun Gyeon) since he was a child. So he has to look smart and not awkward when doing it," said Ryeun.

Therefore, Ryeun admitted that he was trying his best to learn sign language anywhere and whenever he could. Luckily he was helped by the scenario that had already come out so he already knew what dialogue he had to do with sign language.

"I did a lot of effort to learn sign language. I practiced as much as possible when alone at home, during activities, and even before going to bed. Fortunately, the script was out first and I already had a scene set, so I could train intensively," he continued.
