Actors Lee Sung-kyoung and Chae Jong Hyeop stir viewers' excitement with a fateful meeting at an art museum.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama In Your Radiant Season, scheduled to premiere on Feb. 20 at 9:50 p.m., (planned by Namgung Seong-woo, written by Jo Seong-hee, directed by Jeong Sang-hee and Kim Young-jae) depicts an unpredictable "radiant" romance in which Chan, a man who lives every day like an exciting summer vacation, and Ran, a woman who has locked herself into winter, meet as if by fate and awaken frozen time.
The stills released today (the 22nd) capture Song Ha-ran (played by Lee Sung-kyoung) and Seon Woo-chan (played by Chae Jong Hyeop) crossing paths at the art museum as if by chance. Ha-ran, standing engrossed in a painting, and Chan, who discovers her in the same space and time, exchange glances that spark curiosity about the nature of their relationship.
Chan's face, wearing a stunned expression as he looks at Ha-ran, conveys an emotion that suggests he cannot easily believe the reality before him. Chan's gaze, as if time has stopped while he looks at Ha-ran, hints at an inevitable attraction that goes beyond mere coincidence.
Nana Atelier's chief designer Song Ha-ran lives quietly in her own routine, obsessed with a compulsion not to form special relationships after suffering deep wounds in the past. One day, the suspicious man Seon Woo-chan suddenly appears and, true to his "born-to-be happy man" nature, seeps into Ha-ran's life with energy like a fully charged battery. But Ha-ran cannot hide her embarrassment as Chan, who is of a completely different temperament, keeps lingering by her side.
Meanwhile, Seon Woo-chan, an animator belonging to Can Animation Studio, which boasts the world's top reputation, comes to Korea on a three-month business trip for a project. He reunites by fate with Ha-ran, the only person who, seven years earlier, had slipped into his life like a spring breeze when he was trapped in winter. But Chan decides to stay by her side without revealing his identity to Ha-ran, raising curiosity about the story hidden behind his choice.
Another released still shows Chan cautiously covering Ha-ran with a coat and Ha-ran's surprised expression at Chan's action. Ha-ran, who questions Chan's repeated appearances before her, and Chan, who smiles brightly without reserve, convey both the subtle tension and excitement flowing between them. It piques curiosity about which direction the relationship between the two people standing in different seasons will take.
The production team of In Your Radiant Season said, "From the first shoot, Lee Sung-kyoung and Chae Jong Hyeop completed a 'radiant chemistry' with natural and delicate breathing," and added, "Please look forward to the romance the two actors will portray and whether the two people's 'wintering,' meeting with a seven-year time gap, can lead to another radiant spring."
