Lee Joo-yeon has emerged as a key figure who could untangle Chae Jong Hyeop's "memory's 1 inch."
Lee Joo-yeon appeared in episode 7 of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama In Your Radiant Season (planned by Namgoong Seong-woo, written by Jo Seong-hee, directed by Jeong Sang-hee and Kim Young-jae), which aired on the 14th, revealing herself as a major figure connected to Sun Woo-chan (Chae Jong Hyeop)'s new memory "1 inch," amplifying viewers' curiosity.
In the drama, Lee Joo-yeon appears from episode 5 as Cha Su-jin, a neurology fellow at Boston General Hospital. Cha Su-jin is a figure who formed a connection in Boston seven years ago with Song Ha-ran (Lee Sung-kyoung)'s former lover Kang Hyuk-chan (Kwon Do Hyoung).
In the episode, Cha Su-jin was revealed as the key figure in the puzzle Sun Woo-chan had been piecing together through the "memory's 1 inch." It was revealed that the owner of the bracelet sound that remained in Sun Woo-chan's memory was Cha Su-jin, elevating her as the person holding the clue to the case. Meanwhile, Cha Su-jin's return from Boston to Korea foreshadowed a new phase in the Boston case.
Despite a brief appearance, Lee Joo-yeon raised the drama's tension with a mysterious aura. In particular, attention is focused on how her actions after Cha Su-jin's return will be connected to the Boston case.
