The radiant coming-of-age story that achieves both dreams and love is truly beautiful. 'In Your Radiant Season' Gen.Kim Tae-young closed his first debut work with a full happy ending and offered heartfelt closing remarks.
On the 3rd MBC 'In Your Radiant Season' (planned by Namgung Seong-woo, written by Jo Seong-hee, directed by Jeong Sang-hee and Kim Young-jae, produced by Pan Entertainment) concluded with episode 12. Cha Yu-gyeom (Gen.Kim Tae-young) overcame the trials of injury and rehabilitation to take off toward his dream again, delivering a moving impression, and completed a radiant coming-of-age story by continuing unchanging love with his long-time partner Song Ha-dam (Oh Yeju).
Yu-gyeom's final choice was 'not to give up but to challenge.' At the moment he was about to leave the ground having given up everything amid a rehabilitation crisis, Ha-dam's sincere shout telling him not to give up until the end lifted Yu-gyeom up again. Yu-gyeom, who had collapsed in fear, gained courage from Ha-dam's support, devoted himself to rehabilitation and took another step forward. Sharing joy and hope with Ha-dam, Yu-gyeom gradually recovered, received a test offer from a U.S. local agency and met a new opportunity, succeeded in returning, and the two, strengthened as each other's 'No. 1 fan,' completed a happy ending with their more mature love.
Gen.Kim Tae-young drew Cha Yu-gyeom's emotional changes with density and raised the drama's immersion. From the moment of despair when he was about to give up his dream to the decision to rise again, he delicately built the emotional line of collapse and recovery. After displaying fresh boyish charm early in the drama as the epitome of a 'refreshing boy,' he delicately captured the character's various facets from the mature side that keeps Nana (Lee Mi-Sook) 's secret to the lover side toward Ha-dam. Gen.Kim Tae-young completed the character's growth story as the face of youth moving toward a dream and proved his potential as a next-generation rising star.
Having perfectly portrayed Cha Yu-gyeom's growth, Gen.Kim Tae-young shared his closing thoughts. "The warm encouragement and comfort that viewers have given Yu-gyeom were a great strength to me, and I was happy to be able to live as the upright and lovely Yu-gyeom," he said, "I would like to thank the director, the staff and senior actors who nurtured my growth with boundless affection and interest throughout the shoot. I hope In Your Radiant Season, which is also my debut work, will remain in the hearts of many people for a long time. I sincerely thank the many viewers who watched." he conveyed his sincere and affectionate gratitude.
Meanwhile, Gen.Kim Tae-young, who impressed with delicate emotional acting and stable character interpretation from his first debut work as a member of the actor group New Name, will continue his rising star path by joining SBS's new drama 'Awakening.' Playing Jang Si-hoon, the representative 'Mr. Perfect' of Seongnyeong High School, the drama's setting, Gen.Kim Tae-young is expected to show a completely different side in the occult genre.
