At its heart, In Your Radiant Season follows Chan, a man who lives each day like summer vacation, and Ran, a woman who has locked herself in winter.

After reuniting with Ha Ran seven years later, Chan discovers that she remains trapped in grief following the death of her former boyfriend, Kang Hyuk Chan. Hiding the truth that he was Hyuk Chan’s roommate and once spoke to her in his place, Chan stays by her side, determined to bring her back to spring.
Chan’s Hidden Memories and the Mystery of Boston
As Chan grows closer to Ha Ran, fragments of forgotten memories resurface. Triggered by tinnitus and visual distortions, these recollections hint at a deeper truth behind the accident seven years ago. During a business trip, Chan recalls Hyuk Chan and a mysterious woman, Cha Soo Jin, raising questions about what really happened in Boston. His guilt over deceiving Ha Ran collides with his desire to confess, creating tension that will shape their relationship. The unfolding mystery of Soo Jin’s role adds another layer of suspense to the drama’s second half.
Nana’s Secret Struggle
Kim Mi Sook delivers a poignant performance as Kim Nana, who has carried the weight of raising her three granddaughters after losing her daughter and son-in-law. While successfully running Nana Atelier, she begins to experience memory lapses and suspects the onset of dementia. Determined to hide her condition, Nana plans to pass the atelier to Ha Ran. Only Cha Yoo Kyum knows her secret, and his choices could alter the family’s future. This storyline adds emotional depth, exploring resilience, legacy, and the fear of fading memories.
