In Your Radiant Season: Lee Sungkyung and Chae Jonghyeop Reunite After Seven Years in MBC’s New Romance Drama
MBC’s upcoming weekend drama In Your Radiant Season is set to premiere on February 20 at 9:50 PM, promising viewers a heartfelt romance that bridges the gap between past encounters and present realities. Starring Lee Sungkyung and Chae Jonghyeop, the series explores the unexpected reunion of two people whose lives once intersected seven years ago on Seoul’s iconic Jamsu Bridge.
The drama follows the story of Chaan, a man who lives each day with the carefree spirit of summer vacation, and Ran, a woman who has locked herself away in the coldness of winter. Their fateful meeting awakens frozen time, unraveling a romance filled with unpredictability and emotional depth.
Recently released promotional posters have heightened anticipation by capturing both the past and present of the two leads. One striking poster is divided into upper and lower frames, depicting their first encounter seven years earlier. Amid the bustling crowd on Jamsu Bridge, Song Haran (played by Lee Sungkyung) stands silently, gazing into the distance, while Sun Woochaan (played by Chae Jonghyeop) looks at her with quiet intensity. The moment leaves a lingering impression, hinting at the significance of their connection.
Woochaan’s hooded appearance adds an air of mystery, drawing attention to his unfamiliar yet compelling presence. His gaze toward Haran suggests a recognition of something long buried, as fragments of memory resurface. The dialogue accompanying the poster—“She once told me I seemed like someone trapped in winter” and “Someone spoke to me, quite by chance”—deepens curiosity about the hidden story behind their seemingly accidental meeting.
Another poster reveals the present-day reunion of the two characters. Haran, now a chief designer, and Chaan, an animator, meet again in a professional setting. Their exchange of introductions—“I am chief designer Song Haran” and “It is not Sun Woochaan, but Sun Woo, Chaan”—captures the spark of renewed connection. Even in this brief moment, the synergy between the two characters radiates, suggesting that their relationship will evolve into something profound.
The production team emphasized the thematic depth of the series, noting, “The bond that began on Jamsu Bridge seven years ago continues in the present, though their seasons have flowed in entirely different directions. Audiences will witness whether the scattered fragments of memory and hidden stories can come together to form a single spring.”
With its blend of nostalgia, mystery, and romance, In Your Radiant Season promises to deliver a poignant narrative of love rediscovered. Lee Sungkyung and Chae Jonghyeop’s chemistry is expected to bring warmth and emotional resonance to the screen, making the drama one of the most anticipated titles of MBC’s 2026 lineup.
