In Your Radiant Season: MBC’s New Romance Drama Starring Lee Sung-kyung and Chae Jong-hyeop
MBC is set to premiere its new Friday-Saturday drama In Your Radiant Season on February 20, 2026, at 9:50 PM KST. Produced by Pan Entertainment and directed by Jung Sang-hee and Kim Young-jae, with a script by Jo Sung-hee, the series promises an unpredictable romance filled with warmth, healing, and emotional transformation.
The drama tells the story of two contrasting characters whose lives collide like fate. Sunwoo Chan, a man who lives each day as if it were a carefree summer vacation, meets Song Ha-ran, a woman who has locked herself away in the coldness of winter. Their encounter awakens frozen time and sets the stage for a radiant love story that defies expectations.
On January 27, the second official poster was released, offering a glimpse into the emotional tone of the series. Against the backdrop of a spring window filled with blooming trees and flowers, Ha-ran (played by Lee Sung-kyung) and Chan (played by Chae Jong-hyeop) sit side by side. Ha-ran appears absorbed in her own thoughts, her expression still lingering in winter despite the vibrant spring outside. In contrast, Chan gazes at her with warmth, his eyes filled with gentle affection. The tagline on the poster reads, “Let’s get along well from now on, like a spring picnic, joyfully.” This line, spoken by Chan, hints at the tender changes he will bring to Ha-ran’s life, slowly guiding her out of her self-imposed winter.
The production team explained that the poster captures a pivotal moment in the café “Rest,” a space that serves as both comfort and a turning point in the relationship between Ha-ran and Chan. They emphasized that details such as the geranium flowerpot placed between the two characters and the surrounding props are not mere decoration but symbolic elements that reflect the emotional shifts the characters will experience. The team added that viewers should watch closely to see whether these two destined individuals can move forward together and embrace the warmth of spring.
With its poetic concept, evocative imagery, and the pairing of Lee Sung-kyung and Chae Jong-hyeop, In Your Radiant Season is shaping up to be one of MBC’s most anticipated romance dramas of 2026. The series promises to deliver not only heartfelt storytelling but also a visual and emotional journey that resonates with audiences longing for a tale of healing, love, and renewal.
The first broadcast of In Your Radiant Season will air on February 20, 2026, at 9:50 PM KST on MBC.
