In Your Radiant Season: Lee Sung Kyung and Chae Jong Hyeop Star in MBC’s New Romance Drama
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, written by Jo Sung Hee, and directed by Jung Sang Hee and Kim Young Jae, the series promises an unpredictable romance that blends warmth and melancholy.
The story follows Chan, a man who lives each day like an exciting summer vacation, and Ran, a woman who has locked herself away in the cold of winter. Their fateful meeting awakens frozen time, setting the stage for a radiant love story filled with unexpected turns.
First Poster Reveal
The drama’s first official poster captures the contrasting worlds of the two leads, Song Ha Ran (Lee Sung Kyung) and Sun Woo Chan (Chae Jong Hyeop), standing face-to-face on Seoul’s iconic Jamsu Bridge.
- Ha Ran is depicted in a snowy winter setting, her cold expression avoiding Chan’s gaze.
- Chan, by contrast, stands bathed in sunlight, smiling warmly as he looks at her.
Though they share the same location, the poster highlights their emotional distance—two people existing in different seasons and states of mind.
Symbolism and Tagline
The poster’s tagline reads: “Seven years ago, like a spring breeze, she appeared before me again.” This line symbolizes the gap in time between the two characters and hints at a past connection.
Chan immediately recognizes Ha Ran, while her eyes suggest she remembers nothing. This emotional dissonance intensifies curiosity about the story they shared seven years earlier and how fate will bring them together once more.
Production Insight
The production team emphasized the importance of Jamsu Bridge as a symbolic setting:
“Jamsu Bridge is a crucial location in the early episodes, revealing both the emotions and the passage of time between the two characters. Watch closely to see how their meeting there transforms their relationship.”
Premiere Date
In Your Radiant Season will officially premiere on February 20, 2026, at 9:50 PM KST on MBC, promising viewers a heartfelt romance that contrasts warmth and cold, past and present, love and longing.
