The light in your eyes
I don't know if it won any awards, but the woman who plays the "old" protagonist is exceptionally talented. The piano music is beautiful, underscoring the sad moments. It's moving to tears, starting from episode 3.The male lead's background isn't enviable either. Actor Nam Joo Hyuk plays his part well.
I mean, to save her dad, she retries the scene 1,000 times and gets a poor result. Couldn't she have gone back five minutes earlier and stopped him at the door?
The rescue mission was hilarious but I didn't like the ending. The whole story feels fake.
It's unclear whether the daughter actually existed since she doesn't appear at the end. The reporter was the grandmother's husband, but also her acquaintance/swindler when she got older, and even the grandmother's doctor. Chaos. I don't get it that the friends, at three different points in time, were just as close to the young woman as they were to the "old" one.

It’s alright but slow
The light in your eyes is a show u have to pay attention too to understand it. It is a very slow paced k-drama and honestly I felt like giving up the show but continued it and honestly I don’t regret finishing it because of the plot twist in episode 10. If you are someone who likes slow paced romance and a bit of action dramas then this show is for you.Was this review helpful to you?
Do Not Read The Reviews
I am currently using ChatGPT and Copilot to get recommendations for dramas to watch next, based on personal criteria I specify. I also give a strong warning not to spoil the drama for me by providing too much information about it.That's how I managed to watch this drama without having any idea of what was going to happen. And I don't regret it one bit.
Would I have watched it if I knew what it was about from reading the reviews here? No. And I wouldn't have known what I missed.

I really liked everything. (for those who like semi-realistic and really sad story)
At first, the first 10 eps., I was beginning to feel interested and touched by the story, but after the big reveal in ep. 11, my expectations and thoughts of how the story would turn out, have vanished. The whole narration takes a turn after we find out about Hye-Ja's real identity. From the very beginning to the end, all the actors (especially the main) portrayed every character very realistically. They gave life to the story.All I can say without any spoilers is that I cried so, so much. It also has taught me so much about life, age, and memories which I have struggled with so much even though I am barely becoming an adult the following year. And my memories are one of the most valuable things I cherished the most, but struggle to keep track of everything, especially those that I wish I could remember. It made me look at life differently and started to understand why our parents are the way there are, and what kind of life we are living differently, yet, similarly.
Appreciate every moment in life because you never know what would happen in your lifetime like Hye-Ja. We wish we can all turn time back, but we can't. So instead, let's hold hands with who we are, the present me, the past me, and the future me should wait for us until we reach it.
"I hope you and your life mean a lot to you." - EP 9
"Live this day beautifully." - EP 12
Hye-Ja remembered her most beautiful life, and so can we.

First drama that made me cry in a long time
I won’t add any spoilers. I think you just need to go watch it. It’s a hard watch. It’s slow-paced, emotional, and you reallly need to be invested in the story. Gotta pay attention. But it’s SO worth it. Yup, go watch it. But make sure you’re in the right mood to, as it will hit ya where it hurts. Just a well-rounded, well-made, good story that depicts the beauty and pain of life. Great cast. Really, you’ll get the feels, and it won’t always be pleasant. But, I thinks that’s the whole point. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Go watch it!!Was this review helpful to you?
Moving and sensitive - worth the time
I was moved by this sensitive drama and how it tackled the difficulties of aging, grieving, and economic hardship. The sweet moments amidst the tragedy stirred my heart as well. The performances were uniformly powerful and nuanced. This show also provides an example of a big shocking twist done right: it's foreshadowed well and its reveal makes what came before richer. The drama's slow pace did test my patience in the middle but I'm glad I stuck with it and powered through my temporary boredom because taken as a whole this story really worked for me.Was this review helpful to you?
Heartfelt Journey Through Time and Emotions
The series explores themes of time, family, and the value of everyday moments. It is very heart-wrenching and thought-provoking story.I started watching this series with completely different expectations, but I still loved it. It made me sad at times, but it also healed me afterward. It made me look at certain things in life from a different angle. It reminded me of my grandparents who have passed away and also made me appreciate my only grandmother who is still with us.
The actors did a great job portraying their characters. Almost every scene where Nam Joo-hyuk appeared brought tears to my eyes.
It is not an ordinary cheesy romantic comedy, but it's definitely worth watching if you are ready to try something new.

The rewatch value would be simply to fit the pieces together from back to front and understand it with an even deeper heart and deeper sense of gratitude.
Anyone who gives this drama low stars really doesn’t understand the complexity of this story. Absolutely brilliant.

Remember to enjoy the ride.
I truly hope a lot of younger people watch this amazing piece of story telling. I am usually good at expressing myself but I just spent a lot of time crying.This story was so beautifully portrayed in a manner that books you into thinking it will just be another wonderful romance , that borders on insane with the classic fairytale approach to love we see so often in kdramas. The plot twist is almost to harsh and just heart rending deep and poignant that I almost didn't want to watch it.
As a woman currently in midlife ( fifties) with aging parents and high concerns about all diseases related to aging and how I will cope, the story hit so hard.
The acting was so well done. Thank you . Production from music to filming was excellent. Thank you

Dorama favorito pra vida.
Gostei muito como as atrizes atuaram, como se realmente elas fossem uma pessoa só. Não esperei esse plost, e chorei horrores. Amei os personagens secundários . Com um tema muito importante, Radiante traz uma mensagem linda e real sobre o tempo e vida. Emocionante. Uma história linda, me emocionei muito na primeira e segunda vez que assisti. Trazendo um ritmo leve no começo, e se passando os episodio vai se desenvolvendo o tema central da história."Mesmo se um dia comum for seguido de outro comum, a vida ainda vale a pena ser vivida. Não gaste seu tempo se arrependendo sobre o passado e se preocupando com o futuro, viva esse dia de hoje. Lindamente"
