In Your Radiant Season Episode 1

Nice start. Has the potential to be a good kdrama.

OKAY SO THIS IS HOW THE STORY GOES. Haran and chan were long distance dating, and chan was this really gloomy dude, yet haran made his day. And after she suddenly decides to visit chan at his uni called Boston uni, only to go right when there’s a chemical explosion causing LOADS of injuries and this makes haran think that chan’s dead, bear in mind her parents died as well beforehand from a car accident, and now haran feels alone and goes into a deep slumber of depression, now fast forward 7 years, haran is a lead designer at her grandmother’s company, nana atelier, and chan is an animator that was collaborating with haran’s company. The day before the collab team came to introduce themselves to the people they would work with at nana, they had a day to be tourists before locking in for work, which was when chan decided to go to an exhibition only to find haran, but at first he doesn't go up to her, but later chases her after she leaves the place, only to save her by stopping her in her tracks before a building renovation was about to collapse on her. Although she didn't know who called her name, later on creepy photos are sent to her workplace, sc though the person taking them was a stalker and eventually haran makes the link that chan was the stalker EVEN THIUGH HE WAS JUST A POOR INNOCENT MAN WHO WAS FORGOTTEN BY HIS OLD LOVER UGHHH. This lets the episode end with haran asking chan who he really was and how she knew him. MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU NOT REMEMBER HIM, LIKE HIS FACE DIDNT CHANGE, HIS VOICE DIDNT CHANGE NOTHING CHANGED, OTHER THAN HIS HAIRCUT AND CLOTHING STYLE. EVEN HIS NAME DIDNT CHANGE SO HOW DO YOU NOT RECOGNISE SOMEONE YOU SAID YOU LOVED?? LIKE I GET THAT YOU THINK HE DIED, BUT ARENT THERE TOO MANY COINCIDENCES??

Long after "the incident"

I think any show should begin on a note that makes the viewer curious and want to continue watching it. This show is so well-scripted and screen-adapted that it would make the audience want to keep coming back to observe the subtle details about the main protagonists' lives and how they have almost always mirrored each other's seasons, just in the opposite way. There are winter paintings and a dark aura in Sunwoo Chan's hostel room, just like the Sisley painting HaRan keeps staring at where Sunwoo Chan first coincidentally runs into HaRan. HaRan's cold heart resembles Seonu Chan's coldness that he had lived with before he had had the opportunity to know someone like her, before the incident shook her.
