At 8,5 this is the highest rated MDL score so far this year, I believe.

Back up to 8.5. Most likely because of Disney airing final episode.

I knew after the excellent last episode that once again the MDL rating would go up. It is 8.4 now and perhaps it will rise to 8.5. On idmb, In Your Radiant Season, stands at 8.0 which is very high for a Kdrama. While it's viewership rating has been moderate in Korea, internationally on Disney/Hulu it has preformed very well. In addition all the reviews of the drama are excellent. My big regret is that the powers that be decided to put this on the Disney platform. That was a big mistake! On Netflix and Viki this drama would have had a much bigger platform.

This drama is going to be like a fine wine. It will age well and be a kdrama that will grow in popularity as time goes by. Why do I say that? Well the story is wonderful. The family values and the importance of friendship it shows warms the heart. It's great message that by love you can be lifted out of your cold winter into spring is timeless. And finally it's visuals. In my hunble opinion the visuals of the three sisters will not touched by any other kdrama. In Your Radiant Season is worth watching just to look at them. Lee Sung Kyung the most beaurtiful woman over 30 in Korea. Oh Yeju the most beautiful woman under 30 in Korea. Han Ji Hyeon the cutest woman in Korea. And last but certainly not least the timeless Lee Mi Sook the most beautiful Grandmother you could imagine.

I guess we are going to have a reunion. Kim Tae Young has just been cast in the drama Awakening where Oh Ye Ju is the FL along with Ryu Da In. The male lead is Lee Jun Hyuk. It is set to air at the beginning of 2027.

In light of all the angst going on how this drama is going is going to end, I would like to post this picture of how I think the drama will end for all of our couples in "In Your Radaint Season" world: https://x.com/juuo_s2/status/2037536486162387350/photo/2

This picture says it all about this couple. Once again Oh Yeju has shown that she is Chemistry Queen for young Korean Actors. First it was Monn Sang Min, then Hong Minki and now (talk about luck for a first role) Kim Tae Young. Here is the picture: https://x.com/cullensh_/status/2037556453700190659

Amidst all the angst, the one sweet spot was Hadam and her man. The producers of the show said that their storyline was classic pure love. They weren't kidding. It was great that he didn't have to keep a the secret with Hadam anymore. Do you notice that he is already a member of the family? They are the perfect couple. Brains, athletic ability, strong morals, and visuals where I can't see a flaw. Good Lord, they both meet about every criteria there is for men and women in the essential Korean Beauty Standards.

As for our main couple, of course we all new this was going to happen Their love for each other has to slog through his hesitancy to come clean which only made the misunderstanding so deep it will last at least an episode or even an episode and a half. The only question is how long it will take for the true character of her first boyfriend to come to light.

By far the saddest couple is HeYeong and Yeon Tae. My heart breaks for this girl who is so bubbly on the outside that covers so much hurt on the inside. Yeon Tae needs to come out of his winter. The heart of the series is that Ha Ran has been in winter for 7 years, but this guy has been in winter ever since the sister's parents fatal crash. Yeon Tae time to come into the light.

I think most find them charming. Plus visually they are stunning. He is a brand new actor and is doing great. Oh Yeju is a really good actress (watch her performance in My Lonely Sister were she won the KBS award for best actress in a drama special). In every drama she is in, she produces great chemistry. She did it with Moon Sangmin in Under the Queens Umbrella, and perhaps even more so with Hong Minki in Love Your Enemy, where they both stole the drama.

I agree with you half way. Indeed the Mother was cold and a bit heartless. But let's remember that her daughter was raised by a wonderful Grandmother, who taught her to live life to it's fullest. Her gift of eyesight was touching and wonderful. It was an act of forgiveness and redemption for Mom. The truth is we all need a little forgiveness and redemption in our lives.

To each his or her own. For me, I love all the couples for different reasons. Personally my favorites are the 2nd couple because of the sisters downright cuteness and the 3rd couple -- if love could always stay so pure and innocent. The MC's story is complicated and lacks some honesty on the ML's part, but their story line is very compeling.

Don't worry the drama is doing just fine. This quote is from the Google Chrome AI feature, Domestic Performance: The drama premiered with a 4.4% nationwide viewership rating, reaching a peak of 5.4% during its debut episode's climactic ending. Since then, ratings have fluctuated between 2.9% and 4.3% through its first six episodes.
Global Streaming: It has been a consistent performer on international charts, with lead actress Lee Sung-kyung recently climbing to number one on cast charts due to the show's rising popularity.
Audience Reception: The series holds a high user rating of 8.9/10 on IMDb, where viewers frequently praise the "insane chemistry" between leads Lee Sung-kyung and Chae Jong-hyeop. :

This is your second post trashing Oh Yeju. I don't get it? Her acting was touching, so was her story. And she is stunning looking. Oh well, to each his own.

I don't know she danced pretty well to Hype Boy. She is a good actress. And she looks alot better than the first ghost.

Even as a ghost Oh Yeju is beautiful.

I have posted this before, Oh Yeju is a chemistry princess who propels good looking actors into the fast lane. She did it with Moon Sangmin in Under the Queens Umbrella, with Hong Minki in Love Your Enemy, and now who can doubt that she is moving Kim Tae Young onto the launch pad. She is finally getting a lead part in the SBS drama Awakening that is going to air first part of next year. The male lead there is Lee Jun Hyuk. At just 21 years old, she has quite a career ahead of her!

I like all the couples! In addition the bond between the three sisters is wonderful, as is their bond with Grandmother. Drama has great family chemistry and great romantic chemistry all the way around.

Looking forward to having Oh Yeju in this drama for the next couple of episodes. Every kdrama she has been in she lights up the screen. The chemistry she produced with Moon Sangmin in Under the Queen's Umbrella and with Hong Minki in Love Your Enemy helped to put their careers in fast mode. She is slated for her first leading role in "Awakening" where the male lead is Lee Jun Hyuk. I bet that will be the first of many leading roles for this talented young actress (she's 21).

I read alot about tropes in dramas like this. The truth is a romcom wouldn't be a romcom without them. In that sense every Korean romcom is filled with tropes, in other words dramas like this are "tropey." But that is not a bad thing. The question is how the tropes are done, how they fit into the story and how they move the drama forward. In my opinion this drama does a really good job with the tropes it uses to make the story move forward and enhance the chemistry.

So when someone says this is tropey -- well ok, what else is new? But in hands of a screen writer like Jo Sung Hee I say great! The last time I have seen romantic tropes used so effectively was in drama like Still Seventeen. What a surprise. LOL
