The Story

A fashion designer has spent the last seven years in mourning after the death of her first love. When she meets a cheerful animator who comes to her company to work on a collaboration, she feels a strange pull of familiarity that threatens to pull her out of her self-imposed prison. But as the secret of their tangled past begins to reveal itself, they will both be forced to face the wounds that bind them together.

Should I Watch

'In Your Radiant Season' is a an emotional romantic drama with a surprising mystery twist. The drama is cinematically beautiful and the characters are interestingly complicated. The secondary cast is strong and the themes of family and the inevitable seasons of life are well integrated through the overall plot. The story felt unique and the unpredictable.

But the plot is pretty slow moving, particularly in the middle. And although I enjoyed the leads, many felt like their chemistry was weak compared to the supporting cast couples. There are also a large amount of flashbacks, which can make the pace feel even more slow and repetitive. But if you like a slow burn love story with an unusual twist, this one is well-written and emotionally satisfying. I give 'In Your Radiant Season' 3 out of 5 ramen.
