The movie "In your radiant season" (Vietnamese title: Mua em ruc ro) revolves around the story of Song Ha Ran (Lee Sung Kyung) - the main designer at Nana Atelier, a leading high-end fashion brand in Korea and Sunwoo Chan (Chae Jong Hyeop) - an animator who just returned from the US.
The healing-colored work of MBC station aired the first 2 episodes on the evenings of February 20 and 21, recording viewership ratings of 4.4% and 3.5%. Although this number is only at an average level, however, Korean media and audiences gave many positive feedbacks on "Mùa em rực rỡ".
Besides the plot, setting, costumes, the harmony between Lee Sung Kyung and Chae Jong Hyeop is a highly appreciated factor.
On screen, Lee Sung Kyung brings the audience 2 contrasting images - a bright, active and happy Ha Ran during her time studying abroad in the US, and a closed, cold, lonely Ha Ran in the present. Besides her deep acting, the trendy fashion style of the character Ha Ran also scores points with the audience.
With Chae Jong Hyeop, he expresses 2 shades of the role Sunwoo Chan - a person who was once quiet and dark in the laboratory and now becomes a warm and dynamic cartoonist. The actor said that instead of separating the joy and hurt of the character, he focuses on narrowing that distance naturally and truthfully.
According to the plot, Ha Ran and Sunwoo Chan used to have a relationship in the past. 7 years ago, the person Ha Ran often chatted with online was actually Sunwoo Chan, not her boyfriend at that time - Kang Hyuk Chan. Because they were in the same room, Hyuk Chan often asked Sunwoo Chan to reply to his girlfriend's messages instead of him.
Even the gift Hyuk Chan gave Ha Ran was also a gift that Sunwoo Chan went to buy and asked a carpenter to engrave his name for him. After the explosion, Hyuk Chan passed away, while Sunwoo Chan also lost his hearing in one ear, forgetting a part of his memory. 7 years later, he returned to Korea, and met Ha Ran again through a project.
After misunderstandings, Sunwoo Chan is willing to face the past, and hopes to help Ha Ran have a radiant spring and become happy - just like the way she once helped him escape 2 times trapped in the past. However, Sunwoo Chan's actions surprised the female lead.
Previously, sharing about the work, Lee Sung Kyung said she was immersed in the story, especially the way the two main characters learn to love each other in circumstances where love is not easy. Meanwhile, Chae Jong Hyeop revealed that the opening line of the film: "Which season are you in your life?" haunted him and made him decide to participate.
With the production team, they hope that the film's story and the fragments of memories of the 2 main characters will bring viewers a warm and complete spring.
