Actors Lee Sung-kyung and Chae Jong-hyeop, Lee Mi-sook and Kang Seok-woo met in a romance movie.

On the afternoon of the 19th, a production presentation for MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "In Your Season" (script Cho Sung-hee, director Jung Sang-hee, and Kim Young-jae) was held at the MBC Golden Mouse Hall in Sangam, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Sung-kyung, Chae Jong-hyeop, Lee Mi-sook, Kang Seok-woo, Han Ji-hyun, Oh Ye-ju and Jung Sang-hee attended.

"In Your Season" depicts an unpredictable "brilliant" romance in which "Chan," a man who lives like an exciting summer vacation every day, and "Ran," a woman who locked herself in winter, meet like fate and wake up the frozen time. Writer Cho Sung-hee, the master of romance, who wrote "Thirty but Seventeen," "She Was Pretty," and "The High School King," and producer Jung Sang-hee, who was recognized for her delicate directing skills through "Send a Fan Letter" and "Wonderful World," joined forces.

Lee Sung-kyung played Song Ha-ran, the head designer of the nation's top high-end fashion house "Nana Atelier" in the play. Haran is a person who lives with a hard shield that no one can easily enter due to the deep wounds of the past. It looks cold and perfect, but behind it is the fear of losing a precious person. Chae Jong-hyeop plays the role of Sun Woo-chan, an animator from Can Animation Studios. Sunwoo-chan is a person who leads the surroundings with bright and positive energy, but behind it lies a painful memory that is not easily confided to anyone.

Lee Mi-sook and Kang Seok-woo, who encountered each other in about 40 years after the movie "Winter Traveler," present a deep twilight romance through "In Your Season." Lee Mi-sook plays Kim Na-na, Korea's first-generation fashion designer and head of "Nana Atelier," and Kang Seok-woo plays Park Man-jae, a barista who runs a cafe "Rest" in a quiet alley. The second Song Ha-young, played by Han Ji-hyun, is a junior designer in the "Nana Atelier" design team 1, who has a pleasant and cool personality. Behind it is a realistic second-born face that bears deeper wounds than anyone else. Oh Ye-joo plays the youngest Song Ha-dam and delicately portrays the cute and reliable youngest to the inner growth narrative that hides the wound.

Producer Jung Sang-hee introduced "In Your Bright Season," "Our work is a winter overcoming romance that overcomes the winter that everyone will go through at least once." Producer Jeong said, "I tried to pay attention to the sense of season, and I tried to pay attention to the place and art as the part that I paid most attention to directing in this work. I tried to show the winter in my heart in real life," he said.

Producer Jung said, "Any episode can be told in one story. It shows not only couple stories but also various relationships such as grandmothers and granddaughters. I wanted to show it in a drama these days for the first time in a while, and I thought it was attractive. Like the movie 'Love Actually', I tried to make each person's charm look neat. I'm confident," he stressed. He added, "I'm going to show you that spring will come when winter comes, and I'll be able to overcome it in time."

Regarding "In Your Bright Season," Lee Sung-kyung said, "There are many narratives that are curious about how it will unfold, not a melodrama with a fixed answer. It shows the process of unraveling the story of not only two people but also their families," he said.

Chae Jong-hyeop said, "The love line caught my eye" as the reason for appearing on "In Your Bright Season." What season are you passing by?It was like a question for me to say '. I came to think a lot about the question that matched life and season," he said. He then said, "I was curious about how to solve other people's stories." When asked what season he seems to be living, he said, "I feel like I'm living in a cold season. I like winter, and I think I've shown everyone's wounds and pains in winter," he said.

Lee Mi-sook said of the charm of "In Your Brilliant Season," "This drama seems a little descriptive and drowsy, but it makes you look back on your own season in it. It seems that there is only a brilliant season when you are young, but it shows that even those who enter the twilight can face a brilliant season," he said. Lee Mi-sook and Kang Seok-woo met in "In Your Season" for the first time in more than 40 years since the mega-hit movie "Winter Traveler" in 1986. Lee Mi-sook said, "It was so nice to meet you. (Kang Seok-woo) is very mature and has a lot to learn on the field. There is not much twilight romance in the works these days, and this works show that I can start my life again with my choices and responsibilities. I think I met the right people," he said.

Kang Seok-woo said as the reason for his appearance on "In Your Bright Season," "Last year, I wondered if it was over for an actor because my grades were not good with "The End of the Apocalypse." I thought it might be no exception, but the way I met director Jung Sang-hee and looked at the world was so beautiful. Above all, I thought that Lee Mi-sook would be able to meet again after 40 years and wrap up the story this time." He then confessed, "I was happy to see Lee Mi-sook talking to her for the first time in 40 years, and I stopped thinking about quitting acting."

Attention is focusing on whether "In Your Season" will continue the success of MBC's previous work "Judge Lee Han-young," which recorded a highest viewership of 13.6%. Producer Jung expressed confidence, saying, "It's a different result from the previous work, but I think we can do well because our own completeness is excellent." Lee Sung-kyung said, "When I was doing Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo 10 years ago, the match table was no joke. I feel the same way when I make a work, then and now. First of all, the idea is to make this work well without being shy. "What is certain is that you can have a 'deep illness'," he said.

Chae Jong-hyeop draws attention by presenting his work in Korea for the first time in a long time after his popularity in Japan soared as the Japanese drama "Eye Love You" became popular. "I'm doing a drama in Korea for the first time in a while, and I've been filming every time with the mindset of debuting again with small details," Chae Jong-hyeop said. "I'm happy that the previous work went well, and I want to be influenced by it so that it permeates you with our own colors, smells and emotions." Chae Jong-hyeop said, "I actually thought this work was more of a growth than a romance. He explained, "Chan wants to deliver the spring he went through."

Chae Jong-hyeop said, "In fact, everyone calls pain winter and doesn't seem to heal completely. He said, "I live with it covered well, but I thought Chan was that kind of person, and I think he is a person who continues to be influenced by Haran."

With the charm of the drama, Lee Mi-sook said, "I thought it would be a cool drama that combines generations that are rare, showing the lives of grandmothers and granddaughters without their mothers." Kang Seok-woo said, "I heard this drama is going out in Japan. Along with Chae Jong-hyeop, he added, "I expect us to be called 'immature hime' and 'Seoksama'," drawing laughter.

"In Your Brilliant Season" will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the 20th.
