A thai production which is not bad at all...
When I hear Thailand., WeTV and BL I just asume it will be maybe an ok show but this time even a thai production can surprise me. With actors from Korea (and from a korean web novel and filmed in Korea) they did create something different this time around.While a tropé of enemies to lovers or even amnesia is nothing new, the premise starts quite different and the title is misleading. They were never enemies, they just had a rocky road to be a couple. Some misunderstandings did prevail in their relationsship and the amnesia is an outlet to also solve them.
There are some inconsistencies with the amnesia story plot, because it seems the way from his rejection of his past and becoming a couple again happens to fast. Amnesia does not work like that. Also in the production I felt the café and the bar were lifeless which reminded me of Sukfilm/Truefilm productions when only two or three characters are in the scene at an made up location. It breaks the immersion and should have done better.
For their first main roles the MLs did a very good job, they had chemistry and worked very hard even when sometimes it felt a bit off. But compared to most other thai shows where characters are shallow, their characters had a story and personality. They both excelled at the silent moments and even with the kissing and NC-scenes.
So overall this was a good show. It's far from perfect but it's a pleasant departure from most of the other thai shows. While there is a high school part in it through flashbacks, it's a mature story. A story to grow together again and with some thriller elements (because it was not an accident). If you are tired of the same old, same old, this is a refreshing series to watch. One recommendation: You should binge-watch this series, watching one episode per week or even two epsisodes per week could make you confused because they have flashbacks through out the series to explain the past. For me it was not hard to follow but you will forget some things when you take a break for a longer time.

Great one and must watch if you are a true K-drama fan
Tbh I didn't felt the last episode rushed off or the whole drama boring... How beautifully and tactfully they ended the series that too on a high note with all our favourite couples getting their happy endings... Such a soothing one... And as I had said earlier, they did it too good especially with main leads and that proposal scene... Also kudos to the writers for not making the misunderstandings and break up scenes too long and make them reunite fast... Also the Sunwoo Chan's POV scenes to tell Song Ha Ran his side of story, were so beautifully executed... I mean if someone is reading my review right now, and if you have not started the drama yet, you definitely missing something extraordinary and if you have already started it, then don't hesitate because the ending will satisfy you... It was really so perfect loved every bit of it... Good ost, good cinematography, good characters everything was beautiful from beginning to the end... Love how the sisters and grandma all represented a particular season... But I still think this drama deserves a 16 episode ending, so that we could enjoy more...Was this review helpful to you?

Missed potential
Well I really was looking forward to watching this drama. I thought the actors were great. All of the characters had well developed stories for the most part. But, there was just too much misunderstandings. The main couple never talked straight with each other. Maybe the fl had depression in the family, but she was really hard to deal with. I thought she had a lot going for herself but never really figured it out. The story line was frustrating because the ml, who had great potential kept get dragged backwards. I thought the job of train engineer was fitting because he kept going in circles. I want to infer a happy ending because ml puts fl’s name plate on the house at the end. I’m glad it was only 10 episodes.Was this review helpful to you?

Forecasting a 100% chance of Rain~
Of course it was violent. Of course it was bloody. Of course there were dipictions of mindless cruelty. Of course it was full of omg, wtf, did that just happen, holy shite, are you kidding me moments!! It's Not a drama for the faint of heart. It was brutal. There was torture. But It was also matched with scenes of kindness, the pain of loss, brotherhood, and the bonds of friends who have become irreplaceable family~And acting doesn't just come down to saying a few lines while walking around. The action was absolutely insane. What's that phrase. High octane? And we're talking about multiple, extended fight scenes all around. Wasn't just the two leads, there was a shite ton battles on the side by supporting cast members as well. Had some surprising cameos.......and the one in ep 7 was very unexpected .........and f'n awesome~
This one had to live up to the raw adrenaline of the first and it was accomplished. The only thing I saw was that with the international mix being added, how many battle scenes could have been solved with a few guns?? As in the 1st, there were a couple things guns could've resolved but oh well.
It was action, acting, and more action. Very entertaining watch~
Hints of a season 3???..........

A Radiant Journey Through Healing and Hope
You know those dramas that just stay with you? This is definitely one of them. It’s a story about life, healing, and finding light even when things feel heavy. The way the characters grow throughout the episodes is so beautiful to watch.The chemistry between the leads is 10/10! From the very beginning, you can tell there’s something special there. It’s not forced or rushed; it’s a natural, slow-burn connection that feels incredibly real. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a couple with such genuine, effortless chemistry.
If you need a drama that feels like a warm hug, don't miss this one! In Your Radiant Season reminds us that even after the harshest winter, spring always finds a way to bloom.

definitely 10/10! Season 2 is so peak!
I’m soo impressed with this season! The level of power, coolness, and vividness of the events has not changed at all! Everything was on top! The acting was excellent! The plot and its execution were brilliant! It may not be for the faint of heart, as there is a lot of blood and prolonged fights, but for fans of action movies, this drama is a real gem!The ending hints at a new season, and to be honest, this show could be watched forever. If the second season had not been as good as the first, there would have been no point in continuing it. However, in this case, the second season is on par with the first, and I’m eagerly awaiting the new season!
I’d like to highlight the pure-hearted nature of Geon-u! He’s an incredible character, sincere and simple-minded. WooDo Hwan's portrayal of Geon-u's heavy burden, fears, and concerns is truly captivating. As you watch, you feel the guilt and the weight of his choices. Lee Sang-yi's character (U Jin) is equally sincere and bright. The way Geon-u's mother became his mother is heart-wrenching. He also struggles, but as an older brother, he must show strength and determination. He has always been a steadfast support and faith for Geon-u. Their mutual support has helped them overcome all challenges.
The emphasis on family and its significance in this drama is truly remarkable. The characters' care for each other is truly touching.
There are countless advantages to this drama, and it is definitely worth watching.

Pathetic
1. Illogical plot.2.childish execution
3. Third class acting (FL was specifically horrible)
4. Forced comedy
5. No chemistry
6. Cheap makeup and styling.
A complete time waste ... I suggest you it's better you watch your paint dry instead of watching this crap. I guess Meng En was the only one committed to his work in the entire team.

Doing your best on your worst
Its suffused with the kind of realism most drama watchers loathe and in a way that's it's best attribute. Aggravating and slow, there's a kind of fondness i have built for these characters over the past few weeks and its bittersweet ending is made to be just that; bittersweet. I could go on about how beautiful it is from a technical standpoint too since it compliments every scene and mood for that scene. The golden autumnal sunlight in the first few episodes were magic. It makes up for the perfect storm for something I would consider incredible art. Certainly do watch this at your own doom. I came to it with an understanding of being someone who has once experienced such a thing. If just like me you also have suffered perils of low commitment high maintenance situationships/relationships then yay watch it. It at least gives you the guidance to not betray your memories. I was enamored in particular to subtle quiet love each person gave the other. There's so much tenderness amidst the hurt and I think that's what made this incredibly life like and incredibly approachable to me. The actors did a phenomenal job bringing such a thing to the screen and in such a real manner as well. I often feel bogged down by the artificiality and contrived nature of dramas as of late. So this was a breath of fresh air.Was this review helpful to you?

This is a life nobody deserved!
Love JinYoung! His acting is amazing, but this drama was so frustrating.Timing, short conversations, not opening up, years go by and still in the same place. As adults time keeps going by and everything is the same, so much love to live in angst, sadness, waiting, yearning, remembering and nothing changes. How can a relationship of love hold this? When two can decide breaking up or get together and try to be happy while it’s there. So many years wasted, when he could have moved on or have a life with her and even after all this they will wait for each other!
Life is much more than this!! Move on!

The Pursuit of Jade was a visual delight. The costumes were beautiful, in particular the royal outfits worn by the Princess Royal and everything worn by the Marquis. (His furs, the l-o-n-g pheasant feathers!) The Marquis, played by Zhang Linghe, was jaw-droppingly handsome but, really, almost everyone was beautiful. All of the couples (including the one with the evil prince) had intense chemistry. I also thought that much of the cinematography and music were gorgeous.However (Warning: Spoilers Ahead)
I’m not sure about the ending(s). Why was there a “what if” storyline tacked onto the official ending? Regardless of whether it was in the original book, it might have been better to leave it out of the drama because it seemed to diminish the prior 39 episodes. I thought that the first ending had problems, too. For example, the Marquis becomes Prince Regent and the General becomes a big important general but they go back to the village and, it seems, work remotely??? Further, my favorite parts of Chinese historical dramas are the political struggles and maneuverings but here they never approach the intensity or tension and satisfying resolution of other historical dramas such as Blossom or The Legend of Zhang Hai or Nirvana in Fire (okay, the last is an impossibly high standard).
But I would recommend Pursuit of Jade if you are looking for a very romantic and visually stunning historical drama.

Slice of Life, Fun Watch
This was a very fun and quick watch! I recommend anyone looking for something to get through quickly.Actors were on point, music was entertaining. The story kept reeling me in, especially the developing investigation. Loved it! There wasnt anything I disliked, there were moments where they build up momentum and I was sitting on the edge of my chair, to only discover it wasn't all that bad, good ending!

A spring breeze eventually comes...HEARTFELT DRAMA!
This is what i love about kdramas... the little moments of hope that shine between the cold and desperate seasons of life.No one does it like kdramas!
PROS:
-CHARACTERS: While the story seems very simple, What sets this kdrama apart is the characters wholesomeness.
we can't help but really get attached to Chan's way of smiling through everything. And Haran!! powerful play by our FL... her winter characterization was spot on. the fear of thinking something bad would always happen to spoil your happiness, or feeling that you don't deserve happiness were poignant and well delivered!
-VISUALS: everything is stunning and full of symbolism!
- The nuance of leaving things out: the dilemmas and tough choices Chan was going through in how to help Haran or clarify things( also other characters went through similar dilemmas) were realistic!
-SEASONS: The theme of seasons is also very well integrated. in the animations, the cinematography, the snow... We can't help but feel hopeful in our own journey through seasons while watching our main characters Chan and Haran heal each other at different seasons...
-COUPLES: honorable mention to all secondary couples and the symbolism of each sister, shining in their own way!
Cons:
INTRUIGUE: the main tension in the story gets dragged way too much. As a viewer, i was so ready for that secret to pop by half of the episodes! too many replays of same moments...
FAIRYTALE: this is part of the kdrama magic... all the coincidences that happen to make the plot moving in a certain convenient direction. I usually don't mind it too much, because its fun and dreamy! but it was overdone a few time here. I did appreciate when the characters were partially responsible for making some coincidences work.. but the big letdown is that the drama and tension didn't feel sustained. As if they all had some fluff and soft wrap around them!
QUOTES:
many moments feel like a warm hug...while you probably saw quotes on the seasons and radiance, or having walls around us... i have to quote our youngest couple ' we can cry about it later, but for now we can try'
and also our ML saying' a spring breeze eventually comes...'
this show wasn't about a pretty perfect, but about being there for each other in the most supportive way.
LOVED IT !

The "Sleep-Sacrifice" Elite
Rating: 9.5/10I am officially at a loss. I don’t know what to do with my life now that this is over. 💔
I’ll be honest: I’m actually quite new to the romcom genre I’ve only really been invested in them since January 2026 but this drama had some kind of magic in it. I had been waiting for it to finish airing just so I could binge the whole thing at once. Even though the very last episode hadn't dropped yet, I reached my limit and decided it was finally time to invest my life into it.
I am a notoriously strict rater, and I’m the person who almost always skips the second lead subplots because they usually feel like filler. But not here. For the first time, I didn't skip a single second. I didn't even want to. All three lead stories were so beautiful, healing, and genuinely engaging that they kept me locked in. Every single character was a "green flag" they were all so incredibly likeable.
The Binge Stats:
Sleep: Zero. I pulled my first-ever drama all-nighter for this.
Pacing: 10/10. Not a single "draggy" moment in all 11 episodes.
I was fully bracing myself for a "K-trauma" ending (which is usually what I need for a 10/10), but surprisingly, it stayed healing until the very end. Even though the finale felt a bit "normal" compared to the high stakes emotional wreckage I usually crave, the journey itself was so addictive that it earned this score.
It’s a near masterpiece. The only reason it’s not a 10 is because I’m saving that slot for the dramas that leave me emotionally scarred but for a healing romcom to make me sacrifice my sleep and fall in love with every character? Absolute peak entertainment.

Badass manipulative girl boss getting revenge in 3secs
I actually liked it a lot. Mc was always one step ahead of her enemies and she always knew what to do and say. Everyone played inti her hand and she watched. If she hadn’t chosen to be a house wife herself i think she would be a ruthless business owner/spy lmao. I just didn’t like the ending and i think 5 years of loveless marriage was too much at least make it 3 my girl spent all her beautiful years with a douchebag. It’s a snack drama if you want to watch some nice paced short face slapping and getting revenge.Was this review helpful to you?
