Actor Kim Tae-young is stealing the spotlight from his very first role, playing next-generation baseball phenom Cha Yu-gyeom—on the verge of joining the Major Leagues—in MBC’s Friday-Saturday K-Drama In Your Radiant Season.
In Your Radiant Season is created by Namgoong Sung-woo, written by Jo Sung-hee, and directed by Jung Sang-hee and Kim Young-jae, with Pan Entertainment producing. Kim Tae-young’s character, Cha Yu-gyeom, is a former high school baseball star with the talent and temperament to level up to the Majors. His heartfelt promise of an early marriage to his girlfriend Ha-dam—and becoming the only true friend to her grandmother Nana—has moved many viewers to tears.
In a recent episode, Yu-gyeom (played by Kim Tae-young) quietly kept Nana’s suspected dementia under wraps while offering real, hands-on help—bringing warm comfort. His actions deepened his bond with Ha-dam, shaping a relationship that feels like family.
Seamlessly shifting between boyish charm and fiercely protective resolve, Kim Tae-young anchors the character’s journey with solid, grounded acting.
Meanwhile, In Your Radiant Season airs on MBC every Friday at 9:50 p.m. and Saturday at 9:40 p.m.
