Lee Sung-kyung Captivates Viewers with Her Role in 'Your Glorious Season'

Lee Sung-kyung, who recently signed with Fantagio, has captivated viewers with her stable portrayal of her character from the very first episode.

Debuting as an actress in 2014, Lee Sung-kyung took on the role of 'Song Ha-ran,' the chief designer of the country's top high-end fashion house 'Nana Atelier,' in MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Your Glorious Season,' which premiered on the 20th. Song Ha-ran is a character who has locked herself in winter due to inner wounds, and Lee Sung-kyung immediately drew viewers in with her multi-dimensional portrayal from the first episode.

Ha-ran closed her heart after losing her boyfriend in an accident seven years ago, fearing that she could bring misfortune to others. Her cold demeanor, replacing her once bright and warm personality, suggests that she is still living with deep scars.

Ha-ran initially doubted the sudden appearance of Sun-woo Chan (played by Chae Jong-hyeop), but as unexpected coincidences between them continued, she began to lower her guard. From the bright and radiant charm in her memories to her current emotionally drained state, and even the anxiety she feels after losing her precious drawing pen, Lee Sung-kyung delicately portrayed these contrasting emotions, making it impossible for viewers to look away.

Lee Sung-kyung's true talent shone in scenes without dialogue. Her trembling eyes contrasting with her cold actions, the emotions she only releases in her private attic, and her caring nature as an older sister to her siblings all vividly captured Ha-ran's narrative. With her dense expressiveness, Lee Sung-kyung has proven her 'glorious' acting spectrum, raising expectations for her future performances.

'Your Glorious Season' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
