Kim Nana Prepares for the Future of Nana Atelier Amidst Personal Struggles

Lee Mi-sook Takes Steps for the Future of Nana Atelier.

In the upcoming episode 5 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'In Your Glorious Season,' airing on the 6th, Kim Nana (played by Lee Mi-sook), who is hiding her dementia symptoms, visits Park Man-jae (played by Kang Seok-woo).

Previously, Kim Nana began to suspect dementia as she experienced frequent forgetfulness and lost her way in the middle of a crosswalk. She discovered that Cha Yoo-gyeom (played by Kim Tae-young), the boyfriend of Song Ha-dam (played by Oh Ye-joo), was the student who helped her when she was lost. She asked him to keep this a secret from her family, sharing a confidential bond with him.

The stills released ahead of episode 5 show Kim Nana and Park Man-jae spending a cozy time at Cafe Rest. Kim Nana receives an unexpected gift from Park Man-jae, which he couldn't give her 55 years ago, and smiles brightly. The episode will also reveal the story behind their past separation, sparking curiosity. Additionally, Man-jae suggests a trip to Chuncheon, a place filled with childhood memories, to Nana.

Meanwhile, Cha Yoo-gyeom, who learns about Kim Nana's dementia, takes care of her without revealing the truth to his girlfriend, Song Ha-dam. Although Kim Nana tells Yoo-gyeom not to visit her, she gradually relies on his genuine concern. However, Song Ha-dam misunderstands, thinking Yoo-gyeom is hiding something from her, leading to potential conflict in their relationship.

As her symptoms worsen, Kim Nana decides to start organizing her surroundings. She even considers passing on her Nana Atelier to her eldest granddaughter, Song Ha-ran. Despite her busy schedule with an animation collaboration project, Kim Nana calls Ha-ran to begin serious management lessons, but Ha-ran is puzzled by Nana's sudden change in attitude.

Episode 5 of 'In Your Glorious Season' will air 10 minutes earlier at 9:40 PM due to extended programming. Episode 6 will be postponed due to the broadcast of the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) Korea-Japan match and will air on the 13th at 9:50 PM.
