The Light in Your Eyes, 2019
Director: Kim Sook-yun
Writers: Lee Nam-Kyu and Kim Soo-jin
The gold wristwatch cleverly disguises “The Light in Your Eyes”as a time-travel Kdrama, only to reveal a much deeper narrative. The well-crafted script pulls the rug from under the viewer, transforming youthful fantasies into a profound lesson on living life without regrets.
In the final ten minutes of the first episode, the captivating chemistry between Nam Joohyuk and Han Ji-min takes center stage. The camera lingers on their beautiful faces—vulnerable, intimate, and resolutely determined—creating a scene that resonates deeply. For me, it’s the most memorable moment of the series, perfectly capturing the drama's emotional tension, which lingers throughout until the last episode, where patience and perseverance are rewarded in old age.
“The Light in Your Eyes” is an underrated masterpiece, deserving of your streaming hours. It’s a drama for those who wish to slow down, laugh a little, and cry for catharsis. I did all three!
