The Light in Your Eyes[4] (Korean: 눈이 부시게; RR: Nun-i Busige) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Han Ji-min, Kim Hye-ja, Nam Joo-hyuk, and Son Ho-jun.

It is also one of the highest-rated Korean dramas in cable television history.
To prevent her father from dying in a car accident, Kim Hye Ja manipulates time with a special watch she found at a beach as a child. However, manipulating time comes with a heavy price- Hye Ja will age each time she turns back time. Meanwhile, a young man named Lee Joon Ha who has a beautiful friendship with Hye Ja, is exhausted from his family problems and has given up on all his dreams. He now works as a scammer at an elderly care center unaware that Hye Ja has become an old lady and goes there to pass time after turning old for manipulating time. The two cross each other’s paths again, but this time both have changed.
The first script reading took place on September 26, 2018 at JTBC Building in Sangam-dong, Seoul, South Korea.[13]
