Summary
Before Autumn Comes is a contemporary romance that portrays a love born from a hidden terminal illness, and the profound regret of a man who only realizes his true feelings after that love has already ended. Built on a melodramatic structure with high emotional density, the story captures how love takes root even in the depths of despair.
After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, Eunseong impulsively begins a relationship with Seungjin, a man who explicitly wants to avoid emotional commitment. From the outset, the relationship is defined by an inevitable ending—one both are aware of. A love entered knowingly, a predetermined farewell, and a season that will never return. After the relationship ends, Seungjin’s belated realization of the truth and his emotions, and the regret that follows, becomes the core emotional throughline of the narrative.
The series draws on proven contemporary romance tropes—terminal illness and the regretful male lead—while introducing a regression element in the final act to create both differentiation and lasting emotional impact. Rather than a light romance, Before Autumn Comes centers on choices in love, loss, and late-blooming realization, forming a romance IP that deeply resonates with the emotional consumption patterns of female readers in their 30s and 40s.
