Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring
14 epsDramaFantasyRomance

In a world where seasons were once a solitary existence, Winter's loneliness inspired the creation of Spring, and eventually, Summer and Autumn. As the earth craved more balance, the cycle of the seasons was born, with the Agents of the Four Seasons serving as its guardians. Among them, Hinagiku, the enigmatic Agent of Spring, vanished a decade ago, leaving behind a world devoid of spring's vibrancy. Now, after a decade of hardship, she returns to restore the natural order, and with it, a long-forgotten myth is rekindled - her love for Winter.
