"When Life Gives You Tangerines" chronicles the adventures of Ae-soon, "the remarkable rebel", and Gwan-sik, whose nickname means "unyielding iron", in Jeju Island, including Gwan-sik's long-standing crush on Ae-soon since they were young. The series' Korean title pays homage to the Jeju dialect, translating to "thank you for your hard work", lending cultural authenticity to the narrative.
Lee Ji-eun ("My Mister", "Hotel Del Luna", "Broker", "Dream - 2020") beautifully embodies Ae-soon, a determined rebel who continuously defies her fate, marking this as her second collaboration with producer Kim Won-seok. Park Bo-gum ("Love in the Moonlight", "Encounter", "Record of Youth") brings Gwan-sik to life, a steadfast man who shows his sincere affection through his actions. Adding depth to the plot, Moon So-ri ("Three Sisters", "Queenmaker", "Race") and Park Hae-joon ("My Mister", "The World of the Married", "12.12: The Day") portray the older versions of Ae-soon and Gwan-sik, respectively.
With heightened expectations due to its acclaimed creators and star-studded cast, "When Life Gives You Tangerines" is set to be a remarkable addition to the Korean original series lineup, coming exclusively to Netflix.
