The much-anticipated drama series When Life Gives You Tangerines is set to air on Netflix on 7 March.
Featuring a stellar cast, including IU, Park Bo-gum, Moon So-ri, and Park Hae-joon, the series is set to showcase the talents of the renowned producer Kim Won-suk (Misaeng: Incomplete Life, Signal, My Mister) and screenwriter Lim Sang-chun (Becky’s Back, Fight for My Way, When the Camellia Blooms).
When Life Gives You Tangerines chronicles the adventures of Ae-sun, “the remarkable rebel,” and Gwan-sik, whose nickname means “unyielding iron,” in Jeju Island - including Gwan-sik’s long-standing crush on Ae-sun 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.
IU plays Ae-sun, a determined rebel who continuously defies her fate, marking this as her second collaboration with producer Kim Won-suk. Park Bo-gum brings Gwan-sik to life, a steadfast man who shows his sincere affection through his actions. Adding depth to the plot, Moon So-ri and Park Hae-joon will portray the older versions of Ae-sun 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 Netflix's Korean original series lineup.
