“When Netflix released When Life Gives You Tangerines in the spring of 2025, expectations were high. With actors IU and Park Bo-Gum headlining and Jeju Island as a cinematic backdrop, the series teased a light-hearted romance tinged with emotional weight and the tear-jerking moments, typical of a Korean drama. However, as the weeks in March passed, audiences were instead treated to something much richer — a tender, slow-burning story spanning five decades, bringing the quiet complexities of life and human connection to the screen.”
