#WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines tops my list of #kdrama shows. Beautifully written, performed and shot. A decades long journey about parents and children, enduring love, resilience and loss. Gwan-Sik just set the bar on ML characters going forward. I can’t recommend this one highly enough.

#IU becomes the first actress to lead multiple dramas surpassing 50% Buzz Worthiness on FUNdex.
#PerfectCrownd: 50.98%
#WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines: 50.71%
Congratulations Queen! 💅🏻
Just hours away from the premiere of #PerfectCrown, so it feels like the right time to look back at our lead’s past dramas. My favorite #IU kdrama is #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines but her best performance is #MyMister. My least favorite is #BelAmi. #LeeJieun

Day 6 #chinguchallenge Family
I almost choose #Familybychoice because I love found family stories.
But #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines exist. And is not just an amazing love story. It gives us the good and the bad about family. The laughts, the fears and the tears. It's such a beautiful #kdrama.
eu ainda nem superei direito #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines kkkkk esse vai ser mais um pra abalar as minhas estruturas
I'm currently rewatching #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines #kdrama and I'm still astounded, because I just adore it all! Everything is perfect, the story, the cast, the locations, the music!
It's also one of the most profoundly accurate depictions of grief I've ever watched.
I find it a huge comfort 💗🥲
Park Bogum in When Life Gives You Tangerines. The lighting is dark. He is wearing a rai slicker. He is staring at something off camera. His mouth is slack and his eyes are bleak.
At one point I asked myself, when was the last time I saw an actor show so much grief in a kdrama?
Oh yeah, it was #ParkBoGum in #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines. If you’ve seen it, you know the scene I mean.
Hace un año en plena crisis, llegó un drama que coloque a la altura de "My Ahjussi" "My liberation notes" y de "Lost"
Drama donde #ParkBoGum se hizo visible
#WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines será por y para siempre "el drama" hasta que se convierta en clásico

#WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines
Started #LoveStoryinthe1970s. The female lead’s energy and tenacity in the first episode reminded me of #IU and the masterpiece of #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines, though I’m sure it will change as the story unfolds. Onto the next episode. #SunQian #ArthurChen
(1) In the last few months since I started watching #kdramas for the first time, I've since finished these dramas:
#SquidGame, #CrashLandingOnYou, #Penthouse, #MoonLovers, #DescendantsOfTheSun, #Trigger, #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines, #TheDevilJudge, #Healer, #AlchemyOfSouls
The drama that actually comes to mind now - funnily enough! -(although it’s slightly different) is IU playing both mother & daughter #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines
I think I remember you saying you liked this drama, which is why I thought of it lol
Eu sou apaixonada pelo talento que é #KimSeonHo.
Acho um camaleão, tão diferente em cada papel, parece pessoas completamente diferentes em #HometownChaChaCha #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines e #CanThisLoveBeTranslated.
Sou fã. 🤍

#YouAndEverythingElse (it broke my heart and I'm still thinking about it ftom time to time) and #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines were the best.
I dropped #OurUnwrittenSeoul but maybe I should finish it? I might drop Cashero 🤔.
And... where is "Heavenly ever after"? 😥

Day 31 #EYDC2025: I can’t choose one so here are few of my fave dramas this year! #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines #GlassHeart #MyDearest #MoonRiver
I think #LoveMe is definitely going to be a drop for me. Dramas like this don’t resonate for me because I’m not really an empathetic person. This is why I couldn’t enjoy dramas like #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines and #OurUnwrittenSeoul I just can’t do them. #Kdrama #KdramaChat

If you’ve ever met me, you’re probably aware I loved #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines. I didn’t shut up about it during the end of year drama challenges in both English and French. I’m not sure I have any more to say about my favorite drama of 2025. 🏆 10/10

#WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines
A beauty of a drama that held its high quality all the way through. Characters that felt real. First love, second chance love, life-long love, the love of parents and children. ❤️ I smiled, I got butterflies, I cried buckets. #EYDC2025
