When Life Gives You Tangerines breaks away from the usual glitz and glamour of chaebol heirs, fairy-tale romance, and Cinderella transformations. Instead, it brings us something even more precious—an honest, heartfelt story of love and life, woven with the warmth of nostalgia and the beauty of simplicity.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Jeju Island, this drama follows Ae Sun and Gwan Sik, two ordinary yet extraordinary individuals whose love story is anything but predictable. Ae Sun, rebellious yet tender-hearted, shines with positivity despite life’s hardships. She dreams of becoming a poet, even though she cannot attend school. Gwan Sik, on the other hand, is a quiet yet steadfast presence—love doesn’t come easily to him, but his devotion to Ae Sun is unwavering. He may not know how to comfort her when she cries or celebrate when she laughs, but his love is constant, steady, and enduring.

Beyond their romance, the drama paints a vivid picture of generations past—our parents’ youthful days, our grandparents' rebellious streaks, their first loves, and their struggles. It’s a tribute to the tender yet bold spirit of youth, a time when love was pure and life’s uncertainties were met with resilience.

With a stellar cast led by IU, the beloved singer-actress known for her depth and emotional performances, and Park Bo-gum, the global heartthrob celebrated for his charm and sincerity, When Life Gives You Tangerines promises to be a beautifully crafted masterpiece. Directed by Kim Won-suk (My Mister, Signal) and written by Lim Sang-choon (Fight for My Way), this drama is set to bring viewers a touching and nostalgic journey through love, loss, and unwavering devotion.

Will Ae Sun and Gwan Sik’s love withstand the test of time? Will their ordinary story become something truly extraordinary? When Life Gives You Tangerines is not just a drama—it’s an experience that will warm your heart and stay with you long after the credits roll. 🍊✨
